“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Dinesh D'Souza is a convicted felon and longtime GOP propagandist who Trump pardoned.
In his movie 2000 Mules, D'Souza defended private parties to show election integrity lies.
His publisher, Salem Media, retracted 2000 Mules.
TODAY, he issued an apology and correction.
Justice delayed = denied.

Exclusive: Fund manager Bessent scores double on Trump victory

America isn't "headed for bankruptcy," no matter what South African Michael Scott says here.
But if he's really concerned about the federal government's balance sheet, he should urge Trump to raise taxes on individuals like him and businesses like the ones he owns. Problem solved.
