The print edition headline on Leonard Pitts Jr.’s column “No more common national identity” is correct, but his conclusions are wrong. Not one for introspection, he of course blames conservatives. Apparently with a straight face he states, “The average Republican trusts almost no mainstream source of information.“

With mainstream media ignoring the border crisis, actively blocking information on Hunter Biden’s laptop, telling us burning riots were mostly peaceful, that Joe Biden was competent at, well anything, and spending four years screaming Russia collusion, he might want to cut us some slack for being a tad skeptical believing what we’re told.
