Dear Ms Wolf. I just want to thank you for such a wonderfully both enlightening and respectful article. I am exceedingly grateful for both you & Mr. Carlson and your dedication to true journalism, including even retaining the desire and ability to hear viewpoints from one "on the other side".

Kirsten Powers, a dedicated leftist, used to have concerns about this. She wrote about it in her book, "The Silencing," in 2015. She recounted how when she used to appear as a regular on Fox News that her friends on the Left complained to her constantly, "You're giving that network legitimacy," as if she had the power to do that. She eventually left Fox. Though, I didn't hear the reason. I used to hear that she appeared on CNN, but I don't know where she is these days.

I don't recall her going through the same ordeal you did. She wasn't trying to publicize censored information. The complaint against her was just that she was arguing with conservatives on Fox, as that was a prominent feature of the network for many years. Their slogan being, "We report, you decide." Fox used to consider itself unique, because Roger Ailes started it as an answer to the mainline networks, whom Americans had learned to trust over generations, but which conservatives had picked up were a) lying about them, and b) were slanting news coverage to favor and buttress the leftist narrative. Since 2017, Fox has gradually steered away from that mission, in a quite deliberate process. Ailes could no longer manage the network, so Rupert Murdoch, and his sons, took over. His sons, in particular, hated what Fox News was. Their goal ever since has been to turn it into another version of CNN. So, Bill O'Reilly was out, and now, so is Tucker Carlson. We can expect more to follow.

Cable TV is a slowly sinking ship, as internet media is taking over, but since it's still a big business, I expect it will still be around for many years. It's just not a growth business anymore.

Just a quick note about the yellow star. I worked for one hospital that identified fall-risk patients by a star posted outside their room. I believe it was yellow. It was thought of as kinder than posting the words 'fall risk' outside the room and every hospital knew if they saw the patient engaged in risky behavior (such as climbing over the bedrails) to call for help.

Who are these clowns who have such faith in Big Pharma?

I feel bad for "Doctor" Wolf. However, can she tell us where and when she attended medical school? (Quack Quack Online University?) I'm close friends with two of her Yale classmates and they said that it's been tragic to watch this person fall apart both mentally and ethically, in such a public, humiliating way. They're incredulous and heartbroken that such a promising and gifted woman could so rapidly descend into this type of mental state. I feel for her family and whatever real friends she still has in her life. And I sincerely hope that she will seek the professional help she so clearly needs.

What an outstanding declaration of independent thinking, honesty, belief in timeless values and perseverance! I salute Ms. Wolf for the strong character and clear thinking that she possesses.

America needs many more people like you. Only thanks to people like yourself can America be saved from a fate, which would end up worse, than depicted in Orwell's 1984.

it was ok back in the day to mix and sparr in elite circles with the other side, as long as you didn't cross certain lines.( i.e. kept things enjoyably superficial) Ben Bradley was involved in covering up the framing of a black man for the 1964 murder of Mary Meyers, JFK mistress. A murder the cia committed. Mary was crossing this line in washington in her investigation of the realities of the assassination. she was going too deep. asking too many questions.

Dr. Wolfe, I BEG you to stop pronouncing it

"vee-airs"... This mispronunciation of such a simple word(acronym) make you COMPLETELY lose credibility, instantly, so they'll listen no further after hearing that! It's pronounced: VAIRS/VARES.

In the past few years I hav often wondered WHAT has happened to minds and views such as Naomi Wolf has shared in this article. God bless you, Dr Wolf! THANK YOU!

Naomi is, in short, an angel from the heavens above with everything you could possibly desire in a woman, and both women and men feel comfortable with her.

Why? Why is the DNC President and echelon inside and outside of it wanting to destroy the Republic and the Constitution? Why is thev2nd and 3rd amendments mostly an endangered species? Sad.

I am not from usa, nut NEVER in my 61 years have a seen such biasness and deliberate hatred from one "dogmatic" democratic group towards conservative opinions. Hair rising and scary and primitive. People are suppose not to think the same, otherwise we would not have been thinking...it is as if we are back before plato and aristotle, dark aged minions. I don't even think these aggresive democrats should deserve the nametag democrat, because they don't even know what it means. It means at the most basic to have a choice to speak at the least, and it has been taken away in a undemocratic way globally. I think democrars should be renamed to communists or neocommunists, because that is the road of aggressive democratic abrasion they are taking...

This is the most important thing I will read all year if not longer. You are a hero for writing this!

I subscribe to this blog because I'm fascinated by Ms. Wolf's narcissism. She tells us in every post what a sensational wonderful, life she has. She also loved loved her Lefty friends and misses them terribly. Note: she never sees the damage that they did. That includes her announcing with pride her feminist roots instead of apologizing. Feminism destroyed this country, starting with denigrating motherhood.

I miss that America and wonder what the hell is going on, too.

Is there somewhere where I can read about the incidents that caused you to lose your fucking mind?
