“It’s fashionable to say that we are in a ‘post-liberal’ moment, or that liberal democracy has disappeared. I’ve done so myself in some contexts. But liberal democracy is, above all, an act of will; and the same essential structures that support it remain: a First Amendment, a vibrant private sector, the separation of powers, an independent judiciary. These cannot work as designed if we wage tribal war on each other, as we are. But they are still there. They can still be used for their original purpose with their authentic liberal spirit. And the truth is that the media is eminently fixable, and our job as journos is to fix it. If we already had, none of this would be happening. That’s why Bari Weiss matters at CBS, and why I am praying she pulls it off.” (10/10/25)
