Other than that, Bari Weiss doesn’t know much about journalism, including the unofficial job description of a journalist: To comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable.

Nor does Weiss know the unwritten principle possibly put to words by George Orwell: “Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.”

To hell with propagandists in service of wealth and power.
