Leftist political commentator Briahna Joy Gray, the former national press secretary to Bernie Sanders, was fired from the Hill days after repeatedly demeaning an Israeli hostageβs sister and dismissing her pleas, while pushing common pro-Hamas talking points, including Israelβs culpability for the stall in hostage talks, denial of October 7 atrocities, and even the suggestion that support for Israel led to the 9/11 terror attacks in a βdisturbingβ interview.

Does Time magazine really matter anymore?
It still has a circulation of more than 1 million, but that is one-third of what it was in 2012. Does anything it reports still resonate, or is it like a tree that collapses unheard in the solitude of the woods?
Time just secured an interview with President Joe Biden, when Biden has granted very few interviews to print news outlets. Time gained access to Donald Trump in April, and the first thing you notice when you compare the two interviews is the length.
At the top of the transcripts, Time claims the Biden transcript is a β28 minute read,β while Trumpβs is listed as 83 minutes. Timeβs βfact checkβ of the Trump interviews (β21 minute readβ) is almost as long as the Biden interview.
Another noticeable tilt is the agenda of questions. Bidenβs questions were overwhelmingly about foreign policy. There are three on inflation, three on immigration, and three on Bidenβs age. There were zero questions on Hunter Biden and the Biden scandals. There were zero questions on the Trump trial or the Trump prosecutions.
Did Team Biden put any conditions on which questions could be asked? Itβs a fair question, considering how selective theyβve been in handing out interviews.
By contrast, by my count, Time asked Trump 11 questions about the Trump prosecutions (and βrevengeβ for them), five questions about Jan. 6, two about potential political violence in 2025, four on fighting the βDeep State,β three on his βdictator for a dayβ joke, and four on whether heβd seek to overturn the 22nd Amendment and seek a third term.
On top of that, Trump drew 14 questions on abortion policy and six on crime. Itβs obvious from the Time transcripts that they consider Trumpβs opinions on domestic issues to be much more controversialβand even extremistβthan anything Biden advocates.
The rest of the media picked up on Trumpβs abortion answers, and Biden didnβt have to provide any abortion answers.
Even the age questions to Biden were timid softballs, and Bidenβs answerβsuggesting he could take his interviewer Massimo Calabresi in a fightβwas taken as a joke. Calabresi told CNNβs Jake Tapper it was βlightheartedβ and βquite funny.β Biden responded to a follow-up about voter concerns with his usual spin: βWatch me.β Calabresi confessed it might be a βstock answer.β So, why not push through it? Why not ask, βEveryoneβs been watching you, thatβs your problemβ?
Time could have asked Biden why his team refuses to release audio of his interview with stolen-documents special counsel Robert Hur, with the fear Republicans will exploit the audio in advertising. But Time pretends Hur is a nobody and that Bidenβs stolen documents should already be forgotten. Hur refused to prosecute Biden, and Jack Smith just keeps prosecuting Trump.
It looks a bit rigged.
By contrast, Trumpβs interviewer Eric Cortellessa lectured him: βI just want to say for the record, thereβs no evidence that President Biden directed this prosecution against you.β Trump rejected that: βI always hate the way a reporter will make those statements. They know itβs so wrong.β Time, like other slavishly pro-Biden outlets, refuses to acknowledge that Bidenβs No. 3 Justice Department official Matthew Colangelo resigning to join Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Braggβs team of Trump prosecutors shreds the βno evidenceβ lie.
The Democrats running Time are hyperbolically raising fear that a president using the Justice Department might go after his political opponents, while somehow being blind and deaf enough to ignore that Biden is using the Justice Department to go after his political opponents. They canβt believe anyone would object to their shamelessness.

In our modern political dumpster fire, there has never been an art so refined and illustrious as pointless pearl-clutching.Β
In this, the ninth year of 2016, most everyone is fairly desensitized to the political drama emanating from the Leftβs ardent claims that any conservative policy or protest is an appeal to fascism as their own organizations and protesters set fire to cities (and sometimes themselves).
Republicans pass a bill banning sexually explicit content in public schools from kindergarten to third grade? Florida Democrats and media labeled it fascism.
A U.S. Supreme Court justiceβs wife flies a Revolutionary War flag commissioned by George Washington? Salonβs senior writer described Justice Samuel Alito and his wife as βextremely invested in the semiotics of American fascism.β
The New Republic, The Guardian, taxpayer-funded PBSβany time a Republican so much as upholds parliamentary procedure, defends former President Donald Trump, or questions the surge of gang and cartel members amid waves of illegal immigrantsβthese outlets are ready in the wings to call any to the right of Chairman Mao a fascist.
The latest banner of fascism to be shouted down in a βTwo Minutes Hateβ session out of George Orwellβs β1984β: flying the flag of the United States upside down. The horror!
As ridiculous as it might soundβthe group that has spent the past eight years defending those who burn, shred, and desecrate the U.S. flag is suddenly outraged over many in the nation who have flown the U.S. flag upside down in a symbol of distress over Trumpβs political prosecution and conviction.
Many on the Left and precious few on the Right have taken to social media to lambast those who would fly the U.S. flag upside down as βdisrespectful,β βtreasonous,β and βidol-worshipers.β
Is this the case? Are those who reacted to Trumpβs felony convictions in New York City simply bowing at his feet in a brutal backstabbing of the United States? Is this heinous, unspeakable act the very hallmark of fascism and the alleged βcult of personalityβ that the Left has predicted for almost a century?
Of course not, and you know that.
We neednβt walk down the halls of easily accessible history to discern how this wrist-shattering pearl clutch is both hypocritical and ignorant. But weβll do so, not out of necessity but because heaping good data en masse against poorly constructed arguments is entertaining.
First and foremost: Flying the flag of the United States upside down is not disrespectful, illegal, treasonous, or even unprecedented.
Although 4 U.S. Code Β§ 8, commonly referred to as the βFlag Code,β isnβt legally enforceable (because U.S. citizens retain First Amendment rights to do with their own flags whatever they wish), flying the flag upside down under appropriate circumstances wouldnβt violate the law.
The law clearly states: βThe flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.β (The βunionβ refers to the patch of blue with 50 stars.)
Thousands in the U.S. have flown our flag upside down to express their βdire distressβ in such instances over the past century.
Leftists consistently flew the U.S. flag upside down throughout Trumpβs presidency to signal their deep disquiet and fear, from Washington state to Louisiana. Democrats in New Jersey resolutely flew the flag upside down in protest of Trumpβs inauguration in January 2017. Some Republicans flew their flags upside down when Barack Obama was reelected in 2012.
The American flag has been flown upside down as βa tribute to veteransβ sacrifice,β and was one of the many symbols of protest against the Vietnam War used by leftist demonstrators in the 1960s.
The Flag Code doesnβt specify what βextreme danger to life or propertyβ entails, nor does it restrict such interpretation to a physical danger or a political one. Might there be a situation today in which many Americans feel in deep distress over a perceived danger to the life and property of their republic?
Never before in American history has a former president, much less one running for office again, been charged and convicted in such a kangaroo-court fashion that even his political adversaries note the insanity of the circumstances.
In an extremely heated presidential election campaign, indicting one of the two frontrunners would be considered enough of an anathemaβbut the case of New York v. Trump was more than precarious, it was a circus.Β
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, ran on the promise of doing anything he could to find something to indict Trump with. Outside his jurisdiction, Bragg used a federal election statuteβwhich the Federal Election Commission already had stated Trump didnβt violateβas a convoluted lever to turn 34 counts of βfalsifying business records,β misdemeanors that by this point were outside New Yorkβs statute of limitations, into felonies.
As if that werenβt enough, Judge Juan Merchan refused to allow a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission to testify, refused to allow the defense to speak to the jury before deliberation, and informed jurors that to convict they didnβt have to reach a unanimous decision on what crime was committed.
Such actions by Merchan set a nation on fire even as trust in institutions already was wavering.
Elie Honig, a former federal and state prosecutor, wrote for New York magazine, an extremely liberal publication: βProsecutors got Trumpβbut they contorted the law.β Honig pointed out that never before in U.S. history has there been a state prosecution using federal election law.
Youβll notice that I havenβt mentioned Trumpβs sex life, his character, or his business decisionsβin fact, many of those expressing extreme distress at this forded Rubicon arenβt being protective of Trump like he was some kind of nonsensical religious idol.Β
Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, and Mitt Romney, R-Utah, who have spent the past few years as Trumpβs chief opposition within the GOP, both called this case and conviction despicable.Β
When a reporter asks President Joe Biden whether he used this case to politically persecute Trump and he casts a wicked grin in her direction, how is the nation supposed to respond?
Why is the left side of the aisle afforded the right to ride through towns and cities shouting about the impending doom of the republic like some bastardized caricature of Paul Revere, and the right side isnβt allowed to call out the very sham John Adams unpopularly fought in court to prevent?
Spare me your clutched pearls, neoconservatives. Your faux dignity and condescension at the concerns of Americans whose carcass of a justice system is paraded openly donβt move me.Β
I donβt have to defend Trumpβs personal life and sign onto a βcult of personalityβ to recognize that each of us has a right to be free from political persecution and election interference.Β
Commentator Alyssa Farahβs silly claims that flying the flag upside down signals βselling outβ are as pathetic and hypocritical as the rest of the cast of βThe Viewβ with whom she clucks and quacks about abortion rights, gun confiscation, and anti-Catholicism.
Whistling past the graveyard and sending a βstrongly worded letterβ have only mired us further in the muck of Third World antics.
I reserve the right to fly my flag upside down to signal my extreme distress at this danger to the life and property of the republic I love, and Iβll do so whenever I find it appropriate.

When the elected Democrat district attorney of Manhattan and his 12 (likely Democrat) Manhattan jurors convicted Donald Trump on artificially inflated felony counts of business accounting, you could count on leftist journalists to try to make it the Most Historic Event Ever.
Weβre not even sure it wonβt all be reversed on appeal. But βhistoricβ is their word of choice β¦ when they like the result.
In 1999, when Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath about sex with an intern named Monica Lewinsky, Geraldo Rivera was furious on the βTodayβ show: βIt was a spiteful action, an action that they performed absolutely in violation of the framersβ intent. It was a legislative coup dβetat.β
Impeaching Trump twice was never a βcoupβ to NBC News. But the worst part of that spectacle was leftist activists like Rivera trying to speak for the framers of the Constitution. He was implying it wasnβt just a revolting result but revolting in the eyes of James Madison and the rest. The Left reveres nothing about the Founders, routinely denouncing them as a racist, sexist, capitalist patriarchy.
This regrettable citation of the Founding Fathers happened again with the Trump trial, and again in this case, the American revolutionaries were placed on the side of the Democrats.
George Stephanopoulos began his commentary on βThis Weekβ with the second president: βIn 1774, John Adams said representative government and trial by jury are the heart and lungs of liberty. Two hundred and fifty years later, the heart and lungs of liberty are facing what may be the ultimate stress test.β Itβs John Adams vs. Trump.
The front page of the June 3 New York Times was topped with an editorialβlabeled βNews Analysisββfrom its White House correspondent Peter Baker. He picked Patrick Henry as the Trump opponent.
βThe revolutionary hero Patrick Henry knew this day would come,β Baker began. Henry βfeared that eventually a criminal might occupy the presidency and use his powers to thwart anyone who sought to hold him accountable.β In Henryβs words, βAway with your president, we will have a king.β
Never mind that historians pointed out Henry was inveighing against the Constitution before it was ratified. Baker channeled the Democrat line: βThe notion that 34 felonies is not automatically disqualifying and a convicted criminal can be a viable candidate for commander in chief upends two and a half centuries of assumptions about American democracy.β
Inside the paper, the headline over Bakerβs essay was βIf a Felon Becomes President, Can Anyone Limit His Power?β The text box underlined the theme again: βRevival of a long-ago fear that a U.S. leader could try to be a king.β All that followed was the argument ad infinitum that Trumpβs second term would result in βunfettered abuses of authority.β
What Baker and Stephanopoulos refused to understand was that this rhetoric of a president abusing authority can also be applied to President Joe Biden. On CNN, Scott Jennings mocked Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., on how Biden ruthlessly ignored the courts and the Congress in offering $165 billion in student loan βforgivenessβ to win younger voters.
βYouβre a member of Congress,β Jennings told Auchincloss. βDoes it not offend you that the president of the United States is usurping your authority?β The eventual answer was no.
The Democrats and their media enablers use βhistoryβ to establish how there is a βright side,β and that is their leftist agenda. Undercutting democratic norms and coequal branches of government is admirable when the ends justify the means. The Founding Fathers are just yellowed paper puppets in their relentless power games.

Traditional media outlets are failingβbadly. Whether itβs the lack of public trust in their ability to report the news accurately and fairly or their reactionary approach to world events, the American people deserve something better.
Ten years ago today, we launched The Daily Signal as an alternative to the establishment press. We believed then that major news outlets and broadcast networks were leaving a massive audience of conservatives and independent-minded Americans unserved. We set out on June 3, 2014, to inject competition into the market.
Our hypothesis was correct. Outlets like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and NPR were shocked by Donald Trumpβs victory in 2016. They never saw it coming because they never paid attention to the populist movement that propelled Trump to the White House.
Sadly, despite some promises to reform their ways, many media outlets have resorted to even worse behavior today. They have further alienated millions of Americans.
A recent I&I/TIPP poll, which measures trust in media, found that a mere 34% of Americans trust traditional media outlets.
With the future of America at stake, this is a warning signβbut also an opportunity.
Thatβs why weβre announcing an exciting new era for The Daily Signal. We view the publicβs crumbling faith in media as a moment to put rocket boosters on our scrappy news outlet.
As of today, The Daily Signal is officially an independent media organization with our own leadership team and board of directors. Over the next month, we will complete the process of separating from The Heritage Foundation, although we will continue to adhere to the same conservative principles that have guided our journalists for the past 10 years.
>>> Meet The Daily Signalβs Team of Journalists
Importantly, this change will allow us to publish a wider range of content than we have in the past, including coverage of political news in this critical election year. Weβve given our website a fresh look and weβre also adding a new Journalism Fellowship Program with the goal of training the next generation of conservative journalists, two of whom start today.
What does this mean for you?
You can expect the same insightful reporting and thoughtful commentary weβve produced for the past 10 years. Just as our name implies, we will continue be your signal that cuts through the noise to transmit the news quickly and simply.
We will always tell you the TRUTH.
Thatβs our promise.
If weβre serious about saving America and creating a better future for the next generation, it requires an informed public.
Our nationβs leaders, and the people who elect them, need clearheaded, truthful information to make wise decisionsβthe intel to understand whatβs really going on in centers of influence.
In the coming days, weeks, and months, you can expect The Daily Signal to make investments in three areas where we see traditional media lacking:
Over the past decade, our small but hardworking team has consistently delivered fair, accurate, and trustworthy journalism to a loyal audience that reaches tens of millions of people each year. As weβve embraced new forms of storytelling, including short-form documentaries and bite-sized videos, that audience has grown exponentially.
>>> A Look Back at The Daily Signalβs First Decade
We wonβt ever be content with the status quo. Innovation is part of our culture. And thereβs really no other option with the radical Left determined to alter America in ways that will make this country unrecognizable for our children and grandchildren.
To all the patriotic Americans and supporters of our work, thank you for making the past 10 years possible. When we launched in 2014, I embraced the words of a mentor, Andrew Breitbart, who believed we needed more voices, not fewer. And itβs with that same spirit today that we embark on this new era for The Daily Signal.
By focusing on quality journalism, the unmatched knowledge of our contributors, and insider intel thanks to our access policymakers, weβre ready to take The Daily Signal to the next level.
Thanks for making us your trusted source for news. And if youβre not already a subscriber, please sign up for our newsletters.

Ten years after its creation, The Daily Signal enters a new era Monday as its own independent organization.Β
Today, its dedicated team of reporters and editors serve an audience of millions of Americans who rely on The Daily Signal to produce high-quality news stories and publish insightful commentary and analysis.
The team consists of 12 full-time staff, two fellows, two interns, and many contributors. Learn more about them below and see other Daily Signal authors.
Senior News Producer and Podcast Host
After interning at The Heritage Foundation in the spring of 2018, Allen began her career as a communications department administrative assistant. After two years, she moved into a position with The Daily Signal in spring of 2020. Allen says she will never forget the experiences she has had reporting from the U.S. southern border. She deeply respects NewsNation reporter Ali Bradley for her bold and honest coverage of the southern border situation. Allenβs goal for The Daily Signal in 2024 is to increase podcast quality with even stronger coverage of the daily news and major policy issues facing the nation.
President and Executive Editor
As the founding editor-in-chief of The Daily Signal, Bluey always dreamed of building a news outlet at Heritage from the moment he started his job in 2007. Having previously covered Congress as a reporter, he saw an opportunity to marry Heritageβs policy expertise with rich storytelling. He models his own approach to journalism on the work of the now-deceased syndicated columnist Robert Novak. He has big hopes for The Daily Signalβs future by putting a stronger emphasis on video, pursuing investigative reporting, and expanding its Capitol Hill coverage and political commentary.
News Intern
Crozier was selected to be a summer 2024 intern at The Daily Signal. He continues to build his writing portfolio and learn from The Daily Signalβs talented, experienced staff as he advances his own budding journalism career. One of his biggest inspirations in conservative media is The Daily Signalβs Mary Margaret Olohan for her fearless reporting on important cultural issues. Crozier hopes to become a more productive writer and reporter through the internship.
Senior Editor and Writing Adviser
After working as the official writer for Heritageβs previous president, Gottstein became a writing adviser. In that role, he helps policy analysts to write more compelling op-eds geared toward educating policymakers and the general public. The role also includes editing for The Daily Signal and managing the other editors. Gottstein enjoys the entertaining and useful writings of John Stossel. This year, Gottstein wants to help grow The Daily Signal audience significantly because he thinks Americans often cannot get the unique news, commentary, policy analysis, and solutions to some of Americaβs biggest issues anywhere else.
News Producer
Kennedy recently moved to The Daily Signal from digital production at Heritage to help improve video content while furthering the outletβs investigative ambitions. Previously, he oversaw the day-to-day production of digital content. Kennedy is proud of his work with colleagues Virginia Allen and Christian Lasval to report exclusively on illegal aliens driving unlicensed mopeds and motorcycles in Washington, D.C. His favorite memory on the job is traveling to Maui to cover Hawaiiβs wildfires. Kennedy admires Dutch historian Frank DikΓΆtterβs books that document the now-deceased Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedongβs reign of terror. This year, he wants to see The Daily Signalβs social channels reach No. 1 in Forbesβ annual social media ranking of free-market organizations.Β
Investigative Columnist
Since Heritageβs Lindsey Burke recruited Kinnett for investigative column writing in 2022, he has written The Daily Signalβs most-read article of 2023, βCalifornia Bill Would Charge Any Parent Who Doesnβt Affirm Transgenderism With βChild Abuse.ββ It resulted in backlash so intense that California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed the legislation. Flying to Maui to cover the wildfires with Tim Kennedy is Kinnettβs favorite memory at The Daily Signal. This year, he hopes to help create The Daily Signalβs first Instagram video with more than 5 million views or to syndicate his radio show to three stations. His top two media role models are Ben Shapiro and Chris Rufo.Β
Chief News Correspondent
Lucas is an accomplished journalist, veteran White House correspondent, and author with extensive experience in political reporting. As The Daily Signalβs chief news correspondent, he covers a wide range of topics and uses his investigative skills to uncover the truth. He has a keen ability to distill complex issues into clear, compelling stories. He is also the author of several books, including βThe Myth of Voter Suppression: The Leftβs Assault on Clean Electionsβ and βTainted by Suspicion: The Secret Deals and Electoral Chaos of Disputed Presidential Elections.β Lucas previously reported from state capitals in Kentucky and Connecticut and is a graduate of Columbia Universityβs Graduate School of Journalism.
Digital Fellow
McCue was a Daily Signal intern during the summer 2023 session. She is proud of the breadth of topics she covered during her internship. One of McCueβs favorite memories at The Daily Signal was joining the staff at a Turning Point USA conference in Florida to promote the outlet. Emily Jashinsky, director of the National Journalism Center, is McCueβs journalism role model because she has made a name for herself by speaking boldly and unapologetically while still practicing thoughtful journalism. As the digital media fellow, McCue hopes to help make The Daily Signal a household name for conservative news.
Senior Editor
Along with Rob Bluey and Katrina Trinko, McIntyre helped found The Daily Signal in 2014. At the time, he was in his seventh year as an editor in Heritageβs communications department following a 30-year career as a reporter and editor at weekly and daily newspapers. McIntyre is proud of his work helping Daily Signal reporters and other contributors to capture the importance and consequences of public policy challenges and solutions in their news stories and commentaries. During his time with The Daily Signal, his favorite memory is when he helped interview, hire, and develop The Daily Signalβs first three full-time reporters.Β
Mooney came to work at The Daily Signal after reporting for the State Policy Network, a nonprofit organization, on how the IRS was targeting tea party activists during the Obama administration. The Daily Signal became the ideal platform for Mooney to expand on that coverage when a Virginia farmer, in a long-standing legal dispute with environmental activists, became caught up in the IRS controversy. Mooney admires the work Ken McIntyre and Peter Parisi do as editors on his articles. He aims to investigate new topics this year, such as election integrity, the border crisis, and cultural disputes involving radical public school curriculums.
Managing Editor
OβNeil came to The Daily Signal after working as a Fox News Digital editor and as a PJ Media editor. His passion for conservative journalism and the truth led OβNeil to write his book, βMaking Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center.β OβNeil loves bringing his family to Capitol Hill events and connecting with people at The Daily Signal. In journalism, he most looks up to G.K. Chesterton. OβNeil hopes to increase The Daily Signalβs website traffic, get himself and his colleagues on TV more often, and help develop the original and exclusive reporting that drives conversation.
Senior Reporter
Olohan came to work at The Daily Signal after working at the Daily Caller News Foundation. Her most influential Daily Signal project to date was coverage of high school girls in Vermont who pushed back against a boy identifying as a girl who was using their locker room. One of Olohanβs favorite memories at The Daily Signal was going to the Big Board, a bar in Washington, D.C., to report on the stripping of its liquor license for refusal to enforce COVID-19 mask mandates. This year, she would like to identify the leaker of the Supreme Court draft opinion for Roe v. Wade. Olohanβs journalism role model is Mollie Hemingway, editor-in-chief of The Federalist.Β
Editor
Parisi joined The Daily Signal after responding to a posting on a journalism jobs board. He had previously worked at The Washington Times for 10 years with Ken McIntyre. Parisi enjoys sharing the benefit of his many years of writing and editing experience with interns, adding that getting thank-you notes from departing interns after each semester makes it all worthwhile. He relishes the challenge of compiling and editing policy analystsβ and reportersβ analyses of presidential State of the Union addresses and presidential candidatesβ debates under intense deadline pressure. His journalistic role models include the now-deceased talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh and current talk-radio host Chris Plante. This year, Parisi hopes to write a column that makes the top 10 in that monthβs tally of The Daily Signalβs most-read pieces.
News Intern
Pero is a summer 2024 Daily Signal intern. A rising senior at Hillsdale College, she is a staff member of the collegeβs newspaper, The Collegian. Having interned with The Daily Callerβs video production department in the summer of 2023, Pero is eager to develop her writing and reporting skills this summer. She looks up to the journalistic work of John J. Miller, director of the journalism program at Hillsdale. During her time at The Daily Signal, Pero hopes to become a sharper thinker and stronger writer, and one day to decide on a beat topic to specialize in.Β
Sleem has worked at The Daily Signal since graduating from Christopher Newport University in 2014. Her greatest accomplishment with the outlet has been taking on various roles and working with people who have helped her to sharpen her journalism skills. Sleemβs favorite memory at The Daily Signal is covering the 2016 election results with the team. Everyone worked together very quickly to get information out to the public. One of her favorite journalists is Virginia Allen, who she says is a natural at reporting and interviewing. Sleem hopes to help The Daily Signal team out in whatever way she can this year in order to keep people informed about whatβs going on in Washington, D.C., and how it affects them.
Columnist
Stepman previously worked at Human Events and Breitbart News. He describes his book βThe War on History: The Conspiracy to Rewrite Americaβs Pastβ as his top accomplishment. A memory that sticks out to Stepman is when he covered a socialist conference in Chicago that foreshadowed the Leftβs embrace of transgenderism. As a columnist, he looks up to Victor Davis Hanson for combining clear, concise thought with factual depth and history. Stepman plans to have a second book in the works by the end of the year.Β
Editor-in-Chief
Trinko joined The Daily Signal in 2014 to help develop the strategy for a new news outlet focused on quality reporting of issues that interest conservatives. She is grateful to lead a team that has fearlessly reported on hot-button topics, such as detransitioners, Obamacare, the border, and more. Trinko fondly remembers fast-paced nights when the team worked on election coverage, brainstorming and reacting together in real time, pizza in hand, while working to provide the best journalism it could for The Daily Signalβs audience.Β
Reporting Fellow
Troutman joins The Daily Signal as a reporting fellow after interning at the media outlet in the spring of 2023. As an intern, she covered Tucker Carlsonβs speech at Heritageβs 50th Anniversary Gala. The article blew up a few days after the announcement that Carlson was no longer with Fox News. Troutmanβs journalism role model is Mary Margaret Olohan, because she admires Olohanβs bravery in covering controversial stories, her drive, and her constant ability to get amazing news scoops. With this being Troutmanβs first full-time job in journalism, she hopes to write a lot and break many untold stories.
