A roundup of Wednesday’s editorials include a warning from former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, a lesson in unmasking, a look at what Google knows about you, and why the notion of the strong, silent American man has always been a myth.
Here are some opinions from the Right and from the Left.
Opinions from the Right
1. Pass GOP tax cuts by Thanksgiving or get ready for Speaker Pelosi
Former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former Best Buy CEO Brad Anderson writes for USA Today, "Following Republicans' failure to fix the country's health care system, polls show Americans are increasingly flirting with Democratic governance in Congress next year. This means Republicans must change their game plan. The next six months must not be the same as the last six months."
2. Unmasking - What you need to know
Judge Andrew Napolitano explains what unmasking is and why he is so concerned about the actions of the Obama administration.
3. Procter & Gamble's Identity-Politics Pandering
From conservative columnist Michelle Malkin: “Once upon a time, brothers-in-law William Procter and James Gamble sold candles and soap. Their 19th-century family business grew into the largest consumer goods conglomerate in the world -- launching the most recognizable brands on our grocery shelves, including Tide, Pampers, Crest, Nyquil and Old Spice. Now, Procter & Gamble want to conquer a new market: identity-politics pandering.”
Opinions from the Left
4. Abolitionists still have work to do in America
Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, penned an editorial for The Guardian. “What does it look like to build a city, state or nation invested in communities thriving rather than their death and destruction? To ask this question is the first act of an abolitionist. I am an abolitionist.”
5. Editorial: Privacy concerns grow as Google tracks us offline
From The San Francisco Chronicle: “How much does your Internet browser know about you? The answer is: even more than you could possibly know. Google recently announced a new advertising program tying consumers’ online behavior to purchases they make in stores.
6. Make Manhood Great Again? It Never Was.
From the Daily Beast: “David Brooks and Peggy Noonan think Trump has destroyed American masculinity—but their idealized era of strong, silent men was always a fiction.”
