Wendy Williams is a showbiz scholar who studied tabloids as though they were canon. To the talk show host, “entertaining” and “salacious” are practically synonymous, and this sensibility makes her the most multivalent of celebrity journalists. At her best, she has made it impossible to stop listening or watching even…

As a child of a certain generation, I do not recall a time before the existence of Ellen DeGeneres’s daytime talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

On September 12, 1851, a small item appeared in the New-York Daily Tribune, the city’s largest and most progressive newspaper. “Miss Elizabeth Blackwell, M.D., has recently returned to this City, from a two years’ residence abroad,” it announced. “Miss Dr. B., we understand, has just opened an office at No. 44…

Over the weekend, news broke that Kourtney Kardashian, the meanest and most organic of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, went to Palm Springs with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, once again drumming up (sorry) rumors that the pair could be dating. On Sunday night, E! News confirmed it: this weird coupling is, in fact, a…

One morning in late December, the documentarian and producer Kelsey Padgett turned on the New York Times’ The Daily, a podcast she listens to nearly every day.

After the 2016 election, four years of Trump, the 2020 election, and a literal insurrection, one would assume that establishment media had learned a thing or two about false equivalence and bothsidesism. Well, let’s take a look at some of the stories that have been published about the Biden presidency over the last…
