Losing My Perspicacity October 25, 2024

Good morning and Happy Free Friday! Before we get into today’s news, a moment for my pitch. Losing My Perspicacity is 100 percent funded by reader subscriptions, and it’s also currently my only job. If the disaster at the LA Times demonstrated anything this week, it’s that editorial writing, free from interference from the billionaire moguls who own nearly every media outlet, is more important than ever. Please consider upgrading to a paid subscription, which means you’ll get LMP in your in-box five days a week.

Today, Penn State fails again when it comes to handling allegations of sexual assault; Another sex abuse scandal hits Vince McMahon and WWE; The Menendez Brothers are about to get out of jail; and Donald Trump is projecting.
