The liberal media’s relentless crusade against Donald Trump has hit another snag, with Charles Blow, a columnist for the New York Times, waving the white flag and calling it quits. The left seems to be losing its grip, and it’s hard not to chuckle at their misery—after all, their chances of ushering in another four years of Trump are looking brighter than ever. Despite their incessant belief that Kamala Harris was destined to claim the throne, many from the left’s journalistic elite are now scrambling for the exits.
With Blow’s departure, the ranks of liberal pundits are thinning. The list reads like the “who’s who” of those who consistently misjudged Trump’s appeal. It includes the likes of Norah O’Donnell, Chuck Todd, and Jim Acosta, to name a few. These veteran journalists previously thought they could hold down the fort against Trump’s influence, but it seems the pressure was too much as reality finally seeped into their delusions.

Blow’s last column, which ironically lacked the usual vitriol one would expect, focused on his journey as part of the New York Times’ editorial team. He recounted how he felt the need to document history during Trump’s first term, where it appears he was more concerned with his identity as a Black columnist during a so-called “racial event” than delivering coherent political analysis. It’s always a spectacle when a journalist frames their work as historical documentation, especially when their perspective seems more like a soap opera script than a serious political commentary.
One could argue that Blow’s contributions fit right into the New York Times’ style of hyperbolic concern and tortured metaphors. His past writings often drifted into the absurd, with statements that were more theatrical than factual. He could’ve been a hit in a comedy sketch, serving up lines about Trump that lacked any real insight yet somehow captivated the attention of leftists.
The demise of Blow’s column marks not just a personal departure, but a symbolic retreat for a segment of the media that failed to adapt to the political landscape. It underscores the broader phenomenon of liberal journalism being challenged by the resiliency of Trump’s base. As more “journalists” exit left-wing platforms, it raises one important question: who will provide the next round of outlandish takes on how Trump is supposedly a modern-day Hitler or an imminent threat to democracy? Hopefully, we can all agree that the media landscape will be a lot more interesting without their daily doses of melodrama.
