For Americans, genocide must be a hard line.\u201d<strong>Brian Riedl<\/strong>, economist: \u201c\u2018Alleged.\u2019 Kyle\u2019s network is covering the Olympics, so they have joined the Hollywood and NBA in kissing up to Beijing. It all conveniently shows us whose virtue signaling on all other political and human rights issues can be safely ignored.\u201d<strong>Giancarlo Sopo<\/strong>, media strategist: \u201cThis will age worse than milk left outside, but it also doesn\u2019t matter because the left holds most of the institutional power in this country. That means it\u2019ll be swept under the rug, just like the New York Times\u2019 support for Stalin and Castro.
