Bernie Sanders is on a roll. Following his strong showing in Iowa—where he won the most votes and the second most delegates (pending the mess there ever being cleared up)—he’s the favorite to win today’s primary in New Hampshire, which would establish him, surely, as the Democratic frontrunner. Yesterday, a new poll from Quinnipiac showed Sanders leading the field nationally, eight points ahead of Joe Biden, who led the last national poll that Quinnipiac released. The data site FiveThirtyEight currently has Sanders as a 2 in 5 bet to win the nomination outright. Second favorite, at 3 in 10, is No One. The usual caveats about polls, probabilities, and predictions apply here, of course. Still, in light of longer–term trends, the Sanders surge shouldn’t come as a surprise. In the latter months of last year—as Sanders climbed in Iowa and New Hampshire, in particular—his campaign and its supporters complained repeatedly that mainstream news-media coverage was understating his rise, and ignoring other indicators of his strength, including fundraising. In November, David Sirota, a former journalist who works for Sanders’s campaign, listed examples of the trend in Bern Notice, his email newsletter; they included a New York Times push notification comparing the polling positions of Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and Pete Buttigieg, but omitting Sanders, even though he came second in the poll in question, and a CNN chyron to similar effect. To hammer his point home, Sirota quoted a... Continue reading at 'Columbia Journalism Review'

But with its incoherent, episodic script, “In Like Flynn” lacks the worth of even a minor Flynn film. This silly swashbuckler finds... Continue reading at Los Angeles Times

Is it possible to write a fantasy novel that has no elements of fantasy? Or a graphic novel that has only occasional graphics? Author Edward Carey, an Englishman who lives in Austin, Texas, certainly thinks so. His new novel, “Little,” (out now from Riverhead) makes up a strange hybrid of things...
