A response to National Review

Note: Badger Institute President Mike Nichols issued a new statement on Rich Lowry on Oct. 15, 2024.

Our Annual Dinner is coming up on October 1, and we’ll feature a panel of veteran journalists and think tank leaders talking about left-wing media bias and how conservatives can make sure our ideas and opinions are fairly and factually reported.

This is a new line-up, a switch we made because of concern about an interview Rich Lowry, our previously scheduled speaker, took part in on the Megyn Kelly Show.

Rich has now accused us of canceling him out of cowardice or because of the “environment.”

Not so. For the record, we’re a fundamentally conservative state-level policy and journalism shop, and our decisions about speakers have nothing to do with big left-right political conflict at the national level or anything happening anywhere else. We don’t fear scrutiny or discussion. We welcome it.

We looked closely at the facts and believe we came to the right decision. We try hard to do what’s right and believe that we have done that.

Now, can we please get back to talking about government waste and overspending and tax levels and lousy schools? Energy needs? Housing? Federalism?
