The Japanese hedge fund-owned Columbus Dispatch is trying very hard to get back in touch with its old family-owned crazy. The experiment with being even-handed and rational in its news and editorial page policies is apparently at an end.

Case No. 1. The Dispatch unleashed a vicious attack on Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel for spending $2 million of tax money to run public service advertisements touting a savings plans for the physically challenged on Ohio television stations. It featured Mandel, OSU head football coach Urban Meyer – who should have known better – and a sweet young girl. "Lying, hiding or just plain reckless" was the headline of the editorial that took down Mandel.
 

I only wish that the newspaper cared as much about the alleged $2 million that Gov. John Kasich cost the state's taxpayers to pay for travel, food and protection by State Troopers while he traipsed across the country in 2015 and 2016 running for president. The Dispatch never challenged the state law that permitted the secrecy and hardly lifted a reportorial finger to unearth and publicize the records.
 

Columbus is a city where an authoritarian Democratic Party machine holds firm control over all city politics, backed by the checkbooks of their suburban millionaire and billionaire allies, like Les Wexner and Ron Pizzuti. The Republican Party is pretty much a nonentity. Green Party candidates have tried to take on the machine as a third party without luck so far.

Basically, it’s kidnapping.

Were the Border Patrol agents wearing MAGA hats when they grabbed Rosa Maria Hernandez as she left her hospital room?

“It’s a shocking case — the most outrageous case I’ve ever seen. Is it a preview of things to come?” ACLU attorney Michael Tan said to me about the incident, shortly after the civil-rights group filed suit against the federal government demanding the 10-year-old child’s release from a detention facility in Texas, 150 miles from her home in Laredo.

Rosa Maria, who has cerebral palsy, was arrested at a children’s hospital on Oct. 25, the day after she had emergency gall bladder surgery. She’s been at the detention center for a week now, under the bureaucratic “care” of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which wants to ship her back to Mexico.

French filmmakers Thibout Bertrand, Guillaume Lebeau and Benjamin Clavel have flown from Paris to L.A. to present the American debut of their just released documentary Red In Blue at the Left Coast Forum. The 57 minute film is especially timely as the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution is this Nov. 7.

Red In Blue includes clips from American movies about the Bolshevik uprising going back to silent movies and includes scenes from David Lean’s Dr. Zhivago, Warren Beatty’s Reds, the animated feature Anastasia and more. The documentary also features archival footage and original interviews with Warren Beatty, a U.S. Red plus French and American film historians, including Ed Rampell, co-founder of Hollywood Progressive, author of Progressive Hollywood, A People’s Film History of the United States.
