</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">During former President Donald Trump's four years in the White House, conservative pundit Charlie Sykes was among his most persistent critics on the right — and during the 2020 election, Sykes enthusiastically supported now-President Joe Biden. Three months into Biden's presidency, Sykes laments the GOP's ongoing Trumpification in an April 28 column for The Bulwark. And the Wisconsin resident cites the vote audit in Maricopa County, Arizona as a glaring example of the "season of crazy" that is plaguing the Republican Party.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Republicans in the Arizona State Senate recently ordered an audit of the vote in Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix — hiring the Florida-based firm Cyber Ninjas to conduct the audit and using One America News (a cable television channel that prides itself on being to the right of Fox News) for the livestream. The presidential election results in Arizona have long since been thoroughly vetted and certified by Arizona's conservative Republican governor, Doug Ducey, but the April 2021 audit plays well to the QAnon crowd and far-right conspiracy theorists who buy into Trump's debunked and baseless claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Sykes writes, "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Arizona election audit, which is surely one of the most guano-soaked bits of weirdness in our never-ending season of crazy…. They ordered the 'audit' despite the fact that three previous recounts had shown no problems and no evidence of fraud. Despite that, the GOP senators insisted on a hand recount of 2.1 million ballots cast in the county that represents two-thirds of the vote statewide.... Predictably, the 'audit' has so far been a clusterfuck."</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The conservative pundit adds that although the Arizona audit is a ridiculous waste of time, far-right conspiracy theorists are taking it quite seriously.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Sykes explains, "The Arizona story is worth keeping an eye on for at least two reasons: (1) It will likely be used to feed the Big Lie and sundry conspiracy theories, and (2) it is an indication of the metastasizing crazy in the GOP."</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Sykes discussed the Arizona audit during an April 26 appearance on MSNBC:</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The Arizona audit isn't the only GOP "craziness" that Sykes discusses in his column. The conservative pundit also attacks Republicans for their "bullshit narrative" that Biden is declaring war on meat consumption and slams former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum's recent comments on Native Americans.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Santorum, during a speech for Young America's Foundation, made some clueless comments on U.S. history and told attendees, "We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there was nothing here…. I mean, yes, we have Native Americans, but candidly, there isn't much Native American culture in American culture. It was born of the people who came here pursuing religious liberty to practice their faith."</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In response, Sykes writes, "Maybe Santorum could come to Milwaukee, named after the Algonquin word 'Millioke,' or Waukesha, from the Potawatomi word for 'fox,' here in Wisconsin, originally 'Meskonsing,' to discuss his understanding of the nullity of Native American culture. If he wants, he could also read up on the origins of corn, and peanuts, and cranberries."</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

Siince the program’s founding in 1977, nearly 2,000 aspiring
journalists have graduated from NJC’s 12-week internship program. We
estimate some 900 of these work in media and media-related positions at
organizations such as The New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today,
Wall Street Journal, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, C-SPAN,
Time, Newsweek, The New Yorker, Harper’s Esquire, National Geographic,
Reader’s Digest, Wired, Forbes, AP, UPI, Dow Jones Newswire, Bloomberg
News Service, and hundreds more. In addition, NJC alumni have written
more than 100 books among them, many of which developed from projects at
the NJC.
</font><div class="simplePullQuote right"><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Our hope is to have still greater an impact in the future. </font></p>
</div>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In 2001, NJC became a project of Young America’s Foundation and
celebrated its 30th anniversary in late 2007. <b> The National Journalism
Center hosted its largest class ever–40 interns–in the summer 2008
session.</b></font>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">One reason NJCers do well in the outside world is the rigorous
training they receive while in the program. This combines hands-on
experience at more than three dozen cooperating media outlets where
interns do in-depth reporting on key topics at the direction of their
editors, with classroom-stile training headed by our academic director.
NJC stresses not only the technical skill of journalism but also the
understanding of the issues reported on in today’s media.</font>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">To this end, NJC sponsors a series of seminars and workshops in
writing, research, economics, current events, and the media, all of
which are essential to becoming an informed and responsible reporter.</font>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Interns at the NJC hear numerous speakers from the world of public
policy and the media–many of the latter themselves alumni of the
program.</font>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">As in all other aspects of our training, the focus in these discussions is on the practice of the trade, not academic theory.</font>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Past speakers include economist Dr. Walter Williams, the Wall Street
Journal’s Stephen Moore, syndicated columnist Robert Novak, the
Washington Examiner’s Mark Tapscott, and many other successful
journalists from outlets such as CNN, Fox News, the Daily Caller, and
more.</font>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">If you would like to become a part of this esteemed program, we encourage you to <a href="http://www.yaf.org/students/campus-initiatives/national-journalism-center/contact-yaf/">get in touch!</a></font></p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
