KNIGHT: Paper-thin cover for liberal agenda
Although I get a lot of news online, I love to read real newspapers. You can linger forever on a particular page without getting eye strain, or you can physically flip it with gusto to show your contempt for what some editor thought should be holding your interest. Published February 10, 2012
KNIGHT: With many claiming his mantle, it’s important to get Reagan right
Ronald Reagan, who would have turned 101 on Feb. 6, no doubt would have been amused by the number and ideological diversity of people claiming some part of the Reagan mantle. Published February 3, 2012
KNIGHT: Keeping marriage real
Maryland's Civil Marriage Protection Act is profoundly misnamed. In fact, it should more accurately be called the Attack on Religious Freedom Enabling Act. Published February 1, 2012
KNIGHT: Welfare wars: Anatomy of a smear
When I was a copy editor at the Los Angeles Times, a young reporter submitted an article about a single mother having trouble obtaining government checks. Published January 27, 2012
KNIGHT: Many to benefit from president’s ruling, but not us

KNIGHT: Obama’s inoperative Constitution
Back in 1973, when the Nixon administration was under fire for Watergate, Press Secretary Ron Ziegler uttered an unforgettable response when caught in a lie during a news conference: "This is the operative statement. The others are inoperative." Published January 6, 2012
