‘The Politician’ Battles ‘Climate Catastrophe’ This Election Year

Even though this is 2020, we apparently need to talk more about elections. At least, that’s what The Politician would have us believe. We’re still more than four months away from November, but the Netflix series is determined to remind us of everything we hate about election season. Namely, it’s once again filled with lies, smug liberals, and countless scandals.

Chuck Todd Prods Adam Schiff to Restart Impeachment with Bolton Book

ABC Mocks Trump’s Tulsa Rally for ‘Noticeably Empty Seats’

After the liberal media spent weeks decrying President Trump’s Saturday campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma as a possible “super spreader” of coronavirus and some kind of racist get together, since it was originally scheduled for Juneteenth, ABC’s Good Morning America kicked off Sunday’s newscast by mocking how there were “noticeably empty seats in the arena that he [President Trump]…

NYT Spins: Trump's Tulsa Rally ‘Terrible Idea,' Black Protests Awesome

The New York Times on Saturday hypocritically hectored Trump supporters before their rally Saturday night in Tulsa. Reporter Matt Flegenheimer’s “news analysis” in Saturday’s edition used the gathering as an unflattering metaphor for the administration’s high-risk strategy in general: “‘What Do You Have To Lose?’ Best Read The Fine Print.”

Unhinged CNN Spends 2 Hours Mocking Rally, Questioning Trump’s Health

After warning for a week about the health risk of attending the rally, Blitzer opened the show at 8 PM this way: “But in a surprising…

Pre-Rally Brian Stelter: Trump 'Lied' About Tiny, Boring Biden Event

During live CNN coverage before Trump's Saturday night rally, CNN's Brian Stelter oddly said the president "lied" on Twitter about the "small crowd" at a Biden event...because almost no one was there.
