What Fraud Scandals? Google News Goes to Bat for Democrats as Midterms Approach
Google News completely omitted coverage of multiple major fraud scandals involving Democrats from its top morning stories in April.
The excluded stories included a Department of Justice indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center and ethics violations by a Florida congresswoman.
Right-leaning media outlets were heavily sidelined, making up less than three percent of the total analyzed stories on the platform.
Left-leaning outlets dominated the feed at nearly seventy percent, which critics argue is a deliberate effort to shield Democrats before the midterm elections.
'None of the Above' Rated Best Late-Night Comedian on TV
A national survey revealed that thirty-eight percent of respondents chose none of the above as the best late-night comedian on television.
The poll numbers for individual late-night hosts like Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert sat much lower in a virtual tie around eleven to thirteen percent.
Viewership and profitability for late-night talk shows have steadily declined over the last decade with major drops in key demographics.
The steep decline is attributed to hosts moving away from traditional comedy to focus on highly polarized political commentary.
Scarborough Rages Over Trump's 'Marie Antoinette' Ballroom: Remember Her Fate?
Joe Scarborough repeatedly attacked plans for a new White House ballroom by labeling it a billion dollar Marie Antoinette ballroom during his show.
The host contrasted the cost of the project with the financial struggles of everyday Americans dealing with high grocery, gas, and rent prices.
Using the Marie Antoinette comparison invokes a historical parallel to the bloody climax of the French Revolution.
Scarborough uses inflammatory rhetoric while routinely lecturing conservatives about dangerous speech.
Sunny Hostin Calls for Open, Andor-Style 'Rebellion' to Fight Trump, GOP
During an episode of the Behind the Table podcast, The View co-host Sunny Hostin called for the formation of a rebellion and a true resistance to fight Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
Hostin expressed frustration with mainstream Democrats, stating that they are bringing knives to gunfights and failing to match the political energy of their opponents.
The call for a rebellion was inspired by a discussion with executive producer Brian Teta about the Disney sci-fi series Andor, which depicts violent efforts to overthrow an empire.
Hostin also claimed that voting rights are under attack in the American South, comparing recent Supreme Court decisions on partisan gerrymandering to a new Jim Crow era.
