CNN Fails To Press Radical NY DA On His Worst Soft-on-Crime Plans

As the liberal media devoted many hours to commemorating the 1/6 riot, it was considered horrible to "minimize" it, but it's apparently never objectionable to exaggerate it beyond belief -- an event where five died doesn't match the terrorist murder of 3,000 on 9/11.

It’s a new year and 2022 may bring some reality to the lives of journalists, even if they are dragged kicking and screaming.

CNN’s 1/6 Special: Fox News ‘Relishing the Idea’ of a Civil War
For years now, the liberal media have been telling us the county is in a “cold civil war” or a “neo-civil war” because people and policies they don’t like have popularity.
