Criminalizing Dissent? Networks Blame GOP for Paul Pelosi Attack
On Monday morning, the objective from the liberal broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC was clear: blame conservatives as accessories for attempted murder in the attack of Paul Pelosi by a Berekely-residing nudist.

Shameless CBS Downplays GOP Ballfield Shooting, Kavanaugh Suspect
Given how CBS Mornings and the network morning news shows covered the January 6 hearings versus the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, it wasn’t shocking to see that a Tuesday segment warning about political violence ignored the party ID of those attacked five years ago on this date in Alexandria, Virginia (congressional Republicans), the gunman’s tilt (progressive),…
