PBS Omits James Biden Testimony, Obsesses Over New Russiagate Angle

On Wednesday, President Biden's brother James testified in the House impeachment inquiry. The PBS NewsHour aired an eight-minute segment on the Biden impeachment that never mentioned James Biden once. Instead, they obsessed over a new Russian-interference angle, as if they forgot the perennial falsehood of the "collusion" conspiracy theories?

Daily Show Labels It 'Unmoderate' To Keep Boys Off Girls' Sports Teams

If Donald Trump is the threat to democracy that the late night comedy shows claim he is, you would think that The Daily Show’s Desi Lydic would put policy differences aside and support Nikki Haley, but you would be wrong. On the Thursday edition of the Comedy Central program, Lydic argued that, on some issues, Haley is worse than Trump and has some rather “unmoderate” positions on…

Do Americans Trust Republicans OR Democrats?

“How small, of all that human hearts endure / That part which laws or kings can cause or cure.” Oliver Goldsmith’s lines — written 260 years ago, with help from his friend Samuel Johnson — are worth remembering in an election year.

Column: Why Can't the Networks Investigate James Biden?

Nobody in the pro-Biden media want a deep dive into the Biden family behind the scenes. When Politico has a reporter who does it, you can expect that work to be ignored routinely. It was certainly true for the president's brother, James Biden.

Venezuela HALTS Deportation Flights From The US, Nets SILENT

The nation reels over images of Venezuelan migrants beating up on New York cops in Times Square, and is disgusted to discover that the dangerous transnational criminal gang known as Tren de Aragua has established beachheads in New York, Miami and Chicago.

You Know That the Nets’ Ongoing IVF Hysteria Isn't About IVF, Right?

The networks are doing their level best to continue to fuel the ongoing panic over in-vitro fertilization treatments (IVF) in the wake of Alabama’s Supreme Court opinion that granted embryos rights equal to those of a child in utero.
