MSNBC’s Joy Reid used the Friday edition of the The ReidOut to declare that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is “a curmudgeonly anti-black and anti-LGBTQ person” while BlackPac Executive Direction Adrianne Shropshire alleged DeSantis and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin seek to “demoralize” black people.

The Friday edition of MSNBC Reports spread some fake news and tried to portray Florida in 2023 as if it was 1947 in an attempt to get Major League Baseball to denounce Gov. Ron DeSantis.

On Wednesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis gave a speech where he separated fact from fiction on his education policies and MSNBC’s Alex Wagner responded with some of the very fake news he meant to debunk. For added effect, she also labeled his policies “fascist.”

"Renowned” PBS filmmaker Ken Burns appeared on Tuesday’s CNN This Morning to rain fire on Gov. Ron DeSantis over a bill in the Florida legislature to mandate some boundaries on how taxpayer-funded universities teach American history. In the fevered brain of this PBS star, DeSantis is somehow comparable to both the Nazis and the Soviets. CNN loved this, and didn’t blink at this blatant…

Cuz pulling woke stunts has worked out so well for MLB in the past.

Leftists like the ones at National Public Radio think it's super-kooky to compare Barack Obama or Joe Biden to communists, but apparently it's just "news" to let leftists compare Ron DeSantis to Fidel Castro. On Thursday's bizarrely named All Things Considered, there was another completely one-sided story ripping DeSantis.

The folks at The New York Times Book Review would like you to believe they are the nation's premier evaluators of books, fiction and nonfiction. But the evidence shows the Times evaluates political books with a reliably partisan rancor or rapture, depending on which party it is. That explains their hammering the new Ron DeSantis book as a dull episode of "Culture War Mad Libs…

The top story in Saturday's Washington Post was headlined "Fraught fight over AP's new course: Politics forced changes to the African American studies plan, critics say." As usual, the "critics" of the new Advanced Placement curriculum for high schools are leftists. 

For Black History Month, CBS Saturday Morning co-host Michelle Miller interviewed children’s book illustrator Vashti Harrison for a segment that was perfectly normal until the Miller’s addendum at the end, where she suggested some of Harrison’s work might be banned in Florida for simply having black characters.

Walkouts are just about as effective as petitions.

Coming out of one of her Wednesday commercial breaks, MSNBC’s Joy Reid managed to spread three bits of misinformation on the state of education in Florida in less than one minute.
