NPR Touts 'Sequeerity' Squad Protecting Trans Folks from Trumpers

PBS Promotes Pro-Pedophilia 'Pioneer,' Opponents Offer Only 'Vitriol'
As the incoming Trump administration considers defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the PBS News Hour just keeps hitting the accelerator on their overwhelmingly one-sided promotion of transgenderism. On Friday night, PBS anchor William Brangham supportively interviewed transgender Minnesota state Rep. Leigh Finke (D), best known for a bill called the "Take Pride Act,"…
PolitiFact Rates True Claim About Walz's Abortion Record 'False'

PBS: Trump Denouncing Walz On Abortion Is 'Extraordinarily Stupid'
During Tuesday night’s debate with Kamala Harris, Donald Trump called out Tim Walz’s extremely radical and, frankly, diabolical abortion stance as governor of Minnesota, but for PBS’s Christiane Amanpour, the fact that Trump even brought it up made him “very, very extreme,” while her panel labeled it "extraordinarily stupid."
Rep. Waltz Schools CNN When They Attempt To Fact-Check Him, Again

PBS Shows Walz-to-Walz Bias at Minnesota State Fair: ‘Dad In Plaid’
Taxpayer-supported PBS snuck in some old-fashioned Democratic politicking under the guise of a soft Labor Day feature from the Minnesota State Fair, that just happened to have been blessed with a visit from off the campaign trail (yeah, right!) by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s running mate: Anchor John Yang: "The Minnesota State Fair draws more daily visitors than any other state…
Snopes Defends Walz In One Of The Worst Fact-Checks Ever Written
Fact-checks should be, as the name suggests, about checking facts, but a Friday piece from Alex Kasprak at Snopes showed aspiring fact-checkers how not to do their jobs as he defended Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz on the accusation he banned Christians, Jews, and Muslims from teaching in the state.
PolitiFact Rules Vance Was 'False' to Mock Walz's Weird 'Trans Refuge'
PolitiFact took after Sen. J.D. Vance on Tuesday, with a subhead claiming he "misrepresents Minnesota law on kids seeking "gender-affirming care."

The only things certain in life are death, taxes, and the media trying to fact-check Republican claims that Democrats are the real radicals on abortion.

MSNBC And CNN Already Condemn 'Swift Boating' Of Walz
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz had not even been VP Kamala Harris’s running mate for 12 hours before MSNBC’s All In host Chris Hayes accused Republicans of “swift boating” him on Tuesday.

Column: Harris, Walz, and the 'Minnesota Freedom Fund' Scandal
Kamala Harris announced that her running mate will be Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who drew national huzzahs in the last few weeks for underlining the Democrat message that J.D.
