NYT: FBI Abused Power on Clinton, But Pushes Trump as ‘Russian Agent'

EYE ROLL: NYT Lets Smug Dems Claim ‘Party of Science’ Mantle
Reporter Maggie Astor wrote the liberal-boasting New York Times lead National section story: “Democrats In the House Give Science New Respect.” But are Democrats really the party of science they and Astor assume?They fear safe, clean nuclear power, and spread paranoia about genetically modified “Frankenfood,” or promote scaremongering over vaccinations.

Business
