Third Strike: PolitiFact Defends Third Democrat On Transgender Sports
November 1st, 2024 1:20 PM
It is odd that a website that fancies itself as a fact-checking organization would believe that if you repeat a falsehood enough times it eventually becomes true, but that is what PolitiFact is doing with Democrats and transgender sports. In a Thursday article, PolitiFact defended Montana Sen. Jon Tester’s vote that failed to protect the competitive integrity of women’s sports by claiming such…

July 12th, 2024 6:06 AM
Republicans and many independents do not believe in the term “independent fact-checkers” when it comes to federal elections. Fact-checkers predictably defend Democrats from GOP “misinformation” in election season. Democrat extremism on abortion is one topic where the fact “checkers” are the fact manglers. Exhibit A: Republican Tim Sheehy in Montana.

September 21st, 2022 10:35 AM
Aside from so-called “Sunny Hostin” making racist attacks against former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley targeting her name and skin tone, The View also floated names of Democrats to be their nominee in 2024 on Tuesday. One potential ticket paring that got some vocal support from the cast was California Governor Gavin Newsom and Georgia’s pretend-Governor Stacey Abrams. And the former in…
Sticks, Stones, and Worse Amid Threats of Political Violence
June 16th, 2022 11:32 AM
Most people are familiar with the phrase “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” The incendiary rhetoric that has engulfed our political system has demonstrated that especially violent words can cause hurt, even death, to others. The most recent example is a California man who showed up last week at the Maryland home of Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Police…

Tester, who may be tested in the fall as he’s up for re-election in a state Donald Trump carried by 20 points, was fawned over on his farm by Fandos, both in the main story, “Senate Democrat in Deep-Red Montana Isn’t Sweating Trump’s Threats,” and also an “Inside the…
AP Fact Check Hits Trump, Not Tester on False Ronny Jackson Charges
May 1st, 2018 5:34 PM
Adm. Ronny Jackson withdrew his nomination to run the Department of Veterans Affairs even though his critics lacked any evidence to match allegations of drunk driving.

It asserted “Trump’s rhetoric misleading on VA issues.” Trump needed to be corrected when he claimed the Democrats smeared Jackson.…
Press Apparently Has Its Scalp Even As Ronny Jackson Smears Refuted
April 30th, 2018 8:56 AM
The American people don't trust the establishment press, as seen in a Pew Research poll result released Thursday showing that only 8 percent of Americans have "a great deal of confidence" that the media will "act in the best interests of the public." Here is one more example showing why this attitude is entirely justified: The Secret Service, after a thorough investigation in response to…
Washington Post Publishes Jon Tester Campaign Ad Disguised as Article
May 2nd, 2017 7:00 PM
The good news for Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) is that he doesn't have to hire a professional to write his 2018 re-election ad copy. That service was already provided for him in the May 2 Washington Post Style section with a campaign ad disguised as an article written by Ben Terris. The theme of the campaign ad seems to be "salt of the earth" so let us now join it in mid gush:
Chris Matthews: Montana's Sen. Tester Just 'Regular Guy,' Not Liberal
April 18th, 2012 6:35 PM
Apparently MSNBC's Chris Matthews judges the political ideology of elected officials by inconsequential cosmetic matters such as their style of clothing or haircut.

Jon Tester (D-Montana) as, "another guy who's got a crew cut, looks like a regular guy... [who] works on…

February 3rd, 2012 5:09 PM
In his The Plum Line op-ed on page A19 today, the Washington Post's Greg Sargent saw the presence of "relatively conservative Democrats Mark Begich (Alaska) and Jon Tester (Mont.)" on a letter by Senate Democrats blasting the Komen Foundation for withdrawing grants to Planned Parenthood as "testament to how broad the opposition to this decision has become."

AP's Shameless Headline As Dem Senators' Opposition Prevents DREAM Act
December 19th, 2010 8:49 AM
If you look at the description of yesterday afternoon's U.S. Senate Roll Call Vote Number 278 ("A bill to amend title 28, United States Code, to clarify and improve certain provisions relating to the removal of litigation against Federal officers or agencies to Federal courts, and for other purposes."), you'd never know it had anything to do with illegal immigration.
But it did. It was a…
