CNBC Rates 'Best States to Live': Pro-Abortion, Anti-Gun, 'Inclusive'
CNBC sounds like a business channel, but it’s really just another liberal channel. When it thinks about the best “states for business,” they’re matching that with what they call “quality of life.” Some measures – health care, crime – make nonpartisan sense, but CNBC adds grades for “inclusiveness,” “protections” against discrimination, anti-gun "reforms," and naturally, “reproductive rights…

Jake Tapper Lets Rosie Say Trump's a Fascist Criminal About to Expire
CNN host Jake Tapper took a loud stand that he wouldn’t allow any 2020 election deniers on his programs. But apparently, 2024 election deniers are totally cool.

Worse yet, Tapper egged her on as she insisted Trump is dramatic cognitive decline.
