Zero Lies! So Far in 2026, PolitiFact Implies the Democrats NEVER Mangle a Fact

PolitiFact claims zero Democratic lies in 2026  In the first quarter, all 11 Democratic statements checked were rated True, Mostly True, or Half True, with zero rated Mostly False or worse.

Heavy bias against Republicans  PolitiFact rated 32 Republican statements, with 22 (69%) called Mostly False, False, or Pants on Fire, nearly a 3-to-1 disparity in checks and a complete shutout for Democrats on negative ratings.

Fact-checking double standard exposed  While Democrats like Elizabeth Warren get gentle treatment (and even “True” ratings on questionable claims), PolitiFact implies Democrats never mangle facts, revealing clear partisan skew in their “Truth-O-Meter.”

 

'Fair Point!' CNN Cheers Claim That Challenging Birthright Citizenship Is ‘Racist’

CNN cheers the “racist” smear: On CNN This Morning, host Erica Hill quickly agreed (“Fair point!”) when guest Shan Wu claimed that challenging birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment is racist, with zero pushback or constitutional discussion.

Prioritizing politics over the Constitution: The segment dismissed John Eastman’s argument (that “subject to the jurisdiction” excludes illegal immigrants and temporary visitors) as unsound, while focusing only on alarmist outcomes like “millions of babies” affected , ignoring the original meaning and history of the 14th Amendment.

“Racist” label shuts down debate: CNN let Wu argue that even a valid legal challenge can still be racist, revealing the network’s real goal: protecting automatic citizenship for children of illegal immigrants rather than honestly debating the law.

 

Don Lemon Thinks He Could Be President, But Racism Is Holding Him Back

Don Lemon believes he could be President and claims he would run the country “a lot better” than Donald Trump.

Lemon blames racism for holding him back  saying “I’m not a white man and the rules are different for me,” while comparing himself to women and minorities who face tougher standards.

Lemon’s massive ego on display  He boasted he could fix news organizations “in no time flat” and suggested his path to the White House is blocked mainly by race rather than his own record or appeal.

 

Google News Skips Indicted Dem’s Ethics Trial, Spotlights NYT Spelling Bee Instead

Google News buried a major Democrat scandal: It completely ignored Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick’s (D-FL) House Ethics trial, where she was found guilty on 25 ethics charges for allegedly stealing millions in FEMA relief funds.

Google prioritized NYT games over real news: While skipping the Cherfilus-McCormick story for four straight days (80 missed headline opportunities), Google News prominently featured “NYT Spelling Bee Hints” to drive traffic and ad revenue to The New York Times.

Clear bias in action: Google News promoted multiple stories about “No Kings” protests while hiding a historic corruption case involving a Democratic congresswoman, the largest taxpayer theft by a House member in over 150 years.
