On CNN's State of the Union, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) tells host Jake Tapper he continues to believe that Joe Biden would have been capable of serving out a second term, at which time he would have been 86 years old.

Former anchor of NBC's Today and CBS Evening News Katie Couric alleged on her Thursday Next Question podcast that people, presumably conservatives, who complain about media bias are just lamenting the existence of facts. However, Couric’s example was not anything factual but a lamentation that she could not openly support things like abortion during her previous…

The cast of MSNBC’s Morning Joe welcomed The Age of Grievance author Frank Bruni to their Thursday show to discuss his book that argues that the far-left and the far-right share several common traits, including their desire to portray themselves as the main victims in society.

Eli Tan, a San Francisco-based tech reporter for the New York Times, devoted 2,500 words in the paper’s Sunday edition decrying the spread of right-wing conspiracy theories, now that no one subscribes to the Times or local newspapers anymore: “How Misinformation and Partisan ‘New Media’ Changed a California Town.” The story was heavily based on a "militia" incidence that…
