Name That Party, NY Times: Charges for GOPer Collins v. Democrat Brown

August 9th, 2018 4:03 PM
Thursday’s New York Times showed itself all too eager to use new charges against Republican Rep. Chris Collins of New York to help Democrats.

GOP Rep's Arrest Gets 7x the Coverage of Entire Scandal for Dem

May 12th, 2017 12:01 AM

In 2004, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry infamously stated, in connection with an Iraq War spending resolution, that "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it."
