Jon Ossoff 'Socialist'? PolitiFact Rips Perdue as 'PANTS ON FIRE'

November 24th, 2020 7:02 AM

Just before the election, PolitiFact slapped President Trump with a “False” for saying “Socialism is the mainstream of the Biden campaign.” This was fascinating, since PolitiFact allows Trump haters everywhere to call Trump a “fascist” or a “dictator” and that’s apparently considered factual. This happened again to Sen. David Perdue when he claimed his runoff opponent Jon Ossoff is a “…

November 20th, 2020 8:04 PM

Outside of almost every single on-air CNN personality, is there anyone more ethically-plagued and partisan than MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid? Whether it’s her claims of having been hacked or recent (and lazy) lies about Antifa or Republicans as murderers, she has quite the resume.

CBS Cranky Over Trump Not Conceding, Cheers Abrams for Same Thing

November 10th, 2020 12:34 PM

How do you define voter suppression? If you’re CBS, it seems to be as simple as Democrats losing. Stacey Abrams is a partisan, liberal Democrat who unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2018 and (also unsuccessfully) lobbied to be Joe Biden’s vice presidential nominee in 2020. But on Tuesday's CBS This Morning she was treated as a hero who simply wants more people to vote.

Mitchell to Stacey Abrams: Why Aren’t You A ‘Darling of the Media?'

March 28th, 2019 11:06 AM

In a softball interview with failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams on Wednesday, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell laughably fretted that the potential 2020 presidential contender wasn’t a “darling of the media” like Beto O’Rourke and the other Democratic “white men” who had already announced.
