Probably could have found a better source:

He's a gay son of immigrants. He must be a racist.

And he's also covered all of the shit going on in Portland for over a year from the old riots, to the CHAZ, to the current insanity. He may be right wing but he knows Portland.

Jon Stewart on Crossfire

Just re-watched this again today and thought that some of you might enjoy it. I'm a huge fan of Jon Stewart's Comedy. This is 15 years old now. It's amazing how much worse things have gotten since then.

It's about damn time - - If Democrats are going to cancel our history for any and all racial transgressions, then they need to look in the mirror!

Know your damn history!

Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas introduced a resolution on Thursday to ban the Democratic Party or any other political party that supported slavery: https://www.westernjournal.com/gop-r...ocratic-party/

Exactly, and very good of Louie Gohmert to do this. Shine on a light on the Democrat Party's racist past.

LOL. I don't know where you guys find these news sources. For a group of people who never stop crying about the Media being biased against them, you all seem to go out of your way to find the most biased media possible (in favor of your view points, of course) that you can possibly consume.

The front page article in the 'news source' linked at the time I check appears to be a giant headline reveling in the fact that Fauci threw out the first pitch at a baseball game poorly. That's some hard hitting news, right there.

Why wouldn’t the MSM cover this actual, real story? Oh, wait, I know.

Speaking for myself, it’s not that the media is biased against me. It’s that the media is biased, period. That is wrong. Freedom of the press comes with the burden of being thorough and fair. If that isn’t happening, we have compromised the first amendment.

What is the "our history" in the statement? And most of the statues the Democrats want to remove in the capital are of Democrats.

It is a little bit ironic for someone to yell "Know your damn history!" while ignoring 160 years of shifting policies of each party. I don't think any of the current Democrat leaders are really all that proud that Strom Thurmond once was a member of the Democratic party.

But I am happy that this congressman in middle of a pandemic, record high unemployment, and a recession is concentrating his energy on the real issues that impact Americans, owning the libs.

So you gravitate toward even more biased and less credible reporting that confirms your bias? That's the part I don't get - I completely agree with you that the media should strive for objectivity at all times. They will never be completely free of bias though (nothing is).

Which 'actual, real story' should the MSM be covering? The one about Dr. Fauci's fastball?

Oh, you are probably talking about the Louie Gohmert story. I can take a stab at that one. Every day hundreds of potentially newsworthy things happen. Louie Gohmert is a Representative of a rural district in East Texas who has a rich history of making ridiculous statements and introducing ridiculous legislature that is doomed to fail. He also more than dabbles in conspiracy theories. The only people who think this is news are people who are obsessed with 'sticking it to the libs'.

Maybe you should watch the eulogy of Senator Robert Byrd - all the current Democrats had high praise for this Democrat Senate Majority Leader - who was once an Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan. Yea, so don't pretend that racism within the highest reaches of the Democrat Party was all that long ago. In fact, the racism of the party has shifted from blacks to whites in the last few years.
