Even this opinion piece authored by someone working for the far left wing MSNBC TV outlet sees the rank hypocrisy of Democrat party members. Quote: "As the jury in the trial of former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin prepared to deliberate after closing arguments Tuesday, Chauvin's attorneys petitioned the judge to declare a mistrial on extraordinary grounds: the comments of a Democratic member of Congress, Rep. Maxine Waters of California. The request was swiftly denied, but Judge Peter Cahill did not so casually dismiss its compelling logic. "I'll give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned," Cahill said. Waters had told a crowd of demonstrators gathered in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota: "We're looking for a guilty verdict. And we're looking to see if all of this [inaudible] that took place and has been taking place after they saw what happened to George Floyd. "And we've got to get more active," Waters unadvisedly continued. "[We've] got to get more confrontational. ... We've got to make sure that they know we mean business." As we now know, it took the jury less than 12 hours to find Chauvin guilty of the murder of George Floyd. But these inflammatory comments were no small matter. Their source was not just a member of Congress but the House Financial Services Committee chair, a 30-year veteran of the chamber. They occurred before the jury had been sequestered, meaning jurors might have been aware of and influenced by these remarks. They were delivered before an agitated crowd gathering in defiance of an active curfew. The comments were made at the scene of the civil unrest that followed the death of Daunte Wright, 20, who was fatally shot by an officer during a traffic stop when the arresting officer, she says, mistook her firearm for a Taser. Of the 136 people arrested over the weekend, 52 were booked on charges related to rioting. So the potential for violence was not purely theoretical. Before Cahill's remarks, Waters' comments had not been subject to a tremendous amount of scrutiny in the media — at least, not on their merits. When they were critically evaluated, it was primarily within the context of the reaction among her political opponents — most notably, that of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga."     Maxine Waters' Chauvin trial comments expose Democrats' hypocrisy (msnbc.com)

They earned it all by themselves. No one trusts them to ever tell the truth about anything. Quote: "CNN’s ratings continue to plummet as they scramble to find things to talk about now that Donald Trump is out of office. They’ve tried to make celebrities on the Right like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham public enemy number one, but they just don’t bring in the ratings Trump did. And there is no denying the results of this recent poll, and it has CNN very nervous. During Trump’s time in the White House, CNN became nothing more than a mouthpiece for the extreme Left. No longer did the network report on the news, and if they did report on any news, they twisted it to fit their narrative. CNN continues to try and claim they are an unbiased network and only report facts, but people know better, and in the last few weeks, evidence has surfaced showing they really do not report the news. A video released by Project Veritas shows Charles Chester, CNN’s technical director, admitting that the network engaged in “propaganda” for the sole purpose of removing Trump from office."    There is no denying the results of this recent poll and it has CNN very nervous - Political Animal News

I am convinced that this item tells the truth and nothing but the truth about Big Tech and their dangerously un-Amreican left wing practices. Quote: "BIG TECH IS VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION. We have long accepted the news media’s ability to influence public opinion by strategically deciding what could go on the airwaves and the cables. The Federal Communications Commission strictly regulated broadcast news to ensure some semblance of fairness and balance.  That was because they used the public airwaves. At a time when the major broadcast networks – and the local affiliates – expressed opinion by means of television editorials, they were required to provide rebuttal time for opposing viewpoints.  Although print media were not subject to fairness and balance, it was an ethical standard that kept news on the front page and opinion on the editorial page – which generally had columnists and writers, guest columnists and letters-to-the-editor expressing varying viewpoints. CABLE TELEVISION CHANGED ALL THAT.  AS A SUBSCRIBER SERVICE, THEY DID NOT HAVE TO BE FAIR AND BALANCED.  THEY DID NOT HAVE TO PRESENT VARYING VIEWPOINTS.  CONSEQUENTLY, OPINION DROVE OUT NEWS.  WHILE THE MAJOR CABLE CHANNELS ANACHRONISTICALLY REFER TO THEMSELVES AS “NEWS SERVICES,” THEY ARE NOT.  NETWORKS SUCH AS MSNBC AND CNN HAVE BECOME SO ONE-SIDED THAT THEY HAVE EVOLVED INTO 24/7 PROPAGANDA VEHICLES FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY – WITH EMPHASIS ON THE RADICAL LEFT. 

          (The sound you hear is the radical left jumping up and down because I did not mention FOX News.  There is a reason for that.  By any objective analysis, FOX provides a broader news coverage and  opportunities for both sides of an issue. It provides truly informative debates during the news programs.  Yes, they have Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson as editorialists during the evening hours. But the news programs report in a more balanced manner than their daytime competitors.) Now we have a new phenomenon sired by the Internet – social media.  The various social media platforms offer something that has never been possible in all human history – world-wide communication on an individual or group basis.  It was the fulfillment of our First Amendment beyond anything imaginable by our nation’s Founders. BUT THEN THE BIG TECH SOCIAL MEDIA OLIGARCHS MOVED IN ON THE TECHNOLOGY. Claiming that as a private business, they could control content – not just truly dangerous talk – but anything that did not comply with their narrow partisan and philosophic political views. 

         The most dynamic communication form in human history is being constricted to a propaganda-only outlet.  Big Tech decided that they would determine truth even over issues where there is diversity of opinion.  In other words, they decided that THEIR opinion is truth. Using a one-sided left-wing matrix, they started banning predominantly – almost exclusively – conservative and Republican speech.  Big Tech started silencing and kicking off organizations and political figures critical to a robust debate in a free Republic. That is not much different than how China controls the public by controlling the message. Those who own and control the modern social platforms always fall back on the fact that they are private corporations and can do as they please.  Not so.  Corporations must also comply with the Constitution.  They cannot deny constitutional rights."    Big Tech Is Violating The Constitution - The Punching Bag Post    

Despite the mainstream media hyper partisan reporting on Biden's great job as president much of the public is not buying their propaganda. Quote: "President Joe Biden received a 52% approval rating from Americans as he nears the end of his first 100 days in office, compared with 42% who disapprove, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll. Overall, 34% of respondents said they strongly approved of his performance while 35% said they strongly disapproved, according to the poll.

Americans were most approving of his response to the pandemic with 64% of adults, including 33% of Republicans, giving him positive marks. Approval for his handling of the economy was 52%, but 53% said they disapproved of how he’s tackled immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border. Respondents said by a two-to-one margin that Biden should be willing make “major changes” to his proposals to win Republican support, rather than proceed without them."    Biden Approval at 52% With High Marks for Covid Response: Poll | Newsmax.com
