One thing that's bugged me about the coverage lately

is the number of times I've seen that lie told by tfg about Obama taking classified info. The first time I heard it, it was not corrected. I've seen it covered several times in the past few days, and I'd say it's corrected only 60% of the time or so. Often, it's just stated.

That's irresponsible journalism. Do they think it's so obviously not true that they don't have to correct it? Still think it's irresponsible.

The mainstream media is ranting 24/7 about Trump, completely ignoring Biden’s great record.


For all my fellow Buckeyes need to read this about Mike DeWine.

This is a great source I just found. Mike DeWine was right in on the First energy scandal. Deeply involved, tried to cover it up.

and disturbing. Don't they have any footage to show other than him at his stupid rallies with staged crowds cheering? It's bizarre to show that when they're talking about his legal troubles.

All they show is DeWine and his wife running to fairs, anything that shows him. In a good light.

The Corporate media is a joke, including the locals who seem to be in bed with the local corrupt thieves. This is why I used your post to bring it to attention. We have great investigative reporters but they are mostly silenced..

I apologize for using your post to put this out, but after learning how loose mouthed Trump has been with classified information I fear he has compromised our country for decades. And, if he manages to get back in with the wide spread corruption of local State Republicans we do not stand a chance of keeping Democracy.

Thank you.

And it is in secured locations around DC because that is where Obama stayed. In other words, Obama did it the right way.

Some seem to assume that their viewers automatically see the falsehood on its face and feel there is no need to tell them otherwise. That is their mistake.

It's also
highly annoying to me when they talk about Biden and inflation without mentioning the fact that inflation is global and caused by the pandemic.
