Double Whammy! Hits on Warren and Biden from The Hill

Welcome to the Dual Front runners 'The Hits are On Page'.

Rising with the Hill's Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti jump in with both feet on our two great candidates. Watch at the link below.

Krystal Ball: Dems on track to nominate Warren and lose to Trump; Saagar Enjeti: Ignore media, investigate Bidens

More power to the Democratic nominee, I will vote Blue and fight for either one of them or any other Dem until I'm blue in the face.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

But there are degrees to which journalists/sources are biased, and some, like the ones in the OP repeating right wing talking points about Democratic candidates are among the least honest about it.

and lack of bias in the reporting.

NPR, PBS, WAPO and NYT are still far more reliable than Krystal Ball will ever be.

At a time when much of the country is looking for trump to come clean on that phone call, and it's come out that the Ukraine absolved Hunter Biden months ago, the two video captions are revealing:

Saagar Enjeti: Ignore media, investigate Bidens

Panel: Is Joe Biden's campaign on the rocks?


Not a word about trump at all (curious, I could't stomach watching the videos)? Those two people clearly have an agenda. You're correct, there is a stench out there.

In the second, they say it is not false equivalency in calling for Biden being investigated. They said what Trump did was worse, but Biden is corrupt too.
