Excellent takedown of Velshi's "WTF are the Dems!!11" rant yesterday

99. This is spot on, BRDS. Thank you.

It is cheap and easy for MSM to continue the "Dems are doing nothing" lies rather than do the actual work of researching what they are doing and, oh yes, reporting on it.

I pointed that out to Velshi on Bluesky. He responded quite defensively, but did respond. It was a short while later that he agreed to communicate with Ariella Elm.

Here's another example: I was listening to Ana Cabreras' show on MSNBC the other day. She was reporting on Trump's threat to send NG to Baltimore and the back and forth between him, Gov. Moore, and the Balty Mayor. She then interviewed the mayor.

Her entire line of questioning was based on Trump's false framing of Baltimore as a "hellhole" of crime. She did say that crime had gone down, but really challenged the mayor on what he's doing to fight crime and why shouldn't he welcome Federal help?

The mayor did a good job but was dealing with a media "when did you stop beating your wife" moment. Never once did Ana point out that crime was higher in "red" cities.

I'm so old, I remember Judy Woodruff on PBS News Hour. First she'd interview a Republican about an issue. Then she'd have a Democrat on to respond to the claims (usually false) that the Republican had made. It was never the other way around.

Do I think Woodruff is a right winger? No. She's an excellent journalist. It's the favoritism toward Republicans that has permeated all levels of media.
