Garbage Story: The Press Attack On Ted Cruz For Flying To Cancun

It sure looks like House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is running out of excuses as to why his impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden has stalled. This time, Comer wants you to believe that it's because more evidence comes in daily. It's been 15 months, and they haven't found evidence against the President, but sure, Comer, go with that.

. For twenty glorious years, Crooks and Liars has been the premier destination for unvarnished liberal commentary, unrelenting criticism of the far right, and incredibly on-point mockery of conservative absurdities. From dismantling Fox News propaganda to elevating underreported stories the mainstream media ignores, this fiercely independent site has provided an invaluable voice of reason in an often unreasonable political landscape.

The previously unreported warrants gave prosecutors access to new Chesebro emails and his private direct messages on Twitter.

So right-wing media continues the deliberate degradation of information, and then pulls it back when threatened with legal action. OAN is not really all that different from Fox, where Jesse Watters gleefully spreads manure on the air. Via the Daily Beast: Far-right cable news network One America News apologized to Donald Trump’s former lawyer and “fixer” Michael Cohen Monday after retracting a report that suggested he—rather than Trump himself—had been the one who carried out an affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels.
