    I know Kudlow had a cocaine problem and was part of the Trump administration. When was the last time he was at the White house?

    Who's he calling stupid ideological zealots for drinking plant-based beer? He says he intends to make fun of these kinds of people? Hahahaha

    Does he think beer comes from Cows or Buffalo?

    "You can throw back a plant-based beer with your grilled Brussels sprouts and wave your American flag. Call it July 4th Green. Now, I'm making fun of this because I intend to make fun of it. This kind of thing is stupid. It comes from a bunch of ideological zealots who don't care one whit about America's well-being. Not one whit."

    You plant based beer drinkers don't care about America's well being! Not one whit!

    “So Called” Journalism: NBC Calls the Two Respected IRS Veterans “So Called Whistleblowers”

    https://jonathanturley.org/2023/07/...pected-irs-veterans-so-called-whistleblowers/

    excerpt:

    Now, when two classic and credible whistleblowers come forward at great personal and professional risk, the media has to tag them with a “so called” pejorative reference.

    What is left is so-called journalism where readers are given shaded and shaped accounts to advance a particular political narrative. It has the hallmarks of a new type of state media, where journalists follow an agenda not by coercion but consent.

    It's funny..... how Turley thinks the massive, coordinated election lies told by his media doesn't produce some sort of credibility issue for himself and his media.....

    @Os Trigonum certainly doesn't see a credibility issue.

    Mounting Evidence Doesn’t Matter, Corporate Media Will Never Cover The Biden Corruption Scandal
    The corporate press is demonstrating once again that its primary task is to carry water for the Biden administration.

    https://thefederalist.com/2023/07/25/mounting-evidence-doesnt-matter-corporate-media-will-never-cover-the-biden-corruption-scandal/

    excerpt:

    As evidence mounts that President Joe Biden took millions in bribe money from Ukrainian oligarchs when he was vice president as part of an elaborate influence-peddling scheme headed up by his son, Hunter Biden, let’s check in on how the corporate press is handling what looks like the biggest political scandal in American history.

    Nothing to see here, apparently. The New York Times has carried no coverage of the shocking allegations contained in an unclassified FBI document Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released last week. The document, called an FD-1023, details the reporting of a highly credible FBI informant who says the top executive of Ukrainian oil and gas firm Burisma told him he paid Joe and Hunter Biden $5 million each to protect the company from a corruption investigation (that’s in addition to the millions it paid Hunter to sit on its board).

    Instead, the “paper of record” ran an article attacking a group called Empower Oversight for helping a pair of IRS whistleblowers at the heart of the Hunter Biden tax fraud investigation who say the FBI and Justice Department hid the informant’s reporting from them, as well as relevant material on Hunter’s laptop. The Times wasn’t interested in the substance of what these whistleblowers had to say, but rather focused on the fact that Empower Oversight helped them follow the proper procedures and whistleblower statutes for bringing their claims to Congress.

    Over at The Washington Post, there was likewise zero coverage of the FBI informant’s reporting, even after portions of it were corroborated this week as reported by Margot Cleveland in these pages. Nor was there any mention of Tuesday’s news that Hunter’s former business partner and fellow Burisma board member, Devon Archer, will testify before Congress that Hunter would regularly call his father and put him on speakerphone with overseas business associates when Joe Biden was vice president.

    None of that seems to interest the editors at the Post. The only mention of any of this comes from media columnist Philip Bump, who devoted an entire column Monday to a tortured explanation of why we should ignore it all. Just because a trusted FBI informant is credible, writes Bump, doesn’t mean that what the informant was told is true: “I trust my wife, but if she tells me that our 6-year-old claims to have seen a dragon on the roof, I don’t suddenly believe that there was a dragon on the roof.”

    Apparently FOX doesn't even have any evidence on Joe Biden taking bribes.

    But they keep repeating that there's evidence.

    Accusations aren't evidence, but in the MAGA mind, that doesn't matter.
