02b U.S. Politics – Progressive

It’s unclear what universe the New York Times is living in, but can we stop playing the sympathy game for people who steal other people’s identity? In the pursuit of ensuring no human is labeled illegal, this illegal alien illegally stole someone’s identity — which, of course, is illegal. And the only victim here is the person whose identity was stolen. If that isn’t an illegal slap in the face of our justice system, nothing is.

The New York Times is really out there claiming that because “thousands of undocumented workers rely on fraudulent Social Security numbers,” somehow that makes them the victim. They even dedicated an article to the illegal who stole the Social Security number of an innocent American.

Earlier this month, The New York Times ran an interview with Wikipedia cofounder Jimmy Wales titled, “The Culture Wars Came for Wikipedia. Jimmy Wales Is Staying the Course.” There, Wales painted Wikipedia as a well-intentioned site trying its best to remain unbiased — and being unfairly targeted by those on the right.

That couldn’t be further from the truth.

No matter how the NYT and Wales try to spin the narrative, reality remains: The culture wars didn’t “come for Wikipedia.” Wikipedia voluntarily threw itself into the fray — and contrary to its claims, it didn’t remain impartial.

It’s telling that even Wales’ co-founder, Larry Sanger, says the website is biased. He’s right: There’s no other way to describe a site that labeled Charlie Kirk, a mainstream conservative, a “far-right conspiracy theorist.”

The White House has once again spoken out against The View for criticizing the Trump administration.

This time, they’re coming for longtime co-host Ana Navarro, who recently chalked up the administration’s controversial response to the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files as “white, rich, powerful, entitled men protecting other white, rich, powerful, entitled men.”

In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson labeled Navarro, who is a registered Republican, a “TDS liberal,” using the abbreviation for “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

“Like all TDS liberals, Ana only cares about the Epstein files because she thinks she can weaponize it against President Trump,” the statement reads. It goes on to claim that Navarro “didn’t care about Epstein during [Joe] Biden’s presidency.”

Someone should “fact check” the promotional language of PolitiFact. They claim: “We’re a nonpartisan, independent newsroom dedicated to fact-checking journalism….The reason we publish is to give citizens the information they need to govern themselves in a democracy.” They claim they improve the quality of the “information ecosystem.”

But nearly every study of their “Truth-O-Meter” since PolitiFact was founded in 2007 has demonstrated a dramatic partisan tilt. From June to October, in the months before the Democrat Party sweep of off-year elections, how tilted was PolitiFact’s “fact-checking newsroom”?

NewsBusters analysts reviewed PolitiFact articles from the last five months of 2025 that evaluated a named politician or public official with a “Truth-O-Meter” ruling, and their tilted version of the “truth” shows that PolitiFact should not be described by anyone as “nonpartisan.”

On Friday’s The 11th Hour on MSNBC, panelists all went left in their choices for MVP of the week with praise going to the man who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent in D.C., the jury that acquitted him, and socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D-New  York).

Host Stephanie Ruhle first went to Betches co-founder Sami Sage who oozed: “The D.C. sandwich guy who was found not guilty of assaulting an ICE officer, and I just think it’s a lovely, you know, non-violent type of resistance.” If someone threw a sandwich at Sage, would she find it “nonviolent”?

After Ruhle responded, “Throwing a sandwich?” Sage added: “Yeah, why not?”
