Stolen Validity – AXIOS

Give him credit, at least he did not say BREAKING.

As we covered earlier today, Alex Thompson came out with a “hey, you guys, look what I found out” kind of report on the old news that—get this—Graham Platner is not a good dude!

We have to appreciate how Thompson gives a comprehensive dose of coverage of Platner’s problems…now that the polls show him as a liability and the Democrats want him to step down.

Low Octane gas Lighting – THE DAILY BEAST

You guys really thought you had him with this one, didn’t you???

You guys really thought you had him with this one, didn’t you???

The Beast had a “scathing” report on U.S. Republican Rep. Brandon Gill (TX-26). At issue was Gill posting an image of himself with his kids in a promotional post, and the outlet felt that this was a harsh exclusion of his Indian American wife.

The site claimed the GOPer was getting “blasted”, which means the site was trying to gin up outrage over a non-story. Gill himself blasted the claim out of the water, noting that he had made three posts on the same topic that day, with his wife displayed beside him.

Yeah, but she was not seen in one of them, which means… uh, which means… sorry, we have nothing.

All 3 of these posts went up on the same day.But the contemptible liars at the Daily Beast wrote this disgusting headline anyways.No wonder they can’t afford to keep their editorial team.You........
