And then there's schmear-gate:

Will New York’s cream cheese shortage force bagel joints to go easy on the schmear? An investigation

We got out a ruler and visited New York City bagel establishments to see whether they are overdoing the amount of cream cheese on each bagel

www.theguardian.com

FYI: The local bagel emporium I visit, Chompies (an almost New York-style deli in the Phoenix area) hasn't said anything about not being able to supply cream cheese.

At least not yet.

Meanwhile, yet another voice of credibility has departed Faux News:

Fox News Anchor Chris Wallace To Leave Network For CNN After 18 Years

The veteran news anchor, who joined Fox News Channel in 2003, said he wants to "try something new" and "go beyond politics."

Meantime, Fox News is silent about what three of its key hosts did during the January 6th insurrection:

Fox stays silent about new texts that expose Hannity and Ingraham's Jan. 6 hypocrisy

A version of this article first appeared in the "Reliable Sources" newsletter.

www.cnn.com

Is it any wonder why Chris Wallace (and Shepard Smith and others before him) fled Fox?

 

[Richard Hawkins]

Oh yes Fox news or Klu Klux Klan tv

 

[Gene Steinberg]

And Republicans complain about alleged voter fraud in the U.S. But the facts show there is very little voter fraud, and most of it is done by Republicans.

Check the following:

3 residents of The Villages arrested for casting multiple votes in 2020 election

Three residents of The Villages have recently been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into voter fraud, court records show.

I don't know why you would expect anything other than those being the facts Gene.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

The complaints in the U.S. about rampant voter fraud were in response to a sore loser being the only President or candidate in this country's history to refuse to concede. They are placating an emotional infant.

 

[Richard Hawkins]

Of course but why does that suprise anyone? The Republican party has become the Trump party because personal power is more important than truth.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

And this little article more or less confirms that Chris Wallace was only too happy to flee Fox News for CNN+:

Chris Wallace Ecstatic About Never Riding Elevator with Tucker Carlson Again

Wallace revealed that for years he “dreaded” stepping into an elevator at Fox for fear of an unwanted encounter with the execrable news host.

And here's a reality check about the fake war on Christmas that never existed:

 

[Gene Steinberg]

And this article clears up the key myths about antifa, which barely exists in the real world, but is used as a dodge by right-wingers to hide the lies and violence in which they really engage. Such as January 6:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/five-myths/five-myths-about-antifa/2020/09/11/527071ac-f37b-11ea-bc45-e5d48ab44b9f_story.html

 

[henris42]

Thats rubbish, at least in Europe. Antifa is very real, and its just as bad as the nazis.

This year's independence day was rather quiet, but previously few antifa'ns were convicted assouting some skinheads.

I think all of those extremist are just plain idiots.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Here there are scattered groups of that sort. But antifa is mostly, as I said, used as an excuse to divert the blame from the real causes of mischief. "It wasn't me, it was the one-armed man."

 

[henris42]

Here, they rally these "Antirasistic" demos, which are simply designed to generate fights with the far-right groups. There is nothing noble in that. They want to get the press.

 

[henris42]

Antifa also makes huge effort promoting themselves as non-violent. That has absolutely nothing to do with the reality or truth.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Again I'm referring to the claims about antifa in the U.S.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Quoted without comment.

The meaning is obvious:

How would you react if Biden was secretly recorded asking a state official to "find 11,780 votes" for him?

Answer (1 of 54): Good question! What you’re wondering is, would Democratic voters react the same way to Democratic corruption as we do to Republican corruption? Proof is in the pudding, as they say! How have Democrats actually acted in the recent past, when Democratic politicians were discovered...

OK, for those who believe anything Trump says, you should read the following. PolitiFact is not a partisan fact-checking group, and it will rate statements from people of all political persuasions.

Of all the politicians, Trump is the individual who lies the most and hardly ever — well NEVER — admits to it.

PolitiFact | Donald Trump

PolitiFact is a fact-checking website that rates the accuracy of claims by elected officials and others on its Truth-O-Meter.

[Richard Hawkins]

And this is a suprise ?????

 

[Gene Steinberg]

The surprise is that most people who identify as Republicans in the U.S. believe him regardless.
