    Congressional Hearings About Team Biden Die in Liberal Media Darkness

    The easiest layup in proving the “mainstream media” is hyperpartisan is to study how they cover congressional hearings. After two years of obsessive media promotion and congratulation and live coverage of the Pelosi-picked panel on Jan. 6, the network “newscasts” can’t locate a hearing now with two hands.

    Biden Proposal Puts Climate Agenda Above America’s Defense
