The Media Avoids Every Biden Fiasco
If you never looked at a poll and watched only the network news to stay informed, you might think Joe Biden is a very successful and popular president. That’s not an accident.

This week, President Joe Biden—in search of a new label to pin on his political opponents after the failure of his “ultra-MAGA” branding, which prompted peals of laughter rather than shudders of horror—landed on a new slur with which to tar those who don’t support his agenda: they are, he said, semi-fascists.

Biden Administration Uses Infrastructure Spending for Partisan Political Benefit
Congress voted on a massive infrastructure spending bill last fall.

Dumb Question: Is the Pro-Biden Spin Getting Out?
