You can always tell when a leftist media outlet doesn’t like a story angle. They’ll cry “no evidence,” and you want to ask them if they actually spent any time searching for evidence. It’s their way of suggesting the story is too disreputable to pursue, like Hunter Biden’s laptop.
On the “PBS News Hour” on May 19, the term was “unfounded.” Republicans are “pouncing” on the news that Joe Biden has an aggressive case of prostate cancer. PBS anchor Amna Nawaz lamented: “Donald Trump Jr. has posted online, claiming that the diagnosis here was part of a wider cover-up around Mr. Biden’s health. He’s also repeating unfounded claims that Biden clearly had dementia.”
Here’s what the president’s son tweeted: “The Dem-Media is trying to cover up the coverup over Biden’s failing health — Which was obvious to anyone with a functioning brain — Because they know it implicates all of them.”
It’s not “unfounded” to claim that the media cooperated in shaming and suppressing Biden’s cognitive decline.
The online headline for Nawaz’s lament focused on the end of the Monday night pundit segment, which focused on Trump: “Tamara Keith and Amy Walter on the battle over Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill.'” It looks like they couldn’t “ruin” the home page with Biden skepticism in the headline.
The U-word was repeated. NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith added: “President Trump himself has now also made unfounded claims about how President Biden must have known that he had cancer long before this was made public.”
Nawaz and Keith made no time for Democrat Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel’s comments on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that the advanced stage of Biden’s cancer strongly suggests that he had cancer throughout his presidency. Are MSNBC and the Democrat doctor guilty of “unfounded claims”? Why can’t they spend 24 hours looking into this story before making knee-jerk denunciations?
NPR’s homepage offered a similar headline: “Trump suggests without evidence that Biden delayed sharing his cancer diagnosis.” The story began: “President Trump suggested without evidence on Monday that former President Joe Biden had delayed sharing his prostate cancer diagnosis.”
PBS and NPR would never air stories suggesting “Joe Biden/Kamala Harris suggested without evidence that Donald Trump is a fascist.” Or in the current moment, they didn’t report “Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz made the unfounded charge that ICE agents are ‘Trump’s modern-day Gestapo.'”
Instead, when Harris agreed on Charlamagne Tha God’s radio show last October that Trump is a fascist, PBS brought on Trump-despising professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat for a story headlined “Trump ramps up his dangerous political rhetoric in final weeks of campaign.”
It’s apparently not “dangerous” to compare Trump to fascist dictators after two assassination attempts.
In that story, PBS reporter Laura Barron-Lopez even platformed Harris attacking Trump for a lack of transparency! Harris said: “He refuses to release his medical records. I have done it. Every other presidential — every other presidential candidate in the modern era has done it. He is unwilling to do a ’60 Minutes’ interview, like every other major party candidate has done for more than half a century.”
After press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre agreed two weeks later that Biden saw Trump as a fascist, PBS brought on Ben-Ghiat again for a segment headlined “How Trump’s rhetoric compares to historic fascist language.” In the liberal bubble of “public broadcasting,” this smear is never “unfounded.” Over and over with Trump, it sounds like the “PBS Pounce Hour.”
The notion that Trump-supporting taxpayers have to turn over their hard-earned money for these transparently partisan “public media” outlets never stops being an outrage.

To this treasonous self-righteous, lying Democrat Party, their supporters and their media/political propaganda, our U.S. Constitution, Laws, Gender, Truth, Facts, Reality and History are all irrelevant. If the Democrats or their journalists do not WANT to believe them, or they disagree with them. Democrats and their rag journalists will just make up their own, laws, Gender, Truth, Facts, Reality and History to fit what they WANT to believe or fits into the Con or Deception that they are running at the time.
Joe’s mind has deteriorated into that of a child,,,,and Jill and Hunter proven to be unfit custodians of what is left of our brain diminished ex-president. If Joe was of childhood age, his wife and son would be guilty of child abuse, which now continues in the form of abuse of a mentally unfit symbol of what the democrat party has collectively done to the entire American psyche. Perhaps the government should take custody of what is left of Joe’s existence away from all greedy family members who have used him to enrich themselves every bit like single moms who have mulitple kids, with multiple unmarried partners, in order to fleece the American pubic of social dependency funds, and who view their abused children as their prime source of income revenue, every bit as flithy lucre income fleeced from the hard working responsible taxpaying people who are actually able to SELF-govern their lives, to create real wealth and security for thier kids and family via the tradional American means of hard work, and clean living.
I still can’t understand how what they did to biden was NOT SEEN AS elder abuse!?
If I hear the word FASCIST one more time out of the mouths of those Democrats who point the finger at Trump while three point back at them I’ll puke, Soon we will be providing our citizens with barf bags to replace the masks that held in, not kept out the socialist infections of the recent past. Hitler was the leader of the german” National SOCIALIST workers party” which the term NAZI is an abbreviation of. He was a Socialist first and used socialism to advance into an even darker realm of dictatorial SOCIALISM that history has proven time and time again is the begining of a nation’s own SELF-destruction. FIrst Hitler took away all the guns and patroled the streets with his brown shirts to intimate the honest police forces of the 1920;s. He also baited the german people into his government dependency traps of frree healthcare that selectively arrested and culled out his political oppnents whose homes were invaded Mar A Lago style. His propaganda minister was as evilly media brilliant in repeating the NPR lies over and over so many times that THE PEOPLE actually began to believe they were true, until the German people looked around too late and saw their bombed out crippled cities of hunger and financial bankruptcy, awoke them to the same reality that awaits the USA unless we take back our media and government and declare SOCIALISM every bit as crimial and NAZI’isms. Spreading Socialism was Joe’s REAL Cancer.
I almost came to blows the other week, with this screeching wrench outside the library, trying to get petition signatures to “impeach the fascist trump”, when i told her
“Look, if he WAS REALLY A FASCIST as you folks love to claim, NOT A ONE OF YOU WOULD STILL be standing on the streets calling him that, as you’d already be locked the hell up, or worse, Disappeared.
BUT ITS strange how you liberals call US conservatives, as the fascists, when its YOU FOLKS literally using violence, to silence all opposition”.
SHE got real peeved at that, and almost tried to slap me. BUT the security guard for the library, told her “if you hit him, HE has full right to hit you back.. So go ahead”.
That calmed her down.
