You know the left is on the verge when someone who’s a progressive activist, a Bernie Sanders supporter, and an outspoken opponent of “white privilege” has to apologize for not being “woke” enough to approve the prospect of civilians attacking police! Yet that’s precisely what happened on MSNBC this morning. The George Floyd case has sparked
President Joe Biden, his fellow liberals, and his friends in the national news media are purposely—and cynically—misrepresenting Georgia’s new election reform law, and it’s a key part of a far-reaching strategy that stretches well beyond the borders of the Peach State.

So here is the headline from NewsBusters’s Kyle
While Hollywood is undeniably liberal, every now and then it produces a movie that defies the trend of movies pushing left-wing propaganda. There are lots of lists of conservative movies out there based on a wide range of criteria. It’s easy to point to a Christian film, like God’s Not Dead, or an anti-abortion movie
Is it time to cancel Ken Burns at PBS? It’s not easy being a white, male, cisgender filmmaker these days over at the taxpayer-funded public television network.
