Biden’s polls aren’t great. How much is the media’s fault?
Long before Fox News co-opted the phrase “fair and balanced” as its slogan, American media was striving to meet that standard.

Racism came home to roost at Florida Capitol. GOP shocked it’s their bill’s fault
Florida lawmakers got a taste of the bigotry their legislation has helped to legitimize in the past two years of warring against so-called “woke” culture.
