Judge sets 2024 date for Trump’s criminal trial in Stormy Daniels case (ABC News) Of  course it has to be as close to the election as possible.

Washington Free Beacon.

It goes without saying: The mainstream media is run by liberal activists. This ideological bias manifests itself in several ways, including the words journalists are allowed to use when discussing controversial issues.

For example, the New York Times might publish an article about how “a group of anti-fascist uterus-bearing individuals deployed Molotov cocktails to peacefully express their grievances over Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law, which critics say could prevent access to gender-affirming care and reproductive freedom for undocumented Latinx immigrants, substance-affected unhoused citizens with prior justice system involvement, and full-figured sex entrepreneurs.”

The story would read a lot differently if it wasn’t written, edited, and published by liberal activists and members of the cultural elite who are constantly trying to impose their “correct” opinions on the general public. The woke words and phrases used in media reports would make a lot more sense to the average American if these people weren’t in charge—if journalists were forced to abide by the Washington Free Beacon Alternative Style Guide for Reporting on Issues of Controversy (ASGRIC).

But any excuse will do for an invented smear by the left-adjacent Bulwark.
