"And men are apparently twice as likely as women to say they have lied about their vote. "

Well, if they still want to get laid ....

The Trump campaign could make good use of Nicki Haley in Arizona, making an appeal to McCain voters. It's a missed opporutunity.

Trump and his supporters use this kind of language all the time, deliberately and with malice of forethought - and no apologies, ever. I hate “whataboutism” and I don’t like the media double-standards either, just had hoped FP wouldn’t engage in the same. Biden, who of course is not a candidate, said something stupid. “Whatever” would be the appropriate response, not faux outrage.

Trump - malice

Biden - stupid.

Actually Biden has always been a nasty mean spirited hater. See Bork hearings. See Clarence Thomas hearings. You’re a dog faced pony soldier. Hey Fats. I don’t work for you. I’m smarter than all of you.

Revisionism is not nice.

Apostrophe discussion is a perfect lie for the language police that uses Orwellian language like the Inflation Reduction Act, bastardizes our language with plural pronouns for singular people, etc. If you want to bastardize the English language please stay away from the Spanish language as in Latinx! The woke language police forget that Spanish is a romance language whose root is Latin and historically has used feminine/masculine pronouns and Latinos/Hispanics will never accept this language destruction. But when we have a Propaganda Minister like KJP, who has the toughest job in this administration as she continues to have to shovel the toxic mess for cleanup duty. She needs a full on EPA approved hazardous materials suit.

It is delicious that the side that revels in taking its opponent out of context now protests that its president’s words were taken out of context. Sorry, you created this unthoughtful, selective and partial sound-bite ballgame. Stew in it.

Obviously, the comment by Tony Hinchliffe revealed his ignorance. Islands don't float.

But the big question that seems to be unasked ... when Kamala Harris was making the biggest address of her campaaign on the Ellipse, why was Joe Biden down the street at the White House making a zoom call instead of being on stage with her?

My problem with Tony Hinchliffe was he wasn't funny. I didn't laugh.

I don't care who you are, you cannot "hear" whether or not there is an apostrophe in "supporters". These mental gymnastics deserve a gold medal

I'm loving how the new narrative is that the edgy, anti-woke MAGA comedian "made one joke about Puerto Rico."

Biden was taken completely out of context.

Biden might get a pass if this was a rare occurrence, however, he has always been a mean petty person who has always despised people with whome he disagrees. He actually threatens to fight people, not quite the look of a someone who is supposed to bring the country together. He's a coward and weak.

Donald Trump is a disaster in almost every way I can think, but he's likely to win the election. That tells you everything you need to know about the Democrats who, int he last three elections against him, have put up a deeply unlikable and corrupt snob, a mentally impaired walking disaster and now A literal DEI hire who can't string together a coherent sentence.

A good read for most of us but a large portion of us will justify the actions of the radical left as lies by Trump fans.

The reason Mr. Trump has so many of us on his side is the mass hysteria and crazy actions we hear daily. It's just Joe's open hostility or the idiot's on late night tv, it's the riots at the colleges and how the law ignored it or past it off as a minor outburst when it was outright racism destruction of property. Not a single one was charged.

Tell us again how inclusive and fare the left are.

It's obvious to me why a lot of people are leaving this den of vipers.

"As Bari Weiss noted in a piece we published Wednesday afternoon, the legacy press is deeply invested in a Harris victory."

I hope this troubles others as much as it does me. And the FP is hardly any different. At some point in the last 50 years, journalism was abandoned and replaced with wordsmiths who try to sell an agenda at best or just attempt to blindly sow fear and anger at worst.

So true.

The media has always been utilized as a medium for influence.

The ‘news’ particularly attempts indoctrinate rather than inform.

There might have been some nobility in journalism but it been lost as flackery replaced principle.

Public communication has become narrative driven to the point where any contradiction or question is hazardous to those with the temerity to confront the preferred spin.

A Legacy media willing to cast ethics aside and practice this kind of deliberate if ignorant election interference is, has been, and will be willing again to abide more crooked FBI and Intelligence Community election interference on behalf of Democrats. Both the intelligence community tactics and its media enablers must be stopped, and American voters can do the stopping.

"It’s another for the press to rush into damage control mode for Biden and Harris."

Business as usual for the DNC's whores in corporate media. 🥱
