Ollie, calling Kamala's evasions, changing of the truth, attempting to change history, and her misinformation are not omissions, they are lies. She and the DNC are liars.

Ollie, calling Kamala's evasions, changing of the truth, attempting to change history, and her misinformation are not omissions, they are lies. She and the DNC are liars. You, as a journalist should be dedicated to telling the truth. We all understand Trumps exaggerations are lies, they don't much bother me because they are about things that don't really matter (ie: more cross than MLK had, etc). But changing her title...Border Czar, what Border Czar? That was never my title or purview. Or Joe Biden is on top of everything one week and the next week he's incapable. You need to hold yourself and Kamala to a higher standard Ollie. Remember the 8th Commandment, Ollie, "You shall not bear false testimony."
Yes, she and the DNC are liars. But don't you think that Kamala's evasions are more than just her personal choice? Biden's health issue was hiding in plain sight for years while being ignored by everybody on the Democratic side, until they decided to make it public so they could kick him out. Democrat messaging is air tight.
The so-called Border Czar appointment was political theater from the start, designed to give the country the impression that Biden cared about an issue that he intended to ignore as long as possible, and did. The damage control around Kamala's supposed appointment became necessary when Biden was shown the door and the DNC needed to invent an explanation for Kamala's non-action at the border. She said what she was told to say: she was never the Border Czar. And the media backed her up, just like they were told.
You're right that Ollie is a lousy journalist, but there again, he's doing what he's told. If Bari didn't approve of his approach, he wouldn't be working here anymore.
When I subscribed to TFP, I hoped for something different in a news organization, but lately I find TFP disheartening because of articles like Ollie's. I'm rethinking my subscription.
I understand where you're coming from. So far I'm still on the fence, because sometimes the coverage is excellent, especially on the trans issue. Also I know that I was better educated on certain controversial events than my progressive friends and family, for instance the Kyle Rittenhouse case and the Central Park Karen brouhaha. Sometimes the reporting here really is neutral, but as you point out, not always, and these days it matters more than ever.
