How does Pravda fact-check the titular party head?
Very very carefully. For me, the main point is that, however the left tries to spin it, Biden is often contradictory, incoherent, and unintelligible to an alarming degree.

A great Glenn Greenwald article on media coverage of the events of January 6th
It’s well worth reading the whole thing. An excerpt: Condemning that [Jan 6] riot does not allow, let alone require, echoing false claims in order to render the event more menacing and serious than it actually was. There is no … Continue reading →
Officer Sicknick’s death: the only surprise here is that the NY Times actually issued any sort of retraction at all, even a mild one
I’ve been writing about the problems with the story about Capitol Police Officer Sicknick’s cause of death since just a few days after it happened. It was clear even then that the report that Officer Sicknick had been hit in … Continue reading →
Someone please tell Andrea Mitchell that ignorant AND arrogant is no way to go through life
And yet apparently NBC’s Andrea Mitchell has managed to do just that. As someone or other used to say: sad. Here’s the error Mitchell made in an attempt to put Ted Cruz in his place: .@SenTedCruz says #ImpeachmentTrial is like … Continue reading →
A few more points about that Time report
I’ve already written two posts (this and this) on the topic of that recent report in Time on the 2020 pre-election machinations, as well as posting several podcast videos on the same subject. But somehow it seems there’s more to … Continue reading →
10,000 National Guard troops
Here’s a report that, in advance of January 6, Trump suggested the deployment of 10,000 National Guard troops: Former President Donald Trump offered to deploy “as many as 10,000 National Guard troops,” ahead of Jan. 6 to support law enforcement, … Continue reading →
More about that Time article: the Arizona call by Fox and many other incidents of interest
That recent Time article I’ve already discussed (in this post) is the gift that keeps on giving. The more you think about the article, the more it seems to reveal and/or suggest. For example, take this excerpt [emphasis added mine; … Continue reading →
Another must-watch from Frei and Barnes
Or a must-listen, actually – no need to actually watch. It’s very long, but I’ve cued it up for just the two shorter parts that I think are especially important. The first once again concerns that Time article on how … Continue reading →
Journalists, friends, history, and farce
It was Karl Marx who wrote this oft-quoted remark: “Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He has forgotten to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.” There’s certainly … Continue reading →
Time on the vast conspiracy to “save” the 2020 election before it even took place
This rather curious article in Time (yes, Time still exists) is getting a lot of attention. You might think that the title of this post is fanciful or facetious, but it’s pretty much a summary of the self-congratulatory title of … Continue reading →
It should come as no surprise that authorities are having trouble finding any evidence that Officer Sicknick’s death was caused by rioters
On January 26 I wrote a post titled “Deadly riots” that explored the cause of death of the five people whose deaths have been claimed to have been caused by the January 6th riots and/or rioters. One was Capitol Police … Continue reading →
Update on Officer Sicknick’s death
As I pointed out in this recent post, the cause of death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick remains unclear. And yet article after article states – without attribution – that rioters inflicted injuries on him that caused his death. … Continue reading →
