All I can say is God bless the crew at Newsbusters. Not because that’s where I got my first taste at monitoring and exposing media bias as an intern there, but because they have to watch some of the biggest clowns in the liberal establishment spew their idiocy on a daily basis. We all know the media is 1000x worse now than anything that occurred under Obama. Back then, some Aspirin could alleviate the headache you received from watching MSNBC and CNN. Now, you need straight-up opiates to maintain a level-head. How they keep sane is beyond me, especially after watching this segment with New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman who decided to heap praise on China. Apparently, the “China good, America bad” narrative he constructed here is solely based on the fact that our main economic and military rival has fast trains and no Republicans.

I wish I could be making this up, but that’s the gist right there. China has really fast trains and they don’t elect people like Marjorie Taylor Greene into the National People’s Congress, or something. Yeah, an authoritarian government has no time for electing crazy people like that. Are you kidding me, Tom? You say America is unserious and then you deliver that braindead lecture. You’re actually going to compare elected leaders (you can put air quotes around elected Chinese politicians by the way) and voting rights between our two countries and come out on the side of…Beijing? The nation with an appalling human rights record that crushes its own people is better because…there are no nutty Republicans there? Oh, and the Chinese are only in the midst of executing a high-tech genocide right now, but let’s just ignore that. It blows up the whole pro-China advocacy here.
