Why Do Journalists Let Lawmakers Get Away With Baldfaced Lying?

The headline is enough to leave one slack-jawed: “Speaker Johnson: Possible Biden Actions on Border Amount to ‘Election Year Gimmicks.’”
Yeah, he said that.

Multiple media outlets reported last week that President Joe Biden might use his executive authority to address immigration and border issues.
When asked about it, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) called it “election year gimmicks.”

You’re kidding, Mike, right?

Do you mean like the election-year move to scuttle a bipartisan bill addressing the border crisis that had much of what Republicans wanted with significant concessions by Democrats to boot? Do you mean like that kind of election-year gimmick? You know, like the part where people in your own party proudly announced they wouldn’t do anything that would “enable Joe Biden” or “help Joe Biden’s approval rating.”

Mike Johnson disgusts me more and more, every time I see him mumbling and bumbling in front of the microphones. He is Trump’s coffee boy, indeed! 🤦‍♂️🤬

Since the merger of many newspapers in the 80's and 90's, most of the remaining papers are owned by righty Rupert Murdoch and other far righties who are likely Trump supporters.
