  This new liberalism seems totally unprincipled to me, it seems very "the 
end justifies the means", if they can fib or spin information it is ok if 
it helps save the planet (in their eyes) or helps fight racism (in their 
eyes). Since all the people at the Capitol event are convicted racists in 
the eyes of the left anything done to them is fine.

 I generally avoid the MSM, but when I sign out of my email on AOL there 
are usually some headlines and I might click on one if the headline baits 
me.

  Today it was this one...

  "Fighting Biden virus aid, GOP rekindles Obama-era strategy."

  I clicked to find out what "strategy" was being "rekindled" and found 
out the strategy was telling the truth. The first paragraph has this...

 "Republicans have one goal for President Joe Biden’s $1.9 
trillion COVID-19 relief package: to erode public support for the rescue 
plan by portraying it as too big, too bloated and too much wasteful public 
spending for a pandemic that’s almost over."

  Calling it what it is is portrayed as some ploy to fool the public.

  A huge chunk of money is going to bail out blue states so they can 
continue to do the things that put them in the red in the first place.

  Another headline was about the impending Chauvin trial. There will be 
nationwide riots because, why not? Looting and destruction has been 
decriminalized. The only thing that will stop this from occurring time and 
time again is a zero tolerance policy like that shown with the Capitol 
protests.

 You see a lot of talk about emotion in these articles, unfortunately it 
carries no weight in a courtroom (or shouldn`t, anyway). These people are 
bound to be disappointed.

  Democrats are always there to throw fuel on the fire...

 “We know that this trial is going to reignite the same kind of 
emotional and social response that we saw last summer,” the 
councilman said.

  Hilarious that they are afraid that white supremacists are going to show 
up and start trouble. That is the least of their worries.
