The Daily Mail, a U.K.-based tabloid, has been bashing the FBI over the Trump assassination attempt.

Tomi Lahren (photo, left) obtained a journalism degree, then sought work in political commentary, but she’s neither a journalist nor a political commentator. She’s a pretty face with helium between her ears who, these days, gets paid big bucks by Fox to parrot Republican talking points o[...]
Fact-checking the fact-checker
Usually we turn to fact-checkers to help us decide whether we can trust politicians. But sometimes the fact-checker comes under fire. This example, cited by MSNBC here, comes from PolitiFact. The Democrats played a 2016 video clip of Trump saying “there has to be some form of punishment for wo[...]
