Todd said the right wants to report news through a "bought reporter."

"Who do they serve? In their mind, are they serving a leader, a political movement? Or are they trying to serve citizens? This doesn't look like an attempt to serve citizens. It looks like an attempt to only serve the lead propagandist," Todd observed.

“Non-Partisan” is code for “only our opinions allowed.”

Hahaha….”there are none so blind as those who will not see.” The Democrat media has not fooled the people who see their sleazy tactics every day.

A while ago Rush was talking about these kinds of comments. He said that the issue is that they really believe they’re not biased. They think they have the truth, that we all need to open our minds to them.

It could be that there’s no cure. Perhaps we could quarantine them.

Or are they trying to serve citizens? This doesn't look like an attempt to serve citizens.

How about not trying to "serve" anyone and just report what happened today?
