The White House plans to roll out a new policy starting Monday that would charge journalists $170 to take a COVID-19 test every time they enter the grounds, and reporters in the press corps and beyond are not happy about it.

“Georgia senators pass bill to require ID for absentee voting.” So how does the Associated Press feel about that? In the old days when AP attempted to maintain a dry neutrality in its reporting, that could have been a tough question to answer.

When you review the latest congressional favorability poll, it is incredible that Democrats hold the House or the Senate.

Forget objectivity. MSNBC Live host Hallie Jackson literally teamed up with the ACLU on Friday to declare moves by some states to protect women’s sports and minors from life-altering decisions “anti-trans.” At the same time as the Equality Act is making its way through Congress, Jackson noted, “It’s also happening at more anti-trans rhetoric makes headlines. CPAC, which we
Joe Biden traveled to Texas, which was frozen a week ago and suffered rolling blackouts thanks in part (but not in whole) to the total failure of wind energy, and gave a speech. Or tried to. NewsmaxTV’s Grant Stinchfield showed some clips of Biden bumbling around. Honestly this is painful to watch. Rhetorical exit question:

On Friday afternoon, FoxNews.com’s Audrey Conklin torpedoed a claim from Huffington Post reporter Matt Fuller that said Congressman Russ Fulcher (R-ID) was under investigation with Capitol Police for having “manhandled” an African-American female officer at a security checkpoint.

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz at the Republican debate in North Charleston, S.C., January 2016 (Randall Hill/Reuters) I come to correct The New York Review of Books, not to dunk on Ted Cruz, but he’s in the story and hard to avoid.

Readers of TheBlaze might recall a racially charged dust-up a couple of years back at Smith College — a prestigious all-women’s school in Massachusetts — in which a black student accused an employee of racism.

Chauncey DeVega, a political columnist for the liberal outlet, Salon, recently blasted modern-day conservatives for “enabling and defending” former President Donald Trump’s “crimes” in a scathing op-ed, comparing them to “good Germans” during Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party rule. “Good Germans” is an ironic term often used to describe German citizens during World War II who
