You sound like one of those douche bags that made fun of the smart kids in school that were always working hard and keeping their nose in a book.
Or just some cultist that has listened to would be dictators or hate mongering propagandists that want their cult to be brainwashed into thinking that facts are 'biased' because they get repeated so often.
There is a reason why these rich dickheads attack factual reporting sources and do shit like destroy local newspaper and buy up local broadcasting to spread their lies. It is because the free press is the one thing that exposed the shit that they do.

Hey guys, how many black dudes receive court ordered organic food in jail LOL. This has been an incredible week for white privilege in the criminal justice system. A license to kill, a license to rape 4 girls and avoid jail time, and the god given right to organic food in prison. Hopefully the Qanon Shaman isn't a vegan, he's going to have access to plenty of free range chorizo soon.

Federal Judges Say Trump is Responsible for Directing his "Pawns" on Jan. 6; Reject Bannon Delay
Good news stories have been coming out of the federal courts in recent days. First, federal judge Amit Mehta directly places blame for the insurrection on the shoulders of Trump and his criminal associates, saying Trump directed his "pawns" on January 6. Then, federal Judge Carl Nichols refuses to allow Steve Bannon to weaponize the delay in the court system in his criminal trial.
The judiciary gets the need for accountability for Trump and his criminal associates. Members of Congress get it, as do We The People and, frankly, our allies around the world. All that is left is for prosecutorial authorities to indict Trump and company for their crimes in violation of the laws of the United States.

Two Fox News contributors quit over Tucker Carlson's Jan. 6 documentary
Stephen Hayes and Jonah Goldberg, two leading conservative writers and pundits who have regularly appeared on the network since 2009, announced they had finalized their resignations from Fox following the release of Carlson's controversial documentary.
"The special — which ran on Fox’s subscription streaming service earlier this month and was promoted on Fox News — is presented in the style of an exposé, a hard-hitting piece of investigative journalism," the two journalists wrote in an entry on their political news and commentary website The Dispatch.
"In reality, it is a collection of incoherent conspiracy-mongering, riddled with factual inaccuracies, half-truths, deceptive imagery, and damning omissions. And its message is clear: The U.S. government is targeting patriotic Americans in the same manner — and with the same tools — that it used to target al Qaeda," they added.
Carlson's series, dubbed "Patriot Purge," purports to tell an alternative story of the Jan. 6 insurrection and features at least one subject who suggests the event may have been a "false flag" operation. The series has been widely criticized, including by Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) of the House select committee investigating the attack.
Goldberg and Hayes in their entry on Sunday bemoaned a trend they say they have seen where Fox’s top opinion hosts have "amplified the false claims and bizarre narratives of Donald Trump or offered up their own in his service."
"Indeed, the news side of Fox routinely does what it is supposed to do: It reports the truth," they wrote, noting it remains the case that "there are still responsible conservatives providing valuable opinion and analysis."
"But the voices of the responsible are being drowned out by the irresponsible," Hayes and Goldberg concluded.
Of Carlson specifically, Goldberg and Hayes wrote, "If a person with such a platform shares such misinformation loud enough and long enough, there are Americans who will believe — and act upon — it."

Jan. 6 panel tells court it urgently needs Trump records
"Delay itself would inflict a serious constitutional injury on the Select Committee by interfering with its legislative duty. The Select Committee needs the documents now because they will shape the direction of the investigation," the panel's attorneys wrote in a filing with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. "For example, the documents could inform which witnesses to depose and what questions to ask them, as well as whether further subpoenas should be issued to others."
Trump is appealing the case after a trial judge rejected his lawsuit to block the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) from complying with the select committee's document requests. The former president argued that the Biden administration's compliance with the congressional investigation violates his own rights to executive privilege.
A three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit will hear oral arguments in the case next week. The panel granted Trump a brief reprieve earlier this month by issuing a temporary injunction that delays the release of documents while an accelerated appeals process plays out.
On Monday, the select committee argued that the internal records, including communications among Trump's top advisers, are crucial in its effort to understand what led up to the Capitol riot and to legislate in order to protest future peaceful transfers of power.
"To do so, the Committee needs to know what, if anything, Mr. Trump, his advisers, and others close to him knew or publicly communicated relating to the efforts to undermine or overturn the results of the 2020 election," the committee's filing reads.

New January 6 committee subpoenas issued for 5 Trump allies including Roger Stone and Alex Jones
(CNN)The House select committee investigating the January 6 riot issued a new round of subpoenas on Monday to five of former President Donald Trump's allies directly involved in planning "Stop the Steal" rallies, including longtime Republican operative Roger Stone and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
The latest batch of subpoenas indicates the committee continues to focus, in part, on organizers and funding of the "Stop the Steal" rallies that took place on January 5 and 6, as well as earlier rallies in the months leading up to the US Capitol attack.
Also subpoenaed by the committee Monday: Dustin Stockton and Jennifer Lawrence, key players in the "Stop the Steal" movement after the election.
Stockton was one of the administrators of a "Stop the Steal" Facebook group that amassed hundreds of thousands of followers before it was shut down by the social media company on November 5 -- the day after it was launched.
the origins of the "Stop the Steal" slogan can be traced to Stone, a self-described "dirty trickster" whose 40-month prison sentence for seven felonies was cut short by Trump's commutation last July.
Along with Bannon and Jones, Stone was also among the most notable voices pushing conspiracy theories in the immediate aftermath of the 2020 election.
At the time, Stone appeared on Jones' far-right radio show to trumpet groundless claims that Joe Biden was trying to steal the election, and Bannon echoed similar conspiracy theories on his podcast, calling the election "a mass fraud."
This is getting interesting.

A federal judge has ordered two Colorado lawyers who filed a lawsuit challenging the 2020 election results to pay $187,000 in legal fees of groups they sued & that the hefty penalty was needed to deter others from using frivolous suits to undermine the democratic system.

Roger Stone And Alex Jones Among New Subpoenas From The Jan. 6 Committee
“Today’s subpoenas make clear that a significant number of public figures in Trump’s orbit were at the very least aware that something was going to happen after that January 6 rally by Donald Trump. The question is: what?” asks Chris Hayes following a new round of subpoenas of Trump allies.

New video of the Jan 6th insurrection court exhibit.
Trump rioters stuffing chairs and garbage cans to block the metal doors from shutting.
Then one rioter throws the can at a cop.
Another comes in and maces another cop.
The cops fall back and the Trump rioters push in.
Trump signs all over the place, so obviously, "Antifa".
Hugs & Kisses ensue I am guessing.

Capitol riot suspect’s court hearing turns to potential criminal charge for Trump

Capitol riot suspect’s court hearing turns to potential criminal charge for Trump
The judge and lawyers discuss whether the then-president’s pressure on Vice President Mike Pence could have amounted to obstruction.
Could former President Donald Trump be charged with a crime for urging then-Vice President Mike Pence not to certify the electoral vote tally?
That appeared to be the thrust of a question U.S. District Court Judge Carl Nichols posed on Monday at a court hearing for one of the hundreds of Americans charged in the Capitol riot.
The judge and both sides in the case found themselves debating the scope of a law being wielded against many Jan. 6 defendants that makes it a felony to “corruptly” interfere with an official federal government proceeding and carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
The statute is typically applied to court-related conduct, like threatening judges, jurors or witnesses. However, prosecutors have leveled the obstruction charge against about a third of the roughly 700 Jan. 6 defendants over their alleged efforts to disrupt the electoral vote tally that Congress was undertaking when a crowd loyal to Trump broke through police lines and forced their way into the Capitol.
At a hearing on Monday for defendant Garret Miller of Richardson, Texas, Nichols made the first move toward a Trump analogy by asking a prosecutor whether the obstruction statute could have been violated by someone who simply “called Vice President Pence to seek to have him adjudge the certification in a particular way.” The judge also asked the prosecutor to assume the person trying to persuade Pence had the “appropriate mens rea,” or guilty mind, to be responsible for a crime.
Nichols made no specific mention of Trump, who appointed him to the bench, but the then-president was publicly and privately pressuring Pence in the days before the fateful Jan. 6 tally to decline to certify Joe Biden’s victory. Trump also enlisted other allies, including attorney John Eastman, to lean on Pence.
An attorney with the Justice Department Criminal Division, James Pearce, initially seemed to dismiss the idea that merely lobbying Pence to refuse to recognize the electoral result would amount to the crime of obstructing or attempting to obstruct an official proceeding.
“I don’t see how that gets you that,” Pearce told the judge.
However, Pearce quickly added that it might well be a crime if the person reaching out to Pence knew the vice president had an obligation under the Constitution to recognize the result.
“If that person does that knowing it is not an available argument [and is] asking the vice president to do something the individual knows is wrongful … one of the definitions of ‘corruptly’ is trying to get someone to violate a legal duty,” Pearce said.

The federal judges seem to be taking a harder line than the DOJ, when it comes to 1/6, perhaps Garland should consider this moving forward. Many seem eager to get a piece of Trump and have said so plainly from the bench.

Jan. 6 panel subpoenas Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and leaders
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is subpoenaing the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, going directly after the right-wing groups as well as their leaders.
A Tuesday set of subpoenas seeks documents from the extremist and militia groups along with testimony from Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, the chairman of the Proud Boys at the time of the Capitol assault, as well as Elmer Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers.
“The Select Committee is seeking information from individuals and organizations reportedly involved with planning the attack, with the violent mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6th, or with efforts to overturn the results of the election. We believe the individuals and organizations we subpoenaed today have relevant information about how violence erupted at the Capitol and the preparation leading up to this violent attack,” Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said in a statement.
The panel also subpoenaed Robert Patrick Lewis, chair of the 1st Amendment Praetorian, a group that provided security at multiple rallies leading up to Jan. 6 that amplified former President Trump's unsupported claim that the 2020 election was stolen. Lewis was also a speaker at a Jan. 5 rally in support of Trump.

House Committee Issues Subpoenas for Roger Stone & Others; Moving Up the Insurrection Food Chain
The House select committee investigating the attack on the US Capitol just issued a new round of subpoenas for several Trump-associated ne'er-do-wells, including Roger Stone, Alex Jones and others. It's clear that Congress is making its way up the insurrection food chain, looking to haul in and place under oath the planners, funders and organizers of the attack on our democracy. Let's hope the next subpoena stop includes the inciters: Rudy Giuliani, Don Jr., Mo Brooks, John Eastman - as well as the inciter-in-chief, Donald Trump.
