CNN 8/12 EXTRAVAGANZA! POLITICAL HIT PIECE ON VANCE!!!
CNN deftly released biased piece against one of Vance's VC with MULTIPLE dubious conclusions:
*the Facts: Vance invested in and championed a company to help a company in middle America to thrive. It was unsuccessful ultimately but had lofty goals of helping the working class
-Dubious claim 1: workers forced to work in "grueling" conditions. Article tries to paint conditions as unsafe, though state investigators found the company was careful and attempted to mitigate the necessarily hot working conditions
-Dubious claim 2: workers replaced by migrants. Nowhere does it say workers were laid off or replaced by migrants, though that is clearly insinuated. Available information shows neither of these to be the case
Verdict: ☭☭☭☭☭
This article is representative of why trust in the legacy media has crashed over the years

Schumer falsely claims reason he will block cuts to CDC is because it "would wreak havoc and chaos on food safety"
The CDC has become a political weapon, used in the Covid pandemic to force government control on the population. While it has other functions, other than government control (including food safety), Schumer and his Party have brought this issue on themselves.

8/9/24 CBS news: Biden lies about why he exited race
"He says his decision, in part, was driven by his belief that he needed to keep the nation's focus on Trump and unite the Democratic Party ahead of the November election."

Verdict: ☭☭☭☭
Walz embellishes service record
2018: "Those weapons of war that I carried in war."
-He never carried those weapons IN war
2007: his own campaign news release called him “a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom”
-He served a support role
Will go easier here because he was in the Guard for 24 years, (though some military veterans are concerned he "retired" right before his unit was to be deployed to Iraq).
Verdict: ☭

NYT interviewer: "You seem to have won every concession from Democrats that Republicans wanted."
The reality is that loopholes would have continued to allow migrants to flood across the border, and Secretary Mayorkas (who has abjectly failed at his job already) would receive even more discretionary power. So, no. Republicans want the flow of illegal crossings to stop, and the bill would have allowed millions more.
Verdict: ☭☭☭
