Chris not covering Andrew Cuomo; CPAC and the Odal Rune

3/3/2021
Chris Cuomo says he can't cover his brother Andrew's scandals, and immediately people pile on, as if it were inappropriate for him to have entertained people with interviews with his brother before. While I am no fan of either Chris or Andrew's views, the propaganda sold as news on CNN, or the Governor of NY's murderous policies or personal problems, I'm not buying it. Chris didn't do anything wrong. And neither did CPAC, no matter how many people frantically pointed to their stage design...

Violence, impeachment and censorship are all wrong

1/13/2021
