That is typical of conservative media.  Fear mongering.  And their usual bigotry.

Media matters report that unhinged Fox news is freaking out over legal indictments of Trump.  Wildly claiming threat to democracy and rule of law? Suggesting that if Trump is brought down, Fox viewers may be next?

      are bad for human health:

Published last week in the journal Environmental Science & Technology,
the study was the first to measure benzene emissions from gas stoves
and ovens, and it found that the concentrations of the toxic chemical
went far above the benchmark deemed unsafe
by the Environmental Protection Agency.

raised kitchen benzene concentrations
above the upper estimate of benzene
concentrations found in secondhand smoke
in about a third of the cases that we measured"

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
acute benzene poisoning can cause symptoms such as drowsiness,
dizziness, rapid or irregular heartbeat, headaches and even death
at very high levels.

Long-term exposure to benzene can decrease the number
of red blood cells, leading to anemia, can weaken the
immune system and can cause cancers such as leukemia.

FAKES NEWS is the same cable clown show that is forced to pay just under $1 BILLION in a settlement for defamation due to their ongoing lies to the public and will sometime later this year be forced to pony up even more.

- they fired Tucker Carlson and one of his producers

- they fired Raj Shah

- they are settling a lawsuit with a former producer due to a toxic work environment

- they dumped Dan Bongino

And the serial liars gleefully ran with a FAKED story about Biden and the dems kicking out veterans from a shelter so they could house illegal migrants instead.  That faked story was just made up by a group of maga-republicans to cast dispersion and angst against immigration, President Biden, and Democrats broadly.  So as usual they didn't bother to confirm the facts first  before inserting their collective feet into their mouths and spreading LIES to their incredibly gullible viewers.

Supreme court overturning of Roe is based on a lie.  Dobbs ruling didn't return abortion decision to states where people would supposedly vote to determine policy.  Instead abortion policy is dictated by right wing judges and lawmakers in legal battles.  For example, rogue judge ruling affects access to abortion pills nationwide.  Problem is minority rule which is undemocratic.  Majority of Americans support abortion rights but republicans don't listen to them.  As a result, loss of abortion rights is a loss of women's freedom to control their own bodies.  Now abortion clinics are overwhelmed by patients who have to wait weeks and travel hundreds of miles to get vital healthcare.  Supreme court created this mess and may have to clean it up later.

Media liberal bias is mostly a right wing myth according to Lehigh university study.  Consumption of news from MSNBC and CNN only have a significant association with liberal attitudes 10-15% of the time.  Rather the main culprit is Fox news indoctrination of right wing beliefs 60% of the time.

A 2018 systematic review of the research, published in the
Global Pediatric Health, also found that diagnoses of asthma
and the frequency of reported asthma symptoms are higher
in children who have been exposed to benzene in the air.

False...As an example,  All you have to do is turn the TV on and see how disgusted the MSM is with the recent Supreme Court verdicts.   MSM hates conservative principles. 

 

You don't need Lehigh university to tell you something that's incorrect.   You just need to open  your eyes and pay attention to your surroundings.  an_eek2

There are no reputed studies at this point which refute these findings.  Benzene is dangerous to human health particularly children.

"First, the Department of Justice did not retaliate against 'an Internal Revenue Service("IRS") Criminal Supervisory Special Agent and whistleblower, as well as his entire investigative team... for making protected disclosures to Congress,'" Weiss -the trump appointee - wrote.

Weiss also disputed testimony from Shapley, who previously told the House Ways & Means Committee that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland was not telling the truth when he said Weiss had the authority to file charges against Hunter outside of his jurisdiction in Delaware.

an_lightWeiss pointed to a June 7 letter in which he wrote that he has "ultimate authority over this matter," which extended to decisions as to "where, when and whether to file charges and for making decisions necessary to preserve the integrity of the prosecution."

"I standby what I wrote and wish to expand on what this means," Weiss - the trump appointee - wrote.

"As the U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, my charging authority is geographically limited to my home district. If venue for a case lies elsewhere, common Departmental practice is to contact the United States Attorney's Office for the district in question and determine whether it wants to partner on the case. If not, I may request Special Attorney status from the Attorney General."

He wrote that he has been assured that he has the legal authority to file charges in Washington, D.C., the Central District of California or any other district where charges can be brought—and that he would be open to testifying before the committee in more detail about the investigation.


an_light*Weiss was appointed to his role by former President Trump in 2018. Although new presidents typically ask their predecessors' U.S. attorneys to resign when taking office, Joe Biden opted to keep Weiss to avoid potential interference with the investigation into his son.

MSNBC reports more former Fox executives regret helping Murdolph create a monster.  Fox news was not meant to be a news gathering operation. But rather a political weapon for far right extremists.  A misinformation machine lacking journalistic integrity to promote fear mongering, sensationalism and propaganda.

So many weak-willed gullible trump-cult followers were sucked in to the Fox News fraud.

Michigan announces felony charges for 16 Trump-backed electors who tried to overturn the election


The felony charges mark a historic first against a
pro-Trump scheme to overturn the 2020 election.

The House January 6 committee found that Trump
and his allies hope by installing alternate electors that
they might get Vice President Mike Pence to overturn
the results or return disputes back to state legislatures
that could then declare Trump the winner.

Each of the 16 individuals will face charges related to
forgery generally and election law forgery, specifically.

Media matters reveal that Fox news continue to cover for Trump in documents case.  Claiming new indictments are a media distraction away from Biden, Fox news doesn't understand why it would be illegal for Trump to destroy evidence.

Little known story developing in Haiti. 

Island seems to be a defunct state. 

The National Human Rights Defense Network said earlier this month that deadly violence and kidnappings have been surging in Haiti, with at least 75 people killed and 40 abducted between May and mid-July, the Associated Press reported.
