The week in whoppers: Publisher pretends NY Times is unbiased, Nancy Pelosi distorts GOP’s Medicaid plan and more

Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions

This claim:

“We’re not the resistance. We are nobody’s opposition. We’re also nobody’s cheerleader. Our loyalty is to the truth.” — New York Times Publisher A.G. Sulzberger, Tuesday

We say: The truth? Sulzberger’s paper has been a leader of the anti-Trump #Resistance, a blatantly partisan foe of the GOP and a zealous “cheerleader” and coverup artist for Joe Biden (until it became too embarrassing).

Far worse is that he and the Gray Lady claim to be impartial when they’re so plainly anything but.

We say: People who might lose Medicaid, a program for the poor, include those with homes worth more than $1 million and those who get it via fraud.

Does Pelosi think taxpayers should fund such people?

Under the GOP plan, Medicaid would still grow by more than 3% a year.

Nor would a slowdown in spending growth “line the pockets of the ultra-rich”; it would simply help preserve current tax rates (which, when passed in 2017, benefited the middle class).

This logic:

We say: Sorry, but whether Texans rely on Medicaid to survive or not, it’s still a handout.

The trouble with left-wingers like Crockett is they think no one has to pay for their extravagant spending.

Wake up, Dems! Money doesn’t fall from the sky.

This charge:

We say: Does Schumer not count the 33 Hamas hostages freed under a deal Trump closed?

Or the recent deals Trump secured for more than $1 trillion in Middle East investments?

Or Trump’s commitment to Israel and deals to provide it with arms?

Schumer can rightly slam the prez for Qatar’s gift plane. But he shouldn’t fib about Trump’s commendable, quick Mideast wins (especially given his own abysmal record).
