Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. joebiden.com

I love receiving, editing and publishing columns like this! 💎💎💎 One of my faves now:

I'm so tired of unethical sensationalism masquerading as news, news organizations pushing and/or platforming lies, misleading people and betraying the public trust. It's absurd that news organizations get away with this shit over and over.

With due respect to national media (including @nytimes) stating as fact that certain people did certain things in the #MSWelfare/TANF scandal, you should do real factchecking. A lot of media have passed along unproven allegations and suppositions as "fact"; you need to factcheck.
