Trump calls the Washington political press fake news, but I find that the Washington media goes out

of their way to be impartial particularly where the Dems are concerned. Today, Political's White House Correspondent, Anita Kumar, goes out of her way to report that her sources are telling her that no matter what happens with Trump allies, Joe Biden will not be the nominee. She said this right after MSNBC Live had just ran a series of Poll results all of which showed Biden and Warren in either the number 1 or number 2 spot in each of a series of polls, national and state.

So if you were about to send a contribution to Biden, you'd now be thinking, "What does she know that I don't know?". Maybe I should hold off on making that campaign donation to Biden.

So if the public is of the belief that the liberal press is biased towards the Democratic candidate, they would be mistaken. I don't know who Ms Kumar's sources are, and what they are telling her, but in spite or her sitting there and looking at poll data just reported to the contrary, she reported that her sources are telling her which is counter to what she had just saw reported. And she very well may be correct.

Her sources may have some data that the rest of us haven't heard yet, which tells her that support for Biden has tanked already, but that info has not been reported yet. I can promise you though that if that had been Fox News, they would not have reported that their sources are telling them that Trump will not be the nominee in spite of his being ahead (No. 1 or No. 2) in a whole slew of polls that had just been released to the contrary.

Had that been Trump with the same set of poll data, he would have said that polling data was wrong and that he (Trump), was in the lead in every poll, and was going to be the winner. The so called liberal press won't allow us to be happy, even for a minute, when they are sitting there looking at current poll data being reported.

is one of the two who gave the farewell party for Icky Sanders. Clearly, she is on the wrong side of history and I wouldn't take her word on .anything
