It’s not an op-ed or a commentary piece. It’s not even packaged as “analysis,” the favorite term far-left “news” company CNN uses for opinion pieces. It’s a straight up news piece on CBSnews.com, and the headline openly takes sides, offering suggestions to companies on “3 ways [they] can help fight Georgia’s restrictive new voting law.”
The body of the piece, predictably, begins from the premise that the law is bad and should be opposed by all companies. The piece notes that “Critics charge that such changes amount to the 2021 version of Jim Crow rules and other historical efforts to suppress the vote to gain a political advantage.” Nary a word of the piece offers any suggestion that anyone thinks differently. No suggestion was offered whatsoever in defense of the bill, which makes Georgia’s voting law less restrictive than many other states and did not put into place a single restriction that is not already the law in numerous other states. None of the law’s features that made it easier to vote in Georgia, such as expanded early voting and permanent ballot drop box locations, were mentioned. Nay, only the contention that “Critics charge that such changes amount to the 2021 version of Jim Crow rules,” which was left to stand unchallenged, even though such a contention is transparent hyperbole at best and willfully false at worst.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
