Posted at 4:00 am on May 26, 2017 by Jay Caruso If there is anything I learned from the Greg Gianforte debacle it’s that a significant portion of the American electorate not only distrust the media, they downright loathe the media. Distrust of the media is nothing new, and I happen to agree that much of the distrust stems from their sometimes sloppy and lazy work. Reporters and journalists can argue all they want that there isn’t a bias against Republicans and conservatives, but there is. I don’t use the term “liberal media” because that denotes coordination.

Leading Republican activists and donors in Ohio are privately encouraging "Hillbilly Elegy" author J.D. Vance to mount a bid for the Senate. BuzzFeed News reported Thursday that some Republicans in the state see Vance as someone who could run an energetic and positive campaign capable of unseating Sen.
