here is what i don't get about my Detroit Lions: last year they had a 5th ranked offense, and a 22nd ranked defense, so they fired OC but kept DC. This year they have a 5th ranked offense and a last place defense, and Campbell is still keeping the DC.

This is how NY Times covered Karoline Leavitt joining Fox News today: "Ms. Leavitt, 29 and a steely and nimble presence at the White House lectern". Steely and nimble??? Never once did they mention her constant lies and awful treatment of journalists.

CBS news (Bari Weiss) is trying their best to spin really bad numbers for Trump into problematic election for Dems. Read their latest write up on their own poll today. Unreal. Their own poll has Trump with -22 net job approval and Dems up 9 on generic ballot, and they basically write "both sides".
