CNN loved Trump (and his effect on their ratings) from day one back in 2015, and helped him get elected by essentially campaigning for him, as he himself pointed out, if I'm not mistaken.
They can hate him, and love the pay off, at the same time, true?

Because she's a media darling and said media puts her out there all the time. She has more power than you give her credit for, since she and other members of The Squat are pulling the 'crats to the radical left.

Because y'all seem to be building your platform using her particular brand of crazy as a blueprint.

Tell ya what.....when you guys start ignoring her.... we will too.

AOC is a Federal Rep and has nothing to do with NYC Governance.


The NYC Council is responsible for that.


The New York City Council is the lawmaking body of New York City. It has 51 members from 51 council districts throughout the five boroughs.

The council serves as a check against the mayor in a mayor-council government model

The city council also has sole responsibility for approving the city budget


Remember the tax credits that Amazon wanted ? NYC council shot that down.

???????????

Conservatives have never wanted a flood of uneducated, unskilled illegals.

The disaster at the border is a direct result of the idiocy of liberalism. Liberals never think through the consequences of their emotional, irrational decisions. People are harmed and die of such idiocy, which never seems to bother libs, as long as they can "virtue signal" at cocktail parties and claim to be "concerned".

Do description of those condition depend on who is occupying the White House?
The media bias in general is astoundingly obvious. For example, going back to George Ws time, Comedy Central ran That’s My Bush. A show flat out made to bash on him every episode. Obama gets elected, no such show about him. Trump is elected, boom, there is a bash show about him.

Obama’s term you hardly heard ANYTHING about what he was doing in the news and online. Hell his horse faced wife and her abomination of a school lunch program got more media coverage than he did.

President Trumps term. You can’t turn on the tv or go on the net without seeing 500 things a day about every little thing he did, almost all of which portrayed in a negative light even when it was something good he had done.

Now dementia Joe is in the office. Barely seeing much about what he is up to. Media STILL hounding and jabbing President Trump as a now private citizen and still can’t let him go. I’m amazed I actually saw one article on Yahoo about Biden’s inability to climb the stairs of Air Force one.

It is BLATANTLY obvious who the media supports and it’s downright sickening. The news should NOT be biased just like the courts and SCOTUS shouldn’t be. We are so #crewed as a country.

I think we all know who the bigger hypocrites are on this. Had AOC been seen at the border crying lately?

She was one of the "chief executioners" who made Amazon walk.

From the moment Amazon chose New York City, AOC used her massive platform as the biggest star in Congress to inveigh against the deal as an affront to economic justice, never mind the facts.

Granted she wasn't the only one opposed but AOC campaigned hard and used her influence. Even Cuomo criticized her. "Gov. Andrew Cuomo called it a “lost economic opportunity” and blamed “a small group [of] politicians [who] put their own narrow political interests above their community.”"

I think that was tried during the Trump administration, and countries refused to take them back.
