No Republican led states go out of their way to find issues with others they perceive are with the other party, they turn a complete blind eye to the dirty dealings being done by those in their own party.

Even this topic tries to say both individuals are Democrats when nothing indicates how they may choose to vote, both positions were hired employees not elected officials.

Our daughter went to LoCo schools. She graduated in the early '00s. Back then, LoCo was still red. In fact, it was the last congressional district in the DC area to go blue. That was due to exponential growth, with many newcomers moving there from the Northeast. While LoCo was red, there weren't any issues of this magnitude.

Glad to see sanity is once again prevailing. However, one thing that stumped me --- parents were showing up at school board meetings loudly protesting against CRT and all its ills. Yet LoCo went for McAuliffe during the gubernatorial election...hmmm.

Are you implying that the white collar criminals and big drug dealers are all right leaning?

We know they are democrats or at least left leaning because they refused to do anything about the big raping a girl in the girl’s bathroom all because of identity.

Silly me if they were embezzling or miss directing funds away from the children all while blaming the other party they would be Republicans....

Everything does not fall into an us or them slot as you seem to think....

This is way bigger than “committing crime”. A superintendent steered criminal investigations by not notifying law enforcement multiple times to protect his democrat narrative. Lies and deception. Makes sense he’s now been criminally indicted after a grand jury overwhelmingly decided this guy needed to be prosecuted.

Speaking of cover up…. One local news hack write the headline as “fired superintendent makes court appearance” and not using the word Indicted, criminally charged, grand jury, prosecutors.

They are elected by the parents, not left or right.


No idea what this has to do with the election.
The school issue is why the dem Va. governor was NOT re-elected.

Two things, for those who are new to how the news business operates:
1-- The linked story is a follow up to the story about the two being indicted. What does that mean? It means that this news outlet already ran a story about the indictments, most likely on the day the indictments were announced. This story is about what is happening currently -- the court appearances following the indictments.

2-- The word indicted is in the lede, along with a link to a previous day's story about the indictments.

So, by proper and widely accepted reporting practices, this news outlet is not a "hack", but instead is reporting today's news - the court appearance - while still referencing yesterday's news - the indictments.

There is nothing wrong with how the story - which reports on the court appearance as a follow up to a story about the indictments - is presented here.
