Fredo attacks the intelligence of a concerned mom in a Youngkin campaign ad. "Her son was assigned to read ["Beloved"] in an advanced placement English course. It's college-level. Smart kid. The parent, maybe not so much." This, from the guy who failed a mental acuity test.
Fredo went on to accuse the mom, Youngkin, and the GOP of being racist and want to ban the book because it's written by a black author and because they want to rewrite history.
He got back up during the handoff from Don Lemon as they smeared Virginia parents and the people opposed to McAuliffe as evil racists who don't want their kids reading "black books." " Look at how it's working in Virginia," Fredo said warning it's going to be a midterm play.
And in the next hour, Don Lemon and his fellow CNNers suggested the mom is a racist and took shots at her son. "It also just so happens that kid who was so traumatized ... happens to have grown up to work for a national Republican party political committee," John Harwood chided.

Ignoring David Chipman's racist targeting of black ATF agents which sunk his nomination, CBS Evening News lets him claim those who opposed him were against stopping gun violence. He also claims licensed gun dealers want to profit from "selling them to criminals and tourists."
Chipman asserted he wasn't a radical but then made the ridiculous claim that in parts of the country it was easier to buy a gun than a beer.
He also lashed out at lawful gun owners by suggesting "not enough of them" were gainst stopping gun violence.

He essentially proved the senators right for not confirming him.

On CBS Evening News tonight, anchor Norah O'Donnell is ignoring Loudoun County students walking out of class to protest the district's mishandling of a serial "gender-fluid" rapist but she did have time to talk about a Japanese princess turning down a dowry and losing her title.
NBC Nightly News also skipped the student walkout and hyped Biden campaigning with Terry McAuliffe for the VA governor race. Reporter Kristen Welker parroted the Dem campaign line that McAulliffe's anti-parent comments were "taken out context."
Welker also ignored Youngkin's surge in the polls and touted how McAuliffe's strategy to tie his opponent to Trump was "working."

Despite the claims of Border Patrol agents using "whips" on illegals was utterly debunked, ABC's World News Tonight was back at pushing them for the second night in a row. Reporter Kenneth Moton refused to mention the illegals who commandeered a bus or those who assaulted pilots.
It was the same thing on CBS Evening News. They ignored the response to the BP union (ABC scoffed) and the fact the agents were trying to control the crowd of illegal. Meanwhile, reporter Manuel Bojorquez suggested the agents were just trying to "intimidate" the crossers.
As with yesterday, NBC Nightly News and reporter Morgan Chesky was the odd man out. He ignored the false claims of whips and reported that some of those being deported grew violent. "A group assaulted three ICE agents and pilots," he said.

Disgusting: Chris Cuomo accuses mounted Border Patrol agents of being racist, targeting the "brown menace." He suggested one agent looked like he belonged in the "bygone era of slavery." He also spewed the lie that people were "beaten" with "a riding crop."
He eventually admitted that the reason the agents were on horseback was that the terrain required it. He talked about how Border Patrol agents were frustrated and overwhelmed. He also chided that a wall was never going to fix the problem even though there's no wall in that area.
And in the pre-commercial tease for the segment, Cuomo described the Border Patrol Agent's actions as "a kind of barbarism and we have to be better than."

ABC's World News Tonight targets Border Patrol agents with smears by pushing the lie that they're using whips against illegal immigrants. And ignore the statement put out by CBP on the use of reins and what equipment they're issued.
There was a similar message on CBS Evening News. They too spread the misinformation. "... threatening them with what appears to be horses reins or ropes including families like this one holding a baby when the agents get dangerously close..." They too ignored CBP's statement.
NBC Nightly News took a more measured approach. As explained by correspondent Morgan Chesky, DHS Secretary Mayorkas says the images show "the rider's reins." Adding: "We're told that agents are not equipped with whips and ride horseback for their own protection."

CBS Evening News praises Gen. Milley's treachery with his alleged promise to aid China in combat if the U.S. would strike under Trump. They also celebrated him going around the chain of command and subverting the president's authority with the nuke codes citing his delusions.
On NBC Nightly News, Andrea Mitchell essentially made the argument that Milley was right to commit treason and promise aid to China. Despite the fact Milley's delusions had no merit, she argued it really looked like Trump was going to start a war with China.
Over on ABC, their coverage mostly consisted of chief Washington correspondent Jon Karl reading excerpts of the book. He did note that Milley was not in the chain of command but was instructing orders to only listen to his orders and not the president's.
