Fox News has joined the anti-Trump media in using polls to create news and influence opinion rather than to fairly report public opinion.

A fascinating study indicates that the president’s support is based on more than political animus alone What motivates Donald Trump’s political base, a major factor behind the silences and squirms of Republican officials these days? Dissections of what the president’s mass of supporters thinks, feels and perceives have pointed to their vanished jobs, stagnant incomes and precariously low savings; their ideological commitments to conservative judges, lower taxes and nationalist foreign policy;...

If you paid attention to ESPN channels yesterday, you saw the network repeatedly attempt to grapple with the story of Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey creating an international incident after tweeting and then deleting his support for pro-democracy protestors in Hong Kong. You heard talking head after talking head castigate Morey for sending the tweet, speculation over whether he’d keep his job, speculation about the sincerity of his convictions, discussions about what this meant for...

Many people around the world use bidets so they can clean themselves properly after using the toilet. I discovered them in the 1980s in Japan and I installed them in the toilets in my house. (I have the cold-water version, which doesn't require electricity. They cost just and are truly life-changing.) In this video we learn why most Americans don't have bidets. It started because US servicemen first saw them in French brothels in WWII and associated them with prostitution. And when bidet...

"Barr decided a long time ago that he was going to be a fixer for Donald Trump. Donald Trump's personal lawyer."

It’s hard to maintain innocence after starting off with a confession. With the not-a-transcript of the call between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky in one hand, and the whistleblower complaint in the other, the impeachment inquiry into Trump’s actions in Eastern Europe began where most investigations end—with not just enough evidence to solve the crime, but a personally endorsed road map from the criminal. After that, it’s all just crossing the pleas, dotting the indictments. Everything...

Have the social media giants cleaned up their act since the scandals of 2016? We give the big names a healthcheck The next general election campaign has already started. We do not know the date of the vote, but we know that one is coming – and so do Britain’s political parties, which have been steadily stepping up their spending in the largely unregulated world of online advertising. In the last 90 days, the Tories have spent almost £100,000 on Facebook adverts, with the Brexit party spending...

Up to half of small businesses’ revenues come from big firms and those companies’ employees are also their customers Bernie Sanders is right when he says that too many CEOs make too much money. Elizabeth Warren has a point when she says that the wealthiest need to pay more taxes. Many big corporations have a sad record of neglecting their employees, selling harmful products and – as the Guardian recently reported – really hurting the environment. But small businesses, including mine, need big...

The Constitution’s parameters for what may justify the impeachment of a president are “Treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” But what constitutes a “high crime and misdemeanor” is a matter up for debate. While it clearly includes criminal misconduct, when is impeachment the appropriate remedy for something that might be wrong, but not strictly illegal?

The numbers just keep getting worse for Donald Trump, and late Wednesday, his favorite propaganda arm released some disquieting polling for him. A majority of registered voters, 51%, support both the impeachment and the removal of Trump from office. That's up 9 points from Fox's July poll. Yowzer. Another 4% say he should be impeached, but they don't support removal (though it's worth noting that this cohort is likely persuadable on removal). And only 40% say he should not be impeached at all,...

Health care is Americans’ number-one priority, based on recent polls, so it’s no wonder it’s been a hot topic in the Democratic primary.

Even the president is joining the bandwagon and unveiled his own...

In these times of near civil war, Americans agree on almost nothing. Yet, sometime in 2019, almost all of America finally got “woke” on China.
