    “…The Senate confirmed two Republicans nominated by President Joe Biden to top diplomatic posts Tuesday.

    Former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake was confirmed as U.S. ambassador to Turkey, and Cindy McCain, the widow of GOP Sen. John McCain of Arizona, will be the country’s representative at the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture.

    The Senate on Tuesday also confirmed Victoria Reggie Kennedy, the widow of the Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, to be U.S. ambassador to Austria, while former Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., was confirmed as ambassador to New Zealand..”

    Why is the press rooting for a Democratic loss in Virginia?
    Thumbs on the scale

    Eric Boehlert

    Sticking close to the media’s preferred script, Axios this week reported that the walls were caving in on Democrat Terry McAuliffe, who’s caught in a surprisingly close race in Virginia’s governor’s race. “It was clear the McAuliffe campaign has taken on an air of tension — bordering on panic,” Axios announced.

    Proof of the “panic” attack? “McAuliffe cut off one television interview last week,” the outlet claimed. That seems like thin confirmation, considering candidates juggle media interviews all the time. Plus, the Democratic did no such thing — he agreed to a 10-minute interview with a local Sinclair TV station and actually gave them 11 minutes.

    Is McAuliffe’s campaign in a state of “panic”? Axios provided no tangible evidence that it is. But the press seems to be rooting for a Democratic loss in Virginia, so the “panic” claim gets widely aired. Eager to portray Joe Biden’s presidency as on the verge of collapse, the press is excitedly pushing the governor’s race across the Potomac as a potentially cataclysmic event for the entire Democratic Party.

    “Virginia’s gubernatorial election is more important than ever as a national barometer” a CNN headline announced this month. What CNN and everyone else covering the race means is that if Democrats lose, the Virginia race will function as a national barometer. If Republicans lose, it won’t mean a thing. Note there’s a governor’s race in New Jersey this year as well, and a Democrat is expected to win with ease. For some reason, that’s not a “barometer” of anything.

    Looking for the lie:

    .@SenatorSinema is not a “rebel” or a “maverick”

    She is quite plainly a big pharma owned chaos agent that is working side by side with Joe Manchin to derail President Biden and to help Republicans win in 2022 and 2024.pic.twitter.com/c1Dlw5ZcAA

    New — President Biden has once again refused to assert executive privilege over more documents that former President Trump has sought to keep out of the hands of the Jan. 6 committee. White House counsel Dana Remus sent a new letter to the National Archives today informing them.
