    'WELL, TO BE FAIR, THE PRESS LIES A LOT':

    Another MSM meltdown: The DeSantis/Florida “book ban” that was … none of those.

    In desperation, they just lie, a LOT.

    “Did Florida and Ron DeSantis embark on a crusade to ban a poem read at Joe Biden’s inauguration from public schools? As it turns out, the incident in question had nothing to do with DeSantis, nothing to do with the state of Florida, and poet Amanda Gorman’s book never left the one school library in question. But if you read the story in the national media — fueled by Gorman’s own misinformed Instagram post — you’d think that DeSantis spent the day dancing around a poetry pyre.”

    Actually, it was CNN, that was pretty much the only outlet who took the time to get the story right, the rest of the Lying Fake News, just lied, and spread propaganda.

    They are liars.

    Please discuss why you think that the lying fake news disinformation media consistently lies in the service of the political goals of the DNC. Are they this frightened? Are they convinced that the truth does not serve them? Are cult-like automatoms that cannot distinguish between some of the Left's received narrative and the truth?

    Only CNN, took the time to get the facts straight, and report the truth, which is as welcome as it is unexpected.

    This should not be unusual. Unfortunately, with so much media operating as liars for the DNC, it is remarkable when a news outlet actually tells the truth. Thank you, CNN. More like this.

    Politico, lies.

    This is how desperate the Lying Fake Media is, and deeply, and for good reason, they fear Roaring Ron DeSantis.

    I appreciate the effort Zorro, but we still have people on this board who believe there’s a pee tape out there. And even with the facts you mentioned, we will continue for years to come hear the left say this book was banned.

    Would you folks be more comfortable with using restricted? or are we going to continue a lesson in semantics.
    Remember then that there is no longer any effort to "ban" guns as long as some people can get some guns.

    Too many of them think that mindless repeating of the fake news narrative is their super power, but, I don't think it's a particularly potent one.

    Why DeSantis is right to lean into the culture war.

    A lot of folks, even those 'who lean Democrat — or take a “both parties are the same” line — who are really incensed about all the trans activism' aimed at children. It's a potent issue.

    'DeSantis understands that the culture war and the Left’s efforts to dismantle our institutions from the inside out are the primary issue of the day.'

    'We can improve wages and conditions for the average American worker, and he’ll still go home unhappy because his culture has torn faith, family, and community from him.'

    'Restore our culture — win the culture war — and the rest will fall into place.'

    Fake News. No one is 'banned' from any books. You may confirm on Amazon.

    DeSantis will improve education if he is elected

    In Florida, 'teachers are barred from teaching lessons that would make students “feel guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress” due to their race, color, sex or national origin.' And they should be.

    '“We are not going to tell some kindergartener that they’re an oppressor based on their race and what may have happened 100 or 200 years ago, and we’re not going to tell other kids that they’re oppressed based on their race.”

    And why would any teacher want tell a kindergartener such things?

    LEAVE CHILDREN OUT OF THE CULTURE WAR

    “Florida has ranked number one in higher education for seven years in a row, and by signing this legislation we are ensuring that Florida’s institutions encourage diversity of thought, civil discourse, and the pursuit of truth for generations to come,”

    Again this is symantics certain books are banned under certain circumstances if a book is forbidden in elementary schools it is banned in those schools. Something does not have to be taken away from everyone everywhere in Florida for it to be banned. Florida has forbidden abortions after the fetus is 6 weeks old, therefore it is banned after the fetus becomes 6 weeks old. In Florida felons are banned from having a firearm In Florida; others may have one but for felons gun ownership is banned.
    There are even punishments for providing one of the "forbidden" books to someone who is not supposed to have it or teaching something the state has deemed you shouldn't. All of these things are censorship.
