There’s a Double Standard in Who’s Treated as Extreme on Abortion Rights

Abortion rights protest sign
If we want to talk about bills that are actively changing the protections of Roe v. Wade, you’d think it would make sense to start by talking about the bills meant to erase Roe altogether. Instead, media focus on bills meant to codify protection of later abortion speak to an underlying bias in coverage of abortion rights that represents support for abortion rights as inherently more extreme than attempts to ban and severely restrict abortion.

Of Course Laura Ingraham Is Defending That Super Racist Old John Wayne Interview

Laura Ingraham spouts nonsense on Fox News
Earlier this week, an extremely racist and homophobic excerpt from a 1971 Playboy interview with John Wayne went viral. For some, this was the first they'd heard about what an incredible POS Wayne was. For others, it was an unnecessary reminder. Either way, we could all agree: John Wayne was terrible.
