The Hill has become increasingly pro-war and resistant to truth.
An article today by Elizabeth Crisp is entitled: “Here are the eight Republicans who voted against ending normal trade relations with Russia.”
She writes:
The eight GOP “no” votes were Reps. Marjarie Taylor Greene (GA), Matt Gaetz (FL), Lauren Boebert (CO), Thomas Massie (KY), Andy Biggs (AZ), Dan Bishop (NC), Glenn Grothman (WI), and Chip Roy (TX).
All eight Republicans in the House who voted against the anti-war measure have made it a point to stand out in the far-right wing of the GOP and have been holding tight to former President Trump as he plots a potential run for president in 2024. (emphasis added)
Besides the fact that she identifies a pro-war measure as “anti-war,” she is also wrong about Thomas Massie. Trump tried to have Massie kicked out of the Republican Party.
I left a polite comment pointing out the error about Massie (not mentioning the anti-war thing), and after ten minutes, it was deleted and marked “comment deleted.” There was nothing rude or critical, just pointing out the error, which is too much for most of today’s journalists.
I doubt that Crisp actually checked on these facts. She assumed that anyone against the war is pro-Trump and pro-war and didn’t need to check.
The Hill used to be an honest publication.
