Minnesota

It is a fact that under the governorship of Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, Minnesota removed a requirement that babies that survived abortions be given life-saving care. However, PolitiFact still slapped a “false” label on the claim on Wednesday.

Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler spun himself dizzy on Monday as he came to Kamala Harris’s defense as he gave former Minneapolis police officer Scott Creighton three Pinocchios for his characterization of her response to the 2020 riots.

During Tuesday night’s debate with Kamala Harris, Donald Trump called out Tim Walz’s extremely radical and, frankly, diabolical abortion stance as governor of Minnesota, but for PBS’s Christiane Amanpour, the fact that Trump even brought it up made him “very, very extreme,” while her panel labeled it "extraordinarily stupid."

GOP Rep. Michael Waltz joined CNN News Central host Brianna Keilar on Wednesday to recap the previous night’s presidential debate, and during the abortion part of the discussion, he was forced to fact-check someone on CNN who was attempting to fact-check him for the second time in the campaign.

Taxpayer-supported PBS snuck in some old-fashioned Democratic politicking under the guise of a soft Labor Day feature from the Minnesota State Fair, that just happened to have been blessed with a visit from off the campaign trail (yeah, right!) by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s running mate: Anchor John Yang: "The Minnesota State Fair draws more daily visitors than any other state…

Fact-checks should be, as the name suggests, about checking facts, but a Friday piece from Alex Kasprak at Snopes showed aspiring fact-checkers how not to do their jobs as he defended Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz on the accusation he banned Christians, Jews, and Muslims from teaching in the state.

PolitiFact took after Sen. J.D. Vance on Tuesday, with a subhead claiming he "misrepresents Minnesota law on kids seeking "gender-affirming care." The fact-defying term appears 18 times in the PolitiFact copy. They ruled Vance was "False," but not as false as claiming amputations and hormone thearpies are "gender-affirming."

The only things certain in life are death, taxes, and the media trying to fact-check Republican claims that Democrats are the real radicals on abortion. Unfortunately for CNN’s Jake Tapper, Vice President Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was there on Wednesday’s edition of The Lead to educate him on just how radical Walz…

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz had not even been VP Kamala Harris’s running mate for 12 hours before MSNBC’s All In host Chris Hayes accused Republicans of “swift boating” him on Tuesday. On Wednesday, CNN’s Jim Acosta and Brianna Keilar followed suit by also turning the clock back to 2004 as they defended Walz from GOP criticism.

Kamala Harris announced that her running mate will be Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who drew national huzzahs in the last few weeks for underlining the Democrat message that J.D. Vance is a major-league weirdo. J.D. Vance lowered the boom: Walz allowed rioters to "burn down Minneapolis" in 2020, and Harris "helped bail them out of jail."

Minnesota State Representative Leigh Finke, a transgender woman, is pushing for Minnesota tax money to be used to make the state a refuge for transgender youth. Finke, who also serves as Chair of the Queer Caucus, suggests funding should also be used to train doctors in providing sex change operations and hormone treatments. The comments, made during a United Theological Seminary presentation…

A 24-year-old special ed teacher and dance coach, Ann Bacon, from Minnesota, has been charged with sexual misconduct after admitting to having sexual relations with a student.

Taxpayer-funded PBS once again pushed a fringe issue into the forefront of the news. This time it was a purely symbolic one. Saturday’s PBS News Weekend, devoted a full five minutes to Minnesota’s move to replace its state flag, staggeringly described by PBS as “what one critic called a cluttered, genocidal mess,” with a less offensive design. Well, that escalated…

Time and time again, Univision proves itself to be an immigration advocacy PAC with a broadcast license. And, as immigration advocacy organizations do, they cheer anything that erodes the distinctions between legal and illegal immigration.
