Wow, what naïve and pretentious comments for a site like AN.  Also, quoting a bias and liberal paper like the Washington Post and then just blindly attacking the "right" shows insulation and ingenuity on your part.  Honestly could care less about Right vs Left, Fox News vs CNN/MSNBC because they all just blindly throw mud at each other and never admit or concede anything.

I could easily find reputable and "professional journalistic" articles bashing Biden in so many different arenas but I don't live in an echo chamber.  

Do and be better than that, I know you can...

So you are saying that the timeline is inaccurate?  I actually come from a journalistic background (father published a paper, sister was an editor for a daily, mother was a business editor).  They all went to journalism school - it actually is a real profession with a code of ethics.  That is the difference between "real" newspapers and editorial comments by people who aren't educated in their craft.  Others who don't go to editorial meetings in the morning to actually discuss if what they are doing is quality, just doesn't define itself as journalism.  There are left wing rags and there are right wing rags, but I don't classify the WP as a rag since it makes a point to also use conservative writers.  You wouldn't know that if you don't read it, but my local newspaper uses commentators from the WP more than any other newspaper and I actually READ them rather than label them part of a conservative echo chamber.

The WaPo, along with many other so called MSN outlets have become nothing but left wing rags. You think not, read these:

These types of “reporting” is why thinking people don’t believe them. At worst they lie, at best they do not follow journalistic standards nor a code of ethics. Many of you went right along with some of these ridiculous stories bc you simply believe these organizations are telling you the truth. Sad state of affairs in this Country. Still going right along with the Biden agenda because some still think the “reporters” are reporting the truth, the same ones who consistently lied while Trump was in office.

You think they are telling the truth about CRT, no they are not!

https://www.MSN.com/en-us/news/opinion/debunking-the-medias-lies-about-anti-critical-race-theory-legislation/ar-AAL9MZf
 

if you really want to help black people find an organization that does just that and help. IMO, CRT is not helping, it only works to further divide and push people into tribes, that is not how the Country thrives which will only hurt everyone. 
 

And, yes I know, my articles are not from left leaning MSN, but as I have pointed out the MSN has a bad habit of not telling the truth.

MSN? Is that main stream news? 

Sharyl Attkisson believes that the MMR vaccine causes autism, right?

It's reality bad form to utilize a Internet site like CNSNEWS, which is well known for inaccurate reporting, to attempt to impeach the credibility of fact checkers or media outlets that at least try to verify accuracy and credibility. It's weird for you to cite a famously inaccurate sources while criticizing the accuracy of other media. 

The Washington Examiner article you offered states this;

Quote

There’s a reason a majority of the country opposes critical race theory. It is a racialist and racist ideology that insists race is determinative of character, and that every structure and system upon which America was built is oppressive and must be destroyed.

That's opinion that isn't founded in fact. 

The most prolific liar during the Trump administration was Trump himself.  He even had people lying to us on his behalf on a regular basis. He gave us alternative facts, remember?

What is really bad form is to keep believing the main stream news organizations (like the ones in the articles I posted) when it is quite obvious that they do not tell the truth/lie.  
Anyone who truly wants to know the facts about CRT can research it, the truth is out there no matter what you or the MSM think (ie your, and their opinions). As I have said many times you do need to get off Google though or you may not find the truth, try a different search engine that is not left leaning.

I also wonder why you keep going on about Trump (since he is out of office) instead of worrying about how the current admin (Biden/Harris) seems to be mucking up everything they touch.

And for another example of the MSN not telling the truth (or just trying to cause division) why are they making the Rittenhouse situation about race when race had nothing to do with it.  No matter how you see his actions it had zero to do with race, yet BLM and activists are protesting, and news agencies, and even the President (Biden) called him a white supremist with zero evidence. And just today MSNBC got kicked out of court for following jurors, not exactly professional or ethical.

Wyoming GOP votes to stop recognizing Cheney as a Republican

 

Cheny should pull a Charlie Crist (former Republican governor of Florida during the Obama years and took stimulus money) and tell the republicans where to go.  I don't know how she doesn't.

CRT is based on the premise that racial bias and racial inequities have existed and in some forms continue to exist.  There are various conclusions people come to about to what degree these issues existed and the impact they have today, but that the point of CRT, all conclusions are up for debate.

The idea that CRT is bad because it's based on a false premise, that racial bias and racial inequities don't currently exist and never did is a bit absurd.

Are you assuming from comments here that I have not adequately researched the subject of CRT?  What has been presented in these threads, about CRT, that is incorrect, in your educated view?

Trump remains a direct threat to our republic.  His lies about our elections are dangerous and threaten our Constitution.

There's quite a bit to unpack in that paragraph. The trial isn't about race. What media is talking about race relative to the trial?

Can you quote Biden's words on the matter? Did you know that Rittenhouse was connected to the Proud Boys? I read about the jury incident in the Washington Post today.  The judge certainly reacted to it.

I use different search engines in order to obtain different articles upfront (Google is bias and puts what they want you to see and also is not private at all). Lost of info including some tech stuff:

Nobody has a problem with teaching accurate history (good, bad, and ugly). That is not what CRT does/teaches.

Again bologna, this might be a news flash but Trump isn’t the President. 

 

This is the clear and present danger:
