Hoystory On Air S2E33: Games Fact-Checkers Play (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A couple of recent fact-checks from Snopes and PolitiFact popped up in my feeds and various social media. They both reminded me of some of the tried-and-true techniques used by fact-checkers to create a political narrative in the run-up to an election.Over at PolitiFact, they construct a defense for Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico against an attack ad outlining his “love” for trans children. Of the two claims in the 30-second ad, they check only one, focus like a laser on exactly what
Hoystory On Air S2E32: Democrats and the Stop Nick Shirley Act (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s bad enough that Democrats are trying to hide the identities of so-called “immigration service providers” that may be defrauding state and federal taxpayers, but it turns out they’re also employing juvenile delinquents with six-digit salaries.AB 2624 puts immigration service providers in the same protected category as victims of domestic abuse.

Hoystory On Air S2E29: Fauci Takes the Fifth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, Sen. Rand Paul released more than 1,100 pages of “diaries”—maybe better described as journal entries—that former NAIAD director Anthony Fauci kept from 2019 until his retirement in 2022.To say that Fauci does not come off well in them is an understatement. Narcissistic psychopath is more like it.ShareThe less serious part of the diaries is the most telling of the kind o
