Lazy, Smug Reviews Roll in to Dismiss Mega-Viral ‘My Son Hunter’ Film

The predictably smug and dismissive reviews of My Son Hunter from left-wing outlets keep rolling in, with  Gawker and Salon taking their turns at bat to trash the movie and stan the Biden family. Gawker goes the extra mile in the latter regard by declaring Hunter Biden a “Gen X icon,” comparable in stature to the band Nirvana and its frontman, the late Kurt Cobain.

Left-Wing Salon: GOP ‘World’s Largest’ White Supremacist Group, ‘De Facto Terrorist Organization’

“White America,” which is “too comfortable” with the suffering of black people and needs to be “purged” of its “allegiance to white supremacy,” should be “ashamed” after the Buffalo mass shooting, according to a recent Salon piece that accuses the GOP of being a “de facto terrorist organization” as well as the “world’s largest white supremacist” group.

Salon: ‘White Christianity’ Fuels Fascism; Republican Movement ‘Objectively Evil’

In a shockingly anti-white and anti-Christian dialogue, Salon staff writer Chauncey DeVega sat with University of Pennsylvania religious studies professor Anthea Butler, referring to “the Republican fascist movement” as “objectively evil,” hoping that “people of color” die out in the battle against “multiracial democracy,” while accusing “white Christians” of embracing lies, terrorism, white supremacy and fascism.

Left-Wing Salon: Biden Admin. ‘Far More Successful Stifling Free Speech than Trump Ever Was’

A Salon article declared the “honeymoon” between the press and the president “over” as it accused the Biden administration of frequently preventing President Biden from speaking with the press due to fears of what they will ask and how he will respond, while claiming the president was failing due to his “tightly controlled relationship to the media” as he is “walled off by advisers who won’t let him talk.”

Salon: CPAC ‘Cemented’ GOP into ‘Overtly Authoritarian, Fascist Party’

Salon: Conservatives Are New ‘Good Germans’ of Nazi Era, Seek ‘Friendly Fascism’

A Salon essay published on Friday accuses Republicans of resembling “good Germans” of the Nazi era — wishing to believe they are decent people while hiding behind “fictions of plausible deniability for the evils committed by their leader” —  and describes today’s conservatism as seeking “friendly fascism” masked in an appeal to return to “traditional values.”

Salon Owner: Pelosi Made the Appointment, if She Can Come in, ‘Why Are We Shut Down?’

Far left website Salon credited Jared Holt of Right Wing Watch, along with Matt Rivitz’s anti-conservative harassment campaign Sleeping Giants, for catalyzing the purge of Alex Jones and Infowars from major tech platforms earlier this week. Holt’s involvement appears to be motivated by jealousy — he stated, “I guess I was a little bit offended that Alex Jones was able to get on the air and I wasn’t.”
