This example: "News without motives"

This does not exist and never has

U.S. media loves bike helmets. Bikes? Not so much.

It's fashionable to diss Joe Biden and he utterly failed to stop the genocide in Gaza which will be a stain on him forever.

But his final speech got it right.

If you want to rally and cry for a different world than this fasvist administration is offering, it's right there in the Statue of Liberty, whose promise we've never lived up to.

"Like the very idea of America, it was built not by one person but by many people, from every background and from around the world."
