Mike Pence has unnecessarily come rushing to the defense of Joe Biden, by volunteering that he too, as a vice-president, accidentally found classified documents at his home just days after criticizing Donald Trump again for the same thing, despite the fact that Trump is allowed to have such documents, and neither Biden, during his time as vice-president, nor Pence was allowed to do so.
Moments after Pence’s announcement yesterday, even the left-leaning “The Hill” applauded Pence with the headline: “Pence documents complicate GOP attack lines on Biden.”
A few hours later, Tucker Carlson came to the same conclusion.

A few hours after that, Greg Kelly on NewsMax went on air with a wonderfully detailed report that came to the same conclusion.

Unfortunately, this great report came with an unhappy ending. Kelly announced that NewsMax was facing deplatforming at midnight last night by one of their cable purveyors, Direct TV, which accounts for 13.5 million of NewsMax’s 50 million pay TV households, but that 13.5 million are in more remote areas which is why they need satellite TV because they don’t have access to cable.

And sure enough, when dawn broke this morning, Dish had shut down NewsMax, now leaving only Fox serving a mostly conservative audience.
Dish says this has nothing to do with censorship, it’s a negotiation over who gets how much of the shared revenue between Dish and NewsMax. We’ll probably have more on this story tomorrow after the smoke has cleared away a bit.
I’m still reporting from very near the citadel of world freedom, good day.
