  1. This site is so far left leaning and disgusting in claiming all conservatives are far-right, and claiming, “In December 2019, Chanel presented a segment named Revealed: Ukrainian witnesses destroy Schiff’s case exclusive with Rudy Giuliani. The two-part series, shown on OAN, featured Rion interviewing Rudy Giuliani and various Ukrainian supporters, including Yuriy Lutsenko. All of them support different conspiracy theories related to the Trump–Ukraine scandal.” ACTUALLY, All of them support different, (but TRUE) theories related to Biden – Ukraine scandal!!!

    The site’s wording is disgusting and the farthest thing from neutral / accurate / or even real!
