Ever since Oprah Winfrey's moving speech at the Golden Globe Awards last week, Centrist Democrats have been raving about the possibility that the actress and talk show host challenges Donald Trump for the Presidency in 2020. However, one of the main criticisms that has been levied against Trump is that he's simply a billionaire with absolutely no governmental experience who got elected by pretending to be Christian and being the supposed  'teller of hard truths'. Similarly, Oprah is a billionaire who has exactly zero governmental experience, with many people not even knowing where she stands on important issues like Healthcare, Prison Reform or Tax Reform among many others. In fact, Oprah  HATES the Estate Tax  and has called the Death and Estate Taxes "irritating", has voted for as many Republican politicians as she has Democratic and has been praised by conservative Bill Kristol, a man who has never met a war he didn't love. Kristol has even praised ...

A simple search of The Sun's  Wikipedia page shows us that the Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper has been a part of more misdemeanours than I've had hot dinners, with a majority of the Wikipedia sub sections dedicated to their most prominent scandals. The Sun's most prominent scandal has to be their coverage of the Hillsborough disaster, in which 96 people lost their lives as a result of overcrowding in the stadium which led to a human stampede as fans tried to exit. In their infinite wisdom, The Sun decided to publish false allegations on their front page, titled "The Truth" and made misleading allegations, claiming that the Liverpool supporters picked the pocket of the stampede victims, attacked officers and also urinating on the officers, subsequent investigations into the disasters has revealed these allegations to be wholly unfounded and The Sun is now banned from Liverpool and Everton stadiums and training facilities. Now that you can see the type of smea...

Facebook post by Far-Right Group, Britain First. You may be familiar with the Far-Right group Britain First as they have recently attracted a large amount of headlines. The media attention directed at the hate group was a result of sitting US President Donald Trump retweeting three of their videos which allegedly depicted ISIS members attempting to kill a young man, another Muslim male smashing a statue of the Virgin Mary and a young group of Muslim males attacking a disabled boy. However, the third video of the attack against the disabled boy wasn't perpetuated by a Muslim, according to the Independent. The video in question was titled "Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches!" The Independent links to a dutch website called 'No Style' which  states that the attacker is a Dutch man , and not a Muslim migrant like hate-filled individuals such as Donald Trump and Jayda Fransen want us to believe. So, as you can see, the Britain First organisation is ...

Should you decide to torture yourself and delve into political social media, you will be met with two warring liberal factions - Loyal Democrats and Progressives. Much of the debate between the two factions surrounds Bernie Sanders, with 8% of registered Democrats claiming to actively dislike the Vermont Senator. This 8% are extremely vocal on social media and you are able to find them sharing their disagreement with Bernie Sanders in replies to anything he posts, even if his post isn't anything that these people disagree with, it all apparently goes back to how evil Bernie Sanders is. With the current sexual assault allegations surrounding prominent American political figures such as Al Franken, Donald Trump, John Conyers and Roy Moore, every single allegation has to be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly as powerful men shouldn't be able to get away ruining a woman's life in order to assert their self-perceived dominance. The current frenzy of allegations ha...

Democrat Doug Jones recently emerged victorious in the tightly contested Alabama Senate race just a few short days ago, a race in which Roy Moore is still suggesting that a god-fearing man such himself couldn't have lost and is refusing to concede to Jones. Moore recently uploaded a video to YouTube, urging his supporters to keep the faith, claiming, "the battle rages on, in this race we have yet to receive the final count to include military and provisional ballots."  Moore continued to address his supporters, many of whom see the recent sexual assault allegations against minors as "liberal smears", while conservatives seem to believe that they've found all the evidence they need to cement this claim, with the apparent paper trail leading back to the "liberal media".  As Roy Moore continued his I'm-a-sore-loser speech, you are able to see the exact moment that he dons his tin foil hat as he lists off several accusations, "thi...

Pro-Trump website 'Conservative 101' had penned a particularly dreadful  article titled "Bernie Sanders Blames President Trump For White Nationalist Movement, Then He's Caught Doing...", and it is unfounded to say the very least. Hell, the writer couldn't even make the piece grammatically correct as one of the paragraph begins with the line, "despite how Bernie Sanders the mainstream media are portraying the situation", yes, that is a literal sentence in the article, told you that it's dreadful. Anyway, the article is based on the premise that because Bernie Sanders has the support of the progressive political action organisation 'Our Revolution' and because Our Revolution sent out an email referencing how Heather passed away and to essentially fight back against the rise of white nationalism that we are currently experiencing and the fact that they had a link at the bottom of the email to ask people for donations - which, you kno...

A twitter user, which Progressive Political News is now blocked by, recently made the assumption that a vast number of white nationalists support Bernie Sanders and that he is somehow accepting of their support in order to further his political ambitions of seemingly turning America into a Soviet-style socialist state - or just giving people health care in order to live, but you know, who needs political nuance in this day and age. Political Twitter is made up of several factions that spend most of each and every day screaming at each other about why they're right, most of the time without a single policy mentioned. The factions pretty much range from the "we even hate Bernie Sanders" Left-Wing, then to the "Democrats are the only hope we have! #Resistance" and you can even end up at the Alt-Right/White Nationalist part of Twitter if you're brave enough. There are also, of course, the Bernie Sanders supporters, Republicans and Libertarians sprinkled acro...
