Oops! In the midst of a wacky rant claiming that the Chinese are developing a virus that kills only Caucasians, WND columnist James Zumwalt repeated a false satire meme that 23andMe sold its DNA database to the Chinese.

Despite its relatively sparse attendance, NEWSMAX heavily hyped Donald Trump's campaign rally in the Bronx with stenographical reporting and lots of TV appearances by Trump toadies gushing over how it went.

The Media Research Center's resident hate-watcher of The View, Nicholas Fondacaro, unsurprisingly went on a rage-bender when the show's hosts expressed opinions on Donald Trump's conviction on all 34 counts in his New York trial.

NEWSMAX continued its tradition of uncritical stenography of rallies and speeches Donald Trump did during weekend breaks in his trial -- then let Trump laughably complain that the trial was keeping him from campaigning.

WND just can't stop promoting falsehoods and misinformation about COVID vaccines, this time uncritically forwarding claims by notorious misinformers Naomi Wolf and Joseph Mercola.

As Donald Trump's trial moved toward more discussion of the hush money he paid to Stormy Daniels, the Media Research Center made Daniels a target while fretting that the whole thing looked "sordid" for Trump.

When last we left off, the Media Research Center was lovingly portraying Donald Trump as a victim as his trial in New York heated up. In an April 23 post,

Media Research Center writer Elise Ehrhard spent time hate-watching the new season of the "Velma" series, and unsurprisingly she hated it even more than the first season.

WND columnist Mike Pottage once again shows his Putin-puppet tendencies by justifying its war in Ukraine because the West would acquiesce to Putin's demand that the country not join NATO (a defensive alliance).

Mike Pottage -- who we last saw gushing over Vladimir Putin's softball interview with Tucker Carlson -- referenced that interview again to defend Putin in
