Top Google News Story — CNN Claims Google News Isn’t 'Rigged'

Not biased at all.

With the 2 reds you handed me I thought you were in favour of the bias Walter

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos will propose new campus sexual misconduct rules that bolster the rights of the accused and protect colleges.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/29/...aking-news&nlid=55065696ing-news&ref=headline

What about the victim??

There are some laws where MEN should only be consultants on.......not the primary creators.

Isn't Betsy a woman? Did you read the article past the headline or are you just dumping on her because she is in with Trump

WASHINGTON — Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is preparing new policies on campus sexual misconduct that would bolster the rights of students accused of assault, harassment or rape, lessen liability for institutions of higher education and encourage schools to provide more support for victims.
The proposed rules, obtained by The New York Times, narrow the definition of sexual harassment, holding schools accountable only for formal complaints filed through proper authorities and for conduct said to have occurred on their campuses. They would also establish a higher legal standard to determine whether schools improperly addressed complaints.

It does cover the victim as well

Pathetic. Trump blames Google for the lack of stories supporting his regime. Figures - we have the least competent president in history blaming another form of media for his almost complete lack of success and repeated foul-ups. Of course it is the usual Trump BS. The reason Google has so few articles praising him is because there is damned little to praise.



Debunking Donald Trump's latest conspiracy theory on Google

And Don't forget that the right wing media is a false veneer put up by rich people. Why Sun TV didn't work in canada. Of course if there are much fewer astroturf right wing news outlets who do actual research rather that skating over the issues to some point Murdoch wants to make in any one day. Plus they repeat stories and copy each other. Algorithms probably don't see them as as many options for a story. Laws of supply and demand. More main stream media stories make it because their are many more mainstream media stories. Many more.

The United States is denying passports to Americans along the border, throwing their citizenship into question

The Trump administration is accusing hundreds, and possibly thousands, of Hispanics along the border with Mexico of using fraudulent birth certificates since they were babies, and it is undertaking a widespread crackdown on their citizenship.

In some cases, passport applicants with official U.S. birth certificates are being jailed in immigration detention centers and entered into deportation proceedings. In others, they are stuck in Mexico, their passports suddenly revoked when they tried to reenter the United States.

'Disgusting' and 'Racist': Trump-Backed Ron DeSantis Tells Florida to Not 'Monkey This Up' By Electing Andrew Gillum as First Black Governor

"It's disgusting that Ron DeSantis is launching his general election campaign with racist dog whistles," Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Terrie Rizzo said


In an appearance on Fox News less than a day after his victory in Florida's Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.)—who was enthusiastically endorsed by President Donald Trump—called on Floridians to not "monkey this up" by electing his Democratic opponent Andrew Gillum, who became the first black gubernatorial nominee in Florida's history in an upset victory Tuesday night.

Donald Trump Foundation supported Project Veritas and James O'Keefe

"SNIP......


Meet the people bankrolling James O’Keefe’s groupThe conservative movement continues to fund Project Veritas, despite its string of failed stings.

For the past seven years, conservative operative and*convicted criminal*James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas have used a mix of selective editing and guerilla filmmaking in a mostly unsuccessful series of attempts to discredit political opponents.

......

While Project Veritas does not publicly disclose its donors, ThinkProgress found IRS disclosures for more than a dozen tax-exempt organizations that reported donations to O’Keefe’s group since it received*non-profit status in 2011. Another media organization identified an individual major donor a few years ago, which was also included in the analysis.

......


Donald J. Trump Foundation (at least $20,000)

In October 2016, ThinkProgress*reported*that the Donald J. Trump Foundation, a*controversial*tax-exempt bank account controlled (but not typically*funded*by) then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, gave $10,000 to Project Veritas in 2015. Subsequent filings*revealed*that it gave an additional $10,000 donation in the same year.

During one of the 2016 presidential debates, Trump*claimed*new videos proved that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton “hired people” and “paid them $1,500” to “be violent, cause fights, [and] do bad things” at Trump rallies. He based this claim on O’Keefe videos that*purportedly showed*Clinton supporters bragging about baiting Trump supporters into violent acts (there was no evidence that either Democrat was involved in or aware of the alleged activity).

Yeah Ok only Trump doing this

The government alleges that from the 1950s through the 1990s, some midwives and physicians along the Texas-Mexico border provided U.S. birth certificates to babies who were actually born in Mexico. In a series of federal court cases in the 1990s, several birth attendants admitted to providing fraudulent documents.
Based on those suspicions, the State Department during George W. Bush and Barack Obama’s administrations denied passports to people who were delivered by midwives in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley. The use of midwives is a long-standing tradition in the region, in part because of the cost of hospital care.

Schoolgirl arrested in Trump hat fracas

A California high school student has been arrested after allegedly throwing a classmate's Make America Great Again hat to the ground.
The student reportedly "verbally berated" the classmate and slapped a teacher's arm, El Dorado County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
Authorities have withheld the students' names due to the age of those involved.
A pupil at Union Mine High School told local media she is facing battery charges following the incident.
The 17-year-old told a CBS affiliate the Maga hats - a staple of President Trump's campaign - are a "racist and hateful symbol."
According to the sheriff's office, the student began verbally attacking her peer on Monday because of the Maga hat, before grabbing and hurling it to the ground.
When the teacher intervened, holding out his arm to separate the two students, the suspect allegedly slapped his arm.

US man held for attack on Trump hat boy
Teen 'attacked' for wearing Trump hat

The student was arrested and taken to El Dorado County Juvenile Hall. She faces two battery charges - against both the boy and teacher.
She has been suspended from school for a week over the English class fracas, report local media.
The teenager told CBS she was venting her political opinion.
"Maybe just wake people up in some type of way, because it's not cool the environment our classroom is in," she said.
It is not the first time that someone wearing a Trump hat has allegedly been targeted.
Attacks against Americans wearing Maga merchandise have been reported at least twice, this past summer alone.
