IT’S OBVIOUS THE MEDIA’S CARRYING BIDEN ALONG

The prejudice is inexcusabl­e

- Joe Battenfeld

The Nodding Lady. The Fly. Steve Scully.

What do all these weird things have in common? They’re all examples of how the mainstream media is now openly waging war against President Trump and conspiring to carry limping Joe Biden into the White House.

Of all the lies Trump has told, the one thing he’s said that’s true is that the media has a not-so-hidden liberal agenda.

The latest example is Steve Scully, the suspended C-SPAN political editor caught red-handed trying to consult with anti-Trumper Anthony Scaramucci before the now-canceled second presidenti­al debate. Scully was supposed to be the debate moderator, but fortunatel­y we never got to see that performanc­e.

Instead, he’s now fighting for his job after his antiTrump leanings were exposed.

Alarmed that Trump was questionin­g his fairness to moderate the debate, Scully reached out on Twitter to former White House aide turned Trump critic Scaramucci.

“@Scaramucci should I respond to trump,” Scully tweeted.

“Ignore,” Scaramucci responded. “He is having a

hard enough time. Some more bad stuff about to go down.”

Scully apparently thought he was having a private conversati­on but he immediatel­y cried foul, saying his account had been hacked.

After an “investigat­ion” by C-SPAN, Scully gave up his lame excuse and confessed to trying to get advice from Scaramucci. He has since been suspended, a developmen­t you’d think would be a bit of a bombshell but instead has been convenient­ly downplayed by the major media outlets.

But his reaching out to Scaramucci right before the debate adds even more fuel to the public’s distrust of the media — and actually proves Trump right in this case.

The Nodding Lady — dubbed by social media users during Trump’s NBC town hall meeting — is actually former congressio­nal candidate and Trump supporter Mayra Joli, who was seen repeatedly nodding during Trump’s answers to town hall moderator Savannah Guthrie.

Apparently outraged that a Trump supporter was let into the town hall, livid liberals rushed to identify and “dox” Joli in a bid to mock and shame her. It was a shameful display of the type of Trump-hating anger that has led to countless incidents of Trump supporters being targeted, threatened and even attacked.

Joli was called the new “fly,” the famous insect who landed on Vice President Mike Pence’s head during his debate with Democratic opponent Sen. Kamala Harris.

Why were Democrats and the media so obsessed with the fly?

Because Harris was actually losing her debate with Pence. So rather than acknowledg­ing that, Trump critics focused on the fly for a few good belly laughs. Hysterical.

What all these incidents prove is that the idea of a fair and impartial media is a joke. The public knows it, and that’s the real threat to democracy, not Donald Trump.
