Axios isn't "Mainstream media". Most people have probably never heard of it.
Only in Dumbfuckistan, where your idiot type lives. Here in reality world, Axios is widely read and respected. Their interview with your wannabe dictator back in August was widely viewed - though probably not in Dumbfukistan...

Speaking about swamps, of which I'm pretty familiar, Trump has certainly stirred up the muck in ours which needed to be done. Thing is, that's all he's done other than adding more than his fare share of new muck and saving the NYT.

When that muck is stirred up the stink of it makes it very noticeable. Some choose to act like it doesn't stink, some seek to get rid of it and its stench.

Let's all jump on this Democrat/China nonsense and forget about the Drump family business dealings and financial backing from Russia. Let's not mention the Russian influence on President Reject tRump and the Repub party. Let's


I mean a complete dereliction...a bipartisan one.
Allowed communist China to capture US best STEM universities.
Weak response from the different admins repub and dem when it was apparent that China was systematically stealing US IP.

Allowed China to organize an effective lobby in Washington.
Facilitated massive outsourcing to China even when it was obvious that China was gearing up to counter the US in everything and everywhere.

Nothing "weird" about it, it's been DOJ policy for many years during elections. But then, you wouldn't know that, not being a reader. Comey got the incompetent #DiaperDon elected by violating this policy.

Barr Worked to Keep Hunter Biden Probes From Public View During Election
The attorney general knew for months about investigations into Biden’s business and financial dealings

I read the article until I reached the phrase, "as Tucker pointed out in a great monologue", which immediately set my propaganda alarm bells ringing. Actually, I read the rest and went to the Tucker monologue (which was as awful as I had anticipated) and sought out the referenced Di Dongsheng speech on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeegrkPx0xE

Insane, one question for your confirmation bias: how does the Townhall article work "Democrats" into its title? That's a partisan giveaway right there. If you actually watch the Dongsheng video, he says nothing about any political party, though he does mention Trump and Biden. He talks instead about government elites and Wall Street influence generally, saying that power elites in the political and financial circles tend to have China's back. Last I checked, Wall Street influenced both parties pretty strongly, though they did not have the cozy relationship they would have liked with Trump. FWIW, Trump's hard stance on China was sole thing he did that I liked. Still, Trump appeased the Street plenty, with bailouts and COVID deceptions to keep the market high. Hey, if you want to go anti-big money elitist, wtf do you support Trump and not, say, Bernie or Warren or AOC?

Townhalldotcom? I wouldn't line a birdcage with that rag. Consider the source.

Ad-hom.

They are not perfect, but they are certainly better than CNN.
