This was written by Howie Carr in the Boston Globe. Thought some of you would be interested in seeing it.

t’s truly amazing how differently news stories are handled, depending on whether or not Donald Trump can be painted as the villain.

As the saying goes, if it weren’t for double standards, the Democrats and state-run media (but I repeat myself) would have no standards at all.

This week’s example was yet another previously unthinkable event happening in Dementia Joe Biden’s dysfunctional, dystopian America: a nationwide shortage of baby formula.

Ask yourself, how loud would the media be screaming if Donald Trump had done absolutely nothing as this shortage of baby formula developed. And the suddenly the shelves were empty and young families were panicking over whether they’d have enough food to feed their infants.

And simultaneously, the criminal i*****l a***ns swarming across the Southern border were being delivered endless pallets of free formula that law-abiding American taxpayers can’t even buy — let alone get for free, forever, on every welfare program known to man.

The story would be getting the usual apocalyptic h**e-Trump treatment 24/7 from state-run media.

But it’s Joe Biden who’s authored this latest calamity so … nothing to see here folks, move along.

A Democrat religious tract known as the Washington Post went so far as to run a “fact check” saying that Dementia Joe wasn’t responsible for American babies going hungry while the next generation of MS-13 gangbangers grow fat and happy on taxpayer-funded baby formula.

You see, the Post tut-tutted, there’s a “consent decree” from 1997 that says that “irregular migrants” must get everything, period. You see, Bill Clinton was looking to import some new undocumented Democrats back in 1997 and put them all on welfare.

It’s right there in the playbook.

So, the Post said, Biden has no choice but to starve American infants for the benefit of i*****l a***ns — it’s the law.

Of course, what they didn’t point out is that if Brandon had been enforcing some different laws — say, immigration — these hordes of illegal criminals wouldn’t have overrun what was once a proud nation.

This was all unfolding the same week as the nation’s death toll from the Panic passed 1 million, more than 600,000 of whom have died under Brandon’s watch, despite the v*****e, and despite his endless empty promises to end the plague.

Remember when Trump was president? Every headline screamed about a “grim milestone” of deaths. Now, with a million dead, Biden is the name that must never be mentioned.

Instead, the job of the alt-left media, as the Globe informed us, is “chronicling the v***s’ cruel toll.”

No names please. Especially not Biden’s, or F***i’s, or Baker’s.

Do you dream of being a Democrat stenographer with a press pass? Here are some cliches to always remember, comrades, if you wish to become the next Joy Reid or Jake Tapper.

There are “far-right” Republicans, but there are no far-left Democrats.

If you’re a genocidal Muslim terrorist, you must be described as “an austere religious scholar.”

If you’re a born-again Christian, you’re a fanatic.

What do they call anyone they disagree with? (A r****t.)

What do they call a story about Democrat crimes that they can’t defend? (A conspiracy theory.)

What do almost all GOP conspiracy theories — H****r B***n’s laptops, Dementia Joe buying crack pipes for junkies, etc. — eventually prove to be? (True.)

What do they call a summer of r**ts, arson, murder and l**ting by Democrats with more than 40 k**led? (Mostly peaceful protests.)

What do they call trespassing by Republicans on J*** 6 at the Capitol with one unarmed Trump supporter k**led in cold blood by a cop who works for Nancy Pelosi? (An i**********n.)

How did state-run Democrat media describe the arson attack on a Wisconsin pro-life center? (“A fire broke out.”)

How did the fellow travelers describe an assassination attempt on the GOP attorney general of Virginia? (“A bullet flew through the window.”)

How did CNN describe the mass murder of white Christians by a black r****t thug in Waukesha, Wisconsin? (“A car drove through a city Christmas parade, k*****g six people.”)

What’s the only kind of threat there is? (Existential.)

What’s the only kind of crisis Republicans produce? (Constitutional.)

Who gets to name Democrat bills? (Democrats — “Build Back Better.”)

Who gets to name Republican bills? (Democrats — “Don’t Say Gay.”)

What do Republicans do when Democrats are caught in a scandal? (They rant, they pounce, they weaponize and/or seize upon.)

What are such reactions called? (A distraction, a wedge issue.)

Legislation has “bipartisan” support whenever one or two Republicans v**e for a Democrat bill.

If Democrats defect, however, it is never “bipartisan.” And the final outcome is described as the result of “filibuster” or “GOP obstructionism.” (See the a******n v**e in the Senate on Thursday.)

Republicans who agree with Democrats have grown, evolved.

Democrats who agree with Republicans have flip-flopped, and can be followed into restrooms and filmed, or have their houseboats vandalized because … equity.

A******n is “women’s health.”

Democrats’ reaction to winning a court case? (It’s settled law.)

Democrats’ reaction to losing a court case? (Get out the Molotov cocktails! Pack the courts! Burn ‘em out!)

Democrats speak t***h to power, Republicans cling to their Bibles and guns.

As absurd as everything they say is, the Big Lie always seems to work for them. Hey, look who’s president. Joe Biden may be very stupid, but his low-info v**ers are even dumber.

Good editorial with t***h and facts. The Democrats are the Party of Disinformation. The Mass Media is their bull horn. What they seek is thought control.

It's obvious that you aren't from Greater Boston, or the New England area.

If you were, you would know that Howie Carr used to be a reliable news person, but in recent years, he's been pushing propaganda, not facts.

The GOP is desperately trying to find talking points to use for the mid-terms, but those talking points keep slipping through their fingers and evaporating before their very own eyes.

Just today, the FDA reached an agreement with Abbott to get their plant in Sturgis, MI back up and operating soon.

And Congress is working on at least one bill to make it easier to import formula from already FDA approved producers in at least four countries around the world.

The GOP attacks on the infant formula shortages within the United States while complaining about infant formula available on the Southern Border is nothing more than r****m.

The Administration has the unmitigated gall to tell the public that the formula shortage wasn't foreseen?

The FDA shut down the Adrian plant based on an incident in Illinois in which Adrian wasn't involved. And even if Adrian started up today, it will be at least eight weeks to fill the supply chain.

This problem is entirely on the Federal government. And these clowns want more regulation?

PS - Howie Carr only seems to propagandize. You on the Left have just gone off the deep end, so everything right of the cliff just seems like propaganda.

What you are forgetting is that Biden was told there was going to be a baby formula shortage a year ago February and did nothing about it.

However, it's amazing to me that you single straight in on baby formula and ignore all the rest of the stuff there.

Also, you proved my point about Carr. "He used to be a reliable news ...." He still is, he just does not agree with how far left the progressives have moved. There is a great deal of t***h to what he says in the column.

Example of the t***h to what he says, is right at the top of the post. The difference in how the press presents something that Trump either did or is accused of doing versus how the press presents things when Biden does or is accused of something.

Only a blind man who can't read in braille would say that the two have been treated equally by the press.

I stopped reading a few paragraphs into the long article because I know how off kilter Howie Carr has gotten recently.

He's been pushing dangeous conspiracy theories.

Only the Radical Right buys into those conspiracy theories.

Racmanaz Loc: Sunny Tucson!

That's rich coming from a conspiracy theorist such as yourself. Your pushed the Trump/Russia collision conspiracy theory for years. You have no credibility to accuse anyone else a conspiracy theory, you're lying anyways.

Racmanaz Loc: Sunny Tucson!

You are full of crapola as usual. The GOP doesn't need to "find" talking points to use for the midterms when the Biden administration already had fueled GOPs talking points with all of Biden's massive failures.

You'll probably never catch up to Rac, but you sure are making him work hard to keep his lead.

Look at all the i***tic Jennifer Rubin editorials that have been posted in this forum. I see nothing wrong with posting a Howie Carr editorial that presents the other side.

And, you as usual are ignoring the basic point of the editorial, which is that the press treats Biden differently than they treated Trump. That is a fact. If you can't see it that's because you don't want to.
