@Dino11 Is this your source ? I’m surprised, tbh.
The Daily Caller is owned by The Daily Caller, Inc., which does not list its owners or members. The website was initially launched after raising $3 million in funding from businessman Foster Friess. Currently, the Daily Caller is funded through native online advertising, averaging 30 million+ page views per month.
Analysis / Bias
In review, The Daily Caller is a strongly conservative news and opinion website involved in publishing controversial and false stories. For example, they routinely publish misleading or false information regarding climate change that goes against the consensus of science. The Daily Caller has also published articles by Jason Kessler, a white supremacist who organized a rally of hundreds of white nationalists in Charlottesville. They subsequently scrubbed those articles after the Charlottesville vehicular homicide incident.
The Daily Caller frequently uses loaded emotional language that favors the right: DEM NOMINEE FOR FLORIDA GOVERNOR IS PROGRESSIVE MAYOR WITH CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION SWIRLING AROUND HIM. The Daily Caller usually sources their information to credible media outlets. Still, sometimes they utilize factually mixed sources, such as the Daily Wire, and Questionable sources, such as Judicial Watch. In reviewing story content, virtually all favored the right in story selection and wording while denigrating the left. The Daily Caller also promotes a favorable view of Former President Donald Trump by promoting his policies.

@bijouxbroussard You can't deny the facts. A sad summer for the democrats.
Why weren't these insurrections investigated? Because the Democrats funded them.

@Dino11 They weren’t “insurrections". Nobody was attacking our government. And yes they were investigated and in several cases, there were infiltrators from groups like The Proud Boys. Moreover, the Democrats didn’t fund riots because not everyone protesting police brutality was Democrat. Black Republicans, generally speaking, don’t want to be profiled and murdered by police either !
When the police pull you over they don’t ask how you vote ! And anything reported the Daily Caller (and Breitbart) is suspect because of their anti-black bias.

@bijouxbroussard I don't think Trump and the GOP funded these BLM and Antifa thugs, to get him defeated in 2020. The DNC had everthing to gain and nothing to lose. You send me a link refuting these facts, not just your opinion, and I'll consider it.
Why did you delete your previous comments? That's very uncharacteristic of a former hippie Ms. Broussard...😇
