First thing this A.M. was a detestable headline about BIDEN. I won't link it here. I'd never heard of "Matt LEWIS." It was under Yahoo News, which gave the impression of being a News item, whereas it turned out to be a Wingnut Opinion piece of crap.

The *impact* of just the headline is devastating/demoralizing. Most of those who see it don't Google or pursue to find out its slant.
