It shouldn’t be thought of “information” {that a} Main League Baseball proprietor donates cash to Republican political candidates. However then there’s California’s wildly left-of-center media that contends it’s newsworthy. The San Francisco Giants’ proprietor Charles Johnson supported the Georgia Senate marketing campaign of Herschel Walker, and now he’s getting raked over the coals.
The San Francisco Chronicle disparaged Walker, the previous soccer star and Heisman Trophy winner, as a “cease the steal fanatic” who suspected voter fraud within the 2020 election. Walker has introduced his candidacy for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia for the 2022 election, and he leads polling amongst Republican candidates in that Georgia Senate main race. Walker’s assist from former President Donald Trump additionally soured the Chronicle on his repute.
Although Walker has by no means been charged with home abuse, the Chronicle and Related Press each accused him of that crime in opposition to his former spouse.
Johnson beforehand donated cash to Rep. Lauren Boebert (Rep-Colo.) and to a political motion committee related to former Rep. Elbert Guillory, too. They have been each recognized as ”right-wing extremists” who questioned the integrity of final 12 months’s election, mentioned the Bay Space newspaper that backs far Left-wing extremists.
After the media pack wolves attacked Johnson, he mentioned he would withdraw assist for Rep. Boebert. That didn’t occur although. The Chronicle additional assails Johnson for supporting candidates whose names don’t meet its approval. The truth is, Johnson’s assist for Walker merely revved up the Chronicle’s assaults on any Republican suggesting there have been any election irregularities final 12 months.:
“So it ought to come as no shock that new FEC data by SFGATE present Johnson as soon as once more broke his pledge by instantly giving the utmost particular person quantity to Herschel Walker, the previous school soccer star who’s working in opposition to Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock in 2022 and has already been endorsed by former President Donald Trump and Senate Minority Chief Mitch McConnell. The donation was marked on Sept. 8.”
Citing Politifact as a supply, the Chronicle talked about that “Walker can be accused of being one of the crucial prolific ‘Cease the Steal’ lovers. He “unquestionably engaged in related conduct to Boebert — if not going even additional.”
The Chronicle endorsed a Democrat-heavy slate of federal, state and native candidates in final 12 months’s election, together with Joe Biden for president and Nancy Pelosi for Congress (although she really helpful an investigation of Trump over alleged Russian collusion with none proof). The identical newspaper additionally ran a narrative crediting the WNBA and Atlanta Dream for serving to elect the Democrat Warnock (the leftist that Walker is aiming to defeat subsequent 12 months) to the Senate final 12 months.
Give the Chronicle well-deserved “F” grades for journalistic equity and failing to acknowledge Johnson’s proper to free affiliation, together with an “A” grade for doing the Democrats’ bidding.
