The leftist corporate media are like my kids at a pet shop adoption day: They want to take every animal there, cat or dog, home with us. We can’t take all of them, so my wife and I have to have a conversation with the about how we have all the animals we can take care of already. They pout, but get over it pretty quickly. 

“How is this like the media, Derek?” you are probably asking. Well, it’s pretty simple: Journalists are like my kids and the pets are every Democrat running for office – they want to protect all of them, but there is only so much bandwidth available. They simply can’t protect them all, they have to pick one of them out of the litter. 

In the 2026 election cycle, corporate media has chosen Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. They were going to adopt the Nazi tattoo guy in Maine, but when the sexual assault stories came out that became a bridge too far…after they could no longer deny or bury it. His replacement ended up having a couple of kids with his cousin, so that wasn’t really an option. 

The Democrat running in Ohio is older than dirt and a former Senator already, and few people want to adopt the old dog with three paws and two toes already........
