Fox News and the New York Post both published Li's memory of a July 19 Harris donor call; left-leaning coverage has not reported that claim.

Jasmine Crockett Honors Convicted Abuser Chris Brown

NBC News never gave the Fox News count that eight remaining Sheeran dates were NFL stadiums, so Kraft's alleged boycott had to carry the whole explanation for why Macklemore left the tour.
Charlie Kirk Statue Vandalized at Turning Point USA
The Guardian's Kirk statue story never includes the Satan-over-Jesus defacement that the Daily Wire reported.
