Here she cherry picks from right-wing sources without revealing the political leanings of those sources. As so often happens with conservative journalists, facts and a balanced reporting of those facts is not something they understand. Their job as they see it is to advance and agenda, an ideology if you will. Facts and balance only get in the way.
