Trust in the media continues to be at an all-time low. Yet it doesn't seem like the mainstream news media has learned anything. Even after an attempted terrorist attack in New York City, CNN found time to report on an in-depth New York Times investigation on how much Diet Coke President Donald Trump drinks. An entire segment on CNN was devoted to President Trump's love for Diet Coke, fast food intake, and his TV watching habits.

New York – Today Open Primaries, a non-partisan electoral reform organization, condemned the Democratic Party’s Unity Reform Commission (URC) for its inaction on opening primary elections nationwide.

RNC Committeewoman Joyce Simmons of Nebraska resigned her position with the party in protest of its continued financial support of Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.

Moore is facing multiple sexual assault accusations from women who said he pursued them when they were just teenagers and he was in his 30s.

Independent Nebraska gubernatorial candidate Bob Krist applauded Simmons for "standing up to party bosses."

News broke over the weekend that the DNC Unity Reform Commission (URC) -- a way for the Democratic Party to essentially police itself -- announced a number of non-binding resolutions to show how the party should change its presidential nomination process.

A headline like this would probably bring an alphabet soup of federal agencies into the state. That did not happen.

What did happen when over 2.4 million American citizens’ votes were nullified? Four thousand dollars in fines. That translates to $0.00055 per vote. That is what happened when four “faithless” electors in Washington state voted against their constituency.

Read our centrist recap for the week below. We shine a light on the spin and useless stories from the Left and Right and detail what you should focus on, before people can pull wool over your eyes.

In the wake of a toxic presidential election and bitter partisan divides in Congress on every major issue, Americans are rightly wondering what has happened to our ability to rise above politics and do what’s right for the nation. Social media is a convenient scapegoat, with its echo chamber that can make all news seem “fake” if differing from what our friends think

ABC News conducted an exclusive interview with Beverly Young Nelson, one of eight women accusing Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual misconduct when she was a teenager.

Moore continues to deny these accusations, claiming they are a malicious attack on him and his Christian conservative ideology.

Above is video from a Los Angeles City Council meeting, where "activist and house party enthusiast" Chad Kroeger defends his right to party. It may be the most bizarre (and humorous) city council testimony you see all year.

With all the tumultuous partisan politics out there, it's good to take a break and have a laugh.

On Tuesday, the Memphis City Council voted to place a charter amendment on the November 2018 ballot to repeal ranked choice voting (RCV, locally called "instant runoff voting") for electing most city council seats.

Ignoring a remarkable show of support for RCV captured in this television news story, the council disregarded its citizens’ wishes.
