FEC fines Biden more than $200,000 for violations

[Platapus]

A day after the Federal Elections Commission slapped Joe Biden with a $219,000 fine for spending violations during his failed presidential bid, a spokeswoman for the vice president is calling the ruling "commonplace."

Commonplace for those who break the FEC regulations anyway.

But CNN, get your story straight. Is it a fine or a repayment?

They are not the same. A little research would have revealed that this is a repayment not a fine.

Way to go CNN in fabricating a headline to incite emotions instead of accurately reporting the news.

The Biden Campaign Manager F-ed up and should be investigated. But the FEC has not "fined" the Biden Campaign, merely requested a repayment according to the FEC regulations.

At least I will be able to tell my grand children about the times when Journalism was a profession. They won't believe it......Maybe I don't believe it either.
