Katie Porter is back in the headlines, but this time it’s not just her fierce congressional hearings that are making waves—it’s her Yelp account. Yes, the former Congresswoman has turned her critical eye on more mundane matters, delivering scathing reviews for a masseuse, a taxi firm, and a pizza shop. It’s a striking contrast to the mainstream media portrayal of her as a palate cleanser for the “political elite.” CNN and MSNBC would have you believe that her whiteboard antics were all about holding big corporations accountable. But let’s be honest: was she truly just fighting the good fight, or does she relish the spotlight like any seasoned politician?

Meanwhile, networks like Fox News have been quick to spin this as some kind of endearing quirk—“Look how relatable she is!” they shout. But let’s not kid ourselves. Behind those reviews lies an opportunistic crusade to satisfy a base craving for accountability, all while polishing her brand as a relatable everywoman. The left loves their heroes, and Katie Porter is being crafted into one. But let’s not ignore the fact that this is just another attempt to package partisan politics in a friendly little box.

In the end, whether she’s wielding a whiteboard or unleashing Yelp fury, Porter knows how to keep herself in the headlines. Isn’t it rich how she spins criticism into a marketing tool? If only the corporate media would apply the same scrutiny to her Yelp reviews as they do to the minds they twist on Capitol Hill. Instead, they just love to perpetuate the narrative. It’s high time for a reality check!
