AP Cries False on 'Trump vs. Twitter' on Coronavirus Spin

AP's "Fact Check" team obsessively challenges the statements of President Trump, almost to the exclusion of other people in national politics. But are they checking facts, or opinions?

Their "fact check" was actually…

Ugly: Don Lemon Repeatedly LIES, Says Trump Has Been Silent on Riots

Clearly invested in driving Americans into raging, rioting stupors, CNN charlatan Don Lemon repeatedly lied Saturday night in claiming that President Trump was silent on that day’s violence and had yet to offer any words of calm, peace, and reconciliation following Monday’s death of unarmed, African-American Minneapolis resident George Floyd. And when he tried to cover for himself by noting…

MSNBC, CNN Compare Trump to George Wallace

The liberal media appear to have adopted Rahm Emanuel’s saying “never let a good crisis go to waste” as their official slogan; especially when a crisis gives them an opportunity to trash President Trump. On-air personalities on both MSNBC and CNN have used Trump’s tweet announcing his plan of action to handle the unrest and riots in Minneapolis, namely “when the looting starts, the shooting…

WashPost Art Critic Turns Temporary CNN Arrest Into Trump Tyranny

Washington Post art critic Philip Kennicott launched another one of his Trump-dystopia jeremiads on Friday, turning the temporary outrage after the arrest of a CNN crew filming the Minneapolis riots into some sort of grand metaphor of George Orwell's 1984. cameras have caught police gunning down people of color, resting their body weight on their necks, choking them while…

Director of Female Ghostbusters Suggests Racist Trump Fans Killed Film

The 2016 Ghostbusters reboot set an ugly pop culture template. Suddenly, to merely dislike a female-centric film made one a sexist if not an outright bully. That media narrative took hold during the rollout for the anticipated film, the biggest gender swap project to date. Since then, similar themes have greeted the release of Birds of Prey, Charlie’s Angels and Captain Marvel.
