Over there at The Wall Street Journal, the paper’s Kimberley Strassel, always a superb detective of behind-the-scenes shenanigans, has dissected the recently released filing by Special Council John Durham. Her findings make plain that Durham points to the tie between all those lefty techies and the Clinton Campaign, joining forces to spread “an inference” and “narrative” in the media…

Gutfeld! host crushes comic tapped to emcee White House correspondents' dinner. The White House Correspondents’ Association dinner is back, and Trevor Noah will be the event’s emcee come April. The timing couldn’t be worse for both parties. The WHCA embodies media corruption in 2022. The group’s signature gala nails journalism’s hive mentality, the buddy-buddy banter between souls who…

Joe Rogan is amazing. Five years ago, I left Fox to start Stossel TV. I left because I was frustrated by live TV. Guests talked so much but said little. I now produce videos like the ones I used to do on “20/20.” I like having a month or more to do research and then more time to edit the video into a short clip that explains complicated things but is also fun to watch. This edited model…

“Dirty tricks” was a term used to describe the behavior of operatives within the Nixon administration to smear the reputations of opponents and undermine the appeal of certain politicians. Fifty years ago, these dirty tricks included a false allegation that Sen. Henry “Scoop” Jackson (D-WA.) had fathered an illegitimate child with a 17-year-old girl and the break-in at Democratic National…

You can’t make it up. Unless, of course, you’re at The Washington Post. The other day, Post columnist Greg Sargent wrote a column, “GOP candidates add a repulsive new twist to Trump’s ‘big lie,’” in which he writes this of GOP Senate candidates in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio and Nevada: “It’s hardly surprising to hear that Republican Senate candidates are campaigning on the…

Jon Stewart doesn’t know which way is up these days. The far-left host is shocked, shocked by his own party's speech suppression. The former Daily Show host once soaked up media praise for his progressive spin on the news. Now, far removed from that gig, the same reporters now look at him curiously, like a relic from the past.

Companies tell us they support justice. “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything,” says former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in a Nike ad. “Speak for the people who may not be able to be heard,” says the NBA. “Corporate PR hogwash,” says journalist Melissa Chen in my new video. “Hogwash,” she says, because the NBA clearly does not want its employees to criticize…

While President Biden and local officials keep talking about causes for the rise in crime in our major cities, proposing “solutions” that have failed in the past, like former President Bill Clinton’s Midnight Basketball idea, the real reason for its escalation is deeper than what we see on the surface. The president’s proposals delivered in New York City last week are more window dressing. As…

In 1936, Adolf Hitler presided over the Summer Olympics. It was a coming-out party for the Nazis. They put their best foot forward to show their recovery after World War I. They intended to wow the crowd with Nazi grandeur. The international press and much of the world ate it up. Two years later, Germany annexed Austria. World War II began less than a year later. Now, in 2022, the…

Put me down as astonished. Over there at CNN – where I hung my contributor’s hat for 2 years (2015-2017) – it amazingly seems as if the place is imploding. As the world now knows, CNN president Jeff Zucker resigned this week, the news a bombshell in media circles. The cause as stated is his romantic relationship with CNN marketing chief Allison Gollust.

The right-leaning Fox News star takes on Antifa, Pelosi and Fauci sans apology. There’s a small problem with Team Late Night taunting Donald Trump on a near-nightly basis. The real estate mogul no longer calls 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue home. He can do or say anything he wants as a private citizen, and it won’t impact our lives. He’s not even allowed on most social media platforms. And yet…

Inflation is the worst in 40 years. The price of cars is up 37%. Gas is up 49%. During the last few years, as politicians spent ever more money, experts told us not to worry. Jerome Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve, said inflation would be “transitory.” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said, “I don't anticipate inflation is going to be a problem.” Now she says, “I'm ready to retire the word…

Trust in government has been declining since the administration of President Lyndon Johnson. According to Pew Research, only 36 percent of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents and 9 percent of Republicans and those leaning Republican now trust government. Who can blame them given the failure of government to perform on many levels? One might think that trust by Democrats would be lower…

Who knew rocker Neil Young was into censorship? The one-time rock and roll guy of Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, - he of such legendary hits as “Rockin’ in the Free World” - was typical of 60’s and 70’s rock and roll types, supposedly free and easy. He had no problem with drugs, advertising his use in memoirs. Now pretending there’s no problem with drug use would be…
