Bozell & Graham Column: A Hollywood Blacklist for Trump Backers?
The Hollywood Left isn’t a fraction as tolerant of differing opinions as it likes to pretend. They can’t stand conservatives, and they especially can’t stand public supporters of President Trump.

ABC Exploits Lou Gehrig's Sufferer to Trash ‘Kleptocrat’ Trump
ABC’s Nightline is a famously superficial “news” program. It mostly focuses on not-so deep topics like celebrities and “bootleg butt injections.” Taking a break from the frivolous, host Juju Chang on Wednesday devoted an entire segment to Democratic propaganda.

NY Times Hits ‘Fierce’ Ken Cuccinelli: ‘Little Concern for Legalities'
The press has targeted Ken Cuccinelli for a long time, both when he was a conservative Attorney General for Virginia and now that he oversees immigration policy in the Trump administration.

Biden's Bloody Eye on CNN Somehow SPIKED by Everyone But Fox
On Thursday, we noted CNN's New Day skipped over Joe Biden's bloody eyeball during the seven-hour CNN Town Hall on climate change, despite it being an all-day Drudge Report item. But then something happened that we didn't expect: CNN never reported it. Neither did MSNBC. Neither did ABC, CBS, NBC, or PBS. Even The New York Times and The Washington Post skipped it. Fox News covered it, but not…
