CBS Incensed Over Trump's Attack on Biden: ‘Nasty,’ ‘Hurtful’
CBS This Morning co-host (and Democratic donor) Gayle King on Thursday angrily reacted to Donald Trump's mocking of potential 2020 opponent Joe Biden.

NYT Enthuses Over ‘Charismatic...Democrat in Combat Boots’

New York Times Falls for Fake Quotes Mocking ‘Germany’s Trump'
If it seems like the New York Times is constantly hammering U.S. President Donald Trump, that’s because it is.

NY Times: India Heat ‘Hits Poor Hardest,' Opposes Air Conditioning
Somini Sengupta made Wednesday’s New York Times front page with “In India, Summer Heat Becomes a ‘Silent Killer’ -- 111-Degree Days Hit Poor the Hardest.” First, insert the Mort Sahl joke about a post-Armaggedon Times headline: "World Ends, Women & Minorities Hardest Hit."

Nets Skip Democrats Wimping Out on Their Chance to Oppose ICE
House Republicans gave Democrats a chance to walk-the-walk on Wednesday when they put on the floor a nonbinding resolution in support of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency many liberals had been declaring should be abolished.

CNN's Cillizza Worried that Ocasio-Cortez Could Harm Democrats
Chris Cillizza is in the process of vigorously rubbing his worry beads over the effect the Democrat congressional nominee will have on the political fortunes of other Democrats.
