Morning Joe: Trump Nominating Too Many ‘Young’, ‘White’, ‘Male’ Judges
On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, economic analyst Steve Rattner used a series of charts and graphs to deliver a supposedly straight, facts-oriented report about President Trump’s federal judicial nominations to date.

LA Times: 'Many Foreign Leaders' Say Trump Leads 'America In Retreat'
The Los Angeles Times reads like a Democratic rag with this headline: “Trump claims he's boosting U.S. influence, but many foreign leaders see America in retreat.” Naturally, that means “many foreign Obama fans and socialists don’t like where Trump is leading.” It took three Times reporters to assemble this “news” report, that China leads the climate-change crusade and Russia has taken over…
NYT’s Passive Coverage of Iranian Protests Draws Mockery, Outrage
As the protests in cities and towns across Iran enter their sixth day, the New York Times has caught a lot of flak in the wake of its passive, often misleading initial coverage of the political uprising, as people rebel against the oppressive state, and shout slogans blaming the government for focusing on Hezbollah and Palestine while ignoring issues at home.

More Bias in the Morning: Hoda Kotb’s Worst Quotes
Following the firing of Matt Lauer over sexual harassment allegations, on Tuesday, NBC officially named Hoda Kotb as his permanent replacement on the Today show.

London Review of Books Mocks MSM Embrace of Trump-Russia Collusion
Despite cracks beginning to emerge in the mainstream media such as the CNN legal analyst declaring last week that Trump is right about the FBI, they continue to cling for the most part to their beloved orthodoxy that there was collusion between Russia and the Donald Trump presidential campaign.
