Debbie Dingell appeared as a guest on Tuesday's New Day, CNN host Alisyn Camerota at one point seemed to fret that businesses are planning to pay out bonuses after the tax cuts were passed as a way of making their employees grateful to Republicans for their pay increase and coax them to vote for the GOP -- and that the ploy might succeed.

WashPost Worries Tax Cuts Will Spur Middle Class to Stop Donating
On Christmas Eve, The Washington Post found another reason to suggest the Trump tax cut was a terrible policy: Middle-class people would stop giving to charity. That’s a bit insulting, to insist that most Americans only donate to get a tax break. Liberals insisted this was another disturbing demonstration of Republicans pushing wealth inequality.

CBS Ignores Guatemala As First to Follow U.S. Recognizing Jerusalem
On Monday, CBS This Morning was alone among the morning newscasts in ignoring Guatemala's announcement that it will be first to follow the U.S. lead and recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and move its embassy there.

NYT Reads Trump Fist: 'What My Whiteness Allows Me to Get Away With'
At least one part of Amanda Hess’s job at the New York Times is making whites feel guilty about sharing black-themed “memes” (humorous images or clips and text combinations) on the internet -- or as she uncompromisingly terms them, “Digital Blackface.” The hypersensitive Hess was again seeing racism in other normal things in her introduction to the paper’s special year-end section on Sunday, “The…
Christmas Miracle: Trump Gets NYT to Embrace FBI Against GOP Attacks

NYT’s Cohen: ‘Terrorized Toadies’ Love Trump, ‘Mussolini’s Understudy'
The New York Times Roger Cohen composed an inspired masterpiece of anti-Trump oratorical obloquy: “Wondering, If This Is America.” Cohen, an international columnist for the paper born in London, mustered his high indignation not only of President Trump (aka “Mussolini’s understudy”) but of America itself. Cohen sold his Saturday edition article on Twitter as “Turkmenistan-on-the-Potomac: If This…
AP Reporters Use Misleading Stats to Throw Cold Water on New Tax Law
On Sunday morning, Thomas Beaumont and Nicholas Riccardi at the Associated Press did all they could to convince readers that the tax bill just passed by Congress and signed by Donald Trump isn't seen as a big deal and has no genuine enthusiastic support (even though they found some) among those who voted for him in 2016. They predictably claimed that the law bestows "its richest benefits on…

Anyone who has been out in the real world during current and previous Christmas shopping seasons knows that there has been an informal (and occasionally formal) proscription against stores wishing customers a "Merry Christmas" and promoting Christmas in their ads and promotions. On Friday, Wolf Blitzer's CNN panel tried to pretend that the hostility towards "Merry Christmas" has never existed, as…
PolitiFact Slams Trump with 'Lie of the Year,' Whacked Him All Year
The least surprising thing about PolitiFact’s 2017 "Lie of the Year" is that it’s uttered by Donald Trump. Their biggest lie was “Russian election interference is a ‘made-up story.’” Once again, PolitiFact showed far more aggression in evaluating Trump’s statements than any prominent Democrat. In 2017, the “independent fact checkers” singled out Trump for 140 evaluations, and 95 of them (68…

Press Draws Lame 2010 ObamaCare Parallel in Seeing Big 2018 GOP Losses
During the past month, many establishment press pundits have pivoted from believing that Republicans will suffer major losses in the 2018 midterm elections because they haven't accomplished anything to predicting that Republicans will suffer major losses now that they have.
