MSNBC Conservative Seems to Cheer 'Dying Off' of Social Conservatives
The caricature of an MSNBC conservative is a commentator with a right-leaning background who -- when appearing as a panel member on the liberal news network -- either agrees with the liberal guests or fails to rebut liberal analysis while offering little actual right-leaning analysis to the discussion.

New York Mag Flunks ‘Zealot’ and ‘Bully' Education Secretary DeVos
Journalist Lisa Miller has a hostile 5,500-word profile of "bully" Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos in the July 24 edition of New York magazine, complete with cloying, cutesy “portraits” of DeVos (none particularly gentle-looking) “commissioned” from schoolchildren. The headline selection serves as a reliable CliffsNotes summary of the text: “Who Is Betsy DeVos? And how did she get to be head…

Fake Fact Check: AP Won't Concede Truth of Trump's Economy Tweet
After a six-month respite, the Associated Press has started aggressively going after Donald Trump and his administration over conditions in the U.S. economy.

PBS President Suggests Trump Will Shut Down Tiny Alaska Stations
PBS president Paula Kerger appeared at the summer tour of the Television Critics Association to make dire warnings about PBS stations shutting down in Alaska if President Trump's plan to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting passes Congress.

Newsweek: August Solar Eclipse Could Spell Doom for Trump
Some of you might remember when liberals in the media mocked former First Lady Nancy Reagan for merely dabbling in astrology.

WashPost Shamefully Touts Hezbollah as Successfully Combating Terror
The Washington Post published Sunday about going on a tour backed by the US-designated terrorist group Hezbollah. With no counterbalance to the propaganda-laced piece, titled "Hezbollah takes journalists in Lebanon on a tour to prove Trump wrong," the article was anything but news.
Nets Barely Notice Venezuela’s Vote for Dictatorship
Venezuela’s president held a sham election on July 30 that created an assembly out of his own supporters, to bypass that country’s elected representatives and rewrite the constitution. But, inexcusably, the broadcast networks seem to be going out of their way to avoid reporting on this glaring example of how socialism inevitably turns out, if it’s allowed to continue unchecked.
Liberal Late Night Yearns for Obama: ‘Could Go a Week’ Without Mockery
The writers from liberal late night shows pine for the days of Barack Obama when they could go a whole week without making fun of the president.

Atlantic Attacks Trump DHS Policies as 'Psychological Ghettoization'
The resignation of a key Obama DHS holdover, George Selim, has left many liberals seething as the department has begun to incorporate Trump policies. One example of this could be found in Monday’s edition of The Atlantic where contributing editor Peter Beinart mourned the end of an era.
