Fake News: CBC Show Hires Actor to Portray Racist Trump Supporter
It seems that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Marketplace show was unable to find a racist Trump supporter. Instead they hired an actor named Mike to portray one as you shall see.

It was their laughably unsubtle attempt to link Donald Trump to racism.

As Trump Freezes Federal Hiring, AP Hides 'Dramatic' Workforce Growth
In a Tuesday morning dispatch about President Donald Trump's federal hiring freeze, the Associated Press's Matthew Barakat presented a quote from Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer.

Rhetoric and Reality
President Donald Trump's inaugural address may not have risen to the rhetorical level of John F. Kennedy ("The torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans" and "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"), or Ronald Reagan's critique of government ("Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem"), or even Barack Obama's in…

NYT Columnist Warns Media Against 'Hysterical' Opposition to Trump
New York Times right-of-center columnist Ross Douthat diplomatically but thoroughly documented the liberal bias and anti-Trump animus in the mainstream press.

Entertainment Weekly Hails 'The Obamas' Best Pop Culture Moments'
The January 27 edition of Entertainment Weekly magazine devoted two pages to a kissy-kissy Obama farewell titled “The Obamas’ Best Pop Culture Moments.” Hollywood loved the Obamas, and cooperated in their propaganda ministry whenever requested.

ABC, NBC Tout Chelsea Defending Barron, No Mention of ‘SNL’ Writer
Saturday Night Live writer Katie Rich found herself in hot water over the weekend after the 33-year-old thought it was humorous to bully 10-year-old Barron Trump, saying “Barron will be this country’s first homeschool shooter.” In response to Rich’s vile tweet, former first daughter Chelsea Clinton spoke up and defended the president’s son.
