Politico Pundit to Press v. Trump: 'Time to Circle Behind Enemy Lines'
Jack Shafer, a longtime media critic now with Politico, wrote an article on Monday with the wisecracking headline "Trump Is Making Journalism Great Again."

Extensive NYT Study Calls for Job Cuts, Diversity...Same Old Politics
If its frantic anti-Trump post-victory coverage hasn't given it away, a new internal report from the New York Times made clear the journalistic organization has failed to learned anything from Trump’s election victory.

On Fire: The Racist Anti-Racists at MTV News
It's only the second week of 2017, but it's already been a banner year for preening liberals on cable TV who are hell-bent on self-immolation in the name of proving everyone else's moral inferiority. To use young people's slang these days, you're "lit," media progressives. But not in a good way.
