What?! Reid: ‘Nothing’ Is More ‘Predictable’ than Media Backing GOP
January 22nd, 2018 3:30 PM

January 21st, 2018 10:32 PM
Dedicated tax-and-spend liberals often get help from the press in describing their plans to raid constituents' pocketbooks in vague terms, while nobly describing the alleged benefits of their plans to use the money.

January 20th, 2018 4:42 PM
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio played make-believe during his Wednesday Morning Joe appearance, and everyone else present let him do so without challenge.

The Press Is Not Above Reproach
January 20th, 2018 3:05 PM
At the risk of sending the left into a state of apoplexy, a monolithic, biased, renegade, politicized press is a far greater threat to liberty than a president criticizing the media. Like their First Amendment counterparts — the freedom of religion, the freedom of assembly and the right to petition the government — the freedoms of speech and the press are an important part of what has made the…

Google Suspends Flawed Fact-Check Effort; Poisonous Culture Remains
January 19th, 2018 4:48 PM
The Daily Caller's Eric Lieberman reported early Friday afternoon that Google is discontinuing (for now) its "fact-check" feature.
