Media Prematurely Dancing on Trump’s Political Grave
Donald Trump’s first year in office isn’t even half over but the liberal media is ready to bury it. Journalists went crazy over the James Comey dismissal with constant comparisons to Watergate.

Is MSNBC Tiring of Lawrence O’Donnell’s Lunatic Conspiracy Theories?
According to the Huffington Post on Monday, liberal MSNBC anchor Lawrence O’Donnell’s future at the network is “unclear” and a renewal of his contract “doesn’t appear to be on the horizon.” Writer Yashar Ali explained that O’Donnell “has just four weeks left in his contract, and the cable network does not appear to be interested in renewing his deal.”
Writer: MSNBC Boss Prefers the ‘Mushy Center’ to Profitable Liberalism
For a real-life example of how to succeed in business without really trying, check out the “Lean Forward” channel, suggests The Week’s Ryan Cooper.
