At the Massachusetts Conference for Women on Wednesday, so-called "feminist icon" and late-1990s Bill Clinton apologist and enabler Gloria Steinem made a big deal out the fact that she never has and never will call Donald Trump "president" — to her, he's the "harasser in chief" — while claiming that Trump "lost" last year's general election by "10 million votes."

WashPost Glorifies NFL Protesters Nominated for Payton Award
Des Bieler of The Washington Post is one of the few sports media making an issue of three NFL protesters who were nominated for the league's Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

Lefty Greenwald Rips CNN for Lack of Transparency with Fake News Story
In an extensive piece published by The Intercept on Saturday, co-founder of the news site Glenn Greenwald excoriated CNN (as well as a host of other news outlets) for recklessly advancing agenda driven stories involving the Russia investigation, with no transparency when the stories blow up in their face and go viral with fake news.
WashPost Tries to Shift Fake-News Blame from CNN to Trump Jr.
The Washington Post enjoys playing the game “Heads We Win, Tails You Lose” when anonymous sources lead journalists into looking stupid.

At what little is left of Newsweek, reporter John Haltiwanger published a story on the unfortunate deaths of several pets in Vice President Mike Pence's family during the past two years.

Gay Filmmaker's Curse: Soften a Righty Relative By Licking Their Chair

A Friday morning attempt by the Associated Press's Tia Goldenberg to "explain" the "US pivot on Jerusalem" failed to make three crucial points: First, that three ultimately victorious U.S. presidential candidates promised that they would formally recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and failed to deliver on those promises; second, that just six months ago, the United States Senate…
Churlish NYT Refuses to Credit Trump for Economy: 'Tax Cuts May Burn'
Saturday’s New York Times lead desperately tried to spin away the strong Trump economy by warning of hypothetical dangers from a tax cut plan that’s not passed into law yet or even set in stone yet: “Sizzling Economy Carries Warning: Tax Cuts May Burn – Concerns of Inflation – Jobs Report Lifts Trump but Raises Specter of ‘Boom-Bust Cycle.” It's a churlish pattern on the part of the paper, which…
Chelsea Handler Leaves Home Because Trump 'Setting the World on Fire'
If it weren’t for bad luck, liberal comedian Chelsea Handler would have no luck at all. First, her eponymous talk show on the Netflix pay cable television channel is being canceled at the end of the year, and now, her announcement that she’s moving out of her house because President Donald Trump is “literally and figuratively” “setting the world on fire” was met with anger and derision from her…
