Witches Brew: WashPost Promotes Gay Vegan Wiccan
The Washington Post promotes liberals of all stripes. On the Saturday before Halloween, the front of the Style section carried the headline "A witch spells it out: You're responsible for your own reality." David Salisbury is a believer in witchcraft as one way to be a social-justice warrior -- animal rights and environmentalism. The religious right is often covered by the Post as pushing a…

Newsweek Headline: ‘People Will Die If Trump Kills ObamaCare’
Hollywood will do anything to clutch onto the last shreds of the Obama administration. Just ask Alyssa Milano. Newsweek reported that actress Alyssa Milano, former HHS secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and actor Bradley Whitford are out to sell Obamacare. Or as Newsweek puts it: “Get people signed up for insurance through healthcare.gov, even as President Donald Trump tries to get Obamacare to…

'American Horror Story:' All Politics Is Cult of Personality
The focus of American Horror Story: Cult is, as the name would imply, on cult behavior. While that has been the overarching theme, the individual episodes have focused on things like post-election hysteria, racism, and sexual assault. This week, the episode itself actually focused on cults, and cult leader Kai (Evan Peters) said that modern politics are nothing but a cult of personality.

'Blackish' Paints Public Education as Racist, Ignores School Choice
In the October 31 episode of Blackish, the spookiest thing is their take on education. In the episode, "Public Fool," Junior (Marcus Scribner) gets expelled from his fancy private school, which makes him persona non grata at the other private schools in the area. With those off the table, there is only one choice left- public school. Like most things on Blackish, they have to make this a race…

ABC Comedy Declares 'Everything We Have' Is Because Of Unions
ABC’s The Mayor has been leaning to the left more with each episode to the point where they openly advocate for left-leaning politicians. When that’s not possible, I guess they go for the next best thing: left-leaning supporters. This week, they remind us of the important and still totally relevant role of the union in society.

Bozell & Graham Column: The Fusion of Reporting and 'Oppo'
On October 24, The Washington Post reported that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee hired the opposition research firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Donald Trump.

USA Today Libs Lobby for Patriots to Sign Colin Kaepernick
Few media have campaigned for the return of former Colin Kaepernick to the NFL as hard as USA Today sports writers Christine Brennan and Nancy Armour. They are heralding the Cuba-loving/cop-hating pariah as the NFL's top problem solver and its "most valuable voice."

Didn’t Take Long: CNN Leaves NYC Terror to Hype Mueller-Trump
Only a few hours into their coverage of the deadly terror attack in New York City on Tuesday, CNN found it more important to break away to continue to their Robert Mueller marathon. “A terror attack that killed eight people and injured a dozen others when a man in a truck mowed down bike riders and pedestrians on the west side. Much more on that coming up,” declared Wolf Blitzer on The Situation…

CNN's Darcy: 'Some' at Fox See Russia Coverage as 'An Embarrassment'
Monday, as Paul Manafort and others were indicted, the CNN and MSNBC had the following rules for covering the indictments and other matters relating to the Robert Mueller-led investigation into Russia and the 2016 election: 1) Thou shalt only cover matters relating to President Donald Trump and Russia; 2) While doing so, thou shalt ignore Russia's interactions with Bill Clinton and Secretary…

Lefty Journo Claims to Be Arbiter of Truth on Russian Election ‘Hack’
On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, USA Today senior politics and White House reporter Heidi Przybyla reacted to reports about hundreds of millions of alleged Russian Facebook and Twitter impressions by calling for the news media to uncritically accept that Russians “hacked” the election via their activities on social media.

Lefty Ad Update: Illegal Immigrant Actually Chased, Killed Muslim Girl
As this space reported on Monday, a television campaign advertisement for Virginia Democratic Lieutenant Governor Ralph Northam released on October 30 attempted to portray supporters of Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie as “Confederacy-supporting, truck-driving racist murderers who attack minority children.” However, it wasn't long before responses to the make-believe ad indicated…

Spanish Nets Complicitly Silent on Vile Anti-Gillespie Ad
Latino Victory is short, apparently, for Latino Victory At All Costs, as evidenced by the disgusting ad with which the organization has chosen to make a splash in the 2017 Virginia gubernatorial election. More troubling still is the fact that both major domestic Spanish-language television networks have so far ignored both the ad and its blowback in their national evening newscasts.

CNN's Ryan: ‘Does This Administration Believe Slavery Was Wrong?’
CNN went into full trolling mode on Tuesday, wondering if the current administration “thinks slavery is wrong.” Additionally, the network decided it was too much to simply show press briefings with Sarah Huckabee Sanders, CNN must oppose her with an on-screen graphic “correcting” her
