New Republic Writer: The GOP Is About ‘Revenge,’ Not Governing
Deliberately polluting the air with high-volume diesel exhaust isn’t just a pastime for nihilists -- it’s an expression of “the key animating ethos in the decision-making process” of the Republican Party, claims Brian Beutler. The activity is known as “rolling coal,” and, as Beutler sees it, three years ago it resembled “many Obama-era protest trends” in that it was “a kind of obnoxious primal…
Dishonest Maddow: No ‘Major Scandals’ Under Obama
If an administration is rife with scandal, and no one is around to cover it, is it still a scandal-ridden administration?
Rachel Maddow, back Tuesday night from the illness that had kept her off of the air for over a week, apparently thinks not. Speaking of the Obama administration, she claimed the following.
Politico and AJC Skip Dem Screw Up in Georgia Race
Candidate struck dumb by opponent's question. Would that not strike you as a dramatic moment in a political debate? You probably would agree and so do most media outlets that reported on the June 6 debate between Karen Handel and Jon Ossoff running in the June 20 special election for Georgia's 6th Congressional District. In fact many reports headlined the moment that Ossoff was asked by Handel…
Morning Joe: Talk Radio and Conservatives Cause 'Political Tribalism'
On Wednesday’s edition of Morning Joe, panel members chose to decry the current political climate of the U.S. by reviving the old attack on talk radio and conservatives. Steve Schmidt, senior campaign strategist for the 2008 McCain presidential campaign, began by connecting political "tribalism” with “the conservative commentator on the radio that talks about half the country being his enemy.”…
CNN's Camerota Sympathizes with Valerie Jarrett
On Wednesday morning, CNN New Day co-host Alisyn Camerota interviewed former senior advisor to President Obama Valerie Jarrett.
Camerota’s first question was a tough one: “So what is it like for you and President Obama to watch the Trump administration unfold?”
CNN Goes Bonkers: Spends 10 Hours on Comey Before Testimony
Former FBI Director James Comey has not said a single word in public, but the liberal media have been salivating for days over his upcoming testimony on Thursday. Case in point: from noon on Thursday (June 1) when the date for the testimony was set, until noon today (June 7), CNN has already devoted more than 10 hours of coverage to testimony that has yet to even occur. Their "Comey Countdown”…
BuzzFeed Thinks Trump is Responsible For School Bullying
While many people would like to attribute misogyny, climate change, and terrorism to the POTUS, BuzzFeed reporters are here to tell you that Trump is causing your child to bully or be bullied. In a report released on Tuesday, BuzzFeed News “confirmed more than 50 incidents, across 26 states, which a K-12 student involved Trump’s name or message in an apparent effort to harass a classmate.” Since…
CBS, NBC Hype Sinister Claim That Trump Will Make Leaker ‘Disappear’
CBS and NBC on Wednesday promoted the paranoid theory that the Trump administration will do something sinister to accused NSA leaker Reality Winner. The morning shows repeatedly, and uncritically, included the claim from her mom that “they would maker her disappear.” In other words, the Trump government would have her killed?
Lauer: Trump Guilty of ‘Emotional Definition’ of Obstruction?
Matt Lauer is not a legal scholar, but apparently the morning show host likes to play one on TV. On Wednesday’s NBC Today, while lamenting reports that former FBI Director James Comey would not accuse President Trump of obstruction of justice during his congressional testimony on Thursday, Lauer still tried find a crime by absurdly claiming that Trump’s actions surrounding the Russia…
Media Yawn as Graphic Play Features Trump Getting Stabbed to Death
On the heels of comedian Kathy Griffin essentially sending a death threat to our president, one play in New York is also stretching the limits of what can be considered “free speech.” Shakespeare in the Park, a Summer program series hosted by New York’s Public Theater, has modernized Shakespeare’s classic play Julius Caesar, starring Donald Trump and Melania as the protagonist and his wife…
NPR Talks Up Trump as Watergate II, But Gets Misty About....Saddam?
This sounds like a bad joke. While NPR is offering stories on how President Trump is corrupt enough for impeachment like Nixon the Sequel, they make time for stories about how American soldiers got PTSD because they formed a complex human bond with the prisoner they guarded before his hanging....Saddam Hussein. This actually happened.
Nets Blackout the Radical Leftist History of NSA Leaker Reality Winner
Not long after top-secret documents from the National Security Agency made their way onto the internet news site The Intercept on Monday, the Justice Department arrested NSA contractor Reality Winner. The 25-year-old Air Force veteran worked on a military base in Georgia, but online she had a long history of being heavily anti-Trump, an apparent social justice warrior, and a supporter of Iran…
Bozell & Graham Column: The CNN 'Scholar' Throwing Excrement
CNN wants to brand itself as the "one nonpartisan cable news network." But that would be false. It's refuted by partisans like CNN host Reza Aslan who tweeted Donald Trump was "this piece of s--t." CNN lamely sent out a flack to say Aslan was not a “CNN employee” – as if this meant anything. Aslan “apologized” by insisting “that’s not like me” to respond in such a “derogatory fashion.” That is…
Just Tell Me If It's Raining: Weather.com Loses It Post-Paris Decision
Opening Weather.com to find my hometown’s weather report this past Friday came as an unpleasant surprise. Several apocalyptic articles attempting to scare readers (or, more appropriately, weather-report-seekers) of the dangers of pulling out of the Paris accord cluttered the website. Apparently, it is no longer possible to search the web for rain predictions without being force-fed politically…
