Obeidallah Lamely Jokes Trump Will Appoint David Duke to Supreme Court

Appearing as a panel member on Sunday's AM Joy on MSNBC, liberal comedian and Daily Beast columnist Dean Obeidallah injected lame comedy into the show's final segment as he cracked that, in the week ahead, Donald Trump might pick David Duke as a Supreme Court justice or someone who "hates the environment" for EPA administrator.

MTP: NYT’s Helene Cooper Praises Castro, Scolds ‘American View’

In the wake of the death of Cuba’s brutal dictator, Fidel Castro, President Barack Obama released a statement that failed to condemn him for his crimes. The statement left NBC’s Meet The Press moderator Chuck Todd perplexed on Sunday, asking The New York Times’ Helene Cooper “Why was it so positive?” Cooper blamed Todd’s confusion on “a very Americano-centric view of Cuba,” and argued that Obama…

New Republic Writer: Obama Showed Us the Path to American Greatness

According to TNR’s Lovia Gyarkye, one of the less tangible things President Obama has tried to forge is “a liberalism that fuses identity politics with the idea of American greatness.” As for Obama’s successor, “the answer to the Trump presidency is not to abandon the progress we have made. It is not to yearn for the past glories of a nation that has wronged so many people. It is to do the hard…

'Sex' Actress Avoids 'Trump People,' Wants to Disappear Into the Woods

It appears another Hollywood liberal has succumbed to the manufactured paranoia of the election of Donald Trump as president, almost three weeks ago. Actress Kristin Davis – most famous for her role as the prissy Manhattanite Charlotte York on HBO’s Sex and the City – said in a recent interview that she fears for her 5-year old black adopted daughter, Gemma.  She also told Rebecca Carroll of…

Media Mum? Keith Ellison in 2012: Nazis 'Attacked Pearl Harbor'

The leftist press give gaffes made by Republicans years and even decades of shelf life. They roasted Bush 41 Vice President Dan Quayle for years for adding a "e" at the end of "potato" with the "help" of a flashcard which had the word spelled incorrectly — not only in the press, but also on the late-night talks shows. Gaffes by Democrats, liberals and even far-lefties tend to get a complete pass…

David Brooks: Trump Team Are 'Headbanger Guns N' Roses Conservatives'

On their Friday Week in Politics segment on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered newscast, they discussed just how “ultraconservative” the early Trump cabinet picks are.  No one eight years ago discussed how “ultraliberal” Barack Obama’s administration would get.  But New York Times columnist David Brooks at least made this discussion of extremism amusing  by suggesting Trumpians were “…

Geraldo: Castro Not 'All Awful,' 'Will Be Remembered Fondly'

In a Saturday morning appearance on Fox & Friends, Geraldo Rivera, who interviewed Fidel Castro in 1977 when he worked at ABC News, mostly defended the Cuban dictator whose death was announced Friday night.

Time Magazine and the Media’s Normalization of Racism

The dateline: October 24, 2015. The cover of Time magazine? Art work of Donald Trump’s hair and face- melting. The headline: “Total Meltdown.” In fact, the cover was the second Time cover depicting a melting Donald, the first running in August of 2016 and titled simply: “Meltdown”

Laughable: Liberal Director Wants Holiday 2017 Film Trashing Cheney

Next Christmas we’ll have Hollywood’s latest attack on a prominent conservative gift wrapped under our tree. Notoriously liberal Adam McKay is writing and directing a new film focused on Vice President Dick Cheney. The film is slated to go into production early next year for a late 2017 release.

Flashback: The Media’s Decades of Cheering Castro’s Communism

Fidel Castro’s communist regime executed hundreds of political opponents and drove tens of thousands more into exile; hundreds of dissidents today languish in Cuban prisons. Yet liberals in the U.S. media — who rightly condemned such abuses when perpetrated by dictators such as Chile’s Augusto Pinochet — inexplicably remain enchanted with Castro and his socialist revolution. For almost 30 years,…

Bozell & Graham Column: The Hilarious 'Hamilton' Hubbub

Vice President-Elect Mike Pence was in New York with his family during the transition, and so he took his family to Broadway to see Hamilton, the hot hip-hop Founding Father musical  that people are overpaying to see. What resulted wasn’t exactly surprising. Rude, obnoxious -- but not surprising. But at the curtain call, Pence was singled out for an impolite leftist lecture from the stage about…

Reporters Hail Castro: ‘George Washington,’ ‘Folk Hero to Most of Us’

Fidel Castro was a tyrant who oppressed Cubans and brought misery to many for several decades and while much of the breaking news coverage emphasized that reality, some journalists couldn’t resist crediting him for supposed great advancements in education, literacy and health care. ABC’s Jim Avila went so far as to tout how Castro “was considered, even to this day, the George Washington of his…

Weekend Update co-host Colin Joke’s fake news included this:  “The dating app Tinder announced a new feature this week, which gives users 37 different gender identity options.
