ABC: 'Without Any Proof,' Trump Cites Federal Workers Who Want a Wall

On Wednesday's Good Morning America, ABC reporter Tara Palmieri picked on the president for "griping" and "fuming" about the border wall, and then sneered "As the government remains partially closed for the fifth day, the president claiming without any proof that 400,000 federal employees working without pay over the holidays support his position."

Jimmy, Jim, Jim: Here Are the Worst Acosta Moments of 2018

To put it objectively, CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta had quite the 2018. Whether he was throwing temper tantrums in White House briefings over CNN’s issue of the day or not being called on, 2018 saw Acosta become a hate object of sorts and a broader symbol of how much CNN loves CNN. For a year that began with him tussling with Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and ended with…

Bozell & Graham Column: The Media Was Still Unglued in 2018

President Trump has been in office for almost two years, which should mean that by now, all the crazy talk in the media about his impending dictatorship ought to be abandoned. Democracy is still vibrant, as we saw with record voter turnout in November. But the wild conspiracy theories about Trump never stop. Some of them qualify as the worst media quotes of the year.

WashPost's Milbank Paints Trump as Soviet 'Man in the High Castle'

The oppositional ardor that Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank directs at President Donald Trump is never-ending in its silliness. Milbank's latest absurdity is that Trump is a Soviet version of "The Man in the High Castle." In other words he is calling the president a traitor doing the bidding of Russian (not Soviet) leader Vladimir Putin.

Carl Bernstein: Trump 'Unfit to Be the President' After Mattis Resigns

CNN’s Reliable Sources used to be a show about journalism and media ethics. In the Trump era, it’s all about Trump and conservatives ruining America.

It’s that time of the year as seemingly every news organization offers reflections on the top stories of 2018. But no year-in-review compilation would be sufficient for a site like this one without a post dedicated to the buffoonery offered to the masses by MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews.

NB Year in Review: Tracking the Media's Hate for Conservatives

In 2018 there was a torrent of ugliness directed at conservatives. Vice President Mike Pence was disgustingly derided as a “dangerous” Christian with a “mental illness” on ABC’s The View. When White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was hounded by leftist activists at a Virginia restaurant, The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin praised them as she condemned: “Sarah Huckabee has no right…
