Clinton Pal Stephanopoulos Talks to Clinton Pal Davis on Cohen

Who better than former Bill Clinton operative Lanny Davis to talk with former Bill Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos about Michael Cohen pleading guilty?

However, this connection was most egregious when Good Morning America’s Stephanopoulos interviewed him.

Media Drool Over Michael Cohen Plea Deal: Trump’s ‘Watergate'

This morning, the news and cable networks were abuzz with talk of “Watergate” and impeachment, salivating over the idea that Michael Cohen’s plea deal would lead to Trump’s ousting. Over and over again, the media compared the betrayal of the President’s former personal lawyer to Nixon’s scandal, calling Trump an “unindicted co-conspirator” in a scandal that was as big as Watergate.

Closing out his CNN show on Tuesday on a bad day for President Trump, Chris Cuomo asserted in his “Closing Argument” that Tuesday was “a bad day” for America because the President’s supporters still boisterously cheered him at a rally and thus didn’t boo him in light of the Cohen and Manafort cases. Cuomo also appeared to hilariously assert that either the media or country writ large don’t “want…

The Boston Globe successfully organized a campaign to get nearly 350 newspapers, large and small, to publish an editorial on August 16 “on the dangers of the administration's assault on the press.” They laughably claimed "This whole project is not anti-Trump. It's really pro-press.”

How to Keep Aretha’s Music Playing

What does a white boy from the white suburbs of Washington, D.C., have to say about the passing of soul singer Aretha Franklin? At 16, I was a DJ on a local radio station, playing the rock ‘n’ roll and doo-wop recordings of the day. Many of the artists were black. Richard Penniman (aka “Little Richard”) tells a funny story about white kids back then. In “Hail, Hail, Rock ‘n’ Roll,” the 1987…

Carlson: Media Downplay of Captured Illegal's Record is 'Propaganda'

During Monday’s Tucker Carlson Tonight, the eponymous host opened the show by slamming the media for their scant coverage of “the new numbers on the drug crisis in America,” which found that “more than 70,000 Americans died of drug ODs in America last year.” According to Carlson, the media sees the drug crisis as “just middle America dying, no big deal.” He then contrasted the non-coverage of the…

Telemundo Report on ICE Homage Plays Up Anti-Agency Forces

In a Monday Telemundo News report about a Trump event honoring the members of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agency, anchor José Díaz-Balart seemed more intent on promoting the Abolish-ICE movement, with a large portion of the 46-second report spent on “the group of Democrats”, as opposed to the actual event held in the White House.
