Networks Play Up Tariff ‘Fallout,’ But Ignore Good Economic News

Once again, the broadcast networks have proven they care more about economic news that makes President Donald Trump look bad, than stories that make him look good. On June 25, CNBC reported that its All-America Economic Survey found “more than half the public approving” of the president’s economic decisions for the first time and more people who said the economy was “good or excellent” than in…

MSNBC: Harassment of Trump Officials a Tool to Avoid Genocide

Over the weekend, MSNBC repeatedly failed to condemn the removal of Sarah Huckabee Sanders from a Virginia restaurant because of her political affiliation. The story received only minutes of coverage, often being squeezed into the last moments of a program in favor of wall-to-wall coverage of the immigration crisis, but the tacit approval of the removal was remarkable.

Wrong Man to Lead Protest: Whitlock Says Kaepernick Strategy Flawed

In a Daily Wire interview with Ben Shapiro, Fox Sports 1's Jason Whitlock said pro football pariah Colin Kaepernick has adopted a flawed political strategy of kneeling for the national anthem to raise awareness for police brutality.
