The Parkland Protesters, 'Polite' as You Can Imagine? Like Saints?

On Monday, it appeared The New Yorker was having a contest for most ludicrous statement about the left-wing Parkland school protesters. First, Emily Witt claimed these slash-and-burn NRA haters "have been as polite and popular protesters can hope to be." The Hold My Beer moment came from Rebecca Mead, who compared Emma "We Call BS" Gonzalez to Joan of Arc.

MRC Announces ‘Fact-Checking the Fact-Checkers’ Project!

RESTON, VA – The Media Research Center (MRC) on Tuesday announced its new project Fact-Checking the Fact-Checkers.

NYT Leaves GOP ‘Scrambling...Defensive' Over Anti-Gun Protests in 2018

Taking a clear anti-gun stand, the New York Times sent a platoon of reporters worldwide to cover the anti-gun March for Our Lives for Sunday’s lead slot. On Monday, the paper pivoted to the November elections, with Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin pressuring Republicans on the front page: “Gun Protests Leave Republicans Scrambling as Midterms Loom.” It’s the same gun-hostile, NRA-obsessed…

CNN’s Stelter Admits He Let Hogg Get Away With Lies About Guns, NRA

It’s not often that CNN media reporter Brian Stelter is honest about his blatant biases when it comes to politics, just take his assertions about the President’s mental fitness and his denials of making such connections. But during an appearance on the Monday edition of HLN’s S.E. Cupp Unfiltered, the Reliable Sources host appeared to let it slip that he let radical anti-gun activist David Hogg…

Getting the Tweens Early, Viacom Style

Earlier this month, the world-famous toy store chain Toys “R” Us announced it was it was liquidating its assets and going out of business, closing all 735 US stores by June. If that and the fact that over 33,000 jobs will be lost doesn’t convince you how kids today are living in a different world than the past few generations before them, look no further than this past weekend’s Nickelodeon Kids…

Media Critic Touts Leakers: ‘True Patriots’ ‘Protecting’ Us from Trump

One of the major joys for a liberal journalist covering the Trump White House is arguably when they get a leak that can embarrass the administration. They’re such an integral part of their strategy against Trump that “anonymous sources” are key to many of their major stores. And despite some of their faulty information, they are praised and defended. That was true during Sunday’s Reliable Sources…

Barf: Joe Scarborough Is Forcing His Music on People Again

Stop Joe Scarborough before he sings again. The smug, 54-year-old Morning Joe host created another music video on Monday, using footage of the pro-gun control March for Our Lives inter-cut with the song "Stand." The video aired at the very end of Monday’s show. Scarborough introduced: “That does it for us this morning. Before Chris Jansing picks up the coverage, we leave you with some more images…

Despite devoting two full segments, totaling over 11 minutes, to an interview with former Hillary Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri, on her Monday 9:00 a.m. ET hour show, NBC anchor Megyn Kelly failed to ask about the losing Democratic nominee’s recent bitter tirade against voters who did not support her in 2016.

Of Course: Toobin Takes Shot at Trump in 'The Americans' Review

Donald Trump! So all-powerful that he can infect the minds of liberals 24/7. Much as they try, they just can't stop thinking about him. A case in point is poor Jeffrey Toobin. He wrote a review of The Americans in the April 2 New Yorker that took place in a time frame of no later than a quarter century ago.
