The people over at MSNBC are so excited for the promised “blue wave” in the midterm elections that they’ve begun to celebrate a bit early.

Media Give One-Sided Coverage on Wage Gap Study, Include No Critics

For years, the liberal media have promoted erroneous claims that women are paid far less than men for the same jobs. So it was only natural, that many outlets would seize on the claims of a new study called “Women Can’t Win.”

Shocker! Immigration Court Judge Orders Deportation on 'The Fosters'

There is a whole lot of virtue-signaling going on about illegal aliens and their right to be in America on Freeform’s The Fosters in the latest episode titled “Makeover” airing March 6. The viewer is explicitly told that American immigration law is racist, old, and in need of revision because a high school student is lecturing us about it.

Historically, the party that occupies the White House loses seats in the midterm elections although there have been several notable exceptions to this rule. And if 2018 proves to be one of those exceptions and the Republicans gain seats in the midterms, Charlie Savage of the New York Times already has an excuse at hand: Russian meddling.

Spicer Rips CNN’s 'Carnival Barker’ Acosta for Whining About Questions

As the Media Research Center’s Curtis Houck reported on Monday, CNN’s Jim Acosta threw a hissy fit following yet another White House press briefing where he wasn’t called on to ask a question (the third by his count). And in a rather enthusiastic appearance on Fox News Channel’s Hannity, former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer ripped into the moody CNN journalist for acting so immaturely.

Bozell & Graham Column: Trump vs. Our Perpetually Panicked Press

When Bill Clinton was president, the liberal media establishment flogged themselves for focusing on scandal over substance. In a four-hour PBS special during the fall election season of 1996, elitist Hedrick Smith confessed: "By focusing on scandal and conflict over substance, and by our increasingly negative tone, the media has distorted the nation's agenda and lost touch with the public we…

Shoddy: NBC Fails to Note Democratic Affiliation of Disgraced Mayor

The former mayor of Nashville, Tennessee Megan Barry was arraigned Tuesday on charges of felony theft for using taxpayer funds to support her affair with her bodyguard.

NYT Turnabout on ‘Baffling’ Trump Comment on Sweden's Immigration Woes

A year after ridiculing President Trump for talking about it, the New York Times acknowledges that Sweden has a crime problem, and suggests very indirectly that it may have something to do with its loose immigration policy – just as the president insisted. In “Grenades and Gang Violence Rattle Sweden,” Ellen Barry and Christina Anderson used the incident of a man killed by a hand grenade in…

President Trump hosted Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven on Tuesday at the White House and, like with most foreign dignitary appearances, the two held a joint press conference featuring two reporters each from their countries.
