MSNBC Frets New U.S. Attitude With U.N. Could Threaten Global Peace

NBC and MSNBC have been on a crusade during the Christmas season to smear and slam the United States at every opportunity because of the Trump administration’s new direction in dealing with the inept United Nations. During Tuesday’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, fill-in host Ayman Mohyeldin and former Obama-era Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Evelyn Farkas were worried that the U.S. negotiated…

Bad Calls of 2017 Sports: Media, Athletes Hated on 'Bum' Trump

Editor's Note: This is the third of a three-part series on the most outrageous sports quotes of 2017.   Spoiled by eight years of the Obama Administration, liberal sports media, coaches and athletes lashed out frequently and angrily at the new commander in chief in 2017. They loved it when basketball star LeBron James (see photo) called the president "u bum" in a tweet and when other…

S.E. Cupp: Slamming Media Is 'Dangerous,' Fox News Is Dictator's Tool

CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter offers a weekly guest list full of liberal journalists, and then occasionally he interviews a conservative....if the objective is to offer a conservative underlining one of Stelter's favorite points. That happened again on Christmas Eve, when S.E. Cupp, host of a talk show on HLN (a sister network of CNN), sounded the company talking points on how the "…

Has the NY Times Made Steinem's 1998 Defense of Clinton Disappear?

The Associated Press's failure to report Gloria Steinem’s early-December howler about how Donald Trump supposedly "lost" the 2016 presidential election "by 10 million votes" which I noted in a December 10 NewsBusters post is consistent with the press’s history of preventing leftists' most provocative and controversial statements from becoming widely known. The press considers Steinem a feminist “…

Camerota Frets Employees May Vote GOP After Pay Increases

As Michigan Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell appeared as a guest on Tuesday's New Day, CNN host Alisyn Camerota at one point seemed to fret that businesses are planning to pay out bonuses after the tax cuts were passed as a way of making their employees grateful to Republicans for their pay increase and coax them to vote for the GOP -- and that the ploy might succeed.

WashPost Worries Tax Cuts Will Spur Middle Class to Stop Donating

On Christmas Eve, The Washington Post found another reason to suggest the Trump tax cut was a terrible policy: Middle-class people would stop giving to charity. That’s a bit insulting, to insist that most Americans only donate to get a tax break. Liberals insisted this was another disturbing demonstration of Republicans pushing wealth inequality.

CBS Ignores Guatemala As First to Follow U.S. Recognizing Jerusalem

On Monday, CBS This Morning was alone among the morning newscasts in ignoring Guatemala's announcement that it will be first to follow the U.S. lead and recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and move its embassy there.

NYT Reads Trump Fist: 'What My Whiteness Allows Me to Get Away With'

At least one part of Amanda Hess’s job at the New York Times is making whites feel guilty about sharing black-themed “memes” (humorous images or clips and text combinations) on the internet -- or as she uncompromisingly terms them, “Digital Blackface.” The hypersensitive Hess was again seeing racism in other normal things in her introduction to the paper’s special year-end section on Sunday, “The…

NYT’s Cohen: ‘Terrorized Toadies’ Love Trump, ‘Mussolini’s Understudy'

The New York Times Roger Cohen composed an inspired masterpiece of anti-Trump oratorical obloquy: “Wondering, If This Is America.” Cohen, an international columnist for the paper born in London, mustered his high indignation not only of President Trump (aka “Mussolini’s understudy”) but of America itself. Cohen sold his Saturday edition article on Twitter as “Turkmenistan-on-the-Potomac: If This…

Bad Calls of '17: NFL Fumbles Reputation, Drives for Social Justice

Editor's Note: This is the second of a three-part series on the most outrageous sports quotes of 2017. This may be news to some, but the National Football League exists, in part, to influence legislative change. Lobbying Congress is now an important part of the league's mission, right up there with the administration of a professional football league. That's what we observed during the 2017 NFL…
