Kelly has said that she’s “kind of done with politics for now,” and that she’d like her hour to be “a unifying force” in a sundered America.

The Real Vegas Villains? Media Blame Gun Owners For Latest Shooting 

The media’s inevitable exploitation of the Las Vegas shooting to rip up the Second Amendment was sickeningly swift.

Liberal Media Blast Trump Tax Plan: ‘Lie,’ ‘Boondoggle,’ ‘Cowardice’

The liberal media pounced immediately on the release of President Donald Trump’s outline for tax reform calling it “one big lie,” complaining about tax “cuts for the wealthy,” and saying the plan “stinks.” Columnists and editorials spewed the most venom, but news reports were also biased and often turned to “an early analysis” from the liberal Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.

‘Spurious’ But Accurate? NYT Uses Straw Man to Fight Gun Chart

The mass shooting in Las Vegas has led to liberal media prodding for gun control, even infecting so called fact-checking features, like the recently established one in the New York Times.
