CNN's Hill Goes Berzerk After Houck Recalls Blacks Commit More Crime

Monday's New Day on CNN displayed a classic example of how difficult it is to have a conversation with a liberal about racial issues.

UK Media: 'Remain' Voters Turn to Therapy to Deal With Brexit Result

For over two weeks now, the press has insisted, based on almost no evidence, that many UK citizens who voted to leave the European Union weren't all that informed, didn't appreciate the implications of their vote, and now regret their decision. Two examples signify the press's desperation to cling to this meme.

Rolling Stone Writer: Racist Voters, Not Racist Cops, Are the Problem

After last week’s police-involved fatal shootings in Baton Rouge and suburban St. Paul, Jeb Lund argued that such deaths happen not because of a few racist cops, but because over the past five decades millions of voters have rewarded politicians who propose and enact racist laws. In an article that appeared Thursday prior to the murder of five police officers in Dallas, Lund declared that “both…

CNN: Is Racism After Electing Obama Like a Shake After Exercising?

On Sunday, as CNN host Fareed Zakaria devoted the entire first half hour of his Fareed Zakaria GPS show to a discussion of racial tensions in the U.S. with regard to police interactions with the black population, at one point he went over the top by wondering if the existence of racism in the U.S. after the election of a black President was similar to, "after you go to the gym, you feel like you'…

NYT, Still Fighting Brexit, Crams Paper With Art Snobs and 'Racism'

Wednesday’s New York Times was crammed with condescension and hostility toward racist Brexit voters. Rachel Donadio had previously “credited” “a campaign of open xenophobia” for the victory of the Leave choice.
