January 19th, 2018 4:48 PM
The Daily Caller's Eric Lieberman reported early Friday afternoon that Google is discontinuing (for now) its "fact-check" feature.

Google's Fact-Checker Targets Conservatives, Ignores Left-Wing Media

January 9th, 2018 5:47 PM
Google’s new fact-checker is just as bias as you would expect. On Tuesday, The Daily Caller reported that the feature, for the most part, only targets conservative sites. For example, both The Daily Caller and Daily Wire are fact checked (and mostly incorrectly as the two sites point out), but Vox, HuffPost, ThinkProgress, Slate, Salon, Mother Jones, and Daily Kos are not.

Honoring 2017's Bulldogs

December 27th, 2017 3:01 PM
There are talkers and doers, sowers of dissatisfaction seeds and agents of lasting change. Much of my column work over the year is dedicated to exposing the worst crapweasels in politics, pop culture, media and the policy arena. But to ring out 2017, I'm raising a toast to some of my favorite bulldogs -- vigilant citizens, independent journalists and bloggers, and dedicated activists who work…

Acosta Follows Press Tradition: Harass GOP Admins, Go Easy on Dems

December 13th, 2017 6:51 AM
CNN's insufferably self-important Jim Acosta made the news all about himself once again on Tuesday.

Media Ignore Real Democratic Scandals

October 21st, 2017 2:15 PM

Why the collective liberal media yawn on the multi-headed Democratic scandals surfacing everywhere except on their pages and airwaves?
