On December 9, Gainor and Fox Business Network’s Intelligence Report host Trish Regan discussed the left-wing media’s “feeding frenzy” on conservative fake news stories. “It’s more risk to the rest of us, but…

AP, Several Other Outlets Ignore Hillary's 2005 Flag-Burning Bill
Well now. The press has been raking President-Elect Donald Trump over the coals for proposing "consequences" for burning the American flag.
It's especially rich to see leftists like Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post invoke the name of the otherwise completely despised late Antonin Scalia, who was considered the tie-breaking Supreme Court Justice in the 1989 case when the Court ruled that flag-…
Press Is Largely Ignoring Recent Awesome Fossil Fuel-Related News
Since Donald Trump's election, environmental zealots have mostly had a very rough two weeks — and Donald Trump has had nothing to do with any of it. Two developments they consider really bad (meaning good for the rest of us) far outweigh the single item they're celebrating. First, in Wyoming, just two days after the election, their "fracking is bad" Exhibit A in Pavillion, Wyoming was completely…
The Times, The Post, and the Fake News of Internment Camps
So the latest round of sheer nuttiness from the mainstream media? The idea that President-elect Trump intends to resurrect the infamous and quite decidedly racist “internment camps” established for Japanese-American citizens in 1942. How did this start? It started last week on FNC’s The Kelly File during a segment with Trump surrogate and former Navy Seal Carl Higbie (whom I know).
LA Times Boosts 'Fake News' List That Smears Conservative Sites

LA Times: 'Trump is President. What Do We Tell Our Children?'
Donald Trump’s election is so horrifying to liberals, some are struggling to explain the scary monster to their children. A terrified-sounding L.A. Times columnist Michelle Maltis, on Wednesday, cried out: “Parents always want to be able to say to their children, ‘You are safe.’ But at this moment, there are millions of Americans who cannot say that convincingly, even to themselves.”

Natl. Press Fails to Spot Alarming Trend After Two More Slain Cops
Three police officers were shot by a gang member Saturday afternoon in Palm Springs, California. Two of them have died. The third suffered nonlife-threatening injuries and was expected to leave the hospital Sunday. Once again, the deadly motivation seen in Dallas and Baton Rouge just three months ago, the desire "to shoot police," emerged. With the exception of one local newspaper, the press is…
LA Times Reporters Tag Utterly True Statement by Pence 'Misleading'
Apparently Kurtis Lee and Seema Mehta at the Los Angeles Times have access to a special Newspeak news media version of the dictionary which contains a definition of "misleading" differing from the real dictionary: "deceptive; tending to mislead" ("mislead" as a verb primarily means "to lead or guide wrongly; lead astray"). They're using their Newspeak definition to claim that a completely factual…

LA Times: Anti-Transgender Bias, the 'Real Threat to Public Health'
The Los Angeles Times is a willing participant in the ongoing “progressive” crusade to reclassify social conservatism as a mental illness. On Tuesday, the largest newspaper in the West posted an op-ed headlined “Being transgender isn’t a mental illness. What’s sick is a society that treats it that way.”
Conservatives are the sickos threatening public health, he claimed: "Medical opinion on the…

More High-Paying Jobs Leave California; State's Press Is Unconcerned
Another major employer has decided to join the long list of companies moving jobs from California to more business-friendly states. This time, it's $12 billion titan Jacobs Engineering, which is moving its "corporate operations," almost definitely meaning its headquarters, from Pasadena to Dallas, Texas. Press reaction, especially outside of business-oriented outlets, has ranged from nonexistent…
LA Times Touts Bogus 7-Year 'Expansion,' Despite 2 Negative Quarters
Taking a cue from the Associated Press's Martin Crutsinger in March of last year, two Los Angeles Times reporters told readers on Monday that the economy is about to complete a seventh year of expansion. No it's not, at least not if historical benchmarks for determining expansions are consistently and properly heeded.
Reporters Jim Puzzanghera and Don Lee couldn't even keep their own standards…
