WashPost's Eugene Robinson Echoes Rush: I Hope Trump Fails

November 15th, 2016 10:14 PM
Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson wrote a piece for Tuesday's paper headlined "I wish the president-elect failure on his cruel initiatives."

Naturally, Limbaugh addressed the contrasting opinions on his show on Tuesday.

E.J. Dionne Goes Bonkers Over Trump Victory

November 10th, 2016 9:50 PM
Less than a month after gloatingly predicting a major loss for Donald Trump, Washington Post columnist reacted on Wednesday to the election result in a highly bitter manner. Poor guy. His Beltway Bubble safe space is about to be punctured by those he spent over a year sneering at and his column reflects his rage.

On Thursday's New Day, during a panel discussion of the scheduled meeting at the White House between President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump, and whether the two would be cordial despite their differences, co-host Alisyn Camerota at one point wondered why it is that President Obama "has to be gracious" to Trump instead of just sending an intern to meet him.

Liberal WashPost Endorsements: 6 to 1 in Favor of Democrats

November 8th, 2016 8:11 PM
Considering the liberal bias of the Washington Post, it's probably not shocking that the papers’s official endorsements for various offices include six Democrats and just one Republican. Naturally, the paper endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. In Maryland, the Post gave the nod to four Democrats. For Congress, Anthony Brown, John Delaney and Jamie B. Raskin. In the Senate race, the editorial…

Former NPR CEO: Abandoning Objectivity Is 'Price to Pay' to Stop Trump

November 4th, 2016 10:00 PM
A Wednesday column at Vanity Fair by former National Public Radio CEO Ken Stern started on a promising track, but ended up in the same place as the rest of the establishment press: Donald Trump must lose, even if the press has to abandon all semblance of fairness and objectivity to accomplish that task. Stern observed the obviously unbalanced presidential race coverage at the Washington Post with…

New Republic Writer: Trump, Pro-Lifers Prone to Simplistic Thinking

October 30th, 2016 6:10 PM
Generally, pro-lifers support Donald Trump not because they believe he’s truly one of them, but because he’s clearly preferable to Hillary Clinton. Sarah Jones, however, claims Trump is “the candidate the pro-life movement deserves.” That’s not meant as a compliment to either Trump or pro-lifers. Jones wrote that “Trump understood that he simply needed to repeat a few pieces of boilerplate in…

Catherine Rampell, Washington Post columnist and former New York Times business reporter, had some no-doubt well-meant advice for the Republican Party in her Monday column: “Want to save the Republican Party?

WashPost Columnist Crashes, Burns on FNC While Fumbling for Quotes

October 25th, 2016 4:19 PM
"Oh, um. Let's see. Um. That would have been onnnn... Uhhhh.... Let's see if I have the date exactly... It would have been onnnnn.... 'Lock her up' would have been onnnn..." No, I am not indulging in a bit too much of fermented extract of sugar cane. Instead I am directly quoting "conservative" Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin as she stuggled in a most hilarious fumbling way on The O'…
