Barely News: Company CEO 'Asks' Trump-Supporting Employees to Resign

November 11th, 2016 10:49 AM

Press Lets Hillary Take Two Bogus Partisan Shots at Comey, Congress

October 29th, 2016 10:46 AM
They can't help themselves. For Democrats, the Clinton campaign, and presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, everything reflecting negatively on them must be cast in a partisan light — even something as petty as the party affiliation of the congressional addressees of a letter from the FBI.

Venezuela Descends Into Dictatorship, With Minimal News Visibility

October 16th, 2016 9:39 PM
As the National Football League's Week 6 went into full swing Sunday, it has become clear that its TV ratings plunge is real, serious, and having a bottom-line impact. At the same time, there's a growing determination in the establishment press to avoid citing the "(Colin) Kaepernick effect" of player protests during the playing of the national anthem as a contributing factor.
