NY Times Book Critic Hails Obama's 'Radical Empathy' & 'Complex Ideas'
Former New York Times chief book critic Michiko Kakutani fulfilled her reputation for sucking up to President Barack Obama (while damning biographies that came up short of hagiography) in her long interview, “Self-Portrait Of a Storyteller And a President." In January 2009 she praised Obama’s "love of fiction and poetry" that "imbued him with a tragic sense of history and a sense of…

SERIOUSLY? Jorge Ramos Whines the Media Wasn’t Hostile Enough to Trump
Univision senior anchor Jorge Ramos has, yet again, found occasion to milk his performative ejection from then-candidate Donald Trump’s 2015 Iowa press conference.

VILE MSNBC: McConnell Is Terrorist Directing Black GOPers Like Puppets
Thursday night’s ReidOut featured one of the ugliest news segments one will ever see. Over the course of eight-plus minutes, MSNBC host Joy Reid and far-left race-hustler Michael Eric Dyson viciously condemned Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as a “racist,” “terrorist,” ventriloquist (or “geppetto”) controlling black Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron (R), and worshipper at “the altar of…
Lefties Mad at Obama For Throwing Cold Water on ‘Defund the Police’
Come on, guys. Everyone knows that beyond instigating a violent insurrection and anarchy against law enforcement, “defund the police” isn’t really a viable campaign policy. Even Barry Obama knows this. In a recent interview, the former president decried the slogan and the radical leftists at Jezebel blasted him for his lack of commitment to their most radical policy dreams.
'View' Fights Over Obama's Advice to Drop 'Defund' the Police
President Obama is taking heat from the progressive wing of his party for saying in a Tuesday interview that younger progressives need to drop terms like “defund the police” to get their agenda accomplished.

Obama’s Slam Of Hispanic Conservatives, Explained
President Barack Obama’s interview with The Breakfast Club, released the day before Thanksgiving, garnered significant news and reaction due to a simple line about Hispanic evangelicals who vote their conscience. But by narrowly focusing on what Obama said, most (if not all) subsequent analyses miss the broader point about which is why that remark is offensive.
CNN's Berman Pushes for McConnell to Show 'Human Decency'

MSNBC's Velshi & Witt Spread Misinformation About Illegal immigration
On Sunday, MSNBC hosts Ali Velshi and Alex Witt both did their part to spread misinformation to their viewers about illegal immigration and border security, with Velshi wrongly claiming that it is not illegal for asylum seekers to cross the border illegally, and Witt letting her guest understate the amount of new border wall built by the Donald Trump administration.
GAG: Colbert Practically Worships Obama on 'Late Show'
Late Show host Stephen Colbert practically bowed down before Barack Obama during a sit-down interview with the former President on his Tuesday night CBS show. The “comedian” started off the show completely mesmerized by Obama, admitting he needed to “drink in” his presence:
Don Lemon: Can't Have Unity with GOP Opposed to 'Science' and 'Facts'
Is there anything funnier than the idea of CNN suggesting it might be time now to come together as Americans? On Friday’s CNN Tonight, host Don Lemon chatted up CNN weekend host Fareed Zakaria to bash Republicans for daring to disagree with CNN. Lemon attacked Trump voters and Republicans as “people who don’t believe in science,” “facts,” and “reality.”
On Friday’s CNN…
Amanpour and Guest Blame Fox News for 'Monstrous' Climate 'Denial'
Journalists despise government efforts to "investigate media power" -- unless it's Rupert Murdoch.

Slimy CNN Defends Left's 2016 Hypocrisy by Denying Basic Reality
