AP Consults Spy Novelists to Hype Trump-Russia Fake News
Now that the Trump-Russia fake news story is crumbling as Rolling Stone writer Matt Taibbi warned liberals, how can the mainstream media continue to report on this fact-free topic? Simple. By invoking masters of fiction in the form of spy novelists. Therefore it is appropriate that Associated Press writer Hillel Italie consulted several of those fiction writers to comment on fake news fiction.

Nets Allow 43 Seconds on Illegal Crossings Plummeting Since Trump
Illegal border crossings have plummeted since Donald Trump took office, down a considerable 40 percent.

The three morning shows have an available eight hours of air time.

Actor Playing Press Secretary Lectures Spicer On How to Do His Job
On Wednesday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, actor and former Obama staffer Kal Penn appeared to talk about his new show Designated Survivor. Since he plays the White House Press Secretary on the fictional show, Kimmel asked Penn if Sean Spicer influenced his acting at all.

Trevor Noah on CNN: 'What Is an Extreme Liberal?' 'What Is That?'
CNN’s The Messy Truth with Van Jones is meant to be a forum where people of different political stripes come together and have a discussion about what divides the country in an effort to get past it. But during Wednesday’s show, Jones’ guest, The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah tarnished that ideal when he targeted the right. “Realistically, when people are saying this, they're going, 'It's the same.…

CBS’s Pelley Tees-Up Panetta to Smear Trump's Admin as Irrational
In a blatant effort to dirty President Donald Trump’s administration during Wednesday’s CBS Evening News, anchor Scott Pelley interviewed Clinton and Obama administration official Leon Panetta and gave him free reign to discredit the President.

Acosta Wonders If Women’s March Could Mean a Democratic 'Resurgence'
Filling-in as host of CNN’s Inside Politics on Wednesday, chief White House correspondent and Trump sparring partner Jim Acosta did his part for the Day Without a Woman protesters by wondering if it’s symbolized “the makings of a Democratic Party resurgence” and hinting that it would behoove President Trump to remain quiet about this.

MSNBC to Warren: 'Why Didn't Some Good Things Happen in Eight Years?'
During Wednesday's edition of MSNBC Live, host Stephanie Ruhle caught Elizabeth Warren off guard when she asked the Democratic senator from Massachusetts a question she probably did not want to hear: “Why has income inequality failed to get significantly better in the last eight years?” After all, both she and President Barack Obama were in office during that period.
Rolling Stone's Taibbi Warns Democrats & MSM on Trump-Russia Fake News
Be very careful Democrats and your mainstream media allies. The fake news story about collusion between the Donald Trump campaign and Russia is a minefield that could destroy your credibility even beyond conservative skeptics who already don't believe you. So who is making this warning? One of the usual "rightwing" sources? Nope. The warning comes from the very very liberal Matt Taibbi and if you…
AP Report Promoting Pelley Claims CBS Has 'Long Played It Straight'
Associated Press media reporter David Bauder wrote a story Tuesday that overwhelmingly praised CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley for being a “blunt evaluator” of President Trump. Most of the story channels the bizarre idea that these blunt evaluations are somehow not the opposite of an objective method. The lowest point is this completely untrue and unhistorical comment by former CNN reporter…

The left’s anti-Trump marches won’t stop at the end of March.

NYT Online Fails to Cover Strongest ADP Jobs Report in 3 Years
There is little doubt that the big economic news Wednesday was payroll and employee benefits giant ADP's estimate that the economy added 298,000 seasonally adjusted private-sector jobs in February. Over seven hours later, the New York Times did not have the news on its website's home page — or even at its "Business Day" business and financial news web page.

On MSNBC, WashPost's Rubin Slams Trump, Fox 'Nonsense' on Immigration
Appearing as a guest on Tuesday's All In with Chris Hayes, supposedly right-leaning Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin was at it again -- appearing on MSNBC to mostly agree with a liberal host -- as she joined Hayes in fretting over President Donald Trump's proposal for a government agency that tracks criminal activity by non-citizens. After oddly claiming that such an agency would likely…
NYT Admits 'Undocumented' Euphemism for 'Illegal,' After Years of Use
Tuesday’s New York Times tried to surround the story of illegal immigrants with a full-page spread, “The Reality of Illegal Immigrants Who Live in the United States,” from reporters Vivian Yee, Kenan Davis, and Jugal Patel. The story was actually more balanced than the paper’s usual offerings on the subject (starting with that striking use of “Illegal” in the headline). But the story still…

NBC Drowns Out Conservative Criticism of GOP Health Care Bill, 5 Secs
Members of the Republican leadership on Capitol Hill rolled out their replacement for ObamaCare on Tuesday, and it immediately drew fire from both the left and the right.
