Monday night’s OutFront saw fill-in host Jake Tapper anchor another off-the-rails segment hours after a disastrous installment of The Lead that saw GQ’s Julia Ioffe falsely claim that the President has radicalized more people than ISIS (which was followed over 40 minutes later by a measly apology).

October 30th, 2018 5:02 PM
Respected liberal economist turned partisan Democratic columnist Paul Krugman is at his absolute worst during times of national tragedy, from 9-11 to the shooting of Rep.

Nets Disregard Florida GOP HQ Getting Shot Up, Opt to Bash Trump

October 29th, 2018 4:22 PM
