Joy Reid: Trump Era Is 'The Worst Time to Be a Human'

September 12th, 2017 10:11 AM
MSNBC weekend host Joy Reid drew another gushy interview from the liberal media, in this case New York magazine's Josef Adalian. Check out the first syrupy sentence: "Joy Reid has not figured out how to bend the rules of space and time, though regular viewers of MSNBC can be forgiven for thinking she somehow has done just that." Reid really does have a talent for bending reality, imagining in…

Is New 'Star Trek' Series an Anti-Trump Allegory? CBS Says No

September 12th, 2017 6:09 AM
There’s been a divide in America, long before President Trump took office, but it’s only now that Hollywood seems interested in capitalizing on that divide – after eight divisive years of Obama. Star Trek: Discovery is the latest show to use this “new” divide – which they of course blame the Trump administration – as a theme for the show. Showrunner Aaron Harbert told Entertainment Weekly the…

On Sunday, CBS News ran two high-profile interviews with two very influential political movers and shakers, the Jane Pauley interview with Hillary Clinton during Sunday Morning and Charlie Rose’s interview with Steve Bannon on 60 Minutes.

Adamant Whoopi Argues Media Loved Trump, Gave Him Positive Coverage

September 11th, 2017 3:06 PM
Monday on The View, the two most liberal hosts made a claim so absurd it begged the question: What world are they living in? The audacious claim came during a discussion on media bias and President Trump. While libertarian host Jedediah Bila pointed out conservatives’ complaints about left-wing media bias in general, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar brought it directly to Trump, arguing that the…

Though the ominous feeling of concern for those in the path of Hurricane Irma in Florida hung heavy in the air, the show must go on. Miss America 2018 on ABC aired September 10th and throughout the show, donations for hurricane relief were solicited for those affected in both Texas and Florida. Never fear, though. Politics dominated the final question competition and yes, it was all about…

AP, Media Show They Can Dish It Out But Can't Take It in EPA Spat

September 10th, 2017 11:25 PM
As of late Sunday afternoon, the Associated Press's coverage of potential contamination resulting from Hurricane Irma in Florida, certainly a legitimate issue, was remarkably measured. That dispatch's tone starkly contrasted with how the AP, without genuine basis, went after the U.S. EPA after Hurricane Harvey in Texas, and how childishly it reacted when the EPA pushed back hard against the wire…

With Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election memoir due to be released in the next couple of days, the two-time failed presidential candidate appeared on CBS News Sunday Morning for a sit-down interview with host Jane Pauley.

NYT's Dual DACA Defense: Tugging Heartstrings, Crying Racism

September 8th, 2017 8:21 PM
Immigration is the issue where the New York Times’ liberal lean is most obvious, a truth underlined in Friday’s edition, showing the paper still grieving over President Trump’s decision to eliminate the unilateral, constitutionally dubious Obama administration diktat, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which temporarily protected from deportation illegals who came to the United States as…

Liberal New York Times Rallies to Defense of Competitor: ‘Stay Bold'

September 8th, 2017 4:37 PM
The advent of computer and online technology has made it difficult for newspapers to continue producing and distributing copies of their printed editions while remaining afloat financially. As you might expect, large companies have often snapped up troubled publications in an effort to expand their firms’ influence far and wide. One recent example of this situation came on Monday, September 4,…

For the last couple of days, the Big Three Networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have spent much of their coverage of President Trump’s recent Differed Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) decision slamming him for being heartless and cruel. But after a Thursday tweet, where the President reassured so-called “Dreamers” that he would direct “no action” against them in six months, both ABC and CBS…
