Arts No Refuge from Politics in NYT: Ruffalo's Rants, Stalin Parallels
March 5th, 2017 5:28 PM
The arts and literature pages offer no respite from the New York Times political thrust. Lisa Birnbach hung out with actor Mark Ruffalo, perhaps best known for his role as The Hulk in the series of Avengers superhero movies, for her front-page Arts story, “The Actor’s Activist, Onstage.” Ruffalo is participating in a politicized revival of Arthur Miller’s obscure anti-capitalism play “The Price…

March 5th, 2017 4:40 PM
On Sunday's AM Joy on MSNBC, it was the place for conspiracy theories. Appearing as a guest to discuss President Donald Trump, far-left film director Rob Reiner fretted that Trump has "already invaded our country" because of hacking from Russia, and ended up seeming to seriously suggest that the President might either fake or stage a bombing of the U.S.S. Cole to justify a war with Iran.

NC State Senator Who Blamed Trump for JCC Threats Goes Silent
March 5th, 2017 3:00 PM
Rolling Stone published a February 28 story which featured North Carolina state senator Jeff Jackson (D) who vociferously blamed President Trump for the Jewish community center bomb threats around the nation. Bad timing for him because just three days later, on Friday, a suspect was arrested for the JCC threats. Very inconveniently for Jackson and many liberals the suspect, Juan Thompson,…

March 5th, 2017 12:54 PM
Things got super-heated on Sunday during ABC’s This Week, as the White House’s Principal Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders locked horns with Martha Raddatz over the media hypocrisy with selectively picking which anonymous sources they’ll run with. “Why does he believe these articles that you say you cite, and I'm saying, ‘they are not definitive.’” Raddatz chided, seemingly in…

March 4th, 2017 3:10 PM
In a Friday post on the website of The Washington Monthly, not of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Martin Longman discussed President Trump in strikingly medical terms. “The reason Trump has become so vulnerable so quickly is because he’s treating Washington like the pathogen when he’s the infectious agent,” declared Longman. “A better politician might be able to take over the host…

Carlson Condemns EU Parliament's 'Orwellian' Speech Censorship
March 4th, 2017 1:10 PM
There are many reasons to doubt the European Union's long-term continued existence in its current form, not the least of which is that its structure is, as a Friday Investor's Business Daily editorial asserted, "a virtual dictatorship for bureaucrats." As if that authoritarianism isn't enough, the EU Parliament can now financially penalize, censor and even memory-hole its own members' supposedly…

March 4th, 2017 11:18 AM
From the “Trump can’t do anything right department” comes a front-page story in Saturday’s New York Times: “Handshakes at the White House, Hand-Wringing at Black Colleges” by Anemona Hartocollis and Noah Weiland. The Times has spent the last year excoriating then-candidate, now-President Trump for either being racist himself or encouraging racism in his supporters. But after a productive meeting…
AP Takes One-Sided Hatchet to Trump's Tribute to Ryan and Carryn Owens
March 4th, 2017 10:22 AM
It's becoming quite obvious that the Associated Press, which has tilted ever more to the left for several decades, has been on the verge of going completely off the rails since their coordinated plan to elect Hillary Clinton failed in November. Naturally, the AP has directed its ever-increasing hostility at Donald Trump and his administration since that fateful day — seldom more obviously than in…
Bozell & Graham Column: Trump Hits a Home Run
March 4th, 2017 8:15 AM
One after another, the pundits hailed this first joint address to Congress as Donald Trump’s finest speech, though the usual naysayers were quick to add snarkily that it was his only good speech, yuk-yuk. Fox News Channel’s Brit Hume, a serious analyst with, by his count, some 40 of these speeches under his belt, called Tuesday night’s State of the Union address one of the most riveting and…

NBC's Todd Asks Dem If He Can Use Exec Order to Block NC Bathroom Law

On Friday's MTP Daily on MSNBC, during a pre-recorded interview with North Carolina Democratic Governor Roy Cooper about his efforts to get the state legislature to repeal the state's bathroom law, host Chuck Todd seemed to approach the interview with a premise sympathetic to getting the law repealed, and at one point even asked if it was possible for the Democratic governor to use an executive…
