Cabinet Contrast: Biden’s ‘Superheroes’ vs. Trump’s ‘Ignoramuses’
December 3rd, 2020 9:00 AM
The transition has only just begun, but already the liberal media are fawning over Joe Biden’s “historic” choices to staff his administration, as he selects “very experienced,” “very diverse” and “not political” “adults in the room” who actually “know what they are doing.” The contrast with the media’s reaction to President-elect Trump’s selections four years ago could not be more stark.

April 19th, 2018 1:11 PM
On Thursday, TIME magazine released its annual list of the world’s 100 most influential people, spanning across politics, entertainment, music, and sports.

The recent media frenzy over EPA administrator Scott Pruitt’s travel expenses and use of first-class cabins, often lacked crucial information — like the death threats he has received.
According to The Wall Street Journal in November 2017, Pruitt gets five times as many threats as the previous EPA administrator and there had been “explicit death threats.” His family was also threatened. Yet, some…

Not News: Reductions in U.S. CO2 Emissions Dwarf the Rest of the World
November 12th, 2017 1:32 PM
The establishment press is making a big deal out of the fact that President Trump has not been and will not be personally invited to a climate summit in Paris in December.
