From the first words out of anchor Scott Pelley on Thursday’s CBS Evening News, one had to know what kind of newscast it’d be. Throughout the newscast’s A-block, every segment involved almost exclusive criticism of the Trump administration on issues ranging from the border to the media to Syrian refugees to trade agreements.

In a column from Thursday's edition of the New York Times, Jennifer Yellin, a former chief White House correspondent for the Cable News Network, discussed “how to save CNN from itself” by creating “a consortium of concerned Americans,” including philanthropists, foundations and small-dollar donors, to “fund a trust to operate an independent CNN dedicated to news in the public interest.”
The refurbished cable television channel would also receive “subscription fees from cable and other service providers, along with ad revenue,” to “allow the network to support itself,” Yellin added.

When it comes to protests, the national mainstream media plays a deceptive numbers game. For instance, the press gave huge coverage to last weekend’s March for Women, which drew a reported 200,000 people protesting the Trump Administration and allegedly proclaimed solidarity with women.

MSNBC weekend host Joy Reid is the latest liberal to get a cozy Q&A in The New York Times Magazine with former MSNBC substitute host Ana Marie Cox. Reid oddly described Trump’s January 11 press conference as a “weird third-world pep rally,” which is quite an insult to her liberal-media colleagues that threw pointed questions at Trump, including the futile screaming antics of CNN’s Jim Acosta.
Cox never asked how Reid would respond if a conservative journalist or talk-show host ever suggested a loving and tender press conference with Obama resembled a “weird third-world pep rally” with an "African dictator." She’d hear racism in it, no doubt.

Thursday on The View, the mostly liberal panel surprisingly talked about an event that ABC’s news shows routinely ignore: the annual March for Life. The hosts were respectful of the marchers but Whoopi Goldberg took issue with the march’s use of the term “pro-life.” The whole panel then made contradictory and confusing arguments then about how one could be both “pro-choice” and “pro-life.”

The mainstream media is treating President Trump's claims of vote fraud with extreme indignation. Now one can argue the extent of it but the MSM is acting as if vote fraud is almost unheard is. An extreme rarity. However, allegations of vote fraud have long existed yet until recently the MSM did not really challenge those assertions. Last summer AMC's docudrama Making of the Mob: Chicago showed the scene below of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. asking notorious Chicago mobsters Tony Accardo and Sam Giancana to use their muscle to provide union votes for his son, John F. Kennedy, who was running for president in the 1960 election. How much MSM outrage did that scene inspire? Absolutely none.
