Michael Mann is not just a climate scientist, he’s a climate activist and one of the news media’s favorite alarmists. So it is no surprise to see him lash out at anyone who disagrees with his views about the climate. But it crosses into rampant media bias when a national newspaper supplies him with the platform and the editorial cartoonist to lampoon his competition in the marketplace of ideas.

Think old media are biased? New media is vying to be worse.

The Huffington Post has launched a new lefty comedy sketch series call Celebs Have Issues, where celebrities freely voice liberal opinions. But it’s HuffPo that has issues — with reality. The first episode, “PinkSourcing,” starred liberal actress Kristen Bell as the advocate of a staffing agency specializing in “cheap” female labor. It’s brimming with propaganda and misinformation.

When it comes to covering the economy under President Obama, the broadcast networks have a habit of covering good economic news, but glossing over or ignoring bad economic news. It turns out coverage of income and poverty data from the Census got the same treatment with all three networks covering “great news” on Sept. 13, 2016.

It’s a Bernie Sanders dreamland. In socialism, government takes over the means of production. One of the first steps is to grow government. The latest jobs report gave us terrifying proof that’s happening as government jobs are now 9,932,000 more than manufacturing jobs. 9,932,000. That’s not Venezuela. Or even Cuba. But we’ve grown government more than journalists care to admit. Even as both…
