Nets Hype Bloomberg in Race, Ignore Manipulation of News Company
For all the liberal smears against Fox News claiming they’re “state-run media,” it has become clear that's exactly what Bloomberg News would become if former Mayor Michael Bloomberg wins in 2020.

Behar Attacks Facebook: A 'Dangerous Tool' for Trump 'Propaganda'
The View hosts couldn’t come to agreement on Monday’s show on the topic of Facebook and free speech.

Cowards: CNN, MSNBC Refuse to Carry WH Event for Conan the Dog
On Monday morning, CNN and MSNBC missed an easy lay-up that would have reinforced their love for America and our military. Instead, they refused to carry live the public portion of a White House event honoring Conan, the Belgian Malinois dog who became famous for their heroism during the October 26 raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. In CNN’s case, the Jeffrey Zucker-led network’s…

Broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC have donated 75 hours of free air time to Democrats’ impeachment hearings against President Trump, despite bad (and consistently shrinking) ratings.
