On Monday's Morning Joe, Anand Giridharadas, who seems to be setting himself up to be the left's fiercest critic of Bloomberg, clashed with New York Times columnist and Bloomberg defender Bret Stephens.

Smerconish Wants Hearsay Evidence Diplomats as Time Person of the Year
On CNN Saturday, host Michael Smerconish recommended that a bunch of gossipers be named as Time's "Person of the Year."

The New York Times tried to shore up a major source of the left’s anti-Trump conspiracies in the paper’s Sunday Review section by running an op-ed, “Don’t Let Trump Rewrite History,” by Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch, founders of Fusion GPS, which put together the notorious and discredited anti-Trump dossier, full of lurid and sensational Russian-gleaned disinformation.

This Is CNN: Trump a ‘Destructive Cult’ Leader Using ‘Mind Control’
Remember back to 2014 when CNN became a laughing stock when they suggested aliens might have abducted Malaysia Flight 370?

David Swerdlick is an employee of the Post Outlook section, so this isn't some freakish freelancer.
