Two Newsweek Hit-Piece Headlines Claim Trump Talks to 'Hate Group'
Newsweek, whose home page of late devotes every square pixel to anti-Trump-pro-liberal articles, featured a Harriet Sinclair piece Thursday on President Trump’s then-upcoming speech to the Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit. Or, as the magazine’s hit-piece of a headline called it, “Donald Trump To Speak At Hate Group's Annual Event, A First For A President.” Seriously? (Newsweek ran a…
People Gave Fewer Pages to Weinstein Than Roger Ailes This Week
The newest edition of People magazine could barely touch the sex scandal of Hollywood titan Harvey Weinstein.

PBS Liberal on Trump: 'Any Jackass Can Kick Down a Barn'
PBS NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff recently boasted her show rose above "a false sense of combativeness."

Marsha Blackburn, Rose McGowan, the Power of Twitter and the Media
Who’da thunk? Who would possibly have thought Tennessee Republican and Trump-supporting Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn - a candidate to succeed out-going Senator Bob Corker - would have anything in common with Rose McGowan, the hardworking film, television actress and LGBT activist?

Wash Post: Yeah, Weinstein Was a Monster, But Such Great Movies!
The Washington Post offered a double dose of creepy on Friday as film critic Ann Hornaday called out Harvey Weinstein as a monster, but one who made such “important” films.

Bozell & Graham Column: Hollywood Moralists Exposed as Hypocrites
On February 27, 2016, the entertainment industry gave the Oscar for Best Picture to Spotlight, a fictionalized version of the Boston Globe’s reporting of sexual abuse and coverup in the Catholic Church in Boston.
