FLASHBACK: Media Roll Over For Hillary on Her Book Tours
It’s already started: CBS’s Jane Pauley rolled out the red carpet for Hillary Clinton, in her first book tour stop promoting What Happened.

Ugh: New York Times Hails Hillary's Book for 'Defiance' and 'Candor'
A conservative media critic can wonder if part of Hillary’s book deal includes requirements for the “objective” media to employ the improbable word “candor” to describe her books, despite the fact that her lack of candor defines her career and her last campaign. But there was Tuesday’s review of her book What Happened in The New York Times under the headline “Defiance, Dark Humor, and Candor:…
NYT Uses Pope, Storm to Plug Climate Change
In the wake of Hurricane Irma, the New York Times advanced the “climate change” agenda from every angle in Tuesday’s edition. First up, the paper featured more odd respect for religion from its colorful left-wing reporter Jason Horowitz, in “Pope, in the Air, Puts Foot Down on Climate Change Denial and DACA Reversal.” The text box: “The pontiff says pro-life believers must defend the unity of the…

The journalists on MSNBC and CNN on Tuesday continued to be annoyed that Donald Trump hasn’t connected Hurricanes Harvey and Irma to global warming.

Promoting her new book about covering Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign, on Tuesday’s NBC Today, correspondent Katy Tur told co-host Matt Lauer that the then-presidential candidate’s public criticism of her reporting was “jarring” and “scary.” Lauer shared her fear as he recalled the “intense feeling” he got at Trump rallies when the Republican nominee would attack the liberal media.
Joy Reid: Trump Era Is 'The Worst Time to Be a Human'
MSNBC weekend host Joy Reid drew another gushy interview from the liberal media, in this case New York magazine's Josef Adalian. Check out the first syrupy sentence: "Joy Reid has not figured out how to bend the rules of space and time, though regular viewers of MSNBC can be forgiven for thinking she somehow has done just that." Reid really does have a talent for bending reality, imagining in…

Is New 'Star Trek' Series an Anti-Trump Allegory? CBS Says No
There’s been a divide in America, long before President Trump took office, but it’s only now that Hollywood seems interested in capitalizing on that divide – after eight divisive years of Obama. Star Trek: Discovery is the latest show to use this “new” divide – which they of course blame the Trump administration – as a theme for the show. Showrunner Aaron Harbert told Entertainment Weekly the…

S.E. Cupp, Ben Shapiro Rake Berkeley Over the Coals for PC Culture
Conservative journalist Ben Shapiro was set to speak at the radically liberal University of Berkeley on Thursday where police would be present to deal with any violence from rioters.

Airport Denizens, Beware: Lena Dunham Promises 'I Hear and See All'
Among the unhinged, actress Lena Dunham is vying for front-row occupancy. The former creator and star of HBO's Girls series has tried to make a name for herself among leftists in a variety of ways during the past several years. Dunham's most recent attempt last week involved telling the world that people around her at airports and airline flights (and surely elsewhere) will have to conduct…
