The View Worries About Trump GIFs Inciting Violence Against CNN
Monday on ABC’s The View, the hosts fretted that Trump was “leading the charge” on assaults on journalists. After retweeting a gif last week that showed Trump wrestling with a CNN logo, the media threw a temper tantrum, obsessing that the gif was a sign of danger to their very lives.

Republican Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania found himself under fire as he defended the Republican Medicaid proposal on Monday’s Morning Joe.

CNN journalist Jeff Zeleny on Sunday mocked Donald Trump’s speech in Poland as an antiquated address designed to appeal to “white America” and those who want “America first.” The cable network’s White House correspondent huffed that the speech, which produced chants of “USA!

Pathetic Slate Hypes Charlie Gard Is Why U.S. Needs Single-Payer Care
Appallingly, I came across this question in regard to the Charlie Gard case: “What duty of care do we owe them simply on account of their being human beings, who are by nature possessed of an inalienable dignity?” As a fellow human being, my only response is that we owe all human beings the best care possible. I thought most leftists would agree with this sentiment, given their generally…
All Three Networks Ignore New Damaging Report on Comey
All three networks spent so much time Monday morning breathlessly questioning whether or not Donald Trump Jr. “colluded” with Russia by agreeing to a meeting with an anonymous Russian lawyer during the campaign, that they couldn’t find any time to report on another important development in the same investigation--perhaps because it wasn’t centered on the Trump campaign.
Are You Kidding? Samantha Bee Producer: We Aren’t ‘Liberal’
You have the garden variety retractions, of course. The anonymously sourced tales disproven over time.

Case in point: This Vanity Fair profile of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee executive producer Jo Miller. The silliness starts…
Sean Spicer Decks Jim Acosta in WashPost: 'Hurting the Profession'
The Washington Post profiled perpetually yelling CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta for Monday's paper under the headline "CNN's Jim Acosta airs the news -- and his irritation."

NBC: Whose Meeting Account ‘Are We to Believe,’ Trump's or Putin's?
To the absolute shock of most in the liberal media, President Trump was the one to bring up Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election during his meeting with Vladimir Putin on Saturday. In the lead up to Trump’s foreign trip to the G20 summit, many in the liberal media were claiming that Trump wouldn’t bring up Russia’ interference at all. But after finding out that he, in fact, did, they then…
Boise Paper Lets Person Dictate 'They' and 'Themself' in Article
In a touch of transgender utopia (or linguistic insansity), the Idaho Statesman in Boise -- a McClatchy newspaper -- is letting the transgender/nonbinary Left set the terms, so Kori Doty can demand to be called "themself," not "himself" or "herself" -- there's no clue in the article if Doty is the baby's mother or father. Reporter Teresa Welsh leaves the impression the baby is being raised by a…
