Barney Frank Endures Tough Interview...on National Public Radio!
Yet more evidence of a world turned upside down since Donald Trump won the presidency and charitable donations to the Clinton Foundation predictably plummeted -- National Public Radio is no longer a safe space for liberals to opine.

Busted: 'Hamilton' Cast Lecturing VP on 'American Values' Didn't Vote!
Well this is a tad bit hypocritical. It turns out many cast members of the Broadway hit show Hamilton – the same cast who delivered what they called a “message of love” to Vice President-elect Mike Pence – hasn’t voted in years. Like the protesters and rioters in the streets, it's funny those who demand more democracy and lament their great anxiety didn't manage to participate.

Mitchell Tries to Offer Blanket Link Between Trump Backers, Neo-Nazis
On the heels of CBS and NBC spending over five minutes providing a platform for a neo-Nazi conference, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell continued the media’s normalization of bigotry (unlike what they try to do with religious freedom supporters) by sloppily insinuating that “supporters of Donald Trump’s election” congregated with “the alt-right” at the National Policy Institute (NPI) conference.

On Tuesday, CBS This Morning went gaga over liberal comedian Jon Stewart's and the 17 years of his Daily Show.

AP's Lederman Bemoans 'Sense of Despair' Among Obama's Aides
As I noted yesterday in covering its pathetic hit piece on President-Elect Donald Trump's announced appointments, the Associated Press is high on the list of media outlets most simultaneously outraged and grief-stricken over the presidential election result two weeks ago.

Nets Give 3X More Airtime to Neo-Nazis Than Past Four Marches for Life
The media have been promoting neo-Nazis and white nationalists in hopes to (admirably) discredit them and falsely insinuate that they were far-right conservatives who propelled Donald Trump to the White House. This trend manifested itself with five minutes and 17 seconds Tuesday morning on CBS and NBC that attempted to label the neo-Nazi conference as one featuring “conservative extremist[s]” and…
