On October 2, The New York Times published an admittedly “fragmentary” front-page story about Donald Trump’s taxes. Through these pages, the Times reported Trump claimed a $915 million loss, which could – emphasis on the “could” – have allowed Trump to avoid paying federal taxes for “up to 18 years.” The Times was typically harsh in tone. The tax records “reveal the extraordinary tax benefits…

En un reciente artículo titulado 'Díles Que Voten' publicado en El Pregonero, el periódico oficial de la Arquidiócesis de la ciudad de Washington, el redactor Miguel Vivanco va mucho más allá que escribir con comprensión sobre el futuro de los millones de inmigrantes ilegales en el país.

In an article titled Tell Them To Vote (Diles Que Voten), published in a recent edition of El Pregonero, the official Spanish-language newspaper of the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., staff writer Miguel Vivanco goes well beyond just paying obligatory lip-service to the illegal immigration cause which he and the ultra-liberal wing of the American “Catholic” world push incessantly.

As it did for the first presidential debate, CBS’s Late Show was live again on Tuesday night to comment on the vice presidential debate as host Stephen Colbert denigrated the Bible with a fake verse about Indiana pizza parlors and crudely joking that Republican nominee Mike Pence is gay giving blowjobs to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

DJ Khaled hosted the BET Hip Hop Awards, which were recorded September 17, 2016, and aired on that network Tuesday night. He remarked the show would be about “real lyricists, talking about real issues.” As you might guess, the real issues were all about the election and Black Lives Matter narrative.

Within just minutes of the vice presidential debate’s conclusion Tuesday, CNN’s Debate Night in America panel was quick to slam Governor Mike Pence and praise Senator Tim Kaine’s performance. “Well, there are two sins in communicating with people. There's small sin and there's big sin,” political commentator Van Jones explained, “And what happened was, you saw in real time essentially Pence…

In the moments following Tuesday’s lone 2016 vice presidential debate, ABC and NBC did their best to offer an overarching spin that while Democratic Senator Tim Kaine (Va.) constantly and in many cases rudely interrupted Republican Governor Mike Pence (Ind.) and moderator Elaine Quijano, the debate won’t matter much to final result and Kaine actually won despite his lack of decorum.

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews on Tuesday night shocked his liberal viewers by declaring that the “eloquent,” “excellent” Mike Pence “won” the vice presidential debate over a “desperate” Tim Kaine. The Hardball host did not hold back as he bashed, “Kaine was a little bit, I don't know what the right word is, a little desperate there, jumping in all the time, always trying to get his points. He didn't…

Following Tuesday’s vice presidential debate between Democratic Senator Tim Kaine (Va.) and Indiana Republican Governor Mike Pence (Ind.), Media Research Center president Brent Bozell released a statement on his belief that Pence won despite questioning from CBS News correspondent and moderator Elaine Quijano.  

A broken clock is right twice a day and former President Bill Clinton was certainly right Monday when he criticized ObamaCare for hurting working people. “…The people are out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half,” he remarked at a campaign rally for his wife. The shocking admission by the liberal president went unreported…

Using the most loaded language she could muster, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday described Mike Pence as a “hard-line, hard-core, religious right guy.” Previewing the vice presidential debate, she also insisted that there are “policy differences” on abortion between Tim Kaine and Hillary Clinton. 

On Tuesday morning, one of the more intriguing debates about media bias took place on MSNBC’s Morning Joe as the assembled co-hosts and Politico founder Jim Vandehei excoriated their colleagues in the media for flashing their liberal bias “in a way they never did before” in their collective desire to take down Donald Trump (to the benefit of Hillary Clinton).  

In a post headlined “To See Mike Pence as ‘Normal’ Is to Grade on a Generous Curve,” Steve Benen, who's also the primary blogger for the TRMS website, sought to demolish the idea that Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate will feature what Politico called “two conventional pols.” “As a matter of tone and temperament, Mike Pence is hardly scary: the governor is a mild-mannered, soft-spoken…

El apoyo brindado por el candidato presidencial republicano Donald Trump a la política de vigilancia policial de “parar y cachear” (conocida en inglés como “stop and frisk”) para contener el aumento del número de asesinatos en Chicago fue el tema de un reportaje unilateral y adverso en Univisión.
