After AP Sets Ceiling, Economic Growth Forecasts Get Bumped Up
The Associated Press's coverage of the U.S. economy is undergoing its own presidential transition.

ESPN’s Public Editor Agrees With Viewers That Network ‘Has Moved Left'

Transition Team 'Chaos'? No Appointments in First 5-6 Weeks Is Norm
The latest media meme on President-Elect Donald Trump is that his presidential transition effort is in "chaos," "total disarray," etc. Establishment press outlets from the supposedly chastened (but not really) New York Times, to the Associated Press, to the fever swamps at the Huffington Post, are relentlessly playing that tune. As Bret Baier at Fox News noted on Special Report Wednesday night,…

Bloomberg: ‘Essential’ Press Be with Trump In Case of ‘Assassination’

Media Meme Destroyed: Trump's Turnout Operation Was Groundbreaking
During the 2016 presidential campaign, the "everybody knows" conventional wisdom in the establishment press which never went away, even as some contrary evidence appeared, was that Donald Trump's campaign, away from his rallies, was a haphazard operation which was doing very little to identify, target and persuade voters.
At the New Republic in mid-June, Jeet Heer confidently summed up the media…

‘Dictators’ and Double Standards: NYT Loves Leftist Anti-Trump Protest
Remember those concerned New York Times stories about the dictatorial dangers of refusing to accept election results? Apparently they only applied to Donald Trump.

CNN Panelist Tears into Host, Media for Liberal Bias During Election
Following Donald Trump becoming the president-elect in a stunning upset, CNN’s Brian Stelter was desperate to find a reason for Hillary Clinton’s loss on Sunday’s “Reliable Sources.” He went so far as to wonder if the media was being too balanced during the election.
