CNN's Dana Bash paid tribute to retiring Democratic Senator Barbara Mikulski on Wednesday's New Day, touting that "it's the end of the Obama and the Mikulski eras; and the trail-blazing senator walked out the door — dropping important pearls of wisdom." Bash played up how the longtime Maryland politician is "retiring disappointed. Her old Senate colleague [Hillary Clinton] failed to become the…

More proof that the New York Times will not let the most innocuous trifle pass unjudged for sexism: Laurel Graeber’s theater review in in Tuesday’s New York Times of the “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” musical was headlined “A Red Note Lights an Uneven Field – All receive lessons against bullying, but bucks still get more attention that does.” The online headline: “A ‘Rudolph’ for Inclusion (at…

Nothing could make a liberal power couple’s hearts swell up with pride more than the sweet sounds of their young daughter throwing a pro-abortion hissy fit. That’s exactly what happened Tuesday on The View, when actress/comedian Ali Wentworth, married to ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos, boasted about how “upset” her young daughter was with Trump’s win. Wentworth bragged that the 14-year-old…

Christmastime is nearly upon us, which means Americans across the country are anxiously contemplating the perfect gifts for their loved ones. But what should you buy your friend who loves Lena Dunham? Or your niece who always works Gloria Steinem into Christmas dinner conversation? 

On Monday morning’s CNN Newsroom, host Carol Costello trotted out Muslim-American Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad for an interview which allowed Muhammad to attack President-elect Donald Trump, explain why the country shouldn’t unite behind Trump, and why white working class voters are foolish to think they’ve been left behind in today’s America.

On Wednesday, Slate had a sensational headline accusing Donald Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway of telling an audience at a Politico event that “Women With Kids Shouldn’t Take Jobs in the White House.” The only problem? It was a complete misrepresentation of what Conway actually said.

Wednesday on The View, the panel made some wild predictions about what would happen during Donald Trump’s presidency. But not before making some clearly factually inaccurate statements. The panel blamed Trump for supposedly taking away people’s health insurance already before warning that Mike Pence was going to take away women’s rights and LGBT rights.

Liberal post-election tears have really been delicious, but this is just getting silly. On December 5, The Washington Post’s Stephanie Land wrote a completely serious, non-satirical article titled, “Trump’s Election Stole My Desire to Look for a Partner.” Before the election, she had been searching for a “supportive” partner to quench her loneliness and help raise her two kids.

Did you know that some Donald Trump supporters actively advocated for repealing the 19th Amendment which gave women the right to vote almost a century ago? Or that Hillary Clinton, who memorably characterized half of Trump's supporters as "a basket of deplorables ... racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it," really "went high" as "her opponent went even lower" during the…

A live action Barbie movie is finally in the works, and guess who’s starring? That’s right, folks. Amy Schumer. Before you say, “Wait! Barbie is the antithesis of radical feminism!” understand that this is no regular Barbie movie. In fact, Schumer will play the role of the imperfect doll who is banished to the real world for not fitting in. After learning to embrace her flaws and celebrate her…

Jill Filipovic wildly claimed that "sex is about to get a lot less fun" in a Thursday op-ed on CNN.com. Filipovic pointed the finger at Donald Trump nominating ObamaCare opponent, Rep. Tom Price, to be HHS secretary, and claimed the move is "just one peek at what Trump's notorious misogyny will look like when it's translated into policy." The Cosmopolitan contributor zeroed in on ObamaCare's "…

In covering the recent presidential campaign, the mainstream media far too often made the perfect the enemy of the good, believes Leigh Gilmore -- “the good” in this case being synonymous with “Hillary Clinton.” Gilmore, a professor in the women's and gender studies department at Hillary’s undergraduate alma mater, Wellesley, claims that “the bias against Hillary Clinton was not simply a story…

According to TNR’s Lovia Gyarkye, one of the less tangible things President Obama has tried to forge is “a liberalism that fuses identity politics with the idea of American greatness.” As for Obama’s successor, “the answer to the Trump presidency is not to abandon the progress we have made. It is not to yearn for the past glories of a nation that has wronged so many people. It is to do the hard…

Did liberals’ reliance on so-called identity politics cost them the presidential election? It doesn’t matter, suggested Slate’s Michelle Goldberg in a Tuesday piece. Goldberg has no use for “the more illiberal aspects of social justice politics,” but thinks that in general Democrats stand for exactly what, and who, they should stand for. “There can be no going back on defending the tenuous gains…
