Congressman Sean Duffy called out the media on Friday morning for their hysterical reporting without evidence. On CNN’s New Day, Duffy scolded anchor Chris Cuomo: "On the influence of the investigation as CNN, a news network, what information do we have about this memo, about this influence?

Today co-host Matt Lauer worried on Friday that appointment of a special counsel to investigate the Trump administration could be “bad news” for Democrats because it may prevent liberal lawmakers from being able to “drive headlines” against the President.

Joan Walsh: Ailes’s Network Shields Its Viewers From ‘Tough Truths’
A 77-year-old man died the other day, and, according to The Nation’s Walsh, it should have been a major learning moment for the Republican Party.

Carlson Rips Ex-MSNBCer Krystal Ball's Absurd Impeachment Arguments

Sheer Lunacy on Campus
Parents, taxpayers and donors have little idea of the levels of lunacy, evil and lawlessness that have become features of many of today's institutions of higher learning. Parents, taxpayers and donors who ignore or are too lazy to find out what goes on in the name of higher education are nearly as complicit as the professors and administrators who promote or sanction the lunacy, evil and…
'Designated Survivor' Finale Takes Parting Shot at Trump, Conservative
Culture
Wow, is liberal Hollywood predictable or what? Back in early November, when all indications were that it was an Islamic terrorist group that bombed the U.S. Capitol and took out the entire government during the State of the Union (except, of course, designated survivor then-Housing and Urban Development Secretary Tom Kirkman), I predicted the mid-May ending of ABC’s Designated Survivor.
