WashPost Worries Sexism May Be Why Hillary’s Not Pulling Away in Polls
With the polls tightening between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton a mere 49 days before the election and six days before the first presidential debate, the media are growing increasingly desperate to give Clinton a boost and, of course, an online Washington Post article on Tuesday played the gender card in arguing Clinton’s struggles has to do with sexism.

Juan Williams: Hillary Was Right About Trump's 'Deplorables'
It's been ten days since Hillary Clinton made her "basket of deplorables" remark, claiming that "half" of Donald Trump's supporters, i.e., essentially one-fourth of all Americans, is one or more of the following: "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic," and a catch-all in case she missed anything, "You name it."
Since then, the most revealing aspect of the fallout from those…
What? Hayes Says NJ/NY Is ‘Lucky’ Bomber Used ‘Explosives' Not 'Guns'
Since news broke on Saturday regarding a string of pipe and pressure cooker bombs being found in New Jersey and New York (with some going off), nearly everyone in the news and political world have been offering their unsolicited hot takes via Twitter on bombs, radical Islam, and terrorism.

CNN Makes Gallup Poll on Lack of Trust in the Media All About Trump
As many have probably seen by now, Gallup released a poll on September 14 that a record-low percentage of the American people trust the media and, naturally, CNN’s Reliable Sources on Sunday addressed it, but the 11-minute segment made it another obsessive discussion of Donald Trump’s hostility toward them and ignored key factors such as routine bias by omission stories or excusing/ignoring…

Va. Dem and Talk Show Host: Trump Appeals to the 'Mentally Deficient'
During the Obama years, the press has been perpetually on the prowl looking to expose anyone on the center-right perceived as insulting President Obama.

Press Ignores Trump-Bashing Immigration Activist's Rape Arrest
Utah-based Hispanic activist Tony Yapias has drawn a fairly high level of national attention during the past six years.
Most recently, Yapias's name came up in coverage of a clash between "protesters" and supporters of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in Salt Lake City in March. A search on his full name at the New York Times returns eight in-house items between 2010 and 2014. He has…
NY Times: 'Dread' That Hillary Might Lose; No Mention of 'Deplorables'
In an extended Friday writeup which appeared on Page A9 in its print edition, Matt Flegenheimer at the New York Times appeared to be preparing the paper's left-wing audience for what was supposedly unthinkable just a month ago: The possibility that Hillary Clinton might lose the presidential election.

Matt Taibbi: Libs’ Gripes About Campaign Coverage ‘Getting Ridiculous’
Liberals often allege that the media are too tough on Hillary Clinton and not tough enough on Donald Trump. Taibbi is left of center and anti-Trump, but he thinks the quantity and quality of those complaints are “getting ridiculous,” and that the main problem isn’t bad campaign coverage -- it’s dopey voters. “We are less than two months from the possibility of one of the dumbest people on the…
