Shep Smith Finds Vast Fox Conspiracy to Keep Trump Away from Mueller

Fox News afternoon anchor Shepard Smith told Time magazine a few weeks ago “I think we have to make the wall between news and opinion as high and as thick and as impenetrable as possible. And I try to do that.” Then he goes on television and makes a mockery of his own pledge not to spew opinions. On Wednesday, the Internet lit up when Smith accused his own network of a conspiracy to put a group…

U.S. Media Mostly Ignore May Day Celebrations of Communism and Fascism

Protests by workers and activists and, in some cases, violence by anarchists marked the far-left holiday May Day this year. But most American news consumers would not have known that some London demonstrators carried communist flags and banners of brutal Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. They weren’t told that communists marched in Athens, Greece, or that anti-capitalist anarchists destroyed…

Worst of the Month: Freaking Over Fox and Trump’s Threat To Democracy

This past month has seen liberal journalists freak out over Fox New’s growing influence and whine about Donald Trump’s shots at leftist members of the press. They also worried they weren’t fair enough to Hillary Clinton during the campaign, even though one reporter admitted to having “spent a year” on writing a “great story” for the Democratic nominee. The following are the worst attacks against…

#RESIST: New 'Handmaid’s Tale' Urges ‘Get Out in Street and Fight’

Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale returned just last week, but it’s already promising to be an insufferable new season of social justice virtue signaling.

ABC Drama: Terrorist Revealed as Libertarian Wanting 'Free Enterprise'

Now that the matter of presidential removal has been covered, ABC’s Designated Survivor can go back to what it’s best at: promoting the liberal agenda. When it’s not overtly defending liberal values, the show usually spends time demeaning political opponents, and this week’s story is probably the dumbest attack I’ve seen this season. Forget ISIS or even Antifa, the real threat to our nation’s…

Matthews Proclaims He’s ‘Hungry for a Verdict’ in Mueller’s Probe

An angry Chris Matthews ended Wednesday’s Hardball by going on a “Trump Watch” diatribe about how he really wanted a verdict in the Trump-Russia probe. Of course, the only outcome he seemed to consider for a verdict was President Trump’s guilt. And bizarrely enough, Matthews admitted his “passion” for a verdict was driven by his recent viewing of a fictitious television series involving Russian…

On Wednesday's edition of The View, co-host Meghan McCain took a little wind out of the liberal scandal sails by noting Trump was at an "all-time high" in several polls, like 45 percent in an NBC News/Survey Monkey poll.
