MSNBC Covers Black Police Shooting Victim 10-1 Over White; CNN 2.5-1

Two Years Later, ‘Madam Secretary’ Still Defends Disastrous Iran Deal

Everyone remember the infamous Iran Deal? Well, just like Hillary Clinton, it’s rearing its unsightly head back in the mainstream through the latest episode of CBS’s Madam Secretary. And don’t even think about questioning it, or you just might end up on the wrong side of patriotism.

'Billions' 'Mounts the Resistance' Against Trump-Appointed AG

Showtime’s Billions, a show that traditionally shied away from getting too political, has tossed its hat into the ring and joined the tirade of TV shows attacking the Trump administration.

'The Good Fight' Caricatures Conservative as Islamophobic, Racist

Sunday’s episode of CBS’s The Good Fight presents an extreme, racist version of the person who’s supposed to be defending the conservative position. The show has made it very clear that it has its own leftist agenda to push.

NY Times Op-Ed: 'Chappaquiddick' Engages in 'Character Assassination'

In a Friday New York Times op-ed, Neal Gabler, merely described as "writing a biography of Edward Kennedy" to feign neutrality, expressed alarm that "the despicable Kennedy" seen in Chappaquiddick "will eradicate the honorable if flawed real one."

White House Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday to discuss President Trump’s plans for illegal immigration following his order to move National Guard troops to the border.

Trump, Pence Compared to Ultra Racists After Praising MLK
