Ed Asner in Salon: 'The U.S. Was Actually Founded on Gun Control'
In a late Saturday morning column, wannabe constitutional scholars Ed Asner and Ed. Weinberger (yes, there's a period after his first name) weighed in on the Founders' intent relating to citizens' right to bear arms. Asner and Weinberger, an actor and a comedy joke and script writer, respectively, in real life, deigned to tell us that the Second Amendment was really a gun control measure designed…
NYT's Latest Fact-Check' on Trump 'Deceit' Falls Flat on Its Face
New York Times “fact-checker” Linda Qiu's latest lame “gotcha” attempt against President Trump appeared under a strongly hostile headline, “Deceit and Confusion In Talk on Law and Order.” It comes on the heels of a backfired Times investigation -- a graph purporting to compare the lies of Donald Trump (103 after 10 months in office) and Barack Obama (just 18 during eight full years).Qiu has…
Nation Editor on Russia-2016: 'Never Seen Media Malpractice Like This'
On Friday, Fox News's Tucker Carlson interviewed Stephen F. Cohen, a contributing editor at The Nation.

Lefty Media Outlets Assail Trump for Harassment, Excuse Lib Offenders
What is the matter with these people? This has been discussed elsewhere, but with more of the same nonsense since the subject of one of the latest presidential tweets will not go away, let’s continue. Here is the now-famous tweet.

Winners & Losers in Entertainment: Christmas Edition

Fineman: 'Drunk' GOPers in 'War' on Middle Class, Tax Cuts Hurt Them
Appearing as a guest on Friday's The Beat with Ari Melber, Huffington Post global editorial director Howard Fineman -- also an MSNBC contributor -- went negative on Republicans planning to cut taxes as he described them as "getting drunk on egg nog," and claimed that cutting taxes "periodically gets them into trouble."

Boston Globe: ESPN Has Major Problem with Sexual Harassment
ESPN sure talks a good game about social justice, equality and women's rights. But it's all talk, according to The Boston Globe's Jenn Abelson, who reports the network has a major problem with the mistreatment of female employees that runs deep.
Alt-Left Insanity: Crazy Liberal Outlets Promote Sex with Ghosts
The beauty of writing this column is that I’m almost beyond being shocked. The alt-left has successfully blurred the line between crazy (cray-cray for you younger folks) and conventional. So I wasn’t even especially shocked when I read this: “Fed Up With Mortal Men, Women Are Having Sex with Ghosts.” It’s not even a funny/punny headline. There’s no “ghost of a chance” comment deployed. No “give…
USA Today Lamely Claims NLRB Is Overturning 'Worker-Friendly' Rules
USA Today reporter Paul Davidson apparently doesn't understand that policies which help workers get hired and keep their jobs are more "worker-friendly" than those designed to line trial lawyers' pockets and help labor unions coerce companies into dealing with them. At least twice this year, Davidson, in his headlines and his content, has characterized moves by the federal government's National…
Apolitical Comedy Central Show Still Manages to Bash Guns
The timing for Comedy Central’s newest faux news special couldn’t be better. The past few days saw ABC News serve up a megaton retraction, followed closely by Reuters and CNN. It’s almost like they knew the channel had a special dubbed Fake News in the offing and wanted to lend a hand.
Bozell & Graham Column: Showtime vs. Christianity
The Golden Globe Award nominations have been announced, and once again, the Hollywood judges really know how to find the worst junk to honor. Two nominations went to stay-classy Showtime’s program called “SMILF,” for “single mother I’d like to f—.” The show’s lead actress is also its creator and executive producer.
PBS's Costa Wrongly Suggests George Wallace Was a Republican
Some liberal journalists just can't get the notion out of their minds that George Wallace was a Republican, even though the former segregationist governor of Alabama was a lifelong Democrat. On Friday's Washington Week on PBS, host Robert Costa -- also a Washington Post reporter -- suggested that Wallace was a part of the Republican party's "past" as he recalled that some black voters in Alabama…
Cuomo Frets: Trump Voters Want to Get Along After Voting for Trump
On Friday's New Day show, after a pre-recorded segment with Donald Trump voters in which some talked up hopes that people will come together politically and get along in 2018, CNN co-host Chris Cuomo seemed to fret over such talk coming from those who voted Trump into office. Cuomo: "What frustrates some people about the panels is, 'Yes, that's true. They should do that -- yet they voted for…
Seriously? Ellen Turns to Hillary to Ask: Can Trump Last Four Years?
Hillary Clinton’s seemingly endless book tour stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres show on Friday. And even for the liberal entertainer, the questions were over the top. DeGeneres turned to the woman who lost the 2016 election to wonder if Donald Trump can “last” four years. She also wistfully highlighted the plan to do the show from the Clinton White House.
