Vanity Fair: 'White America Fell for Putin,' Trump Over Russian Women

Vanity Fair’s Peter Savodnik completely jumped the shark when it came to the outrageous article he wrote earlier this week.

Ghostbusters director Paul Feig is still battling those Internet trolls while ignoring why his movie was doomed. Paul Feig can rock a finely tailored suit.

Bozell & Graham Column: Obama Underlines Failure at 'The Daily Show'

Conservative Twitter wit Stephen Miller unleashed his latest “President Ash Carter” joke recently at the unseriousness of the outgoing president: “President Ash Carter has made an unannounced visit to troops in Afghanistan.

Lefty Prof: Trump Rule Means ‘Winter Is Coming’ For Media

It’s definitely not morning in America for the media, believes NYU's Jay Rosen. The metaphor Rosen uses to illustrate the media’s plight during the first several months of Donald Trump’s administration isn’t a time of day but an entire, harsh season; he headlined his tweetstorm of last Sunday “Winter is coming: what it will be like for the press under Trump.” In September, Rosen alleged that…

Newsweek: 'Pressures' on Muslim Women Led to Islamophobic Attack Hoax

On Thursday, Newsweek's Lucy Westcott forwarded possible excuses for Yasmin Seweid's fake account about anti-Muslim men attacking her on New York City's subway. Westcott spotlighted an activist who played up that young Muslim women, like Seweid, are "children of either immigrant parents or U.S.-born Muslims, and parents have high expectations of them, putting [them under] tremendous pressure."…

Alt-Left Insanity: National Freakout Gets Freakier
