Slate Writer: Trump ‘Offers His Followers’ a ‘Fascist Bargain’

Did liberals’ reliance on so-called identity politics cost them the presidential election? It doesn’t matter, suggested Slate’s Michelle Goldberg in a Tuesday piece. Goldberg has no use for “the more illiberal aspects of social justice politics,” but thinks that in general Democrats stand for exactly what, and who, they should stand for. “There can be no going back on defending the tenuous gains…

Mother Jones Marks Thanksgiving with Annual Freak-out Over Redskins

Lefty rags like Mother Jones wouldn’t exist without dudgeon -- low, high or in between. But surely they can give it a rest on Thanksgiving? No! Thanksgiving is a day to get especially dudgeony for good progressives. (You know, the kind of morally serious individuals that would publicly compare a lost election to the 9-11 attacks.

CNN's Amanpour Whines: 'Exceptionally High Bar' Media Set for Hillary

One blog on the inanities in CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour's impassioned address at the Committee to Protect Journalists dinner against granting any respect to conservatives in the "news" media product is not enough. In a second look at the transcript, one can see how Amanpour complained that Hillary Clinton was judged by an "exceptionally high bar" and Trump an "exceptionally low bar." She…

Alt-Left Insanity: National Tantrum Spreads

Call it a big-league freakout (in tribute to our new PeOTUS). Or maybe mass insanity. I prefer to call it the National Tantrum. It’s hard to tell which group has lost its grip on reality more -- liberal activists or their brothers and sisters in arms in the media. The activists are protesting, marching, rioting and vandalizing their way across lefty America, because conservative America wouldn’t…

'Bad Santa 2' a Sign of American Culture's Race to the Bottom

It's a hard call which is worse: Bad Santa 2 or its juvenile fans. By any measure, the movie, and its reception in many quarters, is proof positive that American culture is witnessing a race to the bottom. When the first Bad Santa was released in 2003, I described Santa as a "chain-smoking, drunken, foul-mouthed, suicidal, sexual predator. He is shown soiling himself in Santa's chair, vomiting…

Sore Spot: Trump Raised 'Climategate' E-Mails in NY Times Interview

The New York Times released a full transcript of its on-the-record chat with the President-Elect, and while the liberal media sensed a "softening" of Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric, climate skeptics were pleased he brought up the "Climategate" scandal that liberals would rather forget. Back in 2009, the Times refused to propagate revealing e-mails between climate-change activists (usually…

App Store Users Posting Harsh Reviews of Liberal Media Outlets

Conservative Google Play and Apple users have taken advantage of an app that is used to review media outlets – taking complaints about liberal bias to the grass roots, which have certain outlets a bit concerned. According to Digiday, since the election, many news publishers such as CNN, Mic, Quartz and USA Today have been bombarded by one-star reviews and citing “liberal bias” as their main…

Rolling Stone Reveals How 'Sex Workers' Are Opposing Trump

Rolling Stone has a new article about how "sex workers" are supposedly so outraged about the election of Donald Trump that they are now actively working to oppose him. Is that for real? The magazine hasn't exactly had a very good track record on sex related stories after that discredited article about a certain rape on campus has proven.

WashPost: Michelle Obama’s Departure Ends ‘Singular Era for Fashion'

What would Thanksgiving Day be without more gushing over the Obamas? The Washington Post on Thursday declared That Michelle Obama’s “departure from the East Wing signaled the end of a singular era for American fashion.” The piece by Robin Givhan contrasts with the writer’s bashing of the looks of conservative women such as Carly Fiorina, who she mocked as a “style bully.”

New Yorker Editor Provides Cover for Obama's Hollowing of Democrats

Even on his way out the door, they can't get off their bended knee. The last eight years have provided countless examples of media fawning over President Obama -- make that last dozen years, since his coming-out party at the Democrats' national convention in Boston.

Press Is Largely Ignoring Recent Awesome Fossil Fuel-Related News

Since Donald Trump's election, environmental zealots have mostly had a very rough two weeks — and Donald Trump has had nothing to do with any of it. Two developments they consider really bad (meaning good for the rest of us) far outweigh the single item they're celebrating. First, in Wyoming, just two days after the election, their "fracking is bad" Exhibit A in Pavillion, Wyoming was completely…

WashPost Advises How LGBTers Can 'Survive Thanksgiving' -- Stay Home

Steven Petrow, the Washington Post’s LGBT political correctness czar (and occasional advice columnist) wrote one of those annoying liberal columns about “surviving” Thanksgiving with the haters titled “How LGBT people can survive Thanksgiving in a President-elect Trump world.” Captain Politeness shared a tweet that said: “Not all Trump supporters are racist, but all of them decided that racism…
