Oopsie! CNN's Acosta Inadvertently Makes Strong Case for a Border Wall
If the Guinness World Records were to ever have a category for self-owning, this tweet by CNN's Jim Acosta would definitely be towards the top of the list. Acosta apparently thought his January 10 tweet was an argument for why a border wall is unnecessary. Instead, he accidentally revealed why a border barrier such as the steel slats he featured were very effective in stopping the flow of…

Tax Time! Media Defend Socialist Ocasio-Cortez’s 70% Tax Idea
If there’s one thing liberal media love, it’s the idea of raising taxes on the rich. It’s something they have in common with freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. As a self-identifying Democratic-Socialist, Ocasio-Cortez has plenty of expensive ideas for the government, including a Green New Deal she suggested paying for with much higher taxes on the wealthiest.

Discrimination is always an important talking point for the left. Unless it involves Catholics and other Christians -- then, no so much.

Wow: MSNBC Calls Out Dems' 'Sudden Outrage' 'Hypocrisy' Over Border
It’s so rare that a member of the media actually confronts Democrats on anything, that it's worth noting when they do. That happened on Thursday's Morning Joe on MSNBC, when anchor Willie Geist asked Democrat guest how his party could call something “immoral” that they voted for back in 2006.

Media Let Dems Off the Hook: ‘No Incentive’ to Compromise
Since the government shutdown began in late December, the media have made sure to repeatedly lay the blame solely on President Trump and Republicans in Congress.

Facebook Fibs About Collaborating with Conservatives
The Wall Street Journal claimed that there is a major collaboration between conservatives and Facebook. But an expert who was involved says this is exaggerated. Facebook claimed it has been consulting conservatives for advice on how to police online content without drawing conservative accusations of censorship.

USA Today's Armour Suggests Court-Ordered Pay For College Athletes
Progressives in the sports media are among the strongest advocates of pay for college athletes. The New York Times has advocated for it. So has Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (in an article in The Guardian), and so have Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe of Fox Sports 1. After Monday's national championship football game, USA Today's Nancy Armour suggests the NCAA either gets with the pay for play times or a…

Neal McDonough’s Faith, Fidelity Has Cost Him in Hollywood
For more than a year Hollywood has been working on the role of a lifetime, playing an idealistic, naive industry suddenly shocked -- shocked! -- to learn it’s full of pervs and casting couch horndogs. The performance, including tears, almost believable surprise and deft use of hashtag props has mostly earned rave reviews from critics who call it a “brave” performance.
