NY Times Column on How to Use Tax Cut Plays Into Trump's, GOP's Hands
New York Times "Your Money" scribe Ron Lieber seemed blissfully unaware that the suggestions he made and the language he used in his Friday column on how individuals and families might use their savings from the just-signed tax bill mirrors what President Donald Trump, Republicans, and conservatives have been saying for years.
Meet Husam Sam Asi, a BBC TV host and founder of ukscreen.com. Asi recently interviewed The Post stars and wasn’t satisfied with throwing the screen legends softballs. He hunkered down and challenged them with more substantial queries. For example, he reminded Meryl Streep and Steven Spielberg that President Barack Obama flexed his might against journalists via the Espionage Act.

Washington Post Sports Writer Champions Liberal Causes
What does it mean to be an NFL player in 2017? To Washington Post sports writer Adam Kilgore this season has been like no other year, as politics ensnared pro football players and philanthropy motivated them.

Bozell & Graham Column: The Grinchy Washington Post
Liberals at The Washington Post didn’t seem to have a Merry Christmas this year. They were seriously unhappy that anyone would utter the “lie” that President Trump made it safe to say “Merry Christmas” after eight years of the Obamas sending out White House “Happy Holidays” cards. But the Post also promoted an author saying "there is no Jesus, there is no God"...unlike promoting the idea Muhammad…

CNN's Lemon Shouts 'No!' 9 Times to Stop Conservative's HRC-Email Talk
At CNN, it's not unusual to see one conservative or center-right guest in a panel discussion stacked with leftists, including the host. That's bad enough, but there has clearly been an increase in the number of times the lone conservative or center-right guest also ends up on the receiving end of rude, abusive treatment one would never see directed at other panelists. Such was the case Thursday…

Newsweek’s Ivanka Story Suggests Confederate Flag in Photo Background
Newsweek, circling the drain of journalistic credibility, has resorted to immature rehashes of liberal social media clickbait, to bizarrely accuse President Trump daughter Ivanka of sending a “dogwhistle” signal to racist movements. The headline suggests that the Trump family is responsible for the ideological content of flags on boats sailing near them while on vacation. “Oops! Ivanka Trump…

Hollywood Films Warning of Climate Change Lost Audiences During 2017
How many people went to the movie theaters in the past 12 months to watch such films as Blade Runner 2049, Geostorm, Downsizing or An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power?
If you’re not one of them, you’re not alone. Each of those movies featured the catastrophic results of climate change and global warming as one of its major plot points, which failed to draw audiences in 2017.
