LOL: Fake News Anchor Rather Bemoans ‘Sensationalism’ of '90s TV News
Sifting through Sunday night’s premiere of CNN’s The Nineties, the television episode included a segment on the news business and, aside from nothing about the media’s far-left bias that exploded in the 1990s, one ironic observation was that the film makers turned to Marvin Kalb and fake news master Dan Rather to lament the negatives of media expansion.
CBS to Bill Nye: Why Are People So ‘Reluctant’ to Just Trust You?

Cosmo: 'Archaic' Gender-Reveal Parties 'Damaging' to Unborn Babies
Diane Stopyra attacked the new phenomenon of gender-reveal parties for pregnant women in a Sunday item for Cosmopolitan.

When Do Internet Surveys Count? When the Liberal Media Likes Them
Throughout the 2016 election, journalists were technically correct and yet unrelenting in their criticism of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump’s reliance on the accuracy of entirely insignificant and unscientific surveys that reflected well on his candidacy and debate performances. On September 27, for instance, CNN posted a “fact-check” article, arguing that Trump “[misled] people by…

Now, the average has mysteriously disappeared. In place of the ratings is this note: “We have not received enough ratings…
Walsh Suggests Ivanka's 'Girlie' Dress Makes Her Look Like 'Property'

Kellyanne Conway Mocks Chris Cuomo's Russia Collusion Obsession
It was a marathon July 10 interview chock full of fireworks on CNN's New Day that ran into overtime to almost 36 minutes. What set it off was host Chris Cuomo's obsession with the latest Trump-Russia nothingburger. Cuomo's ire could have been set off by guest Kellyanne Conway's mockery of Cuomo's sacred issue that CNN has hung its reputation upon. However, one has to wonder if Cuomo's desperately…
The View Worries About Trump GIFs Inciting Violence Against CNN
Monday on ABC’s The View, the hosts fretted that Trump was “leading the charge” on assaults on journalists.

Co-hosts Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin continued that worrying, hyping that even more of these silly…
Scarborough Hounds Toomey Over Medicaid
Republican Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania found himself under fire as he defended the Republican Medicaid proposal on Monday’s Morning Joe.
