Ridiculous: Whoopi Claims Media Gave Trump '98% Positive' Coverage
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich appeared on Tuesday’s The View where he was grilled by the panel on Comey, the media and Trump.

CBS: Trump-Killing Play Simply ‘Echoing the Political Environment’
CBS This Morning on Tuesday broke with NBC and actually covered a shocking New York play in which a Donald Trump lookalike is stabbed to death. Yet, journalist Jamie Wax offered a one-sided take, only citing those who praised the blood-soaked adaption of the Shakespeare play. He dismissed, “What's remarkable about Julius Caesar is that it seems to always echo the political environment in which it…
MSNBC Hits DNC Chair From Left: Are Dems ‘Woke Enough?’
In a interview with Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez during Tuesday’s 10 a.m. ET hour, MSNBC anchor Hallie Jackson pressed the party leader on whether Democrats should move even farther to the left: “There’s been a lot of discussion about how the DNC is working on a message of unity when there is a wing of the party that wants to see a more forceful move to the left.

MSNBC Host Agrees With Lib Donor: Republicans ‘on Crazy Train’
With the completely un-newsworthy chyron “Democratic Donor Calling for Trump’s Impeachment” plastered across the screen, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle brought on liberal super-donor Tom Steyer so that she could ask him what options liberals had to get rid of President Trump, since Republicans “are not getting off” of “that crazy train.”
Hypocritical Morning Joe Denounces Trump Cabinet Meeting
Tuesday’s Morning Joe almost immediately began with a complete freak-out over the Trump administration’s cabinet meeting on Monday.

LGBT Trump Supporters: Pride Month Shouldn’t Be Partisan
The LGBT community is anything but monolithic—after all, its symbol is the rainbow. But when it comes to political ideology, Republicans often feel left out.

Finally: Journalist Writes of Liberals’ ‘Righteous, Ineffectual’ Rage

VH1 Show Features Woman Spanked While Reading the Bible in S&M Scene
The June 12th episode of VH-1’s Daytime Divas, titled “Coma Bump,” took a perverse twist with a storyline about the Christian host, Heather, and her husband, Andrew.
