Journos Trash Ivanka Trump and New Book: ‘Rachel Dolezal of Feminism’
Ivanka Trump’s new book – Women Who Work – came out on May 2, and media responses have been virulently critical, overtly political, or both.

Daily Caller Fact Check: GOP Obamacare-Repeal Beer Party Didn't Happen
After the House narrowly passed an Obamacare-repeal measure on Thursday, the leftist media memes launched some unreal "news."

Nets Cheer Dems ‘Taunting’ GOP Over ‘Shame’ of Health Care Bill
On Friday, the network morning shows reveled in Democrats childishly “taunting” Republicans on the House floor after the GOP health care plan passed.

Cheering on Blue Atlanta, NY Times Cites ‘Heavy Dollop of Racism'
The front of Thursday’s New York Times featured more wishful thinking on the part of the paper, which is still waiting for that off-year anti-Trump electoral surge: “Atlanta’s Suburbs Wonder if Newcomers Will Turn Them Blue.” Fausset threw some old, extraneous accusations of racism into the bargain, while emphasizing alleged conservative intolerance of liberals (in a world where the evidence…
'Scandal' Promotes a 'Nasty Woman' as President
ABC’s Scandal has still not gotten past the fictional inauguration of their next president. Granted, that isn’t that much different from how things are for liberals in the real world, but now it’s getting tiring. Wait, that’s not different from real life either.
