Angry Paul Krugman Bewails 'Tainted Election....Illegitimate'

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is fighting in the last trench, still fighting the results of the free and fair 2016 presidential election that resulted in for him the unthinkable: A victory by Donald Trump. “The  Tainted Election.” "So this was a tainted election. It was not, as far as we can tell, stolen in the sense that votes were counted wrong, and the result won’t be overturned. But…

NBC, CBS, CNN's Morning Shows Yawn At Church Bombing in Egypt

As of Monday morning, NBC's Today and CNN's New Day have yet to cover the deadly terrorist attack on a Coptic Christian church in Cairo, Egypt on Sunday.

For Jorge Ramos, evidently the greatest moral imperative in his life is to thwart the enforcement of U.S. immigration law.
