Wallace Zaps the AP's Pace Over Trump Financial Transparency Comments

At the end of the panel discussion on the most recent Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace asked the Associated Press's Julie Pace how big of a deal she thought President-Elect Donald Trump's "transparency" in moving away from direct involvement in his business interests would be. Her answer came across to me as self-important, given that she basically said that the she and the press were going…

On PBS, Shields Slams Trump Tweets as 'Cyberbullying' of Unions, Media

The polite liberal bubble – where they are constantly upset about the incivility of Donald Trump but see themselves as the Essence of Reasonableness as they wail about impending dicatorship – is still full of hot air about Trump tweets. On Friday’s PBS NewsHour, anchor Judy Woodruff asked her regular columnist panel about his failure to stop tweeting. New York Times columnist David Brooks said…

Reince Priebus Nails Chuck Todd on Whether RNC Hacked by Russia

One of the big changes of the new Trump era is that when the mainstream media attempts to promote fake news, there will be consequences. And one of the consequences is that the purveyors of such fake news will be humiliated on national television as happened on both Saturday and Sunday over whether Russia hacked the Republican National Committee as was claimed in a Friday New York Times fake news…

On Sunday's Reliable Sources on CNN, during a discussion of the possibility that the Russian government actively tried to thwart Hillary Clinton from getting elected, host Brian Stelter at one point wondered if there was a "national emergency" in Donald Trump's election: "We're talking about a candidate who's lost in a historic way in terms of the popular vote but clearly won in the Electoral…

Schweizer Switcheroo: ABC Hated Clinton-Bashing, Touts Trump-Trashing

Last year, ABC's George Stephanopoulos used his perch as anchor of This Week to trash author Peter Schweizer for his book Clinton Cash, which alleged serious conflicts of interest between the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton's State Department.

NPR's Dionne: Next, Trump Will Name Mexican Kingpin to Run the DEA

National Public Radio likes to think it's about civility (not rudeness) and real news (not fake news). But when it comes to Donald Trump, on Friday night NPR became the promoter of a rude and disparaging joke on All Things Considered. Washington Post columnist and NPR contributor E. J. Dionne passed along a joke from unfunny leftist Andy Borowitz in The New Yorker: that Trump's picks were so…

After Megyn Kelly Dustup, Bristol Palin Tells Kathy Griffin 'Grow Up!'

As a liberal feminist comedian, Kathy Griffin has never shied away from mocking the Palins, so it’s not surprising that Bristol Palin blogged that Griffin needs to “grow up” after she gave Donald Trump the middle-finger “salute” at a recent event with Fox News host Megyn Kelly.

CNN: Ohio Abortion Ban 'Could Be a Problem' for 'Right to Choose'

On Saturday's New Day on CNN, during a seven and a half minute segment dealing with Ohio's "Heartbeat Bill" that seeks to ban abortion after a heartbeat can be detected, partisan phraseology associated with the liberal side of the issue were repeatedly used by the various on-air CNN personalities who commented on the issue, while the only couple of times when the word choice preferred by…

Reckless Fake News Newsweek Tweet: 'Trump Supporters Booed John Glenn'

The unsolicited "Step away from your Twitter account" advice Donald Trump is constantly receiving needs to be turned around on certain members of the media. One such person would be Kurt Eichenwald at Newsweek — except, as will be seen later, the magazine apparently lets him intemperately and obsessively tweet at will. In claiming that Donald Trump's victory rally audience in Iowa began booing at…

Moby: ‘Americans Are Either Really Stupid or Incredibly Bigoted'

American pop musician Moby (perhaps best known in his home country for “South Side,” his duet with Gwen Stefani), is a Hillary Clinton supporter not shy about personally offending half of his country. He recently talked to Kate Mossman of the left-leaning British magazine The New Stateman about “how dumb and delusional so many Americans are” for having voted for Donald Trump. “Because really --…

Mother Jones Blogger Admits Liberals ‘Tend to Sneer’ at Working Class

Though it’s not clear whether the Democratic party will produce a post-presidential-election “autopsy report” like Republicans did in early 2013, there has been a lot of self-scrutiny among liberals since Hillary Clinton’s surprise loss. One example is Kevin Drum's Friday post written in response to a fellow liberal’s cluelessness. After New York Times columnist Paul Krugman claimed to be unaware…
