WashPost TV Critic on 2016 Race: Hollywood Breathed 'Fumes of Hubris'

Washington Post TV critic Hank Stuever wrote an interesting post-election piece on how the dramatic tilt among celebrities did not drag Hillary over the finish line first. “After the election, of course, it’s easy to see that Hollywood was breathing in its own fumes of hubris.” Stuever wrote: "What this election suggests is that celebrities — those with the most cachet, from Queen Bey all the…

Transition Team 'Chaos'? No Appointments in First 5-6 Weeks Is Norm

The latest media meme on President-Elect Donald Trump is that his presidential transition effort is in "chaos," "total disarray," etc. Establishment press outlets from the supposedly chastened (but not really) New York Times, to the Associated Press, to the fever swamps at the Huffington Post, are relentlessly playing that tune. As Bret Baier at Fox News noted on Special Report Wednesday night,…

Nets Drill Pipeline Supporters, Quote Opponents 7 Times More

Peaceful protest is a protected right in America. Trespassing on private property, tire slashing, damaging equipment, arson, Molotov cocktail-throwing and shooting at police are not acts of protest. They are crimes. Even eco-terrorism.

Hannity's Revenge: Listing Liberals Laughing at a 'President Trump'

MRC president Brent Bozell suggested to me that Sean Hannity and his staff assembled a great package on Monday night's show going back to 2011 showing all the liberals -- mostly comedians, but also a few journalists like George Stephanopoulos and Maggie Haberman -- laughing uproariously at the idea of a President Trump.
