Media Eviscerate Bannon; Encourage Vulgar, Anti-Christian Savage

Scores of people on the left and right who are worthy of media censure. Yet, while many media outlets eviscerate Steve Bannon, people like gay activist and writer Dan Savage tend to get a pass.

NYT Records Election Panic Hitting Kerry's Fun Antarctic Trip

"The trip began a day before the election, and Mr. Kerry had confidently predicted a Hillary Clinton victory." Ah! It was the best of times, it was the best of times. Not a hint that anything could possibly ruin the upbeat mood of what was essentially an Election Day victory lap by Secretary of State John Kerry and his merry band of liberals to the bottom of the world.

NYT Has Blue State Blues: '2 Americas: One That Hates, One That Heals'

Post-election, the New York Times seems dimly aware it has a “red state” credibility problem, but its pattern of coverage shows it has a long way to go. Sunday it whined about how the imminent Trumper invasion posted a threat to the cultural life of Washington, D.C., not exactly a top issue for blue-collar Macomb County voters. They aren’t as comfortable in red Texas, as shown by Manny Fernandez'…
