Press Mostly Ignores Story of 19 Dead Registered to Vote in Virginia

The left continues to insist that voter fraud is a myth, specifically that "voter fraud is very rare, voter impersonation is nearly non-existent," and that "most allegations of fraud turn out to be baseless."

The Washington Post uncorked a pretty smarmy attack on the “typical” Donald Trump supporter on the front of the Sunday newspaper. The headline was “Finally. Someone who thinks like me.” Yes, the woman who thinks Trump thinks just like her was hospitalized for “homicidal ideation.”

CNN's Snarky Screen: Why Won't Gary Johnson Quit Presidential Run?

The Hill media reporter Joe Concha reports CNN returned this week to its trait of getting snarky about the presidential candidates on screen.

CNN implied Gary Johnson should just get out after his failure on MSNBC this week to name a single world leader he admires.

From ‘Hope and Change’ to ‘America Divided’

Remember when celebrities gathered en masse to convince us Barack Obama was our country's savior? They opened up their wallets, and their homes, to fundraise for him. They sang his praises in every format feasible. They took time out of their packed schedules to campaign for him. They starred in PSAs imploring us how he needed our vote.

Bozell & Graham Column: ABC Keeps 'Modernizing' the Family Leftward

ABC debuted the sitcom Modern Family in 2009 in part to push a broader acceptance of same-sex couples. But the cultural deconstructionists cannot rest until the mission is complete, so then they pushed it even further, agitating for a broader acceptance of same-sex marriage as just as sacred as traditional marriage.
