Kristof Savages Lauer's Forum; Grilling Hillary Was an 'Embarrassment'
By midday Friday, the liberal media’s primal instinct to defend Hillary Clinton and attack NBC’s Today co-host Matt Lauer dragged on past the 36 hours mark in smearing Lauer for simply asking her about the e-mail scandal on Wednesday night was on full display with Wednesday’s CNN Tonight excoriating Lauer’s questioning as an “embarrassment to journalism.”

NYT Hits Pot-Smoking, ‘Disqualified’ Johnson on Aleppo, Falls on Face
The networks finally notices the presidential candidacy of Libertarian Gary Johnson, when it can show him stumbling. The New York Times jumped on to his "Aleppo" flub with two left feet -- only to fall flat on its face as well. Times reporter Alan Rappeport filed the giddily hostile “‘What Is Aleppo?’ Libertarian Presidential Candidate Asks in an Interview Stumble.” The text box was unyielding: “…

Sanders Style Socialism! Networks Ignore Massive Government Job Growth
It’s a Bernie Sanders dreamland. In socialism, government takes over the means of production. One of the first steps is to grow government. The latest jobs report gave us terrifying proof that’s happening as government jobs are now 9,932,000 more than manufacturing jobs.
9,932,000. That’s not Venezuela. Or even Cuba. But we’ve grown government more than journalists care to admit. Even as both…

For Second Day, NY Times Pummels Lauer As a 'Loser,' a 'Disaster'
The New York Times offered a second day of slamming Matt Lauer in the front section, both the top staff editorial headlined “A Debate Disaster Waiting to Happen” and a snide James Poniewozik review headlined “In Battle of Candidates, Lauer Is the Loser.”
It’s quite clear that if Hillary Clinton had actually won this side-by-side interview, the media elites would not be brutalizing Lauer. Their…

WashPost: Don't Let 'Minor E-Mail Scandal' Empower a 'Dangerous Man'
In perhaps their most brazen, pro-Hillary article yet, the Washington Post’s Editorial Board on Friday came out swinging at conservatives, independents, democrats, football players, Matt Lauer, and anyone else who dare question Clinton’s private e-mail server. With much hand wringing and pearl-clutching, the Post’s staff opined that “history would judge” Americans for obsessing over a “minor e-…

Beinart: Sexism Causes 'Unusually Truthful' Clinton to Worsen Problems
Appearing as a guest on Friday's New Day to discuss the issue of whether sexism toward women has caused more negative feelings toward Hillary Clinton, liberal CNN political commentator Peter Beinart -- also of The Atlantic -- theorized that because, according to Politifact, Clinton is an "unusually truthful" political candidate, there must be some other factor like sexism that is causing her…

Univision Under Siege
When covering the biases inherent to Univision's television news coverage, it is very important to look beyond the stories themselves. A recent report from The Wall Street Journal reminds us of the critical need to take the occasional dive into the underlying business environment at Univision, and to note the points at which it intersects with its news coverage.

Libs Gone Insane: ‘An Anti-Trump Post-Apocalyptic Cannibal Love Story’
Editor’s Note: Normal people might find some of this offensive. (We hope.)
I’m convinced that Hollywood creates much of its “entertainment” from Mad Libs. You remember Mad Libs, don’t you? They were sheets of paper with text on them including blank spaces for adjectives, nouns and verbs. Really a brilliant concept, designed for group/party fun.

Nets Go to Town on Johnson Flub, Downplay Clinton E-Mail Questions
The “Big Three” network news programs were all a buzz Thursday evening over a seemingly inexplicable exchange that occurred on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that morning. “And what is Aleppo,” Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson inquired after being asked by journalist Mike Barnicle what his plan for the city was. “Johnson stumped not by a gotcha question but a basic foreign policy question in…
