Conservatives warned us President Barack Obama’s health care reform would be unsustainable. Reporters brushed off the claims, essentially cheerleading on behalf of the administration. In the annals of media bias, ObamaCare reportage will have its own meaty chapter. Reporters didn’t do the ObamaCare heavy lifting by themselves. Celebrities promoted the overhaul like it was a $200 million film with…

ESPN's Bryant: White Media Intimidated Brave Dissenting QB Kaepernick
ESPN Magazine’s Howard Bryant: insightful on sports, but prone to suffocating liberal piety when he starts talking politics. As a special treat for fans, ESPN posted online Bryant’s “The Truth” column for the upcoming September 19 NFL Preview II Issue: “Response to protest shows the power of the sports machine.” That would be the protest of infamous San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin…

Chris Cuomo Calls Out Tim Kaine on Sanctuary Cities Existence
Sanctuary cities? What are they? I never heard of them. They must be phantoms.
Such was the feigned ignorance of Democrat vice-presidential candidate Tim Kaine on CNN's New Day on Thursday. It was so embarrassing in its pretense that even host Chris Cuomo had to call Kaine out on it as you can see:

Bozell & Graham Column: No Respect for National Anthem Haters
The “Black Lives Matter” movement is two years old, so it’s a little odd that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick suddenly has become a convert. He must certainly be pleased that everyone knows he refused to stand up during the National Anthem at a preseason game in Green Bay.
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people…

ABC Touts How 'Careless' Hillary Clinton Was With Classified Material
The Big Three's evening newscasts all devoted full reports on Friday to the FBI's release of its notes on their interview of Hillary Clinton over her e-mail scandal. However, ABC's Cecilia Vega stood out for spotlighting how "careless," as FBI Director James Comey put it, Mrs. Clinton was in her handling of classified material on her private e-mail server: "Just how careless? Investigators say…

WADR: Will Shrum Curse Doom Hillary's Campaign?
This election is over! You got that? Hillary Clinton has already won.
Only one not so little problem. The one making this declaration is none other than the Eddie Mush of politics aka Bob Shrum. This time, the extremely unlucky political consultant (0 for 8 in presidential candidate wins) who infamous for possessing the "Shrum curse" might have cast a pall of misfortune upon the Hillary Clinton…

NY Mag Writer: Conservatives Like ‘Highly Emotional’ Fake News
Shorter version of Brian Feldman’s Wednesday article: Sure, Mark Zuckerberg’s a genius, but he still hasn’t come up with a foolproof way to keep Facebook from promoting right-wing propaganda. “Facebook’s problem isn’t that it suppresses ‘conservative news’ or allows ‘fake news,’” wrote Feldman. “It’s that those two categories are increasingly indistinguishable.”

WashPost's Applebaum Blames Syrian Disaster On ... David Cameron
It's never Dear Leader's fault, is it?
For those who haven't noticed — and that would be understandable, given the national press's and broadcast outlets' consistent lack of interest in the period involved — the ongoing and worsening disaster in Syria during the past three years has caused "physical, human and political damage on an unprecedented scale." That quote comes the subheadline at Anne…

Press Left Seething for Being Left Behind on Trump’s Trip to Mexico
According to Politico, the media were given no advance notice regarding Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s trip to meet with Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto and were instead left “seething” because they didn’t have enough time to prepare for the trip across the border to Mexico City.

NYT's Pathetic Smear: Fears Brexit Vote 'Unleashed a Wave of Violence'
Post-Brexit, the liberal media lashed out with myriad hysterical predictions of economic meltdown and threw around bitter accusations of xenophobia, with the New York Times leading the charge. Well, those dire predictions of crisis have not exactly panned out, but the Times is back trying to pump some life into the libel, by labeling any violent crime against any immigrant in England as Brexit-…

MSNBC's Joy-Ann Reid Asks Latino Trump Supporter Not to Say 'Illegals'
While filling in for the host of All In With Chris Hayes on Thursday night, MSNBC's Joy-Ann Reid clashed with Steve Cortes, a supporter of Donald Trump, asking her Latino guest not to use the word “illegals” because he was “offending or disturbing or offending lots of people who are listening.”
The liberal channel's national correspondent was surprised when Cortes refused to grant her request “…

Another Female Reporter Worries Over Why Hillary Can't 'Humanize'
Linda Feldman at the Christian Science Monitor took on the long-standing problem of the Democrats: “Can Hillary Clinton now ‘humanize’? The candidate finds whe needs to overcome a caricature.” Why can’t she project warmth? The “core challenge” is “getting voters to look beyond the caricature of her – and to actually like her.” Liberal reporters can’t face the idea that she’s not resonating.
