Will Smith: Trump Support Is ‘Collective Insanity’
Will Smith thinks anyone who supports Trump is insane. Really. Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell have had a running feud for almost a decade.

Recently, both Vox’s Zack Beauchamp and New York magazine’s Jonathan Chait have argued that ideological conservatism isn’t (and never has been) the major reason for Republican electoral success, and that those who consistently vote GOP because they believe in small government and low taxes are greatly outnumbered by those who do so because they’re racists.
NBC Ignores the Resignations of High Ranking DNC Officials Over Emails
Major news broke Tuesday regarding high ranking Democratic National Committee personnel losing their jobs, but you would never know it if you watched NBC Nightly News.

Bozell & Graham Column: Media Convention Tilt Unmissable -- Again

Hostin: Saying the Media Is Biased Is 'Dangerous and Wrong'
In a segment that seems to be catered for the Media Research Center today, The View panel argued for half the show on whether or not media bias exists. ABC's Senior Legal Correspondent Sunny Hostin was the most vocal liberal panelist who sparred with FNC’s Jedediah Bila who first brought up the topic. Before Bila could even finish her sentence, Hostin jumped in to shake her head emphatically and…
Nets Excited ‘Oracle of Omaha’ Buffett Is Backing Clinton, Skip Label
All three networks on Monday night and Tuesday morning touted liberal investor Warren Buffett endorsing Hillary Clinton.

Hypocritical NBC Frets Over Trump’s ‘Rigged’ Election Claim
At the top of Tuesday’s NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie proclaimed: “Donald Trump launches a new attack against Hillary Clinton and says he's concerned the election is going to be rigged against him.” In a discussion with Bloomberg Politics editor Mark Halperin minutes later, she noted: “...he made that intriguing comment yesterday about the system being rigged. Some people interpreted that…
