Larry King: 'Did Fox News and the Right Wing Create Trump?'

On Thursday night’s Politicking with Larry King, the liberal pundit asked West Wing actor Richard Schiff what he thought about Donald Trump and his popularity. After discussing how Trump was a larger-than-life character like Citizen Kane, King asked Schiff: “Do you think it’s Fox News and the right-wing that created Trump?”

We Must Not Destroy the Constitution to Save It

I really worry that the Trump movement is a misguided reaction to the abuses of power by the ruling class in Washington, D.C. In our dire predicament, we need to be very thoughtful about our remedy.

California's $15/Hr. Min. Wage Gives Public Union Employees Big Raises

A Los Angeles Times story by Liam Dillon and Patrick McGreevy hailed the "historic" increase in the state-mandated minimum wage to $15 an hour. Apparently giddy with excitement, the pair also unwisely told readers that many public-sector employees who earn far more will be receiving big raises as a result of the legislation with having to bother negotiating with the government entities involved…

PP Chief on 'Hardball': GOP Platform Criminalizes Abortion Patients

Donald Trump only said explicitly what his other GOP primary challengers think and what is already in the Republican Party platform, according to Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, who made the assertion to MSNBC's Chris Matthews on tonight's Hardball. Matthews, who the night before said that making abortion illegal was "fascistic," failed to challenge Richards's assertion.

Nets Punt Again on Hillary’s E-Mails; FNC Exposes Her ‘Legal Misery'

Despite reports trickling out about the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal and one about Clinton soon being interviewed by the bureau, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC again saw no reason to keep their viewers abreast of this scandal on Thursday night, with only 16 seconds spent all week on it by the evening newscasts.

CBS Only Network to Ignore Clinton Temper Tantrum

Both ABC and NBC’s nightly news broadcasts on Thursday shared a video of Hillary Clinton losing her temper when asked a question at a rally by a Bernie Sanders supporter. The video shows Clinton ranting and pointing her finger in the face of the questioner. While CBS found time to include Clinton and Sanders’ criticism of Donald Trump, they ignored the less-than-flattering video of Clinton. On…

Surprise: Don Lemon Labels Hillary's Pro-Abortion Smear 'A Bit Much'

CNN's Don Lemon refreshingly went after Hillary Clinton on Thursday's New Day over her smear of Republicans/conservatives on Wednesday's AC360. Clinton used Donald Trump's stumble on the abortion to attack pro-lifers in general: "They all want to dictate a women's reproductive health care decisions...Now maybe, they aren't quite as open about it, as Donald Trump was earlier today. But they all…

MLB Partners with Fox for Female Baseball Pilot ‘Pitch’

Just weeks after MLB openly begged for a gay baseball player to reveal himself, to not be the only major American sports league without an openly gay player, it seems they will now try to one-up the NFL and NBA by playing host to the first female player in major American sports history.

WSJ Gun-Training Story Cites Harvard Prof Who Called Owners 'Wimps'

In an otherwise decent story about senior citizens taking up shooting lessons for self-defense, the Wall Street Journal's James R. Hagerty devoted two paragraphs to an anti-gun researcher by the name of Dr. David Hemenway who essentially argued that it's a bad idea for senior citizens to keep guns in their houses. Of course, Hagerty left out how the Harvard researcher has previously sneered that…

On CNN, PP's Laguens: GOPers 'Punish Women Every Single Day'

As Planned Parenthood's executive vice president Dawn Laguens appeared as a guest on Thursday's CNN New Day to react to Donald Trump's initial comments about proscribing legal punishment for women who have illegal abortions, the pro-abortion activist acted as propagandist as she repeatedly asserted that pro-life Republicans seek to "punish" women by illegalizing abortion, and claimed that…

David 'Dying Husk' Brooks Praised Reagan the 'Revolutionary' in 2004

Wednesday morning, Tim Graham at NewsBusters observed how pseudo-conservative David Brooks, who is no fan of Donald Trump, gave the current GOP frontrunner credit for having "destroyed a dying husk" of "obsolete Reagan ideology" in the Republican Party. That's fascinating stuff, given the catch of the day by Instapundit's Ed Driscoll. You see, 12 years ago, Brooks gave Reagan credit for having…
