Discussing a focus group of Trump supporters convened by Frank Luntz that aired on Sunday’s Face the Nation, CBS News political analyst Jamelle Bouie promptly trashed them as representing the belief among social scientists (i.e. fellow liberals) that there’s been “a distinct rise in racial resentment and anti-black attitudes” in America resulting as a fact of the Obama presidency.

As he opened Sunday's Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN, host Zakaria brought up his background as a secular Muslim as he condemned Donald Trump's "bigotry and demagoguery" in the show's regular "Fareed's Take" segment. At one point, he seemed to compare himself to secular German Jews who criticized Adolf Hitler in the 1930s as he referred to the diaries of Victor Klemperer and showed archival footage of…

Washington Post drama critic Peter Marks promoted liberal actor George Takei and his new (failing) musical on Broadway about the internment of Japanese Americans. Neither man breathed a word in the paper about Franklin Roosevelt. Instead, it topically turned on Donald Trump: “Takei would dearly love it if the people stirring up a new round of paranoia would come to Allegiance and face the…

Josh Lederman at the Associated Press spent the final two paragraphs of his Wednesday evening report on a meeting between President Barack Obama and Israel's President Reuven Rivlin describing "the White House's annual Hanukkah celebration." He wrote that Rivlin "lit a menorah that was made in his homeland during the 1920s." What was said before Rivlin lit the menorah should have been news. As…

On Friday's Andrea Mitchell Reports on MSNBC, as guest and NBC host Chuck Todd attempted to psychoanalyze Donald Trump supporters, host Mitchell compared Trump voters to those who supported segregationist Alabama Democratic Governor George Wallace in the 1968 presidential campaign, as she and Todd both suggested that Trump supporters believe America was "great" when it was more "majority white."

The Trump-hating media is displaying all the usual blindness. They don’t realize their own rhetorical excess, so they sound like Trump in reverse. See Time magazine once again granting their web space to wild hyperbole from former NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The headline? "What Donald Trump and ISIS Have in Common: The 2016 candidate has more in common with the terrorist group than he does…

The most terrible, hurrible take in sports this week for once did not belong to Stephen A. Smith or Skip Bayless. Instead that “honor” belongs to Charles Barkley. In advance of the GOP Debate on Tuesday night, to air on his sister network CNN, Barkley was asked on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” for his thoughts on, and explanation for the rise Donald Trump.

Okay, so Blue Bloods’ Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) is essentially the television spirit animal of all conservatives. On Friday night’s edition, an episode titled “Flags of Our Fathers,” (see what they did there? No, you don’t yet. But you will) an insulting and silly anti-war nut does his part to throw gasoline on the flaming fire of anti-war radicalism by organizing a protest, complete with flag…

In the middle of the furor over Donald Trump’s Muslim remarks, Hillary Clinton managed to get out an e-mail titled “A Word on Donald Trump.” There was nothing unexpected in one sense. She disagreed and was attacking him. Ho hum. But then she bragged of  how she defended women.

It may sound like a parody, but CNN Newsroom on Friday actually ran a piece highlighting the plight of Satanists seeking greater acceptance of their beliefs in the predominantly Judeo-Christian U.S. as a preview of this Sunday's edition of This is Life on CNN. As This is Life host Lisa Ling appeared live at the end of the 2:00 p.m. hour of CNN Newsroom with Brooke Baldwin, Ling ended up…

In reaction to the Planned Parenthood fetal tissue harvesting videos, Rolling Stone decided to seek out an expert opinion. In their words, they sought to interview Dr. Cheryl Chastine, “an actual abortion provider, not a pundit or a politician — about all this.” As if abortion doctors weren't political activists? The author is Andrea Grimes, last mocked for penning this notion in Rolling Stone…

In honor of Planned Parenthood's National Day of Solidarity, Teen Vogue wanted to do something to show their gratitude toward the abortion giant and “how hard they work to keep all of us healthy,” by giving them free advertisement…I mean, a warm and heartfelt article on stories told by 10 different women and their experiences with (heartfelt endorsements of) with Planned Parenthood.

According to David Roberts, activist conservatives are “bending the political system to their will” not by scoring policy victories but by taking their cues from “fever dreams” (i.e., conspiracy theories). In a Thursday article, Roberts suggested two reasons why conservatives generally are more inclined than liberals to buy into CTs. One is that for conservatives, not trusting “the political…

The callousness towards human life at Planned Parenthood is such that it believes that the remains of preborn babies killed during abortions are just like any other "medical waste," and that sending them to landfills — or, perhaps even incinerators — is therefore "humane." That's what one must conclude from reading an Associated Press report Friday evening which strived mightily to play defense…
