How the Media Bullied Jimmy Fallon Into Hating Trump
Jimmy Fallon has a funny way of approaching his late night gig. The former Saturday Night Live star thinks it’s all about making people laugh at the end of the day. It’s not divisive, or corrosive. The “Fallon” method treats guests like … guests. Politics are fair game, but it’s not what matters most.
CNN Reporter Admits: We Report from Obama's Liberal 'Arc of History'
Soopermexican at The Right Scoop caught an amazing admission in the midnight hour on Friday morning, as CNN was beginning to mourn another Democratic loss in a special election for the House of Representatives.

Bozell & Graham Column: Al Franken Is 'Sick,' All Right
Al Franken has a new book out humbly titled Al Franken, Giant of the Senate. On that same level of attempted humor, his author’s biography states he received “his doctorate in right-wing megalomania studies from Trump University.” Stay classy, Sen. Franken.
Sycophantic press profiles of Franken express admiration for the “former comedian” as if the satire stopped. Just two months ago, The…
Huff Post: Late Night TV Might Be ‘Deepening Divides’
The Trump administration has given late night TV new life. But for all their digs at the president, Stephen Colbert and his ilk aren’t doing much better than POTUS at bringing the country together.
Media Ignored Rosy Obama Growth Forecasts, Attack Lower Trump Target
One of the more absurd spectacles in the press's coverage of the economy is the attack on the Trump White House's long-term economic growth assumptions in this week's budget release. The same reporters, pundits and outlets now ridiculing the Trump administration's belief that the economy can consistently grow by 3 percent each year beginning four years from now were stone silent when the Obama…
CNN, MSNBC Give Half-Hour to Hillary Speech, Nothing to Mike Pence
Liberal bloggers love to mock the news judgment of Fox News, but CNN and MSNBC were truly displaying their affinity for Hillary Clinton on Friday by giving more than a half-hour of live coverage to her commencement speech at Wellesley College, her alma mater. In the previous hour, Vice President Mike Pence addressed graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, but neither network noticed…
On CNN, Atlantic's Frum Slams Limbaugh; Injects Race into MT Assault
On Friday's New Day on CNN, during a discussion in which panel members fretted over Republican reaction to GOP Rep.-elect Greg Gianforte violently attacking a reporter, The Atlantic's David Frum managed to inject race into the discussion as he theorized about what Rush Limbaugh would have done if Gianforte were a black Democrat. Frum: "Had the congressman been a black Democrat, imagine what Rush…
CNN, MSNBC Fawn Over ‘Free’ ‘Feisty’ Hillary ‘Finding Her Groove’
Hillary Clinton came out of the woods to deliver another vicious anti-Trump speech Friday afternoon and the media couldn’t get enough of it. Clinton was delivering the commencement address at her alma mater Wellesley College, and both MSNBC and CNN took precious time out from their endless Russia conspiracy coverage to gush over the failed presidential candidate’s “fiery” “takedown” of our…
USA Today: Pence Not Welcome at Indy 500
Hoosier State voters elected Mike Pence to Congress for six terms. They elected him governor. Hoosiers helped elect him vice-president. Pence is a huge motor racing fan who has attended the Indianapolis 500 some 30 times, and he is rumored to be the pace car driver for the start of Sunday’s race. But USAToday suggests the vice-president will get a rude greeting Sunday at the Indy 500.
Egyptian Pastor on Christian Reaction to ISIS: ‘We’re Not Afraid'
On Friday morning, the media exploded with news of the fourth major ISIS attack against the Coptic community in a span of 6 months.

Nets Hype Kushner ‘Under Scrutiny,’ Then Admit He’s 'Not a Target'
On Friday, all three network morning shows began with anchors breathlessly declaring that President Trump’s son-in-law and White House adviser Jared Kushner was “under scrutiny” in the FBI’s Russia investigation. However, after offering the screaming salacious headlines, each broadcast quietly admitted that Kushner was not the target of the investigation nor was he accused of any wrongdoing.
Sponsors Back Out of Terrorist-Honoring Parade: A Win for the Country
By withdrawing their sponsorships, Univision and other traditional corporate sponsors of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City have listened to the voice of the overwhelming majority of their audiences and consumers, says the Media Research Center (MRC), America’s leading media watchdog. “It’s a simple lesson we hope they’ve now learned: don’t support terrorism,” said Ken Oliver-…
USAA Claims to Avoid 'Opinion Shows,' But Here's An Ad on 'Last Word'
The proof keeps coming that despite their stated "policy" of not advertising on opinion shows, USAA has advertised on wild-eyed MSNBC programming speculating on how much proof there is that Donald Trump is the "laziest, most ignorant president in history." Not much "news" in that show! Here's a USAA ad on MSNBC's The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell on March 24:
NBC, Fox Shed Light on Viral Story of 'Brave' Pregnant Teen
It’s a rare day when both Fox News and NBC News positively cover the story of a courageous young Christian woman who refused abortion. But that’s exactly what just happened. Fox News, on Thursday night, and NBC News, on Friday morning, reported on the viral story of high-school senior Maddi Runkles. Although Runkles boasts a 4.0 average and even served as student council president, she was banned…
