Politico Fantasizes About ‘Goldwater Moment’ Forcing Trump Resignation

Whenever liberals in the media approvingly cite conservative leaders, like Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, it’s to somehow contrast them as suddenly reasonable and sensible. Unlike the modern Republican Party. So it’ not a shock that Politico is looking to Goldwater as a model for how the Senate GOP should respond to Donald Trump: In other words, tell him to resign.

It’s hard to keep track of all the fake news, these days. It seems covering for Democrats lying isn’t good enough for CNN anymore; now, their analysts are helping the Democrats’ impeachment effort by fabricating stories themselves. Case in point? Wednesday, CNN analyst Joe Lockhart tweeted an appalling conversation he overheard between two Republican Senators during that day’s impeachment trial,…

NY Times Laments GOP's 'Restricted TV Feed,' 'Reporters Roped Off'

New York Times media correspondent Michael Grynbaum brought out the whine list in a Wednesday article headlined "Restricted TV Feed From Senate, and Reporter Roped Off at the Side."

Army Dramedy on Deportation: Because of ‘Some A**hole in Washington'

Last week, Paramount’s latest television series, 68 Whiskey, introduced viewers to the plight of Sergeant Rosa Alvarez (Cristina Rodlo) whose DACA status is being revoked.

‘Party of Five’: Mexican Caterer Wearing Sombrero 'a Little Gross'

We’ve seen how little Freeform’s Party of Five thinks about U.S. immigration laws, but it turns out that was just the tip of the iceberg. Apparently, the 2020 reboot also doesn’t think highly of rich white people either. What a predictable development for this blatantly political show.
