NY Post Writer Shames Collegian for Scoring 100 Points
Only in this nutso, PC era can sports records be referred to as "ill-gotten achievements." That's how the New York Post's Phil Mushnick refers to a college basketball player's recent 100-point game. It's not an achievement to be celebrated, but something inappropriate and politically incorrect.

De Niro: 'Low Life' Trump, Worse Than Any Character I've Played
Ardently anti-Trump actor Robert De Niro felt right at home on The View set Monday, as the liberal co-hosts reveled in his hatred for the President. Even as he was there to promote his newest films, the hosts were more interested in hearing his bizarre takes on President Trump and his children.

NYT: ‘Trump Has Weaponized the Inspector General’
Donald Trump had a decent week politically and New York Times columnists couldn’t handle it, responding in different bizarre ways. Business columnist James Stewart responded with a galling story, “Trump Has Weaponized the Inspector General.” So the Democrats have been weaponizing impeachment since before Donald Trump was even in office -- but suddenly an accurate summation of the ethical meltdown…

Whoopi Berates McCain Over Impeachment: ‘Girl, Please Stop Talking'
The View co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Meghan McCain had a nasty fight on Monday’s show when the Republican co-host accused her liberal co-hosts of not wanting to hear a conservative perspective, “ever.” The argument started as the hosts were hyperventilating that Republicans were not “fulfilling their oath” to impeach President Trump and McCain tried to rein in her co-hosts’ emotional reactions…

What a JOKE: Nets Tout Fears of GOP ‘Failing to Be Impartial Jurors'
On Monday, the network morning shows seized on laughable Democratic spin accusing Senate Republicans of “failing to be impartial jurors” in the upcoming impeachment trial of President Trump. This from the same media that hasn’t expressed any concern over Democratic senators running for president while presiding over the impeachment of the Republican incumbent they’re vying to replace.

Qatar-Funded Al Jazeera Fights Facebook Over ‘State-Controlled’ Label
Facebook announced a new policy to label state-funded media on its platform. Qatar-backed outlet Al Jazeera has a problem with that. In a letter sent by the media outlet’s lawyers to Facebook’s Vice President Jennifer Gillian Newstead and Head of Global Policy Management Monika Bickert, Al Jazeera wrote that Facebook’s policy would cause “substantial and irreparable harm” to its reputation.

Nets Cheer Hallmark Flip on LGBTQ Ads, Tout SPLC, GLAAD Rhetoric
Hallmark’s reversal on pulling Zola’s “lesbian” wedding ad sent another shockwave through the media world after it had just been whipped up into a frenzy. CBS, ABC and NBC’s morning shows all featured news on the “controversial” redecision, though unsurprisingly they leaned almost exclusively on LGBTQ talking points from the SPLC and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD.)

Judging Time By Its Covers: Cartoon, Scary Trump vs. Inspiring Dems
Liberals in the media will often say that bias is in the eye of the beholder. But simply looking at each week’s Time magazine shows a stark difference between how the sunny, happy Democrats are portrayed and apocalyptic, often terrifying Donald Trump. It’s no surprise that the legacy media outlet chose teenage environmental extremist Greta Thunberg as the 2019 Person of the Year. But this…

Brit Journo: Unlike Corbyn, Bernie Has No 'Whiff of Anti-Semitism'
On Morning Joe, Edward Luce of the UK's Financial Times says if Bernie Sanders were the Democrat candidate, that unlike Jeremy Corbyn, he "wouldn't have the whiff of anti-Semitism about him."

MRC's Brent Baker was monitoring CBS correspondent Major Garrett's podcast The Takeout with three CBS "embeds" in primary states -- LaCrai Mitchell in South Carolina, Nicole Sganga in Iowa, and Musadiq Bidar in Iowa. He found the impeachment-promoting, impeachment-obsessed Washington press corps had a major disconnect with the country, even from Democratic primary voters.
