WashPost: ‘Reasonable Right’ No Better Than Slavery Apologists
Eve Fairbanks says that as a college senior, she “studied almost nothing but Abraham Lincoln’s speeches.” Doubtful. The Gettysburg Address needed just 271 words to restate and rededicate the purpose of America’s founding; Fairbanks requires more than 3,000 words to argue that conservatives -- even the “reasonable” ones -- are evil.

CNN on Biden Gaffes—Democrats Hold Themselves to Higher Truth Standard
Joe Biden might have set a personal record for the most gaffetastic gaffe of his storied fact-mangling career. In a discussion of Joe Biden's latest gaffe, regarding the award of a medal to a military member, a CNN panel wonders whether Biden could be hurt by his multiple misstatements because when it comes to the truth, Democrats hold themselves to a "higher standard" than Republicans.

170 Media Outlets Join CJR, ‘The Nation’ Climate Coverage Plan
Objectivity and truth-telling are no longer the most “sacred” responsibilities of the news media, at least according to the far-left The Nation magazine. It’s now … climate change. “We see Covering Climate Now as a fulfillment of journalism’s most sacred responsibilities, which are to inform people and foster constructive debate about common challenges and opportunities,” The Nation wrote on Aug…

Fox’s 'The Five' Eviscerates Lawrence O’Donnell’s ‘Bad Journalism’
How many times have we recently seen liberal “journalists” rush to air stories that they desperately hope are true but don’t stand up to scrutiny? The most recent example of this trend came on Tuesday, when MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell could barely contain himself before relying on a single source to accuse President Trump of having improper financial connections with Russia and Vladimir Putin. As…

Lemon: Right Makes Media Scapegoat; At Least We Apologize When Wrong
CNN Tonight host Don Lemon criticized fellow CNN host Chris Cuomo Thursday night for bringing pro-Trump guest Kayleigh McEnany on his show the night before. Lemon argued CNN shouldn’t be a platform for “liars” like McEnany while he defended the media as truth-tellers who “apologize” and retract reports when they “get it wrong.”
Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) save thousands of women and babies each year which makes them public enemy number one to the abortion-worshipping left in Hollywood. In the third season of Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why, Chlöe (Anne Winters), a pregnant teen seeking an abortion, is “tricked” into going to a CPC--a “traumatizing” event, according to Entertainment Weekly.
On the Fox News Channel Thursday night, primetime host Tucker Carlson and The Hill’s Joe Concha were turned loose to ridicule MSNBC and Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell, invoking a few of his worst moments alongside his fake news story that claimed President Trump’s Deutsche Bank loans were co-signed alongside Russian oligarchs. They noted that the faux macho man was a case study in how, when it…

Phony CNN Journalist Lets Guest Blame Trump for Deaths on Puerto Rico
In a truly disgusting display of partisanship during CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront Thursday, former Obama administration official (who's now passed off as a journalist), Jim Sciutto allowed Democratic strategist Maria Cardona to claim President Trump was responsible for the 3,000 Puerto Ricans who died in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.

Kaepernick Symbolizes SI's PC List of NFL's Most Influential
Ready for a really bad joke? Read Sports Illustrated's "100 Figures Who Shaped the NFL's First Century." It's an exercise in political correctness, if not downright zaniness. Malcontent Colin Kaepernick not only made the list, but is the cover photo as well. Several people on the list never set foot on an NFL playing field, and it's apparent the SI staff had ulterior motives behind their bizarre…

ABC, NBC Aid Biden’s Rationalization of Inaccurate Medal Pinning Story
Former Vice President Joe Biden found himself at the center of yet another controversy on Thursday, after it was discovered he had stitched together several stories to construct an emotional tale of pinning a medal on a serviceman in Afghanistan. If President Trump got as many details wrong about a story, the liberal media would declare that he was intentionally trying to “gaslight” the country.…

‘Speeding to Put Out a Fire’; MSNBCers Defend Comey Breaking Policy
The stench of the Swamp was on full blast in the A-block of Thursday’s Hardball, thanks to MSNBC host Chris Matthews and assorted guests defending former FBI Director James Comey in the light of a scathing report from the Justice Department’s Inspector General that said he violated DOJ policy. But for these MSNBCers, it was justified because of their hatred for President Donald Trump and that…

Hulu Rom-Com: Immigration Reform 'Ruins Lives of Innocent Immigrants'
Hulu's Four Weddings and a Funeral series just can't stop the political storylines as the series goes on. Wednesday's episode "Game Night" was all about immigration. The show takes place in Britain, so their immigration issues are a little different than ours, but you'll find that the rhetoric is pretty much the same--and, with American actress Mindy Kaling as co-creator, I'll bet they were…

Atlantic Mocks Comey by Citing His Hillary Investigation Announcement
If former FBI director James Comey thought he would find a sympathetic voice at the liberal Atlantic Magazine on the heels of a damning Department of Justice Inspector General report that found he had violated FBI rules by leaking memos to the press, he would be sorely disappointed. In fact the animosity of Atlantic writer David A. Graham even took the form out outright mockery by comparing what…

NY Times Marks Tea Party's 10th Anniversary: Rage, Anger, and Racism
New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters marked 10 years since the launch of the Tea Party movement, which spread with huge yet peaceful rallies against encroaching federal government, specifically Obamacare. Needless to say, the landmark was greeted in hostile fashion by the paper. The headline gave this backhanded compliment: “Tea Party Failed to Tame Deficits, but It Succeeded in Fueling Rage.”…
