Amy Adams Claims Anti-Cheney Left-Wing Screed About ‘Finding Humanity'

Appearing on ABC’s Good Morning America on Wednesday to promote her new movie, Vice, an unflattering biopic about former Vice President Dick Cheney, actress Amy Adams laughably claimed that the nasty far-left hit piece focused on “finding the humanity in people who think differently than we do.”

How NUTS Is the Latest From NYT’s Paul Krugman? This Nuts.

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman was at his old “authoritarian” tricks again in “Conservatism’s Monstrous Endgame." The text box: “Apparatchiks are corroding the foundations of democracy.” Democracy has been dying quite a while in Krugland. Of the judge who declared the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, he wrote, "...it’s about assaulting democracy in general. And the current state of…

The Root's Crockett Fumes NFL a Dictator Like Trump

Eric Reid, a safety for the NFL's Carolina Panthers, has been subjected to "random" drug tests seven times in his 11 weeks with the team, and he says it's retaliation for having kneeled for three seasons and for suing the league for alleged collusion.

Scarborough Defends Judge for Suggesting Flynn Committed 'Treason'

Yesterday, we surmised that Joe Scarborough had gone "all in" with the Democrats. Scratch that. Scarborough has now placed himself even to the left of many lefties. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough defended Judge Emmet Sullivan's outburst yesterday at Michael Flynn's sentencing hearing. This, while many liberals, like Dan Abrams, and even the young lefties over at Vox, have criticized the…

FLASHBACK: In 1998, Journalists Hated the Idea of Impeachment

Twenty years ago, on December 19, 1998, the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Bill Clinton on two counts: perjury to a grand jury, and obstruction of justice. Back then, the liberal media howled about its injustice and since Clinton had a high approval rating, they insisted it would damage the Republicans for years to come. Keep these quotes in mind if the new Democratic…

Bozell & Graham Column: Little Migrant Girl Dies, Media Pounce

One of the reasons people decry the “fakeness” of the news is the selectivity of which heart-rending anecdotes are “news,” and which are not – unless they can be blamed on undesirable politicians. On December 14, The Washington Post published an online story headlined “A 7-year-old immigrant girl died after she was detained by border patrol.” The reader's immediate assumption: she died at the…

ABC/NBC Stoke Fears of a Gov. Shutdown, CBS Notes Trump ‘Compromise'

With the deadline for a budget to fully fund the federal government fast approaching (Friday), a major sticking point in the negotiations has been President Trump’s insistence of $5 billion for a border wall.

CNN Misleadingly Claims Trump Not Required to Separate Illegal Kids

On Tuesday's New Day on CNN, as John Avlon hosted the show's regular "Reality Check" segment, he again demonstrated that this part of the show is more about pushing liberal spin than it is about actual fact-checking or making the audience informed as he misleadingly claimed that the Trump admnistration was not required by law to separate children from illegal immigrant parents.
