Shocker: CNN Sympathizes With Child Abusing Islamic Extremists in NM

It was bad enough when the networks attempted to hide the Islamic extremist beliefs of the suspects in the New Mexico compound that the FBI raided a few weeks ago for kidnapping and killing a 3-year-old boy, or when AP tried to spin the story as a gun problem. Now CNN’s trying to beat them all with the worst take, actually spinning the true villain of the story as “Islamophobia.”

NBC Report on McCain's Death Followed by Disturbing Talent Show Act

NBC News interrupted their Saturday night programming of America’s Got Talent to bring a somber and respectful look at the life of John McCain. What NBC didn’t account for, however, was what was playing after their special report was over.

‘Preacher’ Finale Features Nazi Wearing MAGA Hat

It’s just like AMC’s Preacher to want to go out on a low note. We’ve had our share of gruesome violence and general blasphemy this season, so now it’s time to go political. The August 26 finale “The Light Above” seems keen to remind us that if you want to “Make America Great Again,” you’re in line with Hitler…somehow.

NPR Finds Leftist to Blame Catholic Church for 'Torture' and 'Murder'

NPR was eager to spotlight enemies of the Catholic Church saying "Nope to the Pope" during his visit to Ireland. After a somewhat balanced news report, All Things Considered weekend anchor Michel Martin supportively interviewed a left-wing secularizer named Lisa Breslin, and didn't question her smear that the Catholic Church gave Ireland "years and generations of torture, neglect, and murder by…

MSNBC's McCaffrey Claims 'Automatic' Guns Used in Some Shootings

Appearing as a guest on Sunday's MSNBC Live with David Gura, longtime MSNBC analyst and retired General Barry McCaffrey oddly claimed that both "automatic and semi-automatic" weapons are used by mass shooters, and likened mass attacks to the time he was hit by machine gun fire in the Vietnam War, as he gave the impression that rapid fire machine guns are readily available to U.S. civilians. He…

CNN Politicizes Shooting After Fretting GOP 'Politicizing' Tibbetts

On Sunday afternoon, after word broke that a mass shooting had occurred at a Jacksonville, Florida, gaming tournament, it didn't long for CNN host Fredricka Whitfield to talk up the alleged need for more gun laws in Florida -- in fact, it took just a little over 50 minutes. And it feels like only yesterday that the same CNN host was fretting over Republicans "politicizing" the murder of Mollie…

CNN Commentator: Assume Trump Always Lying, 'Fact-Check Him Backwards'

In a segment titled “So many lies, So little time” on his Sunday show Reliable Sources, CNN's Brian Stelter complained about the hardship of fact-checking every one of President Trump's statements: “Should there be a bug in the corner of the screen that says, ‘Warning, the president's probably misleading you again’?” A panelist later offered another imaginative suggestion: to assume that…

Robert Reich: 'Don’t Impeach Trump, Annul His Presidency'

Former Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration, Robert Reich, has become so crazed over the notion of the Trump presidency that he wants to go beyond impeachment by imagining there is such a thing in the Constitution as annulment. Reich claims that with annulment all of Trump's legislation, executive actions, and appointments would just disappear as if they had never existed in the first…

NYT Salutes John McCain, But 2008 Campaign Coverage Was Classless

Republican Sen. John McCain, a war hero who suffered five-and-a-half years as a prisoner of war in the infamous “Hanoi Hilton” prison camp in Vietnam, and who became an independent, influential senator, has died at 81. The New York Times obituary was broadly admiring. But the Times hasn’t always treated Sen. McCain so respectfully. Look back to the 2008 campaign. Reporters suggestied McCain was…
