Before and After Welfare Handouts

Before the massive growth of our welfare state, private charity was the sole option for an individual or family facing insurmountable financial difficulties or other challenges. How do we know that? There is no history of Americans dying on the streets because they could not find food or basic medical assistance.

AP Avoids Schneiderman's Party; LA Times Kept Story Out of Tues. Print

The establishment press appears determined to downplay the visibility of the bombshell news of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's resignation, and to avoid referring to him as a Democrat. The Associated Press avoided tagging him as a Dem in one story, and saved the tag for a very late paragraph in another. Meanwhile the Los Angeles Times found a unique solution to the problem in its…

'NCIS: New Orleans' Battles Bots Working 'Out of Russian Playbook'

It’s been exactly eighteen months since the election of Donald Trump, and not a day has gone by without mentioning Russian hacking or someone leaking classified information. The latest CBS’s NCIS: New Orleans perfectly captures both issues with a little bit of obnoxious journalism to boot. If that’s not the best way to capture 2018, I don’t know what is.

Bozell & Graham Column: Thou Shalt Not Question Mueller

The television networks have flooded us with hours and hours of coverage of the Robert Mueller probe, still looking under every rock for some sign of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign. But on May 5, a federal judge harshly blasted Mueller’s tactics in court, even going to far as to challenge the scope of his authority in this probe. Was this a big story for our objective press, insisting…

Matthews, Panel Go Nuts Over 'Chick Hawks,' Giving Iran 'High Ground'

Just CNN and the major broadcast networks earlier Tuesday after President Trump’s Iran Deal speech, MSNBC’s Hardball was beside itself over the President’s decision to withdrawal the U.S. from the deal, dubbing it a victory for “chick hawks” like John Bolton drawing America into war with Iran while also “surrender[ing] the moral high ground to Iran.”

Nets Freak After ‘Reneging’ Iran Deal: Obama ‘Anguished’, Allies Worry

President Trump fulfilled his campaign promise to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal Tuesday, much to the screeching of the liberal media and world leaders. All three of the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) began their evening news broadcasts in a tailspin, appalled by the President defying our allies, shattering our credibility as a country, and possibly leading us into a war. They…

NYT's Sudden Concern for Logan Act Fact-Checking With Kerry the Target

New York Times fact-checker Linda Qiu pounced: “Trump Lobs Legal Threat At Kerry. Scholars Shrug.”

Media Support for Iran Deal Predates Trump; They Just Loved That Deal

Even before President Trump’s announcement on Tuesday that the U.S. would be backing out of the Iran nuclear deal, the press had begun mounting an anxious defense of the agreeent. It’s no secret that the Obama-era treaty has been a foreign policy favorite among many in the media, and the same was true back when it was first negotiated in 2015.

Samantha Bee Hailed Disgraced Eric Schneiderman as a ‘Superhero'

Have you ever wanted to go back in time and do something differently? That’s what Samantha Bee, the liberal host of TBS's Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, apparently wants to do since last November she called now-disgraced Democratic New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman a “superhero” before he was accused on Monday of sexually abusing four women.
