CNN's Christine Romans Hides Dow's 2 Years of Pre-Trump Flatness

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 26,000 for the first time on Wednesday. When it first jumped the 26,000 hurdle during Tuesday's trading, only to fall back at the close, CNN's Christine Romans somewhat surprisingly noted it. But as she did, she positively and erroneously spun the market's awful pre-presidential election history in a way that even some conservatives have ignorantly…

Good news for all those anti-Trumpers out there who couldn't get enough of Michael Wolff's work of fiction, Fire and Fury. The book (novel) will be produced as a TV series according to an exclusive report in the January 17 Hollywood Reporter.  Of course, it is pretty much a given that the portrayal of President Donald Trump will end up being so over the top divorced from reality that it will…

Survey: Americans Very Concerned About Liberal Media Bias, ‘Fake News’

While acknowledging that technological advances “have made it easier for Americans to connect with each other and to find information, including details about the major issues facing the country,” a poll conducted in late 2017 by four liberal foundations indicates that media bias and “fake news” are still serious problems.
