Washington Post Sports Writer Champions Liberal Causes

What does it mean to be an NFL player in 2017? To Washington Post sports writer Adam Kilgore this season has been like no other year, as politics ensnared pro football players and philanthropy motivated them.

Bozell & Graham Column: The Grinchy Washington Post

Liberals at The Washington Post didn’t seem to have a Merry Christmas this year. They were seriously unhappy that anyone would utter the “lie” that President Trump made it safe to say “Merry Christmas” after eight years of the Obamas sending out White House “Happy Holidays” cards. But the Post also promoted an author saying "there is no Jesus, there is no God"...unlike promoting the idea Muhammad…

CNN's Lemon Shouts 'No!' 9 Times to Stop Conservative's HRC-Email Talk

At CNN, it's not unusual to see one conservative or center-right guest in a panel discussion stacked with leftists, including the host. That's bad enough, but there has clearly been an increase in the number of times the lone conservative or center-right guest also ends up on the receiving end of rude, abusive treatment one would never see directed at other panelists.

Newsweek’s Ivanka Story Suggests Confederate Flag in Photo Background

Newsweek, circling the drain of journalistic credibility, has resorted to immature rehashes of liberal social media clickbait, to bizarrely accuse President Trump daughter Ivanka of sending a “dogwhistle” signal to racist movements.

Hollywood Films Warning of Climate Change Lost Audiences During 2017

How many people went to the movie theaters in the past 12 months to watch such films as Blade Runner 2049, Geostorm, Downsizing or An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power?
