CNN: After 7 Days, Only 4 Minutes On Clinton Uranium Scandal
For the first seven days after The Hill published startling new information about the Clinton/Russia/Uranium scandal, the 24-hour cable news giant CNN had produced less than five minutes (3 minutes, 54 seconds) of actual news coverage about the case.

Activist Harry Belafonte: ‘Hitler is Not Too Far From Our Door’

Pot Meet Kettle? Dem Doormat Colbert Mocks FNC For Gushy Trump Segment
CBS Late Show host Stephen Colbert clearly needs to take a long look in the mirror, after he blasted Fox News on his Monday night show for conducting a friendly interview with President Trump. The outspoken anti-Trump host has made a career out of mocking Republicans yet fawning over his Democrat guests. That didn’t stop him from hypocritically mocking FNC’s Maria Bartiromo for “not holding Trump…

Threats Force Loesch to Move Her Family; Piers Morgan Is OK With That
When they're not ignoring these matters completely, the press only usually only reluctantly notices when conservative business owners and public figures are harassed, threatened, have their property destroyed, and are sometimes even physically harmed. Beyond that, some press members seem to and sometimes actually act as if the victims should know, understand and accept that this kind of treatment…
Monday was supposed to be the sentencing hearing for Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, but his lawyer motioned to dismiss the case and asserted that President Trump’s critical comments during the 2016 election swayed the military court. Both CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News seemed to buy into the claims as they lamented how the admitted deserter would have to wait until Wednesday to learn his…
