AP Reporter Invents 'Dismay' With US-Loving Iraqi Detained at JFK

Saturday may have been the first day in Donald Trump's presidency when members of the leftist press which so despises him looked forward to going into work. You see, people from those nations affected by Trump's travel ban were in transit to the U.S., and certain conflict awaited. The media surely must have thought they had a strong candidate for designated victim in Iraqi Hameed Khalid Darweesh…

ABC’s Wright 'Sought Out' Khizr Khan to Slam Trump on Ban

The liberal media was abuzz Sunday morning after massive protests erupted at major airports across the country in opposition to President Trump’s Muslim ban. To help drive the point home on Good Morning America, ABC’s David Wright asked Khzir Khan to share his wrath regarding Trump. “We sought out Khizr Khan, the gold star father who spoke at the Democratic National Convention,” Wright said while…

Blitzer Cues Up Dem to Claim Trump 'Enhancing Voter Suppression'

As Maryland Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings appeared as a guest on CNN's The Situation Room, after the Democratic congressman claimed that some minorities are "being denied the right to vote," host Wolf Blitzer not only did not give any pushback to his assertions, but encouraged him to go even further by asking if he believes those who allege that President Trump is "looking for ways to enhance…

Ex-Newsweek Writer: MSM Must Fight ‘Conservative Moral Relativism’

Should the mainstream media lead, to borrow a term from religion, a great awakening? Yes, in a sense, suggested longtime journalist Steven Waldman in a Thursday Washington Monthly piece. “Donald Trump and his campaign have pushed the idea that each of us has our own truth, or ‘alternative facts,’” wrote Waldman. “Suddenly I feel like journalists are the most religious people in America. I don’t…

SF Paper Downplays Minimum Wage Hikes Despite Restaurants Closing

A January 24 item in the East Bay Times, which serves the San Francisco East Bay area, wondered: "What’s behind the spate of recent restaurant closures?" While it didn't ignore the problem, the article made only glancing references to current and planned increases in state and city minimum wages. Preliminary year-end statistics at the U.S. government's Bureau of Labor Statistics show that Bay…

CNN's Fake Ratings News: Tweets It Tied Fox News on Inauguration Day

Oliver Darcy at Business Insider reports that as much as the CNN Media team loves to boast about being the scolds of "fake news," CNN has been making ersatz claims about tying Fox News in inauguration ratings. It's a little odd to suggest Donald Trump is running an Alternative Reality Administration while you're citing Alternative Ratings.

NYT: ‘Eerie Parallels' in Dystopian Books and Trump Presidency

Hysterical liberals are rushing to buy dystopian novels like 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale, regarding them as playbooks for the new Trump administration, and the New York Times is eagerly validating their fears: "...in recent months, [Handmaid's Tale author Margaret] Atwood has been hearing from anxious readers who see eerie parallels between the novel’s oppressive society and the current…

Two Goombas Hilariously Mock Shia LaBeouf's Livestream Liberal Rant

"HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US! HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US! HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US! HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US!" Try to imagine Voltaire or Thomas Paine robotically chanting an inane mantra and you get an idea of how silly it is. However, that is what Shia LaBeouf's livestream camera cult is doing outside the Museum of Moving of the Image in the Astoria section of Queens, New York. When the livestream camera…

Alt-Left Insanity: Let’s Punch Nazis and, BTW, Everyone’s a Nazi

Poor Mike Godwin. Godwin is the creator of “Godwin’s Law.” It started as a guide to online discussions, making it clear that the longer a debate went on, the more likely someone was to invoke Hitler or Nazis. The rule grew to include the idea that such a statement ended the debate and the first person to Hitler lost. Fast forward to 2017 and politics looks like a Producers casting session, with…

Before March For Life, CNN's Keilar Tags Women's March as 'Liberal'

All that "non-partisan" posturing, and they couldn't even get CNN to buy it. On Friday, CNN presented a segment on the 44th annual March for Life before it began. The press usually ignores the march's existence until after it has taken place, typically barely recognizes it afterwards, and almost invariably insists on describing crowd sizes which have often been in the hundreds of thousands as…

Donald Trump and the Media's Vote Fraud Denialists

The photo is as instructive as its meaning is ignored. Taken in October, 1994, I recognized everyone. There is the late Pennsylvania Republican State Committee chairwoman, Ann Anstine. Just behind her stands a friend who in the day was a staffer for then GOP US Senator Arlen Specter. At the center of the photo is Bruce Marks - then a young Republican State Senator for whom all the others are…

New Film ‘Bushwick’ Trashes Southerners as Racist Killers

Sundance shines its spotlight on a film depicting Texas secessionists in the ugliest light possible. Talk about lousy timing. Films can take years from inspiration to the big screen. Sometimes during that process the zeitgeist catches up to a project in amazing ways.

Will Media Report? Massive Crowds Attend 2017 March for Life

In 2016, the media provided an embarrassing amount of coverage for the March for Life. So this year, as in years past, MRC Culture captured the crowds on camera for the American public to see the pro-life movement for themselves.

'Pants on Fire' Whoopi Makes Truth 'Messier' on Van Jones' CNN Show

Wednesday night on CNN, Van Jones had The View’s Whoopi Goldberg on his special townhall style series The Messy Truth as his guest. The show, which admirably attempts to get people from both sides of the political aisle talking to eachother, unfortunately only made the truth messier with Whoopi, who made a number of dubious and patently false claims.
