Thom Hartmann: Half of Americans Live in Poverty Thanks to Reagan

Before there was Anti-Trump Psychosis, before there was Bush Derangement Syndrome, it was Ronald Wilson Reagan who could be counted on to derail liberals from the semblance of reality they occasionally cling to. The years since Reagan left the White House, and the country in far better shape than when he took office, have lessened the left's visceral loathing for a statesman who ended the Cold…

Spinning ‘That Mexican Thing’ on Univision and Telemundo

“That Mexican thing” - Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence’s phrase expressing his exasperation at Senator Tim Kaine’s repeated crassly dishonest, incomplete reference to remarks made by Donald Trump upon announcing his presidential campaign – is itself now being distorted and negatively characterized by the chief news anchors of the nation’s top two Spanish-language television…

NYT Still Slobbering Over BLM-Style Doc on 'Modern Slavery in America'

The New York Times can’t stop slobbering over 13th, a Black Lives Matter-style documentary by activist Ava DuVernay that takes a conspiratorial left-wing view equating prison labor as black slavery. Hard-left controversialist Van Jones and Castro-loving Communist Angela Davis feature in the flick, though NYT’s Cara Buckley doesn’t bring those names up in her press-release style laudatory…

Bee on VP Debate: ‘Care Bear’ Kaine vs. ‘Homophobic Race Bannon' Pence

After some time off from blogging TBS’s Full Frontal and an acknowledgement from the show that yours truly lives rent free inside their heads, I checked back in on Samantha Bee’s unfunny program as she opined that the vice presidential debate featured “Hillary Clinton’s care bear” Tim Kaine facing “homophobic Race Bannon” known as Republican Mike Pence.

Meyers Gushes to Chelsea: 'Your Family Has Been Attacked For So Long'

For the second night this week, NBC has played nice with Hillary Clinton’s daughter, while not giving the same treatment to Donald Trump’s children. It started on Saturday Night Live, when Chelsea was noticeably missing from a political skit while Trump’s children were shown as creepy “Children of the Corn.” On Thursday night’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, the former SNL comedian continued the…

CNN Presses Pence on Past Trump Remarks, Tosses Softballs to Kaine

As Democratic and Republican vice presidential nominees Tim Kaine and Mike Pence appeared in separate interviews on Thursday's New Day, there was a blatant difference in how each guest was received, as Kaine was mostly served up softballs by Alisyn Camerota, while Chris Cuomo spent nearly all his time hitting Pence over controversial statements Trump has made in the past, repeatedly pressing the…

NY Times Hides Ties to Mexican Billionaire In More Than 50% of Stories

The New York Times’ largest stakeholder is the 4th richest man in the world — Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim — but readers might not know that because it’s news the Times often considers unfit to print. Slim owns the Mexican telephone monopoly, America Movil (which reportedly cost Mexicans an extra $13 billion a year), and has donated to The Clinton Foundation. He’s been criticized as a “crony…

Spotify, Mic Push Left-Wing Agenda on Economy

Proving again that its new podcast slants left, Clarify bashed the policies of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher for current problems with the economy. Nevermind the many years since those leaders were in charge. That’s right. No discussion of the current president’s economic policies, just old liberal attacks on deregulation, globalization and less unionization. So much for providing just the…

Media Predict Do-It-Yourself Abortion Will Be ‘Next Frontier’

Now, they’re using the term for abortion. Following stronger pro-life legislation and the closing of abortion clinics, liberal journalists first panicked about the rise of dangerous DIY abortion.
