Media Fail: Bloomberg News Goes After Contrarian Blog, Beclowns Itself

That the establishment press despises New Media isn't exactly breaking news, but a lesser-known subset of that tension has just become more visible. As usual, an Old Media outlet is the smear merchant, and the New Media site has the upper hand on the truth. Mainstream business journalists really despise the financial and economics blogs which puncture the insufferable "the economy is just fine"…

NYT Lectures Indiana Rubes on Transgender, Buries CA Anti-Trump Riots

Uh oh. Ted Cruz is really in trouble with the New York Times now, after attacking Donald Trump for saying people should be able to use the restroom of whatever gender they now identify with. On the trail in Indiana, reporter Trip Gabriel took time out of his packed schedule to deliver a condescending lecture to the ignorant locals about transgenders in “Cruz, in Indiana, Attacks Trump for…

Red Eye Mocks John Kasich Imaginary Nomination Campaign Ad

Imagine John Kasich being nominated. Is that too tough? Okay, try this. Imagine a John Kasich campaign ad featuring his imaginary nomination. See, much easier. And also much more mockable which is exactly what Red Eye did on the Fox News Channel last night.

CNN Anchors Fret Tame Joke by Trump Was 'Stoking the Flames'

On Friday evening, during a discussion of violent protests at the Republican convention in California, CNN anchors Erin Burnett and John Berman on two different programs both seemed oddly worried that an innocent joke Donald Trump made about sneaking across the border would exacerbate tensions. On Erin Burnett Outfront, host Burnett wondered if the levity was "stoking the flames," and, an hour…

Meyers Hints Boehner's Lucifer Line Implies Cruz Is Worse Than Hastert

NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers has a clearly documented record against conservatives, but the show from late Thursday into Friday sunk to a new low as he cracked a joke about John Boehner’s Lucifer comments toward Ted Cruz as an implication that he’s worse than the now-revealed child molester Dennis Hastert.

CBS’s ‘Blue Bloods’: Cop Encounters With Black People ‘Don’t End Well'

On Friday night’s edition of Blue Bloods, titled ‘The Extra Mile,’ the vacuous rallying cry of the radical left was given air once again, as Detective Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) interrogated a black suspect who clearly has clearly spent far too much time reading DeRay McKesson’s timeline on Twitter.

Nasty Bill Maher on ‘the Bones of Prostitutes Rush Limbaugh Killed'

HBO host Bill Maher was his usual nasty self on Friday’s Real Time. Joking about Cuba and America’s relationship with the communist country, he sneered that the United States’s decades-old embargo “means endlessly patching up their old DeSotos and Edsels with whatever they can scrounge, old tractor parts, chicken wire, the bones of prostitutes Rush Limbaugh killed on vacation.”

Actual MSNBC Headline: 'The Monica Lewsinksy Jokes Are Back'

"MSNBC can't spell," joked a tipster on Saturday morning. There is was, posted since Friday afternoon at 3:42 -- a story headlined "The Monica Lewsinksy jokes are back." One could be making a pun, since President Clinton "finished in the sink." But there's no indication of a joke in the story. MSNBC reporter Jane C. Timm is deadly serious about this terrible trend of "bullying" Lewinsky with…

Bozell & Graham Column: Transgender 'Fact' and Fantasy

The liberal opinion site that calls itself “PolitiFact” insists it’s just a “fact-checking” website. When choosing to assess whether a politician’s claim is true or false, their “About Us” page says they ask “Is the statement rooted in a fact that is verifiable? We don’t check opinions, and we recognize that in the world of speechmaking and political rhetoric, there is license for hyperbole…

Priorities: ABC, CBS Hype 'Royal Mic Drop;' Ignore Russian Aggression

ABC and CBS's evening newscasts on Friday spotlighted the friendly transatlantic trash-talking between the British and American heads of state. However, the programs failed to cover the latest too-close intercept of American military assets by Russian aircraft. On World News Tonight, ABC's David Muir touted "the royal mic drop — the Queen and Prince Harry responding to the First Family's…

Imagine That: 'Anti-Corporate Rhetoric' Affects the Economy

On Thursday, shortly after the government estimated that the economy only grew at an annual rate of 0.5 percent in this year's first quarter, Jeffry Bartash at Marketwatch.com commented on the especially weak performance in nonresidential business investment. That category subtracted 0.76 points from GDP, the worst result since the second quarter of 2009, during the recession. Bartash,…

David Brooks Admits He Lives in Wealthy Bubble

WARNING! David Brooks has admitted that he lives in a wealthy bubble and to rectify that he plans to break out of his New York Times cocoon and travel down the Heart of Darkness to mix with the hoi polloi. What caused Brooks to issue his bubble admission was the rise of Donald Trump whom he had previously discounted. So before getting down from his high horse to possibly mix with the peasants at…

Rolling Stone: Cruz, Fiorina ‘Failed Approximations of Human Beings'

A few months back, some maintained that Ted Cruz was ineligible for the presidency because, in their view, he wasn’t a natural-born citizen of the United States. In a Thursday article, Jeb Lund made an even more extreme argument about Cruz, suggesting that he isn’t even a full-fledged person. Specifically, Lund opined that both Cruz and his would-be running mate, Carly Fiorina, are “spectacular…

Scalia Slam: NYT Fronts Lefty 'Fear' of Right-Wing Influence on Campus

George Mason University law school announced it would be renamed the Antonin Scalia School of Law in honor of the recently deceased justice. Yet even in death, the left and its allies at the Times won’t cease their attacks. Friday’s New York Times featured young reporter Nicholas Fandos, “University Critics Draw a Line at Naming Law School for Scalia.” The online headline was positively “fearful…
