On Monday’s Morning Edition, NPR media reporter David Folkenflik traveled to an old and faithful geyser of Donald Trump mockery: the late Spy magazine, the lefty satire rag run by Graydon Carter (now running Vanity Fair magazine) and Kurt Andersen (now hosting the pretentious arts program Studio 60 on NPR stations on the weekends). The magazine debuted in 1986 and died in 1998. It is true that …

Actual sales at the wholesale level in January, as reported today by the Census Bureau, fell sharply from December. That's to be expected. But this time was different — really different, because the drop was to a level lower than January 2012, i.e., four years ago. Four press outlets which covered today's release either missed (or ignored) this shocking news. They only told readers about what…

While reporting on advances in cancer research on Wednesday, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell inadvertently promoted the philanthropic work of billionaire David Koch, who along with his brother Charles, has routinely been vilified by the left-wing network for funding conservative political causes.  

Ratings for ABC’s The Real O’Neals dropped sharply by a third Tuesday after the show’s decent start on Wednesday, March 2. The show’s first week struck between 1.8 and 1.9 ratings for adults ages 18-49 for the first two episodes. By the third week ratings had sunk to 1.1 for the same age group.

The death of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is being cheered by Univision’s sputtering millennial-focused English-language spinoff, Fusion. “How Antonin Scalia’s death could save the planet” is the title of a segment on the network’s website that exemplifies just how low Fusion is willing to go when it comes to trafficking in denigrating, over-the-top propaganda.

Univision and The Washington Post join forces to moderate the Democrat debate. Here's what to expect: an "Agenda Latina" that leans left, starting with immigration. 

Call it Harry Potter & the Goblet of Grievance.  J.K. Rowling has run afoul of the Indian indignation industry. According to Huffington Post, the author is in heap-big trouble for not being sufficiently sensitive to the diversity within the “Native American wizarding community.” 

In his continuing effort to pit races and classes against each other, Democratic presidential candidate and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) has said that if you are white, "you don't know what it's like to be poor." He should drive some of the roads I've driven in West Virginia, among other places. Some of the homes of the white poor look like throwbacks from an earlier time.

MSNBC’s Tamron Hall on Wednesday fumed over Carly Fiorina endorsing Ted Cruz, deriding the businesswoman as a “failure” and “infamous.” Hall talked to Cruz spokesman Ron Nehring and spewed liberal talking points: “When she was a candidate, Carly Fiorina's jobs record was questioned, laying off American workers, outsourcing, being a failed businesswoman and a failed candidate.” 

People of all political stripes are from time to time guilty of playing the Hitler card in their criticism of those across the aisle. But liberals get far more of a pass when comparing their opponents to one of probably the three most evil men of the 20th century (Stalin and Mao being the other two).   A popular target for Hitler comparisons lately is Republican presidential frontrunner Donald…

There’s a new push by abortion supporters (very much including the liberal media) to tell stories in order to convert Americans to the religion of “choice.” But they forget that the pro-life movement also has stories – of women conceived in rape, of women who regret abortion, of abortion survivors. And those stories are all the more powerful because they show one thing: abortion involves two…

In a heated exchange during special Fox News election coverage Tuesday night, co-anchor Megyn Kelly pressed Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Hillary Clinton possibly being indicted over the ongoing e-mail scandal: “...yes, it’s gotten a little vulgar on the GOP side, but no one's facing the threat of indictment.”

Appearing as a guest on Wednesday's CNN Newsroom with Carol Costello, race-obsessed CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill painted "white male" Donald Trump supporters as being bothered at "a rise in expanded opportunity for black people and for brown people," suggesting that Trump's slogan is really "We're going to make America white again." Host Costello set him up: "Let me ask you this, Marc,…

When Dr. Rajendra K. Pachauri was chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the networks relied on him to warn about the threat of climate change to planet earth. Now that he is under fire for allegedly sexually assaulting a female colleague, the networks want nothing to do with the scandal. The Telegraph reported on March 1, that the 75-year-old Pachauri was formally…
