New York Times political reporter Jennifer Steinhauer filed "Influence of Freedom Caucus Ripples Through Washington" for Tuesday's front page, a long hostile introduction to a page of label-heavy profiles of five congressmen from the Freedom Caucus. Steinhauer's tone was resentful of the success of the new wave of conservative congressmen, alleging they had achieved their goals through "highly…

On Wednesday’s View, liberal co-host Joy Behar admitted that she was “starting to warm up to Trump a little bit now” given the numerous liberal positions the Republican frontrunner has taken over the years. After Behar admitted Trump will “never replace my arousal feelings for Bernie” she touted how Trump “is not as bad as the rest” of the GOP field.

All three networks on Wednesday spun Paul Ryan as dealing with the “far-right” “hardliners" in Congress. ​Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos lectured, “Paul Ryan steps forward toward the top job in Congress with a challenge to fellow Republicans.” In a news brief, Tom Llamas derided conservatives: “Ryan wants Republicans to unite behind him by Friday, including the far-right members of…

Members of Congress are speaking out against the “defense of the indefensible” – and calling out those in the media who refuse to do the same. On Tuesday, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and other members of Congress wrote to the presidents of ABC, NBC and CBS News regarding their “glaring lack of coverage” on the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s harvesting of…

The Democrats are determined to make the issue of gun control a presidential campaign issue, according to The Washington Post. And they already have the help of the news media. Although the broadcast network evening shows said nothing about gun control immediately following the first Republican presidential debate, the Oregon community college shooting on Oct. 1, changed the media’s agenda. It…

Soopermexican at The Right Scoop found another definitive Melissa Harris-Perry moment on Saturday morning. In rejoicing over how Bernie Sanders is making America safe for socialism (and socialist critiques of capitalism), she asked her panel why America has always been so persistently opposed to socialism. She had a pet theory. Why could that be? Racism, of course:

During an interview with Secretary of State John Kerry at a State Department climate forum on Tuesday, NBC chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell urged the Secretary to slam the GOP: “Republican candidates are not only silent on the subject, they are climate deniers. And even candidates who led the way in 2008, the nominee [John McCain], is now silent on the subject because of Tea…

On Wednesday’s CBS This Morning, reporter Nancy Cordes previewed Congressman Paul Ryan’s expected bid to be the next Speaker of the House by repeatedly playing up the potential conflict he will have with the supposed “hardliners” within his own party. The CBS reporter introduced the segment by stressing how Ryan will only run for speaker if he receives support from the entire House Republican…

It might be apocryphal, but the famous quote attributed to Pauline Kael, the late film critic of the New York Times, is along the lines of "how could Nixon have won? Nobody I know voted for him." Mika Brzezinski had her Pauline Kael moment on today's Morning Joe.  Mika declared herself "really surprised" by poll numbers showing there are more Americans dissatisfied with Hillary Clinton's…

AWR Hawkins at Breitbart noted The New Yorker’s Malcolm Gladwell – a massively best-selling author on  nonfiction books, starting with The Tipping Point – recently claimed that school shootings around the world were America’s fault. At The New Yorker Festival, Gladwell called these school shootings “an overwhelmingly American phenomenon” and that school shootings around the world “appear to…

A 2012 sting nabbed 5 Occupy Wall Street protesters, foiling their plot to blow up an Ohio Bridge. Two separate ISIS-inspired bomb plots have been disrupted in Queens, New York this year alone. So naturally, when CBS’ Limitless needed a terrorist organization to build and detonate a dirty bomb, they chose one of the left’s favorites: an anti-government “militia.”

The “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC punted Tuesday night on news that Senate Democrats successfully blocked legislation aimed at cracking down on sanctuary cities. Doing the job the networks could have been doing, Fox Business Network (FBN) host Lou Dobbs alerted his views on Tuesday to the story that he described as “business as usual” with “Senate Republican leadership permitting…

#LoveWins on Scream Queens. Well, actually, love gets suffocated in a bathtub by a ghoul dressed up as a Red Devil. But, still, it makes a sexually confused sorority girl feel better about herself. So, it’s all good.  

Kevin McCarthy was factually right – if grammatically and politically wrong – when he told Sean Hannity that the House’s Benghazi committee demonstrated Hillary Clinton was “untrustable.” The Hillary-pleasers in the media like NBC’s Andrea Mitchell almost glowed as they proclaimed McCarthy had offered a “political lifeline” to Mrs. Clinton. The Democrats have pushed heavily on the narrative that…
