On the July 9 edition of The Kelly File on Fox News, Megyn Kelly slammed pro-amnesty radio host Richard Fowler for refusing to answer her questions about the death of Kate Steinle in San Francisco.

WashPost Hypes Tiny Anti-Trump Protest of 'Dozens' in D.C.

The Washington Post has no problem making a mountain out of a molehill of protesters – when it’s a pet liberal cause like race. (Take the tiny protests at a Redskins home game last December.) It happened again on Thursday when “dozens” of leftists assembled to protest Donald Trump at a hotel he’s building in downtown DC.  The local TV stations also promoted the protest as critics turning out “in…

NYT Pits 'Jovial' Sen. Graham vs. Possibly 'Unprincipled' Scott Walker

Moderate Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, constant critic of conservativces. Conservative activist Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, who has survived brutal battles with public unions.

Barnicle Bemoaned Police Militarization, Now Calls for National Guard?

What does it say about Mike Barnicle that, in a discussion of the surge in inner-city homicide, Al Sharpton sounded a lot more reasonable than the former Boston Globe columnist? On today's Morning Joe, Sharpton almost echoed the NRA's famous "guns don't kill people, people kill people."  Said Sharpton: "people, because guns are there don't make you get up and shoot."  But there was the…

NBC's 'Aquarius' Runs with Republicans are Evil Theme

Good news for Ken Karn (Brían F. O'Byrne)! On last night's episode of the 60's crime drama Aquarius, "Sick City," his character becomes the California Campaign Finance Chair for Richard Nixon. The bad news is, this means that Nixon's people are going to look into him. If they do their job, they will find out what the rest of us know from watching the show: that his 16 year-old daughter ran away…

CNN, Others Go Light on Hillary's 'Not Subpoenaed' Lie

One would think that a presidential candidate falsely claiming that she never was subpoenaed would be bigger news story than people in the opposing party criticizing that candidate after the fact for her obviously false statement. As Tim Graham at NewsBusters noted late this afternoon, that's not the case. This post contains several more examples. At CNN, the network's own Brianna Keilar, who…
