NBC's Year-End Fake News Targets Former Milwaukee Co. Sheriff Clarke
NBC News has given us yet another fake establishment press story to cap off a year of media sloppiness unlike any other.

Surprise: NY Times Reports 'SNL' Anti-Trump Bits Are Forgettable
In Wednesday's New York Times, three reporters reflected on "how Washington insiders are viewing pop culture" in 2017.
