Geraldo: Castro Not 'All Awful,' 'Will Be Remembered Fondly'
In a Saturday morning appearance on Fox & Friends, Geraldo Rivera, who interviewed Fidel Castro in 1977 when he worked at ABC News, mostly defended the Cuban dictator whose death was announced Friday night.
Rivera, while admitting earlier in the five-minute segment that "Communism stinks, we all know that," and that "Communism cannot compete with capitalism," nevertheless insisted in the…

Flashback: The Media’s Decades of Cheering Castro’s Communism
Fidel Castro’s communist regime executed hundreds of political opponents and drove tens of thousands more into exile; hundreds of dissidents today languish in Cuban prisons. Yet liberals in the U.S. media — who rightly condemned such abuses when perpetrated by dictators such as Chile’s Augusto Pinochet — inexplicably remain enchanted with Castro and his socialist revolution. For almost 30 years,…
WashPost: Michelle Obama’s Departure Ends ‘Singular Era for Fashion'
What would Thanksgiving Day be without more gushing over the Obamas? The Washington Post on Thursday declared That Michelle Obama’s “departure from the East Wing signaled the end of a singular era for American fashion.” The piece by Robin Givhan contrasts with the writer’s bashing of the looks of conservative women such as Carly Fiorina, who she mocked as a “style bully.”
Press Is Largely Ignoring Recent Awesome Fossil Fuel-Related News
Since Donald Trump's election, environmental zealots have mostly had a very rough two weeks — and Donald Trump has had nothing to do with any of it. Two developments they consider really bad (meaning good for the rest of us) far outweigh the single item they're celebrating. First, in Wyoming, just two days after the election, their "fracking is bad" Exhibit A in Pavillion, Wyoming was completely…
WashPost Touts Lefty Tears, Free Acupuncture to Cope with Trump Win
The liberal meltdown over the 2016 presidential election resurfaced on the front page of the local news section from Sunday’s Washington Post as journalists Michael Alison Chandler and Tara Bahrampour profiled snowflakes upset at Hillary Clinton’s loss who called in sick from work, wore black the day after the election, and even offered free acupuncture and tea for teary-eyed spa patrons.

Press Yawns as Howard Dean Calls Bannon a 'Nazi'
Though there are other candidates for the post, it appears that the two leading contenders to take the disgraced Donna Brazile's place as the head of the Democratic National Committee are Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison and former 2004 presidential candidate Howard Dean.
It appears that one of the requirements to be DNC head is being on the record as equating Republican and conservative…
The Times, The Post, and the Fake News of Internment Camps
So the latest round of sheer nuttiness from the mainstream media? The idea that President-elect Trump intends to resurrect the infamous and quite decidedly racist “internment camps” established for Japanese-American citizens in 1942. How did this start? It started last week on FNC’s The Kelly File during a segment with Trump surrogate and former Navy Seal Carl Higbie (whom I know).

WashPost's Rubin: 'Nothing but Extreme Racism' in Trump on Immigration
Appearing as a panel member on Sunday's AM Joy on MSNBC, allegedly right-leaning Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin declared that the incoming Donald Trump administration's talk of dealing with the illegal immigration problem is "nothing but extreme racism" and an "outrage," as she complained that too much of the focus has been on Hispanics crossing the border from Mexico, rather than visa…
WashPost Skips College Exec's 'Piece of Trash' Attack on Trump Voters
A week ago, our MRCTV colleague Ashley Goldenberg reported that an admission official at publicly funded George Mason University in Virginia wrote on his personal Facebook page that anyone who opposed gay marriage and voted for Donald Trump is a “worthless piece of trash.” That news of liberal “inclusion” has yet to be noticed by the dominant local newspaper, The Washington Post. That…
Oops: WashPost Humorist Guessed Trump 'Withered Away' on Election Day
Washington Post Magazine humorist Gene Weingarten hasn’t been heavy on the Trump mockery this fall, but he picked the wrong theme on Sunday. Since the column deadline is three weeks in advance, Weingarten dared to write a “Trump gasped and withered away” column. Whoops.
WashPost TV Critic on 2016 Race: Hollywood Breathed 'Fumes of Hubris'
Washington Post TV critic Hank Stuever wrote an interesting post-election piece on how the dramatic tilt among celebrities did not drag Hillary over the finish line first. “After the election, of course, it’s easy to see that Hollywood was breathing in its own fumes of hubris.”
Stuever wrote: "What this election suggests is that celebrities — those with the most cachet, from Queen Bey all the…
WashPost Features Kids’ Letters Imploring Trump to ‘Be Kind’
Culture
Oh, Washington Post, you’ve gotta stop moving the goal posts of parody. On Thursday, the Post ran something titled “'Do not say mean things’: Kids are writing to Donald Trump, asking him to be a kind president.” Writer Amy Wang spent nearly 1,100 words accompanied by many, many pictures of colorful handwritten letters from kids imploring President-elect Trump to “be kind to all people.”
WaPo Election Party Features Sexist Grab Her by the Napkin Stunt
Culture
Grab her by the napkin. That’s what The Washington Post encouraged at its election party where a female server’s body was used as a napkin dispenser. To celebrate the potential election of the first woman president, guests were encouraged to pull napkins off of a napkin-clad woman at the daily newspaper’s casino-themed election party. According to The Huffington Post, the woman wore a dress of…
WashPost's Eugene Robinson Echoes Rush: I Hope Trump Fails
Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson wrote a piece for Tuesday's paper headlined "I wish the president-elect failure on his cruel initiatives." It seemed like an eerie echo of Rush Limbaugh in 2009 saying he wanted Obama to fail (in passing his agenda), which sent liberals into a fury. Naturally, Limbaugh addressed the contrasting opinions on his show on Tuesday.
