Media's Favorite BLM Activist Running for Mayor in Baltimore
Just before the filing deadline, BLM activist Deray Mckesson joined the mayoral race in Baltimore on Wednesday evening and the national media took note. Maybe that’s because Mckesson was already the media’s appointed spokesman for the Black Lives Matter movement, being featured everywhere from MSNBC to CNN to C-Span. What should’ve been a local news story was highlighted by all the major…
WashPost: Venezuela's Giveaways to Poor Were 'Good Idea in General'
In trying to explain the current situation in Venezuela, the Washington Post's Matt O'Brien, in a post at the paper's Wonkblog, also inadvertently identified two reasons why authoritarian socialist tyrants like Huge Chavez and Nicolas Maduro are able to achieve and retain power.
The formula is simple: When you first gain power, garner international and media goodwill by giving stuff away, like…
Press Drags Out 'Warm Weather' to Excuse Poor Fourth-Quarter Growth
Friday morning, the government reported that the economy grew at a pathetic annual rate of 0.7 percent in last year's final quarter.
As it did in covering the disappointing Christmas shopping season, the business press partially blamed yesterday's awful result on the weather, i.e., warm weather.
WashPost's Milbank: Dems 'Would Be Insane to Nominate Sanders'
If you only read establishment press reports, you might (finally) know about the "unexpectedly" competitive race for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, but you would have no sense of the deep concern within the left's ranks about their unsavory choices.
Card-carrying lefty Dana Milbank, from his perch at the Washington Post, laid that near-panic bare in his Tuesday evening column.…

Calling March for Life ‘Small’ an Epic WashPost Double Standard
Culture
Some things are unstoppable – even in the face of a blizzard. Friday’s 2016 March for Life took place in Washington, D.C. on the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. But The Washington Post described what it called “thousands” of Americans marching together for the nearly 60 million babies destroyed by abortion as “small.” That report sparked an…
Rubio Gets 'Pants on Fire' For Pegging Reagan's Iran Hostage Influence
Politifact, the leftist propaganda mill disguised as a "fact-checking" web site, always has its "Pants on Fire" matches at the ready for conservatives and Republicans. This is remarkable, given that it has never given any Hillary Clinton statement or campaign assertion a "Pants on Fire" evaluation. The one example it cites falsely claims to "involve" her, but has nothing to do with anything she…
AP Fails to Report: 93 Pct. of U.S. Counties Haven't Fully Recovered
On Wednesday, Amber Phillips at the Washington Post's The Fix blog impressively took President Obama to task for his over-the-top bragging about the nation's mediocre (and likely getting worse) economy.

WashPost Boosts Left-Wing 'White Privilege' Theory on Race
The Washington Post's Christine Emba and Karen Attiah promoted the leftist race theory of "white privilege" in a Saturday video posted on the newspaper's website. The two op-ed writers blamed "white privilege" for the hands-off approach to the occupation of the federal wildlife refuge in Oregon: "White privilege means being able to take over a federal building; to be armed to the teeth; and to…
Liberal Journo Takes On 'World's Greatest Monster' -- the Leaf Blower
Sunday’s Washington Post carried a story on the front page of Metro on one liberal journalist turning into political advocacy against that heinous menace known as.....the gas-powered leaf blower.

WashPost Editor Admits Rush Limbaugh Now Part of 'Mainstream Media'
During an interview with host Brian Lamb Saturday evening on the C-SPAN cable TV channel, Martin Baron – who has been the executive editor of the Washington Post newspaper since January of 2013 – stated what many liberals and Democrats are afraid to admit: Rush Limbaugh should now be considered part of the “mainstream media.”

Sports Agent Uses WaPo to Allege NCAA Racial Injustice, Gain Clients
Culture
In a pretty naked attempt to land thousands of additional clients and exponentially increase the size of his clientele base, sports agent Donald Yee, who is also a lawyer and represents such notables as New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady and New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees, took to the pages of The Washington Post where he completed the liberal hat-trick by using the race card,…
On CNN, WashPost's Wemple Slams 'Cowardly' NRA, Cupp Indicts Media
Appearing as a guest on Sunday's Reliable Sources on CNN to discuss CNN's town hall on guns with President Barack Obama, Washington Post media columnist Erik Wemple derided the National Rifle Association as "utterly cowardly" for refusing to take part.

Former Consumer Product Czar in WashPost: Regulate Bullets
Culture
Ann Brown thinks you’re stupid, and that’s not just because she’s a former chairman of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (motto: “Saving American from Themselves for More Than 40 Years.”) No, it’s because even though you reject liberal gun control measures, she’s sure you’d be A-okay with liberal bullet control measures.
Writing in The Washington Post January 6, Brown called for the…
Zakaria: 'Self-Destructive Whites' Explain Trump's Front-Runner Status
In his most recent Washington Post column, Fareed Zakaria, who also works at CNN, told readers that "working-class whites" can no longer handle the fact that they're not an "elite group" any more, and that this loss of status explains an alarming increase in suicide in their ranks. Supposedly, these people support Donald Trump because his "Making America Great Again" is about putting them back on…
