Donald Trump

In Sunday’s New York Times White House reporter turned columnist Frank Bruni bashed Ted Cruz and Donald Trump in vitriolic tones in “Obnoxiousness Is the New Charisma.” The text box said it all: “Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are smug, mean and in the lead.” Bruni also snuck in snide liberal media descriptions of Cruz and Trump and treated them as conventional wisdom, while revealing some possible…

Enjoying what he sees as Ted Cruz's just deserts for not having publicly called out Birthers who questioned President Obama's eligibility for office, Hardball host Chris Matthews on Monday night reveled in Donald Trump's hammering away at Cruz's eligiblity, given he was born to his American citizen mother while she was living in Canada: "Trump may have something." Matthews also suggested Trump…

I don't know how funny a standup comic he may be, but Dean Obeidallah is excellent at trolling. At the Daily Beast website yesterday in a piece headlined, "Hey Supreme Court, Please Settle This Ted Cruz Birther Thing," the liberal writer agreed with the Manhattan real-estate developer that "it would be 'very precarious' if Ted Cruz were the GOP nominee given that Cruz was undisputedly born in…

Appearing as a guest on Monday's CNN Newsroom with Carol Costello, New York Times columnist and CNN political commentator Ross Douthat admitted that there can be such a thing as too much immigration as he warned of a "slow-motion disaster" in Germany because of Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to allow a million immigrants into the country. But when asked by host Costello to clarify the…

Wrapping up an interview with left-wing music mogul Russell Simmons on Monday’s CBS This Morning, co-host Charlie Rose wondered: “Are you ready for President Trump?” Simmons sarcastically replied: “No. I think I'm ready for him to win the Republican primary. That’d be good.”

Is the Hillary camp sensing mortal political danger over her role as "bully" [to use Maureen Dowd's term] toward Bill's women? The question arises given the agitation, defensiveness and anger displayed by the normally mild-mannered Harold Ford, Jr., a Hillary fan, on today's Morning Joe. Ford warning Joe Scarborough not to raise his voice to him? Ford defensively rejecting comparisons between…

The liberal media has collectively taken on what could possibly be described as a thinly veiled “journalistic” hit job on Donald Trump by trying to make personal and political comparisons to segregationist symbol of the south and three time democratic presidential failure, George Wallace. Buzzfeed reporters Andrew Kaczynski and Nathan McDermott came out with a piece on Wednesday insisting “…

Appearing as a guest on Sunday's PoliticsNation, Daily Beast columnist Jonathan Alter -- a far-left MSNBC political analyst and frequent critic of conservatives -- surprisingly predicted that the Clintons could be more vulnerable on the issue of Juanita Broaddrick's rape charges against Bill Clinton than they were 15 years ago. Declaring that "reasonable people" are questioning Hillary Clinton's…

Sunday’s MediaBuzz on the Fox News Channel (FNC) had a slew of media storylines to discuss from the past week and in one segment, host Howard Kurtz teamed with GOP strategist Mercedes Schalpp and the Daily Beast’s Betsy Woodruff to lambaste MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews for his fawning interview with Hillary Clinton on Tuesday that featured droves of softballs.

CNN host Jake Tapper set himself apart from the rest of CNN and the wider liberal media by devoting two segments to Juanita Broaddrick and other accusers of Bill Clinton. In a panel segment with Weekly Standard editor William Kristol and former Clinton staffer Donna Brazile, Tapper even asked about how feminism struggles against the Broaddrick allegations of a rape in 1978. Brazile took that…

During the panel discussion on the Sunday edition ABC’s This Week, panelist and PBS host Tavis Smiley declared that he was “tickled” by the birtherism surrounding Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz being perpetuated by “an unrepentant, irascible religious and racial arsonist” in Donald Trump who also “troubles” him in that the media haven’t supposedly tried to project Trump on the entire…

As Rush Limbaugh would say, they're not refugees or illegal immigrants: they're undocumented Democrats . . . On this morning's New Day, CNN political analyst Josh Rogin [formerly of the Daily Beast], repeatedly claimed that President Obama's push to admit refugees from Syria and elsewhere is a "principled" position, not a "political" one.  Does Rogin or anyone else seriously believe that the…

On Friday's Anderson Cooper 360, CNN correspondent Drew Griffin filed a report painting conservative opponents of President Barack Obama's gun control initiatives as conspiracy theorists, following up on the previous report finding that a number of gun owners in Florida are suspicious that Obama wants to go further with gun control that he is letting on.

The Los Angeles Times hired Dexter Thomas as a “contact reporter” to cover “black Twitter,” to write about black issues as they percolate through social media. But he ended 2015 by doling out advice to white people in an analysis headlined “In 2016, white people must take responsibility for Donald Trump.” Or as Thomas put it, "White people, come get your boy."
