The year 2017 unfolded into a massive surprise to liberals, who fully expected that before Christmas we would (a) all die in a nuclear war over Donald Trump’s tweets, or (b) be swearing in President Pence after Trump was impeached or petulantly quit because the news media were full of meanies. More than ever, the media see themselves as valiant tellers of truth.

Remember when the left proudly hailed former President Barack Obama as a "Lightworker?" Time magazine was so in awe of Obama that they even compared him to Jesus, complete with halo pictures. Children of liberals were inducted into performing songs of praise for Obama that sounded as if they were singing about a Great Leader in Pyongyang.

Some of CNN host Reza Aslan’s other disgusting and hateful tweets are mysteriously disappearing. The cable network star drew controversy when he called Donald Trump a “piece of shit” last weekend. He lamely “apologized” and declared, “That’s not like me.” Except, of course, it is.

CNN wants to brand itself as the "one nonpartisan cable news network." But that would be false. It's refuted by partisans like CNN host Reza Aslan who tweeted Donald Trump was "this piece of s--t." CNN lamely sent out a flack to say Aslan was not a “CNN employee” – as if this meant anything. Aslan “apologized” by insisting “that’s not like me” to respond in such a “derogatory fashion.” That is…
