Burial of Maryland Rape Story Avoids Admitting Costs of Illegals

March 30th, 2017 9:01 PM
National establishment media coverage of the alleged Montgomery County, Maryland rape of a 14 year-old freshman at Rockville High School at the hands of two late-teen classmates in the U.S. illegally — a story which first drew national attention only because it became a White House press briefing topic — has been grudging from the start. Now it has virtually ceased, even though the incident is at…

Judges Who Overturned Trump Travel Ban Used Document Leaked to AP

March 30th, 2017 2:01 PM
Two Associated Press reporters appear to have officially joined the "resistance." In late February, the wire service released an "exclusive" covering a "draft" document leaked by someone in the Department of Homeland Security not reflecting the agency's official position. In mid-March, two judges used that AP dispatch — while ignoring readily available contradictory and genuinely authoritative…

Fox's Pirro Exposes Results of 1982 Court's Immigrant Education Ruling

March 29th, 2017 4:43 PM
CNN's Brian Stelter angrily contends that the rape of a 14 year-old girl at Rockville High School in Montgomery County, Maryland on March 16 at the hands of two late-teen illegal immigrant freshman classmates should never have been a national story — and the fact that it is to an extent, despite obvious attempts to blackball it by the Big Three broadcast networks, is all Fox News's fault. The…

AP Pair Betray Ignorance As They Crow Over GOP's 'Humiliating Failure'

March 28th, 2017 12:28 PM
This past weekend, Erica Werner and Alan Fram at the Associated Press had a good old time beating up on President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled House over their "humiliating failure" to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. In the process, though, the reporters, who have been covering Washington politics since the ACA's inception, betrayed breathtaking ignorance…

AP Goes PC: 'Avoid References to Both, Either, or Opposite Sexes'

March 24th, 2017 6:39 PM
Ken Shepherd at The Washington Times reports the Associated Press sent a politically correct update to subscribers on Friday. In its style manual, it’s now urging journalists to avoid using the cursed “gender binary.” Science identifies two genders, but the liberal media exquisitely feels a rainbow of “gender fluidity.” The AP Stylebook now matches the LGBT manual precisely. "Not all people fall…

WashPost's Poster Child For Criticizing Trump White House: Susan Rice

March 22nd, 2017 6:25 PM
One would hope that the Washington Post, where the news masthead is "Democracy Dies in Darkness," and whose emails soliciting subscriptions tell recipients that "Democracy needs great journalism," searched far and wide for the most credible person they could possibly find to criticize the foreign-policy impact of how the Trump administration "twists the truth." Apparently, the best person they…

The Washington Post's first story on the rape Friday illustrates Houck's observation that the crime is "an…

AP's Steve Peoples Promotes Meetup.com's Move Into Trump 'Resistance'

March 20th, 2017 11:33 AM
In early February, Meetup.com, a site which until late January was all about "bring(ing) people together in thousands of cities to do more of what they want to do in life" by helping people subscribe to common interest groups and organize meetings, joined "the resistance." On Sunday, Steve Peoples at the Associated Press spent 14 paragraphs treating the moves as a brand-new effort, leaving only…

Barely News: Suit Can Proceed On Far-Left Violence After Trump Rally

March 19th, 2017 1:31 PM
If a federal judge allowed a lawsuit to proceed alleging that police led participants in a far-left protest rally into a gauntlet of violence-prone right-wing counter-demonstrators, and that several protesters were pummeled and hurt as a result, it would be nationally prominent news. But the national establishment press, and the California press outside of the San Francisco Bay area, have just…

Snoop Dogg's Trump-Shooting Video Gets Soft Press Treatment

March 15th, 2017 8:53 AM
Donald Trump-directed assassination chic has hit a critical, and apparently critically accepted, mass. Middle-aged, extremely wealthy misogynist rap "artist" Snoop Dogg, a pioneer in the genre who has millions of followers, has produced a video which portrays President Trump as a pot smoking clown whom Snoop Dogg "shoots" while saying, "One shot, one kill."

Writer Slams New Ferguson Video: 'Very Definition of Fake News'

March 14th, 2017 4:17 PM
The outcome of the Michael Brown saga in Ferguson, Missouri, which began in August 2014, reached a climax in November 2014 when a grand jury did not indict police officer Darren Wilson, and ended with a whimper in March 2015 when the Justice Department saw no basis for bringing civil rights charges, infuriated the left. So it seemed inevitable that a conspiracy theory would emerge attempting to…

AP Trio Seems to Believe That Millions of Kids Are Heads of Households

March 11th, 2017 8:35 PM
In a dispatch accusing the Trump administration of hypocrisy in expressing pleasure over Friday's jobs report from the government's Bureau of Labor Statistics, Associated Press reporters Jill Colvin and Christopher Rugaber, with additional assistance from Jonathan Lemire, either betrayed an amazing collective level of ignorance about what a households is, or were so blinded by the need to…

CNN's Reza Aslan Participates in Cannibalism in Covering Sect in India

March 9th, 2017 10:53 PM
On CNN's first airing of Believer, a six-part Sunday evening series described at People.com as a "spiritual adventures series" exploring "the world’s most fascinating faith-based groups," host Reza Aslan did his part to take the network's flagging reputation down even further as he (yes, really) ate part of a human brain. Aslan, who was visiting a fringe, cannibalistic sect which claims to be…
