WashPost Writer: Trump's Rural Voters Face Virus with Few ICU Beds
March 21st, 2020 11:21 PM
Elizabeth Vaughn at RedState noticed that The Washington Post can’t help but show contempt for rural voters who pulled the lever for Donald Trump. Don't they know Democrats are the "party of health care"? Philip Bump's story was headlined “1 in 8 Trump voters lives in a county with no ICU beds.” And they're the older voters who are more vulnerable to the coronavirus.

Imagine being able to play a liberal election god in order to fantasy shift several counties from one state to another to change the Electoral College votes just enough to hand the 2016 election victory to Hillary Clinton? That is what Washington Post columnist Philip Bump did by shifting the 10 most western Florida panhandle counties to Alabama as well as giving the 10 Upper Peninsula counties…

September 11th, 2018 12:05 AM
Often inaccurate MSNBC host Katy Tur had the knives out from the get-go during Monday’s MTP Daily. From the opening intro, she was looking to get a piece of White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, even going so far as to question why the former Marine Corp general continued to be employed by the White House. Tur and her panel essentially were calling for the Gold Star father to be fired.
WashPost's Philip Bump Won't Let Go of 'Trump Smears Immigrants' Lie
May 26th, 2018 6:44 AM
Many in the press and on the left won't let go of their disgraceful smear of President Donald Trump after he called MS-13 gang members "animals" last week. They continue to falsely claim that he was referring to all immigrants, or to all illegal immigrants. He wasn't. But to politicial writers like the Washington Post's Philip Bump, the truth obviously doesn't matter.

CNN Panel Gives Opinions About Why Opinion Shows Are Bad
April 19th, 2018 12:30 AM
In a jaw-dropping display that was one part a lack of self-awareness and another part hypocrisy, Wednesday’s prime-time Anderson Cooper 360 featured a panel of CNN analysts sharing their opinions about opinion shows like Hannity on Fox News. Their opinions varied but were largely against the mixing of opinion and news. And that was their opinion on the news of the day. The hypocrisy was so thick…

May 12th, 2017 4:15 PM
The Washington Post just couldn't let it go.

This time it was their national correspondent Philip Bump who volunteered to make a laughingstock of himself.…

WashPost 'Fact-Checks' Trump's Obama Economy Charts: Facts Win, 9-0
June 4th, 2016 9:03 PM
Philip Bump and the Washington Post have apparently had a couple of pretty bad days. The Post had to endure having to cover, and cover for, an absolutely awful jobs report released Friday morning. That news made their beloved Dear Leader, who had just celebrated the allegedly wonderful economic accomplishments seen during his presidency on Wednesday, look quite foolish. Never fear: By Paragraph 4…
WashPost to Pastor: How Would You Treat A Demonically-Possessed Cruz?
April 28th, 2016 8:30 PM
The Washington Post's Philip Bump followed the Huffington Post's example on Thursday in semi-seriously pursuing whether Ted Cruz is, in fact, "Lucifer in the flesh," as former House Speaker John Boehner recently put it. But instead of turning to a Satanist, the journalist consulted with a pastor/exorcist, even though he admitted that "of course there was no truth" to the Republican's jab at the…

December 28th, 2015 8:08 PM
According to NewsBusters' own Blonde Gator, Hillary Clinton has, in the 8-1/2 months since she declared her candidacy, committed 51 gaffes and goofs. That's an average rate of six per month. Imagine how many there would be if Mrs. Clinton genuinely campaigned among the people instead of among preselected groupies.
