Bernie Sanders now has 286 delegates for next year's Democrat convention. Not 285 nor 287 but precisely 286 delegates according to CBS News elections and surveys director Anthony Salvanto.  Yes, Elizabeth Warren might have a plan for...whatever, but Anthony Salvanto has the precise delegate count despite the fact that we are months before the first Democrat primary. Here is Oracle Anthony conjuring up the delegate counts for host Margaret Brennan on Sunday's Face The Nation.

A briefing with congressional leaders at the White House on Wednesday ended with insults, a walkout — and a meme. It was the first face-to-face meeting between President Trump and top Democrats since the impeachment inquiry began, and things got heated between the president and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The House had just passed a bipartisan resolution condemning Mr. Trump's abrupt decision to pull troops from Syria, and lawmakers were supposed to be discussing the deteriorating military situation there with the president. But top Democrats left the meeting early. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the president insulted House Speaker...

In recent years, Planned Parenthood has been working with Hollywood to push a pro-abortion narrative in television and movies. As the Washington Post Magazine highlighted last month, the abortion giant’s Director of Arts and Entertainment Engagement coordinates directly with Hollywood scriptwriters to portray abortion as a positive “choice” in television and film. The goal is to remove from entertainment any moral questions or qualms associated with abortion. This Hollywood/abortion axis is part of the radical left’s new movement to “shout your abortion” and turn abortion into a “good” thing. The nineties rhetoric of “safe, legal and rare” by the Democrat...

The Only #MeToo Stories Hollywood Will Tell Are About Republicans They’re not exposés, they’re cover-ups. Mon Oct 14, 2019 Daniel Greenfield 19 Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. Over 80 women accused Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein of everything from harassment to rape. The drama of the case made the #MeToo movement go global. And you might think that there would be a movie in that. But years later, the closest we’ve come are rumors that Brad Pitt, who has his own history...

Full title: "CBS News Battleground Tracker: Warren extends lead across early states, New Hampshire and draws even with Biden in Iowa" Excerpt: Early-state Democratic voters say President Trump's allegations against Joe Biden have not affected their views of Biden and largely think they aren't true. Even so, it's Elizabeth Warren who continues to draw support from Democrats. She has extended the aggregate lead she had in this poll last month across the 18 early primary and caucus states. As for individual states, she has increased her lead over the pack in New Hampshire and pulled even with Biden in Iowa....

VIDEO CBS News proved itself again to be FAKE NEWS due to its absurd "This Morning" gushy interview with former Michelle Obama Chief of Staff, Tina Tchen, who was prominently involved in the coverup of the most prominent hate crime hoax fake victim in recent history. Jussie Smollett. Of course, the "This Morning" hosts NOT ONCE mentioned that case which is absolutely ridiculous since Tina Tchen is best known for her role in that coverup scam. She even dodged a subpoena last May to appear to testify about her role in that coverup. Yet another prominent example, along with...

NBC News chief Andrew Lack — once accused of mishandling sexual harassment complaints at the Peacock Network — preyed on female underlings and pursued sexual relationships with them, according to one of his alleged victims. Lack’s alleged behavior is detailed in Ronan Farrow’s upcoming book, “Catch and Kill” — an excerpt of which was obtained Wednesday by The Post. In it, Jane Wallace, an anchor on CBS’s “West 57th” news show when Lack was an executive producer in the late 1980s, discussed her affair with the then-married news man. Lack, 72, a close friend of ousted “Today” show anchor Matt...

As an apparent follow up to their Wednesday morning hype for the new “ginormous” “mega” Planned Parenthood clinic in Illinois, the CBS Evening News revisited hours later the Planned Parenthood clinic in Missouri and followed a woman seeking to have an abortion. The report itself vilified pro-lifers and it was obvious that reporter Meg Oliver was taking advantage of a vulnerable woman. As part of their “Eye on America” series, failing news anchor Norah O’Donnell told viewers: “We wanted to see how [Missouri’s abortion ban] is impacting women there. Meg Oliver spent weeks reporting this story, and it was difficult...

Even on its own terms, the media’s Get Trump project has proved a monumental failure. If the blob of blue-checkmark Twitterati wanted to help President Trump portray the latest impeachment push as a partisan witch hunt, they couldn’t have done a better job than they are now. Consider the latest example: On Sunday, CBS’ venerable “60 Minutes” program reported on Twitter that “the government whistleblower who set off the impeachment inquiry of President Trump is under federal protection because they fear for their safety.” The explosive news seemed to vindicate his opponents’ darkest fantasies about the president: Of course Trump...

Scott Pelley made it up.

VIDEO After Gayle King of CBS's "This Morning" read the transcript of the phone call between President Trump and the Ukraine president, she wondered aloud if this was "a big bowl of nothing" and concluded along with Paula Reid that there was NO quid pro quo. In their own grudging ways the other networks also concluded that no quid pro quo could be found.

The Three Stooges are alive and well. Today they are known as ABC News, CBS News, and NBC News. All three require an AIR HEAD Anchor and being put on a leash and dragged to where the liberals want them. A bunch of Stupid BS is what ABC News/CBS News/NBC News is all about. It is a shame that Norah O'Donnell is not a Blond(e)? Then we could have some dumb blond(e) jokes. Note that blond refers to a male and blonde refers to a female. One way for me to not get so upset about the RIDICULOUS BIAS of...

CBS Claims Radical Climate Teen ‘Stares Down’ Trump, She Was Behind Him By Nicholas Fondacaro | September 23, 2019 9:04 PM EDT Of course, the liberal media heaped praise onto the teenage prop they had driven to hysterics with their fearmongering. Radical climate activist Greta Thunberg threw a temper tantrum at the United Nations on Monday where she claimed the world ruined her childhood, and threatened her opponents, and made faces at President Trump’s back. It was that later action that the CBS Evening News falsely suggested was some sort of faceoff with Trump that had him backing down. During...

American whistle-blower Edward Snowden said Beijing’s use of technology to control its citizens and electronically track US targets prompted him to investigate and then expose Washington’s mass surveillance programme. In his book "Permanent Record," published on Wednesday, the former US spy agency contractor who now lives in exile in Russia, detailed how he fled to Hong Kong and then Moscow after creating one of the most serious security breaches in American history. Snowden, who was a technician subcontracted to the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency for seven years, said he began to have suspicions about secret post-September...

Last Updated Sep 16, 2019 9:24 AM EDT In an exclusive U.S. TV interview, Edward Snowden said he would like to return home but that the U.S. won't agree to a fair trial."I would like to return to the United States. That is the ultimate goal. But if I'm gonna spend the rest of my life in prison, the one bottom line demand that we have to agree to is that at least I get a fair trial. And that is the one thing the government has refused to guarantee because they won't provide access to what's called a public...

Ilhan Omar appeared on Face the Nation yesterday. The host asked about her “Some people did something” description of the 9/11 attacks, which was denounced by the son of one of the victims at a commemorative service in New York last week.

Yes, she said, the 9/11 attacks were terrible,...

Controversial congresswoman says "existence" of PM is "contradictory" to peace, reiterates support for BDS.Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar called Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's "existence" a problem in an interview with CBS' Face the Nation program. "I certainly hope that the people of Israel make a different decision.

The congresswoman then reiterated her support for the anti-Israel BDS movement. "Just right now if you...

"The lawsuit is filed in federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia. It says Fairfax’s character was defamed and says CBS intentionally inflicted emotional distress on him." "In addition, he believes former Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney attempted to use Tyson’s allegation against him for political purposes. All three are potential candidates for governor in 2021."
