RNN) - An executive for the Today Show apologized for the program mistakenly using a Baltimore protest image from April on a segment discussing the mistrial of a former North Charleston, SC, police officer who killed a black man.

He was at the center of a fake news story, but Denzel Washington says it's the mainstream media that's selling "BS." "If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do read it, you're misinformed," Washington, the star and director behind the new film "Fences," told ITK at the Wednesday premiere inside the National Museum of African American History and Culture. "Fences," based on an award-winning play of the same name, also features Viola Davis and centers on the life of a black family in 1950s Pittsburgh. It is set to be released on Christmas.

Advertising sells; supply and demand still rules supreme in the world of business. Meanwhile, the mainstream media’s ‘Fake News Frankenstein’ is already starting to falter Like a drowning man fights to take down his rescuer with him, the mainstream media’s hooked up with the European Union in attempts to take down Breitbart, Alex Jones and Drudge. A real life Mission Impossible unfolding before our very eyes. Truth seekers starved from the truth by elected governments of the day recognize the good guys: Breitbart, Jones, Drudge, just as they do the bad guys holed up in the mainstream media.

During a shouting matching Thursday night between top aides of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, the President-elect’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway summed up a key reason for why my Democratic Party lost – and will likely continue to lose. “There’s a difference for voters between what offends you and what affects you.” To understand what she meant, look to the recent developments in Indiana. Millions of voters in the Rust Belt are in awe as 1,100 of their fellow blue-collar workers at Carrier narrowly missed being laid off. Instead of training Mexican replacements, these Hoosiers are celebrating an American paycheck....

President-elect Donald Trump is intent on repealing Obamacare, but nearly half of Americans say they aren’t so keen on dismantling the health care reform law. Some 49% of Americans want Trump and Congress to either expand Obamacare or continue implementing the law as it is, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll released Thursday. Another 26% want the entire law repealed, while 17% would like the law scaled back. Trump and GOP Congressional leaders have said they plan to take up Obamacare’s repeal as soon the incoming president takes office on January 20. They are looking at repealing the law...

Look at the media (in this case the leftist Washington Post) crying like little babies over supposed conspiracy theories: '@FiIibuster -- that's lowercase i-capital i-lowercase i -- is the luckiest 16-year-old in California. On Monday night, he took a break from tweeting about professional sports to piggyback on the president-elect's critiques of CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny. "CNN is terrible folks," he wrote. "Jeff has no evidence that Donald Trump didn't suffer from voter fraud!" Lo and behold, Trump retweeted him, adding at the end, "Bad reporter." To which @FiIibuster could only reply, "OMG." I tell this story not to walk...

Fidel Castro jailed and tortured political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin during the Great Terror. He murdered more Cubans in his first three years in power than Hitler murdered Germans during his first six. Fidel Castro shattered — through mass-executions, mass-jailings, mass larceny and exile — virtually every family on the island of Cuba. Many opponents of the Castro regime qualify as the longest-suffering political prisoners in modern history, having suffered prison camps, forced labor and torture chambers for a period three times as long in Fidel Castro’s Gulag as Alexander Solzhenitsyn suffered in Stalin’s Gulag.Fidel Castro...

Sure, Megyn: "I am not an ideologue. I always laugh because when I was coming up the ranks at Fox News, the left thought I was always in the tank for the Republicans because they always see you through a certain prism. And then during this year of Donald Trump, now the right thinks I’m in the tank for the Never Trumpers or the liberals. But the truth is, I’m not in the tank, I’m not swimming in the tank at all. I’m off to the side of the tank. I don’t even have my bathing suit on. I’m just...

The mainstream media has become just what they used to call deplorables and sites like this: FRINGE WARNING to allI Internet conservative bug life out there; the hoity-toity mainstream media has morphed into a can of RAID Kills Bugs Dead and are now screeching in the cartoon language of ZAP! According to their arrogant way of thinking, one press of the spray button and ZAP, pesky conservative bugs are no more. They fail to notice that rather than scattering off into a zillion corners, conservatives are standing strong; that that they’re there still there on their way back to crawl...

The U.S. Secret Service has been notified of an incident at Ordean-East Middle School in Duluth, Minnesota, in which a photo of President-elect Donald Trump was placed in a trophy case with the caption “You’re a dead man.” Duluth was one of only two areas in Minnesota that voted heavily for Hillary Clinton, the other being Minneapolis-St. Paul. The rest of the state was solid red in voting for Trump, with the overall popular vote going to Clinton by a much more narrow margin than predicted by pollsters. The principal of the school was notified of the threatening image only...

Anyone know how to best handle the barrage of stories that the Hate Media spews? And why do you call them the MSM?

Republican President-elect Donald Trump said he’s “fine” with same-sex marriage as the law of the land, calling the issue "settled" by the Supreme Court. The comments – in his first television interview since winning the presidency – sharply contrast with his party’s orthodoxy, his running mate’s longtime position and comments the New York Republican made during the primary. “It’s law,” he said in an interview with CBS’ ‘60 Minutes’ that aired Sunday. “It was settled in the Supreme Court. I mean it’s done.” “These cases have gone to the Supreme Court. They’ve been settled. And I’m – I’m fine with...

In a letter from its owner and executive editor, the New York Times, a biased media outlet which together with the rest of the liberal press misreported on the presidential race - whether due to conflicts of interest or due to sheer stupidity - from day one, leading to such idiotic forecasts as an 86% probability for Hillary to win as recently as one week ago (contrast with our own prediction): [Snip] ... Arthur Sulzberger, the owner and publisher of the NYT, promised that the paper would "reflect" on its coverage of this year's election, as it "rededicates" itself to...

Seems Google is paying homage to the "great" Walter Cronkite's birthday. Father of the mainstream liberal media. Must be pining for the days before the internet and alternate media exposed the press for what they were; completely in the tank for dems as they are right down to today.

Leave it to WaPo to throw a lifeline to Hillary, who will now refer to those who would dare to not vote for her already defined “deplorables” as “rabid deplorables”. As the unwashed masses sit back waiting for the other shoe to drop on yet another painstakingly manufactured Donald Trump scandal set to go off any time between today and next Tuesday, the Washington Post is good for a laugh. If you, like the tens of thousands showing up for Trump rallies are enthused or excited about Election 2016, your obsession about the election could mean you are “addicted” to...

Dear MSM. Great great rant. Pass along to friends and neighbors

Complete Headline: WSJ: 'Nation Now Has Proof' of Hillary Scandals, But Leftist Media 'Devote Its Front Pages to the Trump Story' The Wall Street Journal's Potomac Watch columnist Kimberley Strassel details the "devastating case against a Clinton presidency" that can be made by reviewing the WikiLeaks documents combined with what is already known in the public record. Strassel notes that although "the nation now has proof of pretty much everything [Hillary Clinton] has been accused of," the media "has almost uniformly ignored the flurry of bombshells, preferring to devote its front pages" to the story that Donald Trump "made lewd...

Media Publicly Shamed by 20,000+ People

Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump has increased to seven points, as more than half of voters say he is not qualified to be president. That’s according to a just-released national Fox News Poll of likely voters. Clinton receives 45 percent to Trump’s 38 percent. Libertarian Gary Johnson is at 7 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein gets 3 percent. Last week, Clinton was up by two points in the four-way contest (44-42 percent).

TORONTO — Since Tuesday night, Ken Pagan has been the most wanted man in T.O. Toronto Police issued a photo Wednesday afternoon of the man they identified as the alleged beer-can tosser at Tuesday’s Blue Jays playoff game. The photo is of Pagan, who was at the game in the section where the can was tossed and in videos of the incident on social media sites appears to toss something onto the field. He spoke with Toronto Police Wednesday night and made arrangements to turn himself in. Pagan has not yet been charged. He is also an employee of Postmedia...
