In response to candidate Donald Trump’s policy remarks surrounding Islamic extremism, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Sarah Murray transmit the following via twitter.

Donald Trump complains relentlessly that the media doesn't treat him fairly. Reporters, he says, are "the most dishonest people." That's a compelling argument, especially for his supporters. Fox News media critic Howard Kurtz, in a column last week about news coverage of Trump, insisted that for the mainstream press to line up "against one candidate in a presidential election can't be justified." Ordinarily, that's a no-brainer statement for any self-respecting journalist. These are not ordinary times. Kurtz, who plied his trade for the Washington Post and CNN before moving over to Rupert Murdoch's conservative news channel, pointed out that journalists'...

How the media decides an election My issue here is with Reuters, not with De Niro. I don’t agree with De Niro, but if he wants to say what he thinks, hey. Knock yourself out, Bobby. You have as much right as me or anyone else. Nor do I care that he did it at an event that was supposed to be all about film awards and not politics. Whatever. It’s on your mind, say it. Be who you are. The news judgment of Reuters is another matter entirely. I don’t care how much of a A-list star De Niro...

Take this with a good grain of salt, since Donny Deutsch is a Hillary-supporting Dem, but Donny does run in the same New York circles as Donald Trump, and has called him a friend. Guest co-hosting on With All Due Respect today, Deutsch said “I can actually see Trump bailing. I can’t see us ever getting to the point where election night, Trump becomes George McGovern. He is not going to allow—it’s just not in his system . . . I cannot see him the rest of his life with a big ‘L’ on his face.” Mark Halperin called the...

They’re trying to brainwash you, just like they’ve brainwashed the Hillary voters. They’re trying to discourage you, make you feel disappointed. DO not let them! Look at the Trump rallies with thousands, then look at the Hillary rallies with dozens. The media is lying to you and trying to destroy a good man and the MILLIONS of US Citizens who support him! Disappointment brings discouragement. Constant failure to realize our plans or expectations will cause us to lose confidence and hope, and inability to handle disappointment becomes a great tool. The following story, given to me by a friend and...

Following a fatal police shooting of an armed black suspect Saturday afternoon, Milwaukee erupted into the requisite rioting and looting that has become the hallmark of lawlessness so common in the inner cities of America. As of this writing, at least six businesses including banks and gas stations have been burned, at least four police officers have been injured, and an unknown number of civilians — mostly white — have been attacked by mobs. The violence and destruction only came under control when Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke called in the national guard. After speaking with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker...

Ultimately, how many extra cavities, various other illnesses, and premature deaths will come from this hysteria is definitely something no study will ever be able to show Toss the floss! Turns out dental flossing is barely useful, even worthless perhaps. So reported the Associated Press (AP) and subsequently more than 150 news outlets, including such as the Washington Post (”The Shaky Evidence for Flossing”) and New York Times‘s more powerful “Feeling Guilty about Not Flossing? Maybe there’s No Need.” One Web site proclaimed “dentistry is a scam.” Well, okay actually that was just Kanye West. Only problem is they’re wrong....

CNN MSNBC ABC FOX CBS --- In 2013 Obama repealed the "Propaganda Law" (Smith–Mundt Act)'Anti-Propaganda' Ban Repealed, Freeing State Dept.

This is what Obama is doing to American towns and communities with his Muslim migrant policies. I’ve written a great deal about the five-year-old who was raped by three Muslim migrant boys in Twin Falls. Now here is yet another case of sex assault by a Muslim migrant in the same small city. A Muslim Twin Falls man arrested over the weekend and charged with sexually assaulting a mentally retarded woman was quoted by local media in June as representative of Muslims opposing “bad things” and bemoaning the fact that the “picture of Muslims is getting worse.” As reported by...

Unfortunately when the wider U.S. electorate voted the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers to be the president of the United States they were, perhaps unwittingly, ushering in a new era of fundamental change, governmental weaponization. Events and outcomes ceased to be determined by laws, and the politics of any given event became the overriding filter through which all action, or lack thereof, would be determined. The last seven years have provided numerous examples for points of reference. The IRS investigation of conservative groups was driven by politics, not legality. The investigation of officer Darren Wilson was driven by politics, not...

Win anyway. Don't let their nonsense become an excuse for losing I could feel Donald Trump’s frustration from thousands of miles away. I’d been there. In the course of a campaign for president, you say something that isn’t as clear as it could be. The political class calls statements like this “inartful” for some reason. You know what you meant. It’s easy enough to explain it. But it doesn’t matter, because the media caught you in a trap, and now they’re going into days or weeks of histrionics over a completely absurd interpretation of something you said – an inference...

The mainstream media and all of the above are selling the Big Lie that Clinton would be better for America than Donald Trump From the very dregs of the filthy scum pond that is the coverage of Election 2016, the main media message is not that corrupt Hillary Clinton is immoral but that the defenders of and those who would vote for Donald J. Trump are! Were it not for the fact that America is on its last legs, this would go down as someone’s sick joke. “Liars Are Us” is not only a tag that can legitimately be worn...

First off, I'd like to apologize for setting liberals' hair on fire the other day. I guess I just wanted to see what would happen. My bad. All I did was point out on social media that liberal Democrats like President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have said stupid things about guns and political violence just like Republican Donald Trump, who is famous for saying stupid things. And all that sensitive liberal hair went poof, like a napkin on a toaster. Fool that I am, I didn't know that comparing stupid Democratic comments to stupid Republican comments is frowned upon...

On Thursday, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer introduced an interviewee as a “gun owner” and “Second Amendment supporter.” The interviewee? Mark Kelly, who, together with wife Gabby Gifford, founded Americans for Responsible Solutions (ARS), whom Blitzer described as a “gun violence prevention group” (the label gun-control groups prefer of late). Check Kelly’s credentials: ARS’ website supports so-called “universal” background checks, closing non-existent “loopholes” for online sales and “unlicensed dealers,” and funding of Centers for Disease Control anti-gun research into gun violence as a “public health issue.” His statements support Massachusetts AG Maura Healey, who just imposed a unilateral ban on the sale...

I don't know nearly enough about the legal system, but wouldn't it be possible to form some kind of class action lawsuit against the Associated Press, maybe even the never-Trump movement, those who violated their oath to support the nominee, and a few others I would really like to lump in there, for their near-RICO efforts to thwart the will of the legitimate voters of the Republican Party??? They're way more than the proverbial "ham sandwich" . . .

Revelation 2:2 I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. Tolerance should be a two-way street, but in America it only goes one direction since it has become a weapon of Marxists. They will tolerate nearly any behavior or thought as long as it promotes their agenda. When it comes to their agenda you either agree completely or those tolerant folks will line you up in front of the media firing squad...

Sharyl Attkisson was interviewed on NewsMax TV with Steve Malzberg and discussed an event she attended where a well known DC Journalist Bureau Chief urged all of the reporters in attendance to earnestly work at taking down candidate Donald Trump. When you consider the event being discussed, and further add the known hatred from a very specific Washington Bureau Chief, it stands to reason Attkisson is discussing Carl Bernstein. Bernstein previously said that all reporters have a professional journalistic responsibility to destroy the candidacy of Donald Trump. Bernstein, if you didn’t know, is a full-throated supporter of Hillary Clinton.

Sharyl Attkisson: There’s definitely tilted news coverage. I can’t imagine any objective observer who would think otherwise. And, I tell you, I was in a room of journalists in which one of them encouraged the others quite publicly to step up and do something because he said the outcome of this election was so important. And the other thing he said led me to believe and others. He was talking about journalists stepping outside of their role to make sure Donald Trump doesn’t get elected. And he received applause for that. It’s fine for the pundits to do that but...

It’s no secret that CNN and pretty much the entire American media, save Fox News, is sold out for Hillary Clinton. Witness CNN’s Chris Cuomo, the man who called Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort a liar and debated Rudy Giuliani for 32 break-less minutes on the ridiculous liberal interpretation of Trump’s Second Amendment statement, wax eloquent during a 2014 segment during which he and another host were discussing Clinton’s potential entry into the race.
