Ana Navarro is a bitter, pro-amnesty Bush hack who can’t handle the fact that Donald Trump not only won the presidency, but completely destroyed the Bush dynasty and any future in politics for Bush and their lackeys. Christine Quinn is a butch liberal New Yorker who ran for Mayor of NYC and failed to Communist Bill de Blasio. Both Ana Navarro and Christine Quinn were reduced to screamer at Kayleigh McEnany and Jeffrey Lord.

On Monday, some of the biggest names in TV news trooped into Trump Tower for an off-the-record meeting with the president-elect.It was an all-star cast. Not just on-air stars like Lester Holt, Wolf Blitzer and George Stephanopoulos, but their bosses were also summoned before the Potentate of Fifth Avenue.The meeting was a huge success — for Donald Trump. Soon after it broke up, a leak to the New York Post brought on a story about how thoroughly the president-elect had taken the attendees to task.With attribution to anonymous tipsters, the Post wrote: “The meeting was a total disaster. The TV...

President-elect Donald Trump had an off-the-record chat with several top media executives and on-air talent from major networks at NYC’s Trump Tower on Monday, November 21, intended to clear the air after a tough election.  While The New York Post reported that the meeting was like a “firing squad” and very heated, other outlets said that progress had been made with the soon-to-be commander in chief who lambasted the media as “dishonest” throughout his campaign.   The Post claimed that the 70-year-old business mogul yelled at the attendees during the tense meeting. -snip- On the other hand, a source told...

Advertisement or news article? Think tank or lobbying group? Verified Facebook page or fake account? Students from middle school to high school might be social media savvy nowadays, but they’re easily fooled by biased sources, ads that resemble news articles and even bogus social media pages, a study released Tuesday by the Stanford History Education Group showed.

Looking back on it now, who do you think provided the best commentary on the run-up to the election? And a related question: who has provided the most insightful commentary on the aftermath, i.e. "Why Trump Happened," "What His Victory Means," "What the Protesters and Crybullies Want"?

CNN host Brooke Baldwin teared up live on TV on Tuesday after a political commentator used a racial slur on her show. The news anchor was visibly shaken after Charles Kaiser, a left-wing author, was discussing recently-appointed Donald Trump adviser Stephen Bannon, who he accused of having previously used the N-word. 'If you don't want to support the alt-right, don't choose as a White House counselor a man who uses the word n****r,' Kaiser said. A shocked Baldwin initially raised her eyebrows and let Kaiser continue. Kaiser is a regular on the show and often speaks out against Trump. On...

My favorite headline was from The Nation: "Relax, Donald Trump Can't Win."My favorite election clip was provided by Bret Stephens (who was joined in his folly by many others). And if you just...

<p>The fall out from media bigwigs on the receiving end of a smack down of epic proportions from President-elect Donald Trump continues, with several participants whining to The New Yorker about how mean Trump was.</p> <p>Four executives who attended the off-the-record meeting are quoted without being identified and if there’s a common theme in the remarks, it may be the liberal application of f-bombs.</p>

Someone leaked a full copy of Newsweek’s recalled “Madam President” magazine — it’s hilarious. Newsweek licensee Topix Media, who created the magazine, said 125,000 copies with Hillary Clinton on the cover were printed and shipped, though only 17 were actually sold.

Blurb quoting white supremacist leader ‘was poor judgment and we very much regret it and apologize’ CNN apologized for a banner flashed onscreen during a segment on white supremacist groups which read, “Alt-right founder questions whether Jews are people.” The segment was aired Monday on “The Lead,” which was being guest-hosted by Jim Sciutto. On Tuesday, CNN said in a statement concerning the banner, known as a chyron: “It was poor judgment and we very much regret it and apologize.” The Monday segment concerned statements made over the weekend by Richard Spencer at an event of his white supremacist think...

CNN and others, QUIT telling our leaders who to denounce or silence, etc. because we didn't vote for these people so YOU could tell them what to do and negate the results of the election. We voted to get something done about illegal immigration and their involvement and voting in our elections, which is something no other country would tolerate, not soft pedal it. We voted for a ban on muslim immigration and severe restrictions on what they can do while living here and the influence they can have (they hate us). We voted for fiscal responsibility. We voted for...

Complete Headline: 'F*** him!' Emotional TV anchors and execs hit 'bluffing blowhard' Trump for turning his Monday media summit into a showdown Four of the individuals who attended Trump's media summit on Monday are speaking about what happened during the off-the-record sit down Trump reportedly spent the first 20 minutes of the meeting telling those present that they were 'liars' and 'dishonest' 'After the meeting today, though - and I am being human with you here - I think, F*** him!' said one person present 'He is the same kind of blustering, bluffing blowhard as he was during the campaign,'...

Here is the essence of Trump's brilliance. The hell with the MSM!!! He continues to release Youtube videos where he spells out EXACTLY what he wants. And when the media complains, he basically gives them a middle finger and says when they start to report on him fairly, he might talk to them! This means no more of the media slandering him and no more of the media simply playing a ten second spot and making people think that's all he is about... Trump can spell it all out and DOES spell it all out in his vids! Brilliant!

<p>Donald Trump‘s meeting with the New York Times Tuesday is suddenly back on again after being just as suddenly cancelled.</p> <p>Before 7 a.m. Trump was on Twitter bashing the “failing” newspaper (which is not failing), and announcing that he was calling off their meeting because they had attempted to change the terms of the meeting.</p>

MSNBC's Katy Tur complains that Donald Trump may avoid the media to "spin the truth in his favor" "without the filter of the press." From a roundtable with MSNBC reporters Tamron Hall, Katy Tur and Kristen Welker Monday morning: KATY TUR, MSNBC: Donald Trump is going to try to do things his own way. We know he has already used Twitter to his advantage in that sense and try to get out his message without the filter of the press. That way Donald Twitter can say what he wants to say. Sometimes, spin the truth in his favor. TAMRON HALL,...

Evidence keeps piling up that the American people have a very low opinion of how the media reports on our elections. The latest Pew Research Center opinion survey revealed “Just 22% give the press a grade of an A or B, while 38% give it a failing grade” – an F. The approval of the media has been declining for years. After the 2004 re-election of George W. Bush, 33 percent of voters gave the press an A or a B, compared to just 16 percent picking “F.” In 2008, the gap between A/B and F shrunk to ten points...

The readers of The New York Times are speaking out against the newspaper's election coverage and complaining to their offices at “five times the normal level.” “The number of complaints coming into the public editor’s office is five times the normal level, and the pace has only just recently tapered off,” public editor Liz Spayd wrote. “My colleague Thomas Feyer, who oversees the letters to the editor, says the influx from readers is one of the largest since Sept. 11.” “From my conversations with readers, and from the emails that have come into my office,” she added, “I can tell...

On With All Due Respect, John Heilemann was aggressively questioning Kellayanne Conway, arguing that conflicts of interests would arise when the Trump administration makes decisions that could affect Trump business interests at home or abroad. Conway eventually had enough. She shot back: “look, John, I know the election results are very tough to swallow, particularly for those of you who just couldn’t see it coming, couldn’t even conceive of the possibility that the other candidate may actually win, that you don’t understand America.” Ouch.

In April 2015, the Clinton campaign held a private dinner party with at least 65 journalists and pundits in attendance. Individuals from CNN, CBS, The New York Times, NBC, MSNBC and more came together under the campaign’s stated goal of “framing the race” to help Clinton win. Many of the above media outlets were indeed the Clinton campaign’s biggest surrogates throughout the 2016 presidential election. This past election cycle was unprecedented in terms of the bias and lack of objectivity exercised by the mainstream media. The emphasis on mainstream media blaming “fake news” for Donald Trump’s election is an attempt...
