Tim Graham, executive editor of NewsBusters, spoke with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam on Thursday regarding the media’s reaction to the shooting at a Republican baseball practice that critically injured Rep. Steve Scalise. He also talked about the backlash of Megyn Kelly’s interview with Alex Jones. Graham commented on MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell’s reporting on the shooting by saying, “In 2011, when Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords was shot, they jumped on the idea that this was the Tea Party. In Denver, they jumped on the notion that the shooter was the Tea Party. In both cases, they didn’t have...

Progressive terrorist James T. Hodgkinson, a former campaign worker for radical communist Bernie Sanders and his 2016 Democrat presidential campaign who attempted to assassinate Republican congressmen Wednesday at a GOP baseball practice, may have also been influenced by leading leftists in the media. According to Hodgkinson’s recently removed Facebook page, the “Bernie Bro,” was big fans of some of the most hateful progressive leftists on TV, including HBO’s John Oliver, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, former MSNBC host and current Putin propagandist on Russia Today (RT) host Ed Schultz, and HBO’s Bill Maher, all leading figures in what we call the Democrat...

Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” host Rachel Maddow reacted to news that James Hodgkinson, the now-deceased alleged shooter in an incident that has resulted in five people hospitalized, including House Majority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), was a fan of her program. Maddow referenced a Hodgkinson letter to the editor that appeared in the July 29, 2012 edition of the Belleview (IL) News-Democrat, but denied having received correspondence Hodgkinson. “[H]e once submitted a letter to the editor that cited statistics about political donations that he says he heard on this TV show because he said he watched this...

MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski implied on Thursday morning that President Donald Trump’s rhetoric was somehow ultimately responsible for the attempted assassination of Republican congressmen in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday. While halfheartedly acknowledging a myriad of other possible factors that may have contributed to the toxic political climate (save increasingly extreme mainstream liberal rhetoric), Brzezinski made it clear that she believes — and therefore wishes her audience to believe — that Trump’s arrival on the political scene was the spark that set America ablaze. "I think that very carefully we have to talk about the added dynamic here," Brzezinski...

Democracy dies in darkness. Sometimes it helps to shed a little light on the hateful leftist echo chamber. That's what Malcolm Harris has done... ..."If the shooter has a serious health condition then is taking potshots at the GOP house leadership considered self defense?" Harris, a regular at the New Republic tweeted. Another tweet said, "Steve Scalise is stable, but a lot of Americans die from hospital errors so keep crossing your fingers." Scalise had been shot by a Bernie campaign volunteer and Maddow fan while practicing for a charity baseball game. Harris' work has appeared at the Washington Post,...

I flipped around this morning expecting to see a call for unity and a reduction of talk advocating violence to Trump and republicans. But everybody CNN, MSNBC and the rest except for FOX are talking about Muller and the criminal investigation of Trump. They are continuing to push the separation of political groups and fueling violence. At what point can these Hollywood personalities and MSM which opening support violence on republicans and Trump and his family be sued.... especially when violence occurs like the riots and the assassination attempts and threats?

Republican Representative Steve Scalise, the House Majority Whip, and two Capitol Police were shot during baseball practice on Wednesday morning. Scalise was shot in the hip and tried to drag himself off the field after he was shot. The shooter, James T. Hodgkinson was a Bernie supporter who was obsessed with Trump-Russia conspiracy theories. He is now dead. The New York Times tipped off the GOP shooter on the GOP baseball practice field in an April article. “When members of Congress practice in the early mornings in an Alexandrea, Va., public park for their Congressional Baseball Game, plainclothes United States...

RUSH: A crazed Bernie Sanders supporter, 66-year-old James Hodgkinson, deranged and delusional, no doubt driven to that to some degree, as we’ve been able to ascertain by examining the Facebook pages of groups that he watches, joins, interacts with, as well as the media he consumes. He’s from Belleville, Illinois. A CNN anchor asked the governor of Virginia today, The Punk, Terry McAuliffe, “How did he get here from Illinois?” I’m not kidding. The anchorette actually said, “How did he get here from Illinois?” What? Why was he here and not in Illinois? CNN is really, really, really, really low-key...

CNN sister network TNT will be sponsoring the final two performances this weekend of the Trump assassination play Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar by the Public Theater in New York City’s Central Park. The cable network is using the sponsorship of the graphic assassination of President Donald Trump on stage to promote a new series about Shakespeare, Will, scheduled to premiere on July 10. The announcement follows the recent loss of sponsorships and controversy surrounding the Oskar Eustis-helmed production, which depicts Caesar as a Trump-like politician.

You knew the MSM would turn the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise and others into a gun-control story. And sure enough, on MSNBC just now, terrorism "expert" Malcolm Nance said: “The most important thing that we need to understand from this is, this is what happens when you have an over-proliferation of guns. And it’s to be expected to a certain extent.” View the video here.

THE LEFT IN AMERICA – PROGRESSIVES, DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS OF ALL STRIPES – HAVE GONE FROM BEING SNOWFLAKES NEEDING SAFE SPACES TO BLOOD-THIRSTY PEDDLERS OF VIOLENCE THAT TODAY HAS LED TO THE DEATH OF ONE OF THEIR OWN WHO DIED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO “DESTROY TRUMP & CO”. As news of the the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise hit the Internet today, Left-wing Democrats and Progressives celebrated with unfettered abandon. Not only did they display absolutely no compassion of any kind for the wounded congressman, they called him every kind of vile name and insult you could think of. In short,...

RUSH: Okay, so I have a little bit more time to study CNN. Now, I have observed that CNN is been very, very low-key here today since the event happened in Alexandria, Virginia. And I think there are many possible explanations for this. But I do believe that one of them is that this obviously puts a damper on the anti-Trump hysteria that is CNN (for a few hours at least). I mean, you gotta tamp it down. But you know what else? I’ve had people look at this for me ’cause I, of course, during the first hour of...

Democrats have a blunt message for colleagues worried the party has become dangerously obsessed with Russia: Get over it. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ testimony Tuesday put Democrats in a familiar position, reacting to news about President Donald Trump and the ongoing investigation into his campaign’s alleged Russia connections. To skeptics, the story is a distraction from bread-and-butter issues that voters actually care about, like the unpopular Republican-backed health care bill, and a sign the party is already over-reaching well before the midterm congressional elections. But Democratic operatives are arguing that the party has no choice but to launch these attacks....

In a vox pops segment about the testimony of former FBI Director James Comey, MSNBC was caught trying to pretend that a former Obama campaign director was just a random women on the street giving her opinion. Canvassing the views of “everyday folks,” the network played a clip of a woman described as a “Los Angeles resident” named Alma Marquez. “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and the fact that he would make a very specific request to have everybody else leave the office so that he would be alone with Comey, for me, speaks volumes,” she said. However, it was...

Forget everything you are taught to believe about press integrity and honesty. The days of the “tough beat reporter” tracking down the story no matter the cost are long gone; journalists and reporters are not out for the big scoop anymore…because they are too scared. The previously proud press has been beaten into submission through years of oppressive measures and have emerged as lapdogs of the State. And the person most to blame for this? Barack Obama. Since 2002, the United States ranking in Press Freedom has fallen from 17th to 43rd (just behind Burkina Faso). And much of this...

This morning, MSM was in an uproar over alleged restrictions on reporters who wonder the halls of the Capital looking for interviews. Journalist Kasie Hunt was quick to express her outrage on Twitter in a string of rambling Tweets: https://twitter.com/kasie/status/874650189885263872 https://twitter.com/kasie/status/874650438439751685

Actor Mark Ruffalo, who plays the Hulk in The Avengers movie franchise, has never been shy when it comes to making his political opinions known to the public. On Saturday, the actor and social justice warrior tweeted a petition meant to “tell MSNBC, don’t promote right-wing hate.” The petition threatens repercussions if more white conservatives join the NBC family stating, “We need to let NBC executives know that there will be a sharp backlash if MSNBC becomes another platform for right-wing hate.”

In six tweets and one re-tweet Tuesday morning, a frustrated President Trump once again attacked the “fake news,” asked, “Where is their apology to me?” and criticized the federal appeals court that ruled against his “TRAVEL BAN” yesterday. He also talked about his push for "JOBS," and noted that "2 million more people just dropped out of Obamacare." Here are the tweets, which started coming around 7 a.m. "The Fake News Media has never been so wrong or so dirty. Purposely incorrect stories and phony sources to meet their agenda of hate. Sad!" {..snip..}

The Fake News Media has never been so wrong or so dirty. Purposely incorrect stories and phony sources to meet their agenda of hate. Sad!

New York City’s “Shakespeare In The Park” troupe had a very bad day on Monday, in the wake of the premier of its production of “Julius Caesar”, which portrays the assassination of a central figure who looks an awful lot like President Donald Trump. The inevitable controversy over the play has now resulted in several of the troupe’s major sponsors cancelling their support, including Delta Airlines, Bank of America, and later in the day, American Express. Naturally, Time Warner, the parent company of CNN, which has been dog-whistling in favor of assassinating the President since shortly after he announced his...
