The legacy media is dying, and as we've been cheering it on for years now, it's a long time coming: CNN is planning to wield the axe on some of its high-paid staff after dismal election ratings that cap off a disastrous period for the cable news network. According to an explosive new report from Puck, network executives will unleash sweeping lay-offs in a bid to save the network's flailing reputation. ...or those who don't know, "seeking a partner" means they're looking for someone to split the losses with so it doesn't affect their bottom line as badly. They're mostly...

Americans have been told by their government and media that disinformation is all around them, and that is not entirely false. One of the corporate media’s favorite tactics for swaying public opinion is to isolate a small part of a story, claim to debunk it, and then to declare the larger point of the story also to be without merit. We saw a glaring example of this recently with the story out of Springfield, Ohio. The town of less than 60,000 residents between Dayton and Columbus has been swamped over the last few years with more than 20,000 migrants from...

There is no way that POTUS, Trump could have made the alleged mistake at the Helsinki Press Conference with President Putin of the Russian Federation. What he has done, is to setup his Democrat & Media buffoons for a major political fall, with information passed onto to him by Vladmir Putin. Of course the Democrats and their lock-step media fell for it 100%. Today, Trump reworded his delivery from yesterday to a more favorable position for him. But, there is more to come. I believe, although I have no proof whatsoever, that Putin has fed Trump "Dynamite Facts" that lead...

Clintons have been demonstrably corrupt for decades. President Obama has experienced one scandal after another. Don’t expect the mainstream media to report the truth—they are too invested in supporting politicians who further the left’s agenda No matter how many times it is disproved, members of the Obama administration and the liberal media continue to claim that President Barack Obama has overseen a scandal-free executive branch during his two terms in office. Nothing could be further from the truth. Fast & Furious, the IRS targeting scandal, Benghazi, and the Veterans Administration scandal are but a taste of President Obama’s scandal-ridden leadership.

Memo To Thief Doberman: take your demeaning, inaccurate slanders and libels and crawl back into the black-hole oblivion of your lost career From Breitbart.com: “In his latest video commentary of GQ magazine, Keith Olbermann weighed on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s refusal to say he would absolutely accept the outcome of November’s general election. “Trump told moderator Chris Wallace at the final presidential debate he would have to wait and see if he would accept those results, to which Olbermann said was ‘the moral equivalent of treason.’

An Obama legacy will most certainly be of the extremely onerous sort A very recent televised ‘debate’ between the remaining combatants, uh, contestants, found an abundance of fireworks among the top three as noted in recent national polls; the names of Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. As for the fireworks, the candidate currently and since the beginning of the debates, entrenched in the lead position, Donald Trump, was the recipient of the bombardment of fireworks, bombshells and zingers, while the attackers, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz hoped to inflict enough damage to cause the leader to appear discomfited...

Newt Gingrich‘s love affair with the media continues. This morning during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Gingrich didn’t think the anchors were being either fair or balanced, saying to Dave Briggs: “Romney’s released zero and you’re asking me to take seriously a challenge about openness from Romney? Come on, even in the news media you should have some sense of balance. Isn’t fair and balanced part of the Fox News mantra?” said the former Fox News political analyst.

Media bias: liberal or conservative? by David Williams If our network news programs told us tonight that the sun was going to rise in the west and set in the east tomorrow, I think many of us would concur by shaking our heads like bobble dolls. Of course, I am embellishing here just a touch. CBS, NBC and ABC do not concoct false stories or opinions that make no sense. Nevertheless, the point is simple. We, all too often, accept what our primary news sources report as true and real into our value system. Many of us do not...
