The most daunting thing facing the liberal media about Trump, which seems to stump their agenda at every turn, is the truth. By Ron Hart | Syndicated Columnist Not a bad week for “fake news.” There were only two major fake news stories that made the rounds last week, and one that started this week. First, the mainstream media reported that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein threatened to quit over the James Comey firing. The story, unsubstantiated, of course, ran in the major media. When asked a few days later, Rosenstein said he never threatened to resign. Another manufactured media

6131 27 AP/Mark Lennihan by JOEL B. POLLAK19 May 20179,232NEWSLETTER The common element in nearly all the major New York Timesand Washington Poststories about President Donald Trump this week is that they are based on source documents the outlets cannot authenticate, do not possess, admit are partial, and refuse to share. Friday’s supposed “bombshell” stories follow the same pattern. The Times reports that Trump told the visiting Russians that former FBI director James Comey was a “nut job,” and that firing him had eased “pressure” in his ability to conduct foreign policy — though the Times takes Trump to mean the legal pressure of the investigation. (That spin makes no sense: firing

By Ben Domenech APRIL 25, 2017 Yesterday, MSNBC host Chris Hayes went off on the idea that American conservatives are paying an outsized degree of attention to academia and speech issues on campus because conservatism is based on a politics of victimhood and grievance. I am not exaggerating. If you haven’t been paying attention to right wing media recently, it’s *amazing* how much attention current campus controversies have gotten. The reason, I think, is that the right

It was no secret during the campaign that Donald Trump was a narcissist and a demagogue who used fear and dishonesty to appeal to the worst in American voters. The Times called him unprepared and unsuited for the job he was seeking, and said his election would be a “catastrophe.” Still, nothing prepared us for the magnitude of this train wreck. Like millions of other Americans, we clung to a slim hope that the new president would turn out to be all noise and bluster,

The study, by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center, released Thursday concludes that Trump’s coverage “set a new standard for negativity.” Looking at the coverage of President Trump’s first 100 days from 10 major American and European outlets, the study found that Trump

But research shows that liberals are just as prejudiced against conservatives as conservatives are against liberals. By MATTHEW HUTSON May 09, 2017 In March, students at Middlebury College disrupted a lecture by the conservative political scientist Charles Murray because they disagreed with some of his writings. Last month, the University of California, Berkeley, canceled a lecture by the conservative commentator Ann Coulter due to concerns for her safety—just two months after uninviting the conservative writer Milo Yiannopoulos due to violent protests.

The court is filled with allies of Venezuela’s socialist president, Nicolas Maduro, while the legislature is dominated by Maduro’s opponents, and the court’s ruling was seen as the latest step on Venezuela’s descent into a full-fledged dictatorship. But following international outcry—as well as the appearance of cracks within Maduro’s own party—the court reversed itself just a
