He’s been treated at hospital and released. pic.twitter.com/nrPIc1MMIL— John Bresnahan (@BresPolitico) August 4, 2019 Read the comment thread following this reporter's tweet announcing that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell fell and broke his shoulder. Here's a sample from over 600 comments. So sweet. Perhaps an angry Highlands progressive could pretend to be a home nurse and throw his food tray on the floor. That wouldn't be the first time. A group of protesters led by Black Lives Matter activist Chanelle Helm posted this Facebook live video outside Mitch McConnell's home that included invectives like "fuck you, fuck your wife, fuck everything you stand for." Helm gave McConnell's address and encouraged others to shout at

It’s been one year since John Schnatter’s n-word destroyed his legacy. He has one path to public redemption.
One year ago, "Papa John" Schnatter contacted me to interview him on the radio. Schnatter's glorious life was unraveling after intense blowback from the pizza magnate's use of the n-word on a training call. The interview got national media attention and online snark but Schnatter's freefall was in an unstoppable plunge. Instead of reversing the narrative, our 28 minute chat only solidified the image that Papa John wasn't ready to sincerely apologize. He said that was coerced into saying the n-word by people who were out to get him banished. But it was Schnatter who was at fault. All he needed to do was literally say "n-word" instead of saying the actual word. But he chose to use the nuclear bomb

When any news outlet can be labeled by its political flavor, that’s Dereliction of Duty
A study from Northwestern University lays bare the obvious political bias Google foists on people searching news stories. Google algorithms slant heavily toward liberal flavored news accounts. Yawn. We know Google pursues liberal causes. That's not the real story here. What the hell happened to an industry that's primary mission is supposed to be centered on objectivity? Look at how easily we can assign a political flavoring to various news outlets. That's pathetic. What kind of jellyfish are journalism schools pumping out into the world? Does no one have the integrity to see both sides of an argument? If you're a liberal or conservative activist journalist, you are a fraud and a disgrace to the basic principles of
At least Hillary and Barack tweeted the word Easter, CNN reporter lances Trump with ham-handed “small stuff” reference after hundreds are killed
With approximately 300 Christians killed and 500 more wounded in Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama struggled to find the right word to describe the victims. Some of the victims were surely non-Christian but the targets were Catholic churches and hotels that cater to western tourists. So, yes, mostly Christians. It was one of the most severe mass casualty terrorist attack series since 9/11. At least twenty four people were arrested following the bombings. What flavor of terrorists brought these horrors? Mum's the word by many media outlets. Labeling the perpetrators is tricky business in an ultra-sensitive news environment where accusations against the "marginalized" are unwelcome. Only a few media references about the
Toughest job in America? The one held by Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation notes several instances where Pres. Trump pressured his top aides to lie or mislead. One day after the president fired FBI Director James Comey, @PressSec told reporters Comey no longer had the confidence of Trump and other people. pic.twitter.com/8EiLL2Dn5E— CBS This Morning (@CBSThisMorning) April 19, 2019 Is there a double standard when it comes media treatment of conservative women vs liberal women? Is the Pope Catholic? Reverse the roles above and show a white woman comedian torching a woman of color at the White House Correspondents Dinner. You already know that the OUTRAGE machine would be in overdrive. Selective feminism creates exaggerated fawning coverage of liberal women and guaranteed derision of conservative women. We in
Schiff Happens – Liberals bamboozled again as “Russian to judgment” pays no rubles
"I applaud you, Donnie! NBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, and The New York Times worked it as hard as they could yet came up with a nothing burger. I am heartbroken but still powerful, Donnie! Go ahead and shoot someone on Fifth Avenue. Apparently no one can do anything about it!" Poor sad Liberals. Our lefty media spoon feeds them hope every day that "it's the beginning of the end" for Donald Trump because "the walls are closing in." Breathless media reports of BOMBSHELL BREAKING NEWS stories that declare "there's no way out" for Trump. Hahahahaha. Nope. There is much fresh sadness in Liberal Land. After months of hysterical news reports about the Mueller investigation into Donald Trump's OBVIOUS collusion with Russians,
Represent.us — Welcome to the Jennifer Lawrence civics class and the things she left out
For over two years, America's news anchors have been breathlessly declaring that Donald Trump's presidency "is near the end" with daily BOMBSHELL reports of "the walls closing in" toward impeachment. Louisville actor Jennifer Lawrence and her politically active friends claim they're offering a nonpartisan solution to America's hysteria-driven news cycle. Jennifer Lawrence and Represent.us have a strategy to change our political system. Will it fly? What Jennifer is not acknowledging is that too many megaphones with differing opinions all monetize misery. MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, et al. make a living by siding with liberals on virtually every issue, always demonizing the conservatives. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Breitbart, et al. do the same thing in reverse. THere's money in them
Media is really individual people and people are not objective
There is no shortage of public discourse about biased media. I've spent 40+ years in media with hundreds of colleagues in radio, TV, and print. Media is absolutely staffed with at least 85% liberal leaning people. That's not a slam, just a fact. When liberals are asked about this imbalance, they immediately reply "FOX NEWS!" OK, yes. Fox News, Breitbart, Rush Limbaugh, and a host of smaller conservative outlets still only make up that one piece of pumpkin pie seen above. The rest of the pie represents the liberal influence in the delivery of news products. Journalism instructors are supposed to teach critical thinking and discipline for objectivity but human behavior ultimately prevails in everything we do. Former CBS
