Al Sharpton would probably be at the top of that list. In fact, I’d love to hear why they’ve long been silent on NBC pay-rolling a guy perhaps best known for inciting a riot. Or maybe they could weigh in on Rachel Maddow’s spreading of 2016 election conspiracy-theories, or Joy Reid’s infamous homophobic blogs.

Bill O’Reilly: If a young child is not exposed to learning by age two, that innocent, helpless person is already at risk in a competitive society. If there are no books in the home, no awareness-building games, no fun dialogue with the parents, the child may not develop a curiosity about life.

What does Stelter stand for?  Well, we can start with gullibility and move on to cluelessness.  Like so many liberals, both in an out of the media, he was eager to believe the worst about Trump supporters, which led to his bafflement on why such a nice gay, black man would ever make up such a story.

If President Obama abused his power and crossed a bright line to get his way in spite of Congress, isn’t President Trump doing the same thing?

Question #1: Like most decent Americans, you are against racism in all its ugly forms. To compensate black Americans for what they’ve historically gone through would you support legislation that would pay them reparations – say, $50,000 to every African American man, woman and child alive today?

Bernard Goldberg

Is he guilty simply because he acknowledges that around the same time he did in fact put dark shoe polish on his puss to look like Michael Jackson in a dance contest in San Antonio? But if that’s reason enough to be labeled a racist why isn’t anyone calling Billy Crystal a racist?  Never mind that Billy Crystal is not a racist. But he did put blackface on to look like Sammy Davis Jr.

Stand by as Chris Matthews or Don Lemon or some other left-wing knucklehead comes to the conclusion that it’s all a Machiavellian Republican plot to install one of their own in the governor’s mansion.

It’s become Democratic Party orthodoxy, at least if you’re a progressive running for president:  First, you righteously demand that the richest Americans pay their “fair share” which is a top tax rate of at least 70 percent.  Then you promise “free” college at public universities for everyone. After that, you say that health care is a right and demand “Medicare for all.”

If it’s a race between Donald Trump and almost anybody there’s a good chance almost anybody would win.  Enough Americans who voted for Mr. Trump the first time around, either because they wanted to give a brash billionaire who was different from every other politician a chance, or because they flat out loathed Hillary Clinton, may very well have grown weary of the non-stop chaos and controversy of his presidency.

Let’s just say that condemning bigotry when it comes from a minority group — while not unheard of — isn’t a strong suit of the Left; it kind of violates a certain liberal etiquette.

Acosta is a hard news reporter who’s supposed to keep his opinions to himself. But it’s obvious that Acosta is incapable of doing that.  He loathes the president and he’s determined to make a name for himself by showing anyone watching how much he loathes the man who calls CNN “fake news.”

Bernard Goldberg

No one is counting on a personality makeover…But if he can take a few baby steps in the direction of normalcy…and instead focus on progressive policies, then he’s got a shot at a second term.

Bernard Goldberg

I’m sure Jim Acosta sees himself as a tough reporter, as a journalist who confronts the powerful on behalf of the American people.  Bull!  He’s a TV narcissist (not unlike the president he detests).

Bernard Goldberg

Bill O’Reilly: CNN and most of the national media are no longer in business to bring information to Americans, their game plan now is to destroy the Trump presidency.  It’s an ongoing news reality saga designed to get ratings and circulation: can the media bring down Trump?

Bernard Goldberg

Does President Trump look like a nut job compared, say, to Elizabeth Warren, who thinks she’s a Cherokee Indian because she has a drop of Native-American blood flowing through her 99.99 percent white European body? I thought progressives were the ones who yelled about “culture appropriation.”

Bernard Goldberg

You know that old line about how the lunatics have taken over the asylum?  Well, they have.  And the mental institution under attack is the Democratic Party.

Now that all but the ugly memories of the Kavanaugh horror show are behind us, it’s worth asking how such a travesty could have happened in the first place.  How did Democrats lose their way and abandon long held liberal principles about due process and the presumption of innocence?  History offers up some clues.

Bernard Goldberg

Liberals have a long and noble history of defending the rights of the accused, especially when the evidence against them surfaces suspiciously at the 11th hour and is not backed up by witnesses.  Except, as it turns out, when the accused is a well off conservative who as a kid went to a preppy Catholic school and hung out at country clubs.  Privileged people like that apparently don’t deserve the presumption of innocence. 

Bernard Goldberg

If there’s a hearing with both sides testifying under oath, there’s one thing we can count on: Democrats won’t vote for Kavanaugh even if Ms. Ford says. I made the whole thing up.

Donald Trump and Nike may be very different in very important ways.  They have different values, different worldviews. But they have one thing in common:  Both know how to rev up their base.  Both are good at needlessly polarizing a country that is already way, way too polarized.
