Despite this Hall of Fame moment in media malpractice, CNN keeps hosting Rather on its ironically named media program Reliable Sources. Again and again, the disgraced newsman is asked to dish out wisdom on the truth, fact versus fiction, accuracy in journalism, and basically anything that is the opposite of Dan Rather.

The Conformity of “Wokeness”
Being “woke” seems to mean that your eyes are wide open to everyone else’s political sins. Essentially, “woke” on the Left has become conformity to a political dogma, and may God help you if you are still asleep.
Media Bemoan Lack of Impeachment “Pizazz” and They Have a Point
NBC News and Reuters are bearing the anti-Trump #Resistance’s rage because they dared to publish an uncomfortable truth. “Consequential, but dull: Trump impeachment hearings begin without a bang,” reads the headline to a Reuters article co-authored by reporters Jeff Mason and Patricia Zengerle.
Schiff’s Lies Only Grow More Brazen as the Impeachment Charade Continues
Rep. Adam Schiff revealed that he’s unfit to lead legitimate impeachment proceedings in the very first moments of the first public hearing his committee conducted. His undisguised personal animus against President Trump and partisan disdain for his Republican colleagues make it clear that he’s incapable of conducting an investigation aimed at discovering the truth.
Dems Have a Colonel Vindman Problem
The Vindman transcript also showed a witness whose testimony was filled with opinion, with impressions, who had little new to offer, who withheld important information from the committee, who was steeped in a bureaucracy that has often been hostile to the president, and whose lawyer, presumably with Vindman’s approval, expressed unmistakable disdain, verging on contempt, for members of Congress who asked inconvenient questions.
Mayor Mike Rides to Rescue America from Lowbrow Pleasures
Michael Bloomberg looked out on a Democratic field that would abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement and decided that America instead needed a candidate who would abolish Slurpees.
Expect More Republicans to Echo This Pat Toomey Line on Impeachment
“None of it has changed my fundamental view on this,” Toomey told the Philadelphia Inquirer,referring to recent developments on Ukraine. “I think there needs to be a very high bar for removing a president from office. It has never happened in the history of the republic, and I think this president has made errors of judgment and he has said and done things that I don’t agree with, but I have yet to see something in my mind as a high crime or misdemeanor that warrants overturning the results of the last election.”
How Trump Helped Ukraine
One notable and little-reported conclusion emerging from the House Democratic impeachment proceedings is a consensus among some foreign policy professionals that President Trump’s Ukraine policy has been an improvement over President Barack Obama’s.
The Media Protected Jeffrey Epstein and Crucified Brett Kavanaugh
Is it any wonder the American public distrusts the media?
Marie Yovanovitch Testimony Confirms Trump Had No Reason to Oust Her
The president had no real reason to oust Yovanovitch — the rumors about her “disloyalty” were based on false information that has since been debunked. But Trump’s allies, including Rudy Giuliani and two of his henchmen, used the falsehoods as an opportunity to get rid of someone who threatened their financial endeavors in the region.
MSNBC Challenges Washington Post for Spot as President of Elizabeth Warren Fan Club
MSNBC is looking to depose the Washington Post as president of the Elizabeth Warren 2020 fan club. On Friday, Warren proposed $20.5 trillion in new taxes and government spending to fund her “Medicare for all” plan…Many of the whiz kids at MSNBC hailed Warren’s new policy paper as some sort of definitive response to her critics.
Dems’ Proposed Impeachment Rules Are Still Unfair
President Trump deserves to face an impeachment hearing, but his Republican defenders are right that Democrats still aren’t promising a fair process.
Stephanie Grisham’s Unworthy Comments
Stephanie Grisham, the president’s press secretary, twice recently said things that are appalling and below the dignity of her office. First, she heartily endorsed her boss’s characterizing people who oppose him as “human scum.” A few days later, she said that Gen. John Kelly, one of the country’s bravest and most decorated military officers and President Trump’s former chief of staff, “was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great president.”
China Exposes Leftist Companies as the Paper Tigers They Are
Corporate America’s “virtue signaling,” ultrawoke, enlightened, socially conscious routine is finally running low on gas. They make a habit of browbeating, undermining, and belittling conservatives while promoting themselves as paragons of leftist moral values. They release ads extolling the virtues of tolerance, conservation, and, above all else, liberalism. Their smugness and self-satisfaction are almost beyond parody. Almost.
Sell the Hotels
If President Trump wants to hold the G-7 summit at the Doral resort in Miami, there’s only one step he needs to take beforehand: Sell it.
Biden Twice Used His Position as Senator to Intervene to Boost Hunter’s Lobbying
Joe Biden privately contacted the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice when he was a senior and influential U.S. senator to discuss issues that his son Hunter’s firm was being paid to lobby on, according to government records. On at least two occasions, Biden contacted federal departments to discuss issues related to Hunter’s firm’s lobbying clients, according to records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
Journalists Are Doing Nonstop PR for the Intelligence Community
Of the many disturbing examples of media malpractice in the Trump era, none are so alarming as the press’s unswerving deference to current and former members of the intelligence community. They can be perjurers, power abusers, perhaps even killers-by-drone, but as long as they oppose President Trump, they can expect journalists to give them a sympathetic ear.
Justin Trudeau Eked Out a Win But Canada’s Liberal Honeymoon Just Might Be Over
Despite snatching a second term from the jaws of defeat, Trudeau’s Liberal Party finished second in the national vote tally. Conservatives have inched ahead as the most popular party among Canadian voters, at 34.4% — even in defeat, 1.4% more than the Liberals.
There’s No Reason to Assume the Ukraine Whistleblower Is a Patriot Because He’s a Public Servant
It’s really hard not to laugh out loud at liberal New York Times writer Michelle Cottle’s defense of all the career government employees who make up the so-called “deep state” by describing them as “patriotic public servants.”
Dems Will Miss Middle America Again
There are a healthy amount of middle-class suburban voters who are looking for an alternative to their options currently. It appears only two on that stage understood the lessons of 2016 and 2018: the mayor of a Midwest city and the senator from a Midwest state. The rest seem to be repeating the mistakes of the former senator from New York.
The Pelosi-Schiff Impeachment Farce Has No Respect for Due Process
Pelosi and company have failed us and failed you. They refuse to bring the question of whether we should investigate Trump to a vote in the House of Representatives. Without the formal vote, Schiff can continue to freeze out the public and their representatives by holding closed-door hearings, suppressing the transcripts, and preventing the president from representation of legal counsel.
Trump’s Tax Dodges Look More Serious Than Whitewater
Conservatives who spent years investigating and criticizing the Clinton family business dealings known as “Whitewater” and Hillary Clinton’s cattle futures scam ought to be equally outraged by President Trump’s obviously sketchy tax dodges.
Warren May Be Surging But Biden Hasn’t Collapsed Yet
Elizabeth Warren is the only candidate making sustained gains in the Democratic presidential primary polls. But reports of Joe Biden’s demise are greatly exaggerated. Following her botched campaign rollout, which left her early polling in the single digits, Warren has rebounded to a statistical tie with Biden.
Pence Revs Up Communications Operation to Combat Impeachment
Republican insiders, conceding the political risks of impeachment, say it is crucial that Pence communicate quickly and effectively.
