Congresswoman Ihan Omar is getting some bad press in the Star Tribune, her hometown newspaper. Championing her candidacy in 2018, that publication, among many virtue-signaling mainstream news outlets, chose to ignore the solid work of investigate journalists and “conservative bloggers.” The Rep. Omar situation one again is another example of a quote attributed to playwright/filmmaker David Mamet who apparently opined that “In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern liberals have to pretend not to know things…”

U.S. President Donald Trump was voluntarily absent from the head table on Saturday night at the Washington Hilton Hotel ballroom. And you can add this to the list of Trump administration accomplishments: In removing himself from the guest list, the president rendered the so-called nerd prom — the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner– irrelevant by boycotting the “once ultra-trendy, star-studded” event for three consecutive years.
Did MSNBC and CNN, among other mainstream (or fakestream) “news” organizations, obsess over the Russia collusion narrative like it was a ratings-driven “as seen on TV” product? For instance, Glenn Greenwald was one of just a handful of left-wing journalists expressing skepticism about allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. In an appearance with Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson, Greenwald maintained that the 24-7, anti-Trump drumbeat by “CIA TV” was a wholly unethical, exploitative, and divisive way to make money. Special Counsel Mueller’s report has now cleared President Trump and others of any collusion or obstruction allegations.

Update on Mueller Madness Bracketology: And the Russia collusion delusion national championship winner is…MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, the New York Post announced:
With the imminent release of the Mueller report on alleged Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, President Donald Trump outlined what he considers the real collusion that had an impact on the 2016 election. In an interview Thursday morning with FBN’s Maria Bartiromo, the president had this to say about collusion which could lead to potential regulation of social media to prevent censorship:
In an impromptu press conference on the South Lawn of the White House yesterday on his way to Ohio, U.S. President Donald Trump responded to a question about the often controversial content on his Twitter account, which a reporter suggested was “beneath the dignity of the office.”
In comments that she quipped might constitute “professional suicide,” CBS News Foreign Correspondent, or more specifically ex-CBS News correspondent, Lara Logan told a podcaster that the media is mostly liberal, which should come as no surprise to anyone who is paying attention. It’s unusual, though, that someone employed in the mainstream media would admit to the rampant bias. According to Variety, Logan and CBS supposedly parted ways sometime last year, so maybe that has something to do with her candor. Logan did not mention that she was no longer employed by the network during the interview, however. See the video embedded below.
Despite insistence by its CEO Jack Dorsey that it is an impartial platform, a new study suggests that Twitter disproportionately suspends political conservatives or Trump supporters (which is not always the same thing). Dr. Richard Hanania, a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University, published his findings this week in Quillette.
The Media Resembles a Doomsday Cult
Whether it’s because of his outsized, boastful salesman personality, the hair, or the spray tan, the doomsday-is-nigh mainstream media has conducted an obsessive, irrational vendetta against U.S. President Donald Trump. The media treats developments in the news cycle like the end of the world, and doomsday is at hand. Then it’s on to the next controversy du jour. Let’s stipulate the president can sometimes be his own worst enemy by stepping on and/or obscuring his message and accomplishments with needless feuds and overly combative or imprecise rhetoric. Whether you like his demeanor or not, however, the Trump’s MAGA agenda — in fulfillment of campaign promises perhaps like no other president — is all about making America stronger, safer, and more prosperous.

Asking for a friend: Does your company get together for a group cry after an election?
That’s appears to be what happened at Google’s all-hands TGIF meeting in November 2016 after Donald Trump’s win in a video just leaked to Breitbart News.
Google continues to insist there is no political bias in the way the search engine giant operates.
Breitbart described the reaction of Google’s top execs to the election results.
“These individuals, who preside over a company with unrivaled influence over the flow of information, can be seen disparaging the motivations of Trump voters and plotting ways to use their vast resources to thwart the Trump agenda.”
Kent Walker, a senior VP at Google, says that it's important for Google "to be in the arena" fighting against "populism" and "nationalism" after Trump's victory to make sure that Trump "is a blip, is a hiccup." pic.twitter.com/LHla5aezaU
