A middle school student at Immanuel Christian School in Virginia recently claimed white boys at the school held her down and cut her hair. The media wasted no time trying to pin this controversy to Karen Pence, wife of Vice President Mike Pence, because she works there as a part-time art teacher. Now we know it was a hoax.

60 Minutes reported Sunday that the whistleblower of the phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky received federal protection. The news program insisted it had a letter to prove it. Mark Zaid, the lawyer representing the whistleblower, took 60 Minutes to the woodshed on Twitter over the report.

We are in the middle of a media feeding frenzy over a supposed intelligence community whistleblower complaint on Trump's conversation last summer with the Ukrainian president.

Over the weekend, The New York Times dropped a "bombshell" on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's years at Yale University. The excerpt from an upcoming book claimed a former student witnessed Kavanaugh exposing himself and forcing a female classmate to touch his penis. Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist noticed late Sunday The Times added a correction to its piece. The publication admitted it did not mention "that the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say she does not recall the incident."

Once again, the same media types who got the 2016 election completely wrong, and failed to challenge the Obama administration for eight years, are fact-checking Trump into oblivion. Every perceived Trump mistake is treated with pettiness that borders on vindictive. They are completely unable to admit it when they're proven wrong.

Germany is heading into a recession, a report released by Chancellor Angela Merkel's office said.
