The MSM wonders why the majority of America cannot stand them. It's probably because of the way they twist and edit President Donald Trump's words. The New York Times, The Washington Post, and others all claimed that Trump called "some unauthorized immigrants" animals during a rant. No. He referred to members of the dangerous MS-13 gang as animals.

Michelle Wolf's performance at last night's White House Correspondents' Dinner (WHCD) has created quite a stir. President Trump, for the second year in a row, held a rally rather than attend. Wolf, apparently a correspondent on the Late Show with that new guy, blasted President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, as well as making some pointed remarks about the state of today's journalism. Some of her comments, however, are seen as crossing a line, particularly points about Sanders.

Twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is lashing out again.  This time because people, "mostly in the media," keep telling her to shut up and go away.  She must also be referring to the many Democrats who have said the same thing as she keeps pointing at everyone but herself for her 2016 loss to President Trump. Her latest rant suggests that the people who said to her, "Go away, go away," are doing so only because she's a woman.

Facebook has been in the news for the last few days due to the fact that they allegedly shared user information with a company called Cambridge Analytica. There is another Facebook controversy, however, which is getting far less attention. Changes to their algorithm are starving conservative websites.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reminded the ladies on The View of the importance of the Second Amendment. Her father and neighbors used guns to protect themselves against the KKK and racists while growing up in the deep south. From The Blaze:
“I was a little girl growing up in Birmingham, Alabama, in the late fifties, early sixties,” she explained. “There was no way that Bull Connor and the Birmingham Police were going to protect you.”

The weekend, I discussed that Trump Derangement Syndrome had affected the America media so badly that it distorted its space-time continuum. It appears fewer people want to travel to #Planet Resistance, which led the #FakeNews makers purchased fake Twitter followers to promote their alternative reality.
Big media outlets have embraced Twitter as a distribution platform but still struggle with how reporters and editors use the social media service, particularly when they appear to be breaching journalism ethics.

At the end of every year, we see a flurry of predictions for the coming year.  None were as amusing as last year's apocalyptic hysteria as the left contemplated the calamities they envisioned for 2017. President Trump, they assured us, would destroy our and the global economy, "punish" journalists, quit Twitter, take over Voice of America, and of course, be impeached by year's end.

The New Yorker has cut Ryan Lizza over alleged sexual misconduct:

Earlier this week, I reviewed that cases of California politicians who were charged with sexual harassment by numerous women who work with the state Assembly and Senate in Sacramento. I must admit, I was a little surprised that some comments seemed to indicate we were facing a new millennium version of the Salem Witch Trials. Therefore, I would like to offer another analogy.
