Fake News Kidsploitation Turning Into Incitement to Violence
Daniel Greenfield
The left cares about children. If you doubt that, look at the actual mutli-generational concentration camps in North Korea, Che’s murder of children or the Soviet Union’s execution of displaced children. The current wave of fake news kidsploitation is mobilizing outrage for political purposes. Those purposes are neither obscure nor subtle. But beyond positioning for…

Crying Rachel Maddow and the Media’s Kidsploitation
Daniel Greenfield
Rachel Maddow giving the worst teary performance since Sally Fields is bad news for the media. When Rachel Maddow jumps on something with both feet, you know it’s about over. So does the media. It threw everything it had at the “family separation” fake news betting that Republicans would break. And plenty of Republicans did.…

“I Hate White People” Woman Says, Then Attacks White People
Daniel Greenfield
The left says that certain kinds of bigotry are okay. Racism isn’t always wrong. There’s hate that punches up and hate that punches down. Punching up is the essence of intersectionality. Like this latest hate crime. A black woman declared her disdain for “white people” before pummeling two white passengers on board a moving Ride…

Why Are Univision and Henry Louis Gates Getting Away With Running a Racist Site?
Daniel Greenfield
“A a resident of Cobb County, Ga., recently surpassed the record held by Roseanne Barr and Rachel Dolezal on the Becky-ometer, a scientific tool used to measure the caucasity of white women.” So reads a typical post on The Root. Similar derogatory racial references about white people abound on the site. The Root is owned…

US Dumps UN Human Rights Council
Daniel Greenfield
Even more than the rest of the UN, the Human Rights Council always seemed like a garish joke. Take the world’s worst human rights abusers, put them on a body with human rights in the name, and then make sure that it ignores every horrifying atrocity in the headlines while focusing on Israel. It’s just…

“Liberalism is an Illiberal View, Whereas the Enemies of Liberalism are Actually its Best Friends”
Daniel Greenfield
Thank you to @bullfrog35 for calling my attention to the near conclusion of this Gadi Taub piece. The specific context is the willingness of the media to believe Hamas over Israel. But its relevance also transcends that. Anti-Semitism always stirs from its slumber within a specific context, so we need to ask about that, too.…

Do the Dems Have a Structural Anti-Semitism Problem?
Daniel Greenfield
It’s obvious why no one on the left wants to talk about Farrakhan. When your core allies in the black community are black nationalists who are Farrakhan fans, that’s a conversation that can’t be had. That’s why the Obama-Farrakhan photo got less coverage than a dog whose ear, CNN claimed, looked like Trump. It’s why…

Bankrupt State to Spend $200 Mil on Obama Center
Daniel Greenfield
What better way could there be to celebrate Obama’s legacy than bankrupting a bankrupt state for the greater glory of Barry? Illinois now has the worst credit rating in the municipal bond market. Moody’s Investment Services pegs Illinois’ debt at Baa3, and it could further downgrade that credit rating later in 2018. The State of…

Progressive TV Series a Horrible Place to Work
Daniel Greenfield
Rule 9 of the left (yes, these are all getting collected) is that the most progressive the workplace, the worse it is working there. There’s plenty of evidence of that from Michael Moore and Ralph Nader who treated their employees like 19th century sweatshop owners. But it still holds true even in the big rewarding…

Fact-Checking Is Now Just Clickbait Garbage
Daniel Greenfield
And no, we’re not talking about Snopes. Though it’s fact checking spam has become notorious. Instead this is the end result of the media’s hysteria about “fake news”, the pressure on Facebook and Google to embed fact checkers, and the subsequent swarm of clickbait fact checks. This story itself doesn’t matter. It’s just symptomatic of…
