A pivotal event of note for Thursday, which marks the debut of The Washington Times Front Page podcast. The new audio feature summarizes the daily blockbusters, investigations and hard news produced each day by "Wash Times" journalists, who are vigilant 24/7 and downright relentless.
It is unusual when a major news organization becomes the subject of major news, but that is what happened to The New York Times in the wake of an essay published Sunday which was intended to reflect "the culture at Yale when Brett M. Kavanaugh, who now sits on the Supreme Court, was an undergraduate in the 1980s," the Times said. It also accused him of another sexual assault.
Those who believe the world is in imminent peril due to climate change say the news media is failing to report on this belief, and those alarmists are pushing back. The Nation and Columbia Journalism Review have banded together to found "Covering Climate Now," a new project supported by some 250 news organizations who vow to "strengthen the media's focus on the climate crisis" and produce a week's worth of stories to underscore that view.
President Trump on Monday heads to the Land of Enchantment - specifically, that would be Albuquerque, New Mexico - for yet another jumbo campaign rally percolating with keep-America-great feelings and much optimism. There is another directive at work though, and that is the conviction that Mr. Trump can flip New Mexico to the Republican way of thinking - a tall order, given that Mr. Trump's previous campaign visit to the host city sparked a near riot.
The liberal media, of course, is complicit in this impeachment fixation and fantasy, offering nonstop news coverage, deftly packaged to make impeachment appear to be a done deal. Simply deploy the notorious "I-word" - and voila. Journalists believe they can suggest Mr. Trump will leave office amid mysterious "proceedings" and strategically manipulated press narratives. Or something.
Democratic primary debate No. 3 is upon us, airing Thursday on ABC News — complete with a pivotal "podium order" for the 10 hopefuls who may or may not be ready for prime time. Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren have the coveted center-stage positions, flanked by Sens. Bernard Sanders and Kamala D. Harris on either side.
On the 18th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the nations of the world appear to be turning to personal concerns within their own borders according to a massive new Ipsos global poll.
Broadcast news has supplied non-stop negative coverage of President Trump since his campaign days. The coverage has been, on average, 90% negative according to a series of studies by the Media Research Center. There's some unexpected collateral damage, though.
Democratic presidential hopefuls continue to make the "climate crisis" the alarmist centerpiece of their campaigns, vowing to spend trillions to remedy cow flatulence and rising seas, among other things. Trouble is, things are not quite so catastrophic.
So are they actors, activists, anarchists? It doesn't much matter at this point. Plenty of West Coast famous folks have dropped F-bombs and spoken out against President Trump, his administration and Republican voters in recent days.
An emerging new narrative cautions the Democratic Party that they must win back the "working class" who fled to President Trump and his vow to make America great again. Yes, this is obvious advice for the Democratic hopefuls, now careening down the campaign trail with much bluster.
Are Democrats resigned to a Trump victory in 2020? Oh, but it's complicated, says a new University of Southern California, Los Angeles survey. Amazingly enough, 54% of all voters now say President Trump is going to win the White House race once again — that includes 40% of Democrats, 47% of independents and 74% of Republicans.
The local headline says it all: "Aggressive public affairs campaign saves 1,600 acres of historic land."
Happy Labor Day, and welcome to a pivotal political transition — plus melodrama.
Fox News prime-time host Judge Jeanine Pirro has a bodacious book arriving Monday titled, "Radicals, Resistance, and Revenge: The Left's Plot to Remake America." It will likely do just as well as her previous book, the best-selling "Liars, Leakers and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy."
Impeaching President Trump: It is the favorite dream of many Democrats, particularly House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, who is already making plans for a formal inquiry into the matter.
An event of note for anyone who might question feminine loyalty to President Trump and his administration. With the blessings of Mr. Trump's campaign, the very active Women for Trump organization will host "An Evening to Empower," described as a campaign coalition event centered on the 99th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment.
Should Democratic candidates coddle moderate voters with reasonable proposals or go for the glamorous far-left agenda and all its media furor?
Oh, beware the "R" word. Right on cue, "recession" is being bandied about by the news media and the Democratic Party ad nauseam, leading the next predictable push against President Trump and his administration. The threat of a "recession" is the new narrative meant to upset voters and undermine the president.
The deep-fried Oreos, the funnel cakes, the pork chops on a stick: The news media covers what presidential hopefuls eat on the campaign trail as much as their policy statements. Maybe more. It is a very telling moment when a candidate addresses a corn dog live on camera; to emerge unscathed is definitely part of the contemporary political skill set.
