Education Next, the Fordham Institute, and Common Core

Another Day; Another Fake News Confirmation
President Trump has destroyed the credibility of the American left-wing ‘news’ cartel, and today we have yet another confirmation that it is nothing more than Fake News. The ‘Honorable’ Representative Maxine Waters in a psychotic tirade called on Democrats to publicly harass members of the Trump administration. Maxine Waters calls for attacks on Trump […]

How to Ignore the News
Reading Time: 2 minutes“Will Trump survive this?” A friend of mine texted me yesterday. I had no idea what the “this” was. Later, I learned. Turns out, like most of the media’s breathless revelations about Trump’s supposed crimes, the story that people reacted to meant little. The anti-Trump media exploded with fake news, fake interpretations of real news, […]

State Run Media sad because they are treated like State Run Media
Apparently the media doesn’t like it when their message is tightly controlled by outside forces…….except when they are totally cool with it.
Reporters covering the House Democrats’ retreat in Philadelphia this week are having a much different experience than when they’re on their home turf on Capitol Hill. Reporters are being escorted to and from the restroom and lobby and are being barred from entering the hotel outside of scheduled events, even if they’ve been invited by a member of Congress. During Vice President Joe Biden’s remarks at the retreat Friday, reporters were required to have a staff member, usually a junior member of the press team, escort them when going to the bathroom or to the lobby. The filing center for reporters was at a separate hotel from where the retreat was taking place, so access was limited to members of Congress specifically made available to the press
……………..
Peters said he was told by a staffer they were being escorted to prevent them from talking to members of Congress.
Basically we had Congress slamming their iron fist as to what information reporters were going to get from the Democrat Representatives……sort of like what the media does with the general public.
