Sharyl Attkisson unloaded today on Media Buzz on the agenda driven media and their disconnect with average Americans. Once again Sharyl Attkisson displays why she is the most respected and unbiased journalist in America today. Howard Kurtz: So it’s almost like the left and the right are uniting against Trump and yet he’s still way ahead in the polls. Sharyl Attkisson: So if there was any doubt about the disconnect that some people when they watch the news feel when they see the reality on the ground not portrayed really by anybody in the mainstream that they’re watching they know...

One of Florida’s biggest conservative Republican moneymen — and a billionaire backer of Jeb Bush — is so disgusted by Donald Trump’s candidacy that if he has to, he’ll do the unthinkable: “If I have a choice — and you can put it in bold — if I have a choice between Trump and Hillary Clinton, I’m choosing Hillary,” Miami healthcare magnate Mike Fernandez told the Miami Herald on Friday. “She’s the lesser of two evils.” Outraged by Trump’s unimpeded ascent, Fernandez is taking on the GOP frontrunner himself.

It should be clear by now to anybody paying attention that Donald Trump long ago determined that the traditional concepts of "true" and "false" have no relevance when he decides what words to let fly from his mouth. Even for Trump, though, the last few weeks have presented a stunning parade of howlers, fibs, falsehoods and fabrications - also known as lies. The thing about Trump is that he's so blase about lying, and does it so frequently, that people tend to forget how many made-up facts they've heard from him. Sometimes, it's instructive to make a list of his...

The F-word: CNN's MJ Lee has a useful round-up of Republicans who are deciding to unite around the "fascist" label.
