Journalistic integrity took another Monday afternoon on MSNBC, with another casualty in the liberal plot to paint President Trump as a closet neo-Nazi Klansman. Piling in on the liberal media frenzy following Saturday’s sad events at Charlottesville, MSNBC’s Chris Jansing anchored a segment with Trump critic Mark Potok, formerly of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Now Editor-in-Chief of the SPLC’s Hatewatch Blog, Mr. Potok is a mainstay within the liberal propaganda machine. But after witnessing the softball interview with MSNBC’s Chris Jansing, you’ll realize she seems to be as well. MSNBC’s Jansing Lets Lefty Potok Loose; Says Trump Is ‘An...

The Southern Poverty Law Center has released its annual report on "The Year in Hate and Extremism," in which the organization estimates the size of the "extremist" threat. Since its count of hate groups has dropped since last year—the number went down from 1,018 to 1,007—the center is hyping a 7 percent increase in another category: what it calls "conspiracy-minded antigovernment 'Patriot' groups."

If this is the new civil rights, Martin Luther King, Jr. must be turning...

Mark Twain said, "A lie can travel halfway round the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." It's astonishing how the North American press has been stampeded into a feeding frenzy by mostly one-sided stories charging that an army of racist, anti-immigrant, animal-loving vegetarians is about to take over the venerable Sierra Club.
