The company that gave Rush Limbaugh his massive contract is now facing bankruptcy, and things aren't looking good for him.
iHeart Radio is nearly bankrupt. No fat contract renewal for Rush?

Under fire from left and right for dozens of softball interviews of Trump, Hannity's defense gives his entire game away.
Fox's Sean Hannity responded to criticism of his coverage of GOP front-runner Donald Trump by publishing data showing that he has dedicated more than over four hours of interviews to Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and more than 30 interviews to each on his Fox News show. Hannity also explained that his softball interviews were based on his agre

North Carolina’s tourism industry could lose out on millions due to cancelled events, several companies have canceled multimillion dollar expansion projects, and at least five federal agencies are in the process of reviewing whether to withhold funds in response to the law.
North Carolina’s Republican administration continues to defend its anti-LGBT law, House Bill 2 (HB2), but media outlets have documented the economic harm the law has done to the state, including backlash from the business community and the potential loss of federal funds.

Several journalists singled out misleading claims from Gov. Pat McCrory for criticism, including a "Myths vs Facts" sheet his press office put out that was given the lowest possible rating on one outlet's fact checking scale.
North Carolina journalists tell Media Matters that covering the state’s controversial House Bill 2, which stripped nondiscrimination protections from LGBT residents, has been especially challenging due to the amount of fearmongering and misinformation spread by the law’s proponents. In a day-long special session on March 23, North C

The media shouldn't be fooled by Pat McCrory's PR stunt.
In response to outcry over North Carolina’s unprecedented anti-LGBT law, Republican Governor Pat McCrory issued an executive order to “clarify” the law. However, the executive order affirmed the anti-LGBT portion of the law banning transgender people from using restrooms and locker rooms that do not match the gender listed on their birth cert

This is one of the biggest right-wing lies of modern times -- and it's still happening. They say that the treadmill for shrimp cost millions, but in reality it cost just $47 and was part of a study about changing ocean conditions.
Form the April 13 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom:

The Los Angeles Times blasted Utah's governor for signing an unprecedented bill that requires doctors to give forced anesthesia to women having an abortion at 20 weeks of pregnancy or later, despite the fact that it's completely medically unnecessary and poses an increased risk to women:
In late March 2016, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (R-UT) signed a bill making Utah “the first state to require doctors to give anesthesia to women having an abortion at 20 weeks of pregnancy or later.” Despite criticism that this requirement would pose an increased risk to women, a spokesperson for the governor argued that the bill was essential f

It was just days ago that a key Trump ally threatened to go to delegates' hotel rooms during the GOP convention.

This is Travis. Travis represents a hate group and is defending anti-LGBT laws in North Carolina and elsewhere. Travis did not have a fun time on TV today.

You can call the creator of the anti-Planned Parenthood smear videos a lot of things, but "journalist" is not one of them.
Despite the indictment by a grand jury and numerous lawsuits over Center for Medical Progress (CMP) founder David Daleiden’s attempts to smear Planned Parenthood, right-wing media have claimed that CMP’s deceptively edited videos are “investigative journalism.” Other media outlets have rejected this claim, confirming that CMP’s videos are

As if Trump doesn't get enough time on Fox...
Megyn Kelly met GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump at his Manhattan skyscraper, Trump Tower, Wednesday morning for a private meeting, CNN Money reported. Trump has been feuding with Fox and Kelly since she questioned Trump about his offensive remarks toward women during a Fox News GOP primary debate in August. Trump said Kelly “had blo
