The default image of America rules out dark skin and prayers to Allah, says Leonard Pitts Jr.

If Fox News is an ideological silo, the streaming service Fox Nation is a super-silo aimed at indoctrinating a new generation.

In his TV persona, Carlson has become a surrogate for President Trump and a smirking face of privilege in his denigration of immigrants and others.

As our politics move from crazy to crazy and fevered with the battle over the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh totally on and midterms just around the corner, it is fascinating to watch the Trump propaganda machine gear up. Enter stage right: Sean Hannity and Boris Epshteyn.

Racism is a persistent part of America’s history. Like a cancer that spreads throughout the body, hatred of one group metastasizes, generalizes, spreads through the body politic; the person who loathes African Americans soon despises Hispanics, LGBTQs and religious minorities.

Donald Trump isn't commanding free media the way he once did.

Many from right and left have commented on Fox News' errors of omission and commission.

Two "Bottom Line with Boris" segments by former Trump aide Boris Epshteyn approach the line between commentary and propaganda and blow right past it.

Fox News at night is like state-run TV under an authoritarian regime. The Trump propaganda is relentless.

How low can some people go in their defense of the NRA? Pretty low, evidently. It seems that attacking kids in high school is not below their standards.

Cal Thomas: The Parkland, Fla., teen upset by criticism from a Fox talk show host is "cowardly" and "immature."

With thousands of protesting students in the background, Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh appeared on MSNBC during the March For Our Lives rally in Washington to call on Congress to listen to the voices of young people.

You have to wonder when the unforced messaging errors at City Hall are going to stop.

Mayor Pugh defended her city admirably despite outrageous distortions by Fox's Laura Ingraham.

I would like to be a hometown booster and say Pugh really gave it to one of the nastier right-wing commentators on American TV. But the truth is the mayor desperately needs better media advice. It was not a good look for the mayor or Baltimore.

Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh announced this week that she wants to bus thousands of students to Washington this month to take part in a gun control rally after 17 people were killed at a Florida high school. Here's what we know about the plan.

Fox might be the most prominent platform to have become more politically emboldened since the election of President Donald Trump, but it is only one of several that have taken a more partisan turn or made clear their intentions of serving the president’s goals in 2017.

What's both funny and sad is that there is remarkably little intellectual or ideological substance to the current populist fever, says Jonah Goldberg.

The GOP needs to learn that acknowledging racial disparities is not 'playing the race card'

Dr. Ben Carson's calls for controversial policy changes, with President Barack Obama two seats away, has some calling for him to run for office and others demanding his apology.
