 * 3) Fox News CEO is a little concerned about all the fake news they are creating. How concerned? Fake fake concerned
 * 4) Fox News won't fact check The Big Cheeto's claim about Obama wiretapping him, but they will "fact check" Obama's denial of it. Bonus: There wasn't any fact checking, it was someone's opinion

Bill O'Reilly
Godfather of the Spin Zone

David Bossie
former Trump Deputy Campaign Manager

Breitbart "News"

 * 1) Sessions was not technically asked if anyone in the Trump campaign talked with the Russians, only what he would do if they had. Therefore it was not perjury when he said no one had communicated with them
 * 2) Mark Levin knows what's up. It's not the possible collusion between Trump and the Russians we should we worried about, it's the fact that President Obama used his power in office to spy on Trump with a view to undermine his Presidency
 * 3) Breitbart mocks globalist WSJ for suggesting it could support Trump if only he got rid of Steve Bannon and Steve Miller

 * 11) The FBI Russia probe will also investigate the Western wing of Russia's propaganda machine, Breitbart and Infowars
 * 12) Monday's hearing "debunked" Trump's wiretapping tweets, but left his underlying claim intact: that there was surveillance of the Trump campaign; that the results were shared throughout the government - even possibly reaching the Obama White House
 * 13) Breitbart begins sharpening some very long knives

Townhall

 * 1) Watch the liberals. Listen to what they say, because their lies and their slanders are a road map to their plans for the future
 * 2) President Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize. He's only been in office a month so the odds are against him, like our president has ever been daunted by the odds
 * 3) "Nobody ever talks about the fact that [the words 'wires tapped' was in quotes [in the tweet], but that's a very important thing"]

WikiLeaks

 * 1) Wikileaks is publishing all of Donald's secrets. Wait, it's only 1000s of CIA documents? That's not the same thing? But he's the President. Damn you Obama
 * 2) There's only one common theme in the WikiLeaks and Snowden scandal: Russia always stands to gain
 * 3) Brexit backer and Trump supporter Farage stops by Ecuadorian embassy housing Wikileaks' Julian Assange. Asked by reporters what he was doing there, he replies that he doesn't remember. Not suspicious at all

Corey Lewandowski
