12 Fake News Stories from the Mainstream Media
With all of the politically-charged talk about banning “fake news” sites, it seems appropriate to review some of the worst fake news stories pushed by mainstream media outlets. No matter how large your family gathering is this Thanksgiving, you won’t be chowing down on a turkey as big as these phony stories from A-list television shows and publications.

During the presidential campaign, President-elect Donald Trump pledged to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton, would join crowds of his supporters in chants of "lock her up!" and said to her face during a debate that if he were president, "you'd be in jail." But now that he actually will be president, Trump says he won't recommend prosecution of Clinton, who he told New York Times reporters has "suffered greatly."

CNN Admits Most Americans Think Trump Will 'Do a Fairly or Very Good Job'
Even as network anchor Brian Stelter blames Donald Trump's election on conservative outlets that allegedly pushed so-called “fake news” during the campaign (including taking aim at MRCTV's sister outlet, Newsbusters), CNN begrudgingly admitted Tuesday that according to its own poll, most Americans actually think Trump will do a pretty good job as president – even compared with the confidence Americans had in CNN’s own executive darling, Barack Obama, back in 2008.

MARK LEVIN: POPULISM, NATIONALISM, AND AMERICANISM
The phrase "new nationalism" was actually coined by Theodore Roosevelt in a speech he gave in Kansas on Sept. 1, 1910. In that speech, Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican, later to become a Progressive Party candidate, in essence denounced the Declaration of Independence, and embraced the new nationalism.

The Irony Everyone’s Missing in the Hamilton-Pence Controversy
Trump isn’t Hitler. He’s Hamilton, advocating the kind of centralist government Hamilton spoke about in secret at the Constitutional Convention and attempted to achieve surreptitiously throughout the rest of his political life by eroding the same limits on federal government power he had trumpeted to sell the Constitution in the Federalist Papers. Trump wants to be Hamilton’s elected king, running a crony-capitalist, mercantilist economy just as Hamilton envisioned. Even Trump’s campaign slogan was Hamiltonian. Hamilton’s stated political goal was “national greatness.” I kid you not.
Ayn Rand on Fascism
In a letter written on March 19, 1944, Ayn Rand remarked: “Fascism, Nazism, Communism and Socialism are only superficial variations of the same monstrous theme—collectivism.” Rand knew better than to accept the traditional left-right dichotomy. It has always been about the individual vs. the state.

CALVINIST ENVIRONMENTALISM?
With Inherit the Holy Mountain: Religion and the Rise of American Environmentalism, Mark Stoll chronicles how conservationism and its green progeny arose from Calvinism. “When Emerson advised the solitary individual to seek mystical union with the Divine in the woods,” writes Stoll, “he simply restated long-standing Calvinist advice.” With today’s environmentalist standard-bearers hailing from Hollywood and the political left, it is tempting to see the environmental movement as a Trojan Horse for liberalism, pantheism, and all manner of threats to orthodoxy. But we should not forget Jonathan Edwards and other Calvinists’ contributions to conservationism.
Trying to get beyond the reductive headlines, Peter Leithart grapples with the actual content of Steve Bannon’s worldview: “Bannon doesn't reckon with the potential evils of nationalist movements. If capitalism becomes corrosive when detached from Judeo-Christian moorings, so does secular nationalism, which easily slips into a substitute religion, sometimes an aggressively violent one.”
