Quote of the Day:

“The media loves nothing more than they love themselves.”

— Derek Hunter, contributing editor, The Daily Caller, columnist, Townhall.com.

The Observer: MSNBC hates Trump….period 

“MSNBC’s idea of a robust discussion: a liberal who hates Trump, a writer who hasn’t had any contact with Trump in 20+ years and who hates Trump, balanced out by a conservative who… hates Trump!” — Eddie Scarry, media writer, The Washington Examiner.

Ivanka’s really boring ass day ahead

Tune in to @SqawkBox at 7:30am EST today live from the @WhiteHouse. I will discussing today’s launch of the National Council for the American Worker to promote economic growth and job creation through skills training, vocational education + apprenticeships! #WorkforceDevelopment.”

Montel’s flack calls me a ‘bitch’ on Twitter  

Jonathan Franks, Montel Williams’ flack, has since deleted his mean tweets in which he called me a “bitch” and mocked The Daily Caller.

Mirror confession: I probably brought it on, telling him he was being too nice and that I worried something had happened to his demented brain. 

Uh oh. Did someone get in trouble with the boss?

Reporter thought eating an oyster might kill her  

She calls it the “worst moment” of her entire life. 

“It was at a fancy place… but it was literally like someone grabbed my face and hawked a loogie in my mouth. I thought I was actually going to die.” — Gateway Pundit‘s Cassandra Fairbanks.

OMG: BuzzFeed News officially cuts ties with its inner LOL

They’ll still redirect to each other, but it’s, like, totally different. The new BuzzFeed News now reads “BuzzFeed.News: Reporting to you” with part of the N stylishly blank. Not to worry too much, original BuzzFeed devotees, there’s still a trending box that reminds a reader who BuzzFeed really is: “Here’s what desert you should treat yourself to, based on your zodiac sign.” There are also stories that are still very BuzzFeed-y. Such as “Here’s what makes the eighth grade so good” and the story of some woman being impaled by an umbrella on the Jersey Shore.

See Neiman Lab‘s story on it here.

What happens when women go to the office kitchen  

“I love when I’m in the cramped office kitchen with another women because the conversation always goes: ‘sorry’ ‘excuse me’ ‘sorry’ ‘sorry’ ‘sorry’ ‘sorry'” — Eve Peyser, VICE.

CNN: GOP Lawmaker longed for day when you could call a woman a ‘slut’ 

Rep. Jason Lewis (R-Minn.) in 2012: “…But it used to be that women were held to a little bit of a higher standard. We required modesty from women. Now, are we beyond those days where a woman can behave as a slut, but you can’t call her a slut?”

Longtime reporter is in shock over Trump-Putin meeting 

“Of all the bad things I thought might come up when Trump met Putin alone for 2+ hrs, I’d never have imagined he’d consider the ex-KGB thug’s request to turn over a former US ambassador to Russia for interrogation. Russia has harassed Mike @McFaul ⁦‪& his family for years.” — Jackie Calmes, LA TIMES, DC bureau.

Allure needs a features editor

“Hey all! We’re hiring a features editor at Allure—someone who’s a strong top editor and writer, has beauty experience & has a keen eye for culture. I want someone who understands products and science but who also sees the deeper cultural roots and meaning behind appearance.” — Michelle Lee, EIC, Allure.

Confessional. Strategist is petrified 

“MY DEEPER FEAR. Maybe this is because I grew up in a war and don’t take rights for granted, maybe it’s because the signs are pointing to it, but I fully expect Trump and the GOP to eventually curtail our ability to speak out freely as we do here. Do you agree?” — Peter Daou, political strategist who has advised Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.

Being nice will get you nowhere

“Today’s Leftist lesson on Twitter: write a nice tweet about someone with whom you disagree politically, get labeled a racist sexist homophobe. Good stuff, guys. Really showing that tolerant streak.” — Ben Shapiro, EIC, Daily Wire.

Ex-Politico reporter Mike Elk is upset with BuzzFeed UK

“Awful,” Elk remarked on BuzzFeed UK rejecting the chance the unionize.

Journo says goodbye to cigarettes 

“First week done. So long, cigarettes.” — Bryan Menegus, senior writer, Gizmodo.

Selfie Alert: Editor reveals his chest hair 

Kevin Baron works for Defense One. 

Of course these two are friends

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
