Newsweek reports: The American right frequently delights in its mockery of CNN, dutifully following in the footsteps of President Trump, who spent much of the last week maligning the cable news network. Sometimes, however, that glee can seem misplaced. Lucian B. Wintrich, the White House correspondent for right-wing news site Gateway Pundit, decided to express his disdain for the network’s …

Politico reports: The right-wing website Gateway Pundit was denied a congressional press pass from the Senate Periodical Press Executive Committee on Tuesday, and now plans to appeal the decision to Speaker Paul Ryan. The committee upheld its previous denial of Gateway Pundit’s application for a press pass, which gives the holder access to certain areas of the Capitol otherwise sealed …

The New Yorker has published a lengthy profile of Jim Hoft and Lucian Wintrich, the homocon bloggers at Gateway Pundit seen above making a white supremacist hand signal in the White House briefing room. The piece ponders whether the Trump administration granted credentials to Gateway Pundit merely to troll the real journalists. An excerpt: Over dinner at a nearby steakhouse, …

Politico reports: A Fox News Radio correspondent confronted in the White House briefing room the White House reporter for a website that traffics in conspiracy theories, witnesses said on Friday.

The Hill reports: President Trump on Friday attacked Democratic calls for a probe into his contacts with Russia, tweeting a photo of Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The 2003 photo shows Schumer and Putin eating doughnuts in 2003 during Putin’s trip to New York to attend the opening of a Russian gas company’s station. …

Right wing commentator Erick Erickson writes: I think the White House does the American people a great disservice by inviting Gateway Pundit in to the press briefings. I’m not sure there is a greater purveyor of fake news on the left or right than that site. Inviting in a known purveyor of fake news gives that purveyor a credibility that …

From the website of homocon Jim Hoft, also widely-known as the Stupidest Man On The Internet: The pollsters say those states are a toss-up. But they’re wrong. Here’s why: Pollsters are wrong on the percentage of white voters relative to other voting groups. Pollsters are ignoring the increased Republican turnout this year. Pollsters are underestimating the numbers of Democrats voting …

Via Raw Story: Fox News commentator Sean Hannity has been engaging in false information sharing as of recently, but on Tuesday he apologized after spreading a fake rumor on his radio show about the Obamas and Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Specifically, Hannity referenced a Gateway Pundit post titled “Rats Jump Ship=> Michelle Obama Scrubs Hillary Clinton from Twitter History” which alleged …

Sean Hannity agrees with the Stupidest Man On The Internet™. He writes: As we’ve seen recently with Reuters, presidential polls cannot always be trusted. So for anyone who’s been disheartened by the post-convention bump for Hillary Clinton, the Gateway Pundit has some uplifting numbers for you. The website reports that analysis from the two candidates’ social media accounts could mean …

The lead article on Breitbart this morning quotes the homocon site Gateway Pundit, which has declared that Donald Trump will win in a landslide. Gateway Pundit author Jim Hoft, widely known as “the stupidest man on the internet” discounts polls and historical electoral trends in favor of the number of social media followers and viewers of campaign rally live-streams. According …

Last month I reported that a Trump supporter named Michael Strickland had been arrested after brandishing a gun at Black Lives Matter protesters in Portland, Oregon. Yesterday a grand jury returned a 21-count indictment against Strickland, including ten felony counts. Oregon Live reports: Each unlawful use of a weapon charge accuses Strickland of attempting to use, and possessing with intent to …

Earlier today extremist blogger Jim Hoft, widely known in the progressive blogosphere as “the dumbest man on the internet,” came out in a Breitbart column in which he urged gays to “come home to the Republican party.” This afternoon Hoft gleefully reported the “breaking” news that a group called Phoenix LGBT has endorsed Donald Trump. As evidence of this endorsement …

Gateway Pundit blogger Jim Hoft, widely known as “the dumbest man on the internet,” comes out today in the wake of the Orlando massacre. He writes at Breitbart: I came out in the 1980s to family and friends during the AIDS epidemic. I saw a lot of friends get sick. I saw a lot of friends die. I went to …

Teabagger blogger Jim Hoft even gets the killer’s name wrong in the headline. Last month Hoft received the Breitbart Award For Excellence In Online Journalism. Seriously. (Hit the link for another laugh.)

The above Twitter account is by teabagger Jim Hoft, the douchebag who published a photoshopped x-ray with a claim that it showed the “fractured orbital socket” suffered by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. Hoft, not incidentally, is the target of the best Google-bomb since Santorum.

Back in August, demented St. Louis-based teabagger Jim Hoft published repeated claims that “inside sources” had informed him that Darren Wilson had suffered a grievous “fractured orbital socket” during a “severe beating” by Michael Brown. Holf’s claims rocketed around Teabagistan even though some of his own readers quickly figured out that the X-ray Hoft had posted was actually lifted out …
