Sex Permeates Netflix’s ‘Hollywood,’ Overwhelm Its Equality Messaging

To many the word Hollywood evokes glamour and dreams of stardom. Perhaps no time in history was that more true than the late 1940s. But the city that birthed silent movies and talkies also had a seedy underbelly. Prostitution rings. Abusive agents, casting directors and motion picture moguls. Mob rackets. Netflix’s new original, Hollywood, which debuted last Friday takes the dirtiest secrets,…

WHO Do They Think They Are? NYT Still Shills for China-Corrupted Group

Media Outlets Offer More Accuracy for Aborted 'Baby Pigs' Than Humans

Our former NewsBusters colleague Katie Yoder wrote a column for Townhall on how media outlets that ideologically resist using the term “baby” in abortion stories don’t have the same reservations now as hog farmers abort baby pigs due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Deadspin Raps NBA For Not Being Progressive Enough

The National Basketball Association is practically a wing of the Democratic Party, but it isn't progressive enough to suit Dustin Foote, Deadspin blogger. Sure, the NBA's taken a lot of ultra-progressive stands, but its insistence on punishing players for marijuana offenses, its national anthem policy and its timid reaction to communist China last fall are stains upon its otherwise glorious…

NY Times Oddly Insists DNC Should Probe Tara Reade Matter; DNC Balks

The New York Times Editorial Board strangely suggested the investigation of Tara Reade's sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden can’t be left to the media. What?
