Variety Shows True Colors With Take on Daily Wire’s Disney Challenge
August publication can’t hide its disdain for conservative site’s culture war attack. You don’t need a background in media bias to spot it today. You won’t find a better example than Variety’s report on The Daily Wire’s new entertainment plans.
Hollywood Face-Slaps Conservatives
Goodness! What a night. During the live broadcast of the Academy Awards, actor Will Smith walked up to the stage and face-slapped comedian Chris Rock. When Smith returned to his seat, he unleashed a profanity-laced tirade -- muted by the show’s producer -- at Rock. What did Rock do to warrant the attack? He told a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. “Jada, I love ya,” Rock said. “‘G.I…
A Potent Midterm Strategy: Walk Forward Better
It’s an old Washington political trick. When you’re in trouble, change the subject. When President Biden’s poll numbers are low and falling, when the economy has produced the worst inflation in four decades and gas prices in some states have reached record highs, when he claims we should expect food shortages and produces gaffes instead of gas and then refuses to walk them back, even after…
The Media's Hunter Biden Embarrassment Continues
Last week in this space, the late arrival of the New York Times to the Hunter Biden “laptop-from-hell” was noted – along with the damage to the “paper-of-record’s” credibility. Now the embarrassment has spread, as it should.
TDS: Gaffigan, Stern Blame Smith’s Oscar Slap on…Trump
Hard-left comics stretch, and strain, to make events fit their warped world view. Suffice to say Trump Derangement Syndrome didn’t end when The Apprentice star left the Oval Office. Late night comedians still feast on anything tied to Donald Trump, real or imagined (That helps them ignore the Biden administration’s calamitous year in office).
The Slap Heard Around the World
This week, Will Smith -- perhaps the most bankable star of his generation -- won an Oscar for Best Actor for “King Richard.” But that wasn’t why he made headlines. He made headlines because during the Academy Awards ceremony, comedian Chris Rock told a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Jada, it seems, suffers from alopecia; Rock, presumably not knowing about her condition, made a…
The Truth About Taking Refugees
Millions flee Ukraine. Where will they go? Some want to come to America. But doing that legally is hard. A complex system is supposed to determine which people deserve to get in line to get in. “The line is broken,” explains Reason Magazine editor at large Matt Welch in my new video. For example, America has a nursing shortage, but immigration authorities turn away foreign nurses.
JFK, Reagan and Biden
President Biden’s speech from Warsaw Saturday night, reminded me of two previous presidents who delivered speeches confronting the autocracy that was then the Soviet Union and is now Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, a man Biden has rightly called a war criminal. On June 26, 1963, Kennedy spoke before the Berlin Wall which the Soviets had erected to stem the flow of Berliners out of the communist…
New York Times Systemic Racism Used To Attack Jackson Critics
As NewsBusters colleague Clay Waters has noted this week, The New York Times has spent front page space playing the race card, showcasing the paper’s systemic racism. Well of course it has. As the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson proceeds, there is The Times instinctively reacting to what has been a decidedly civilized hearing with what can only be…
‘Arrested Development’ Star: No Comedian Has Been ‘Cancelled'
Far-left comic puts head in sand over woke culture's impact on comedy, the arts. The Arrested Development alum spoke on the subject with the far-left news site Vox.com. The wide-ranging chat found the interviewer and Cross sharing their disgust for partisan satire (sans irony) and how comedy evolves over time. Then the interview waded into the Cancel Culture debate. Cross, clearly…
Dealing With the Iranian Devil
When one sits down to make a deal with the devil, it is the devil who usually wins. That’s because he is “crafty,” as the book of Genesis describes him. The United States and Iran appear on the cusp of a deal that President Biden and his diplomats claim will prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon in the short term. In exchange for a deal that won’t be worth the paper it is written on,…
Joe’s Little Big Guy
Washington — At the height of the presidential race pitting Vice President Joe Biden against President Donald Trump, former New York city mayor Rudy Giuliani was given a laptop. It contained scabrous information, incriminating Hunter Biden and his father, the Democratic candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden. Giuliani promptly brought the laptop to the attention of the New York Post…
It’s Time for the Market Pushback to Begin
This week, The Walt Disney Company, which has approximately 200,000 employees spanning the globe, decided to radically reshape its politics in response to a tiny contingent of radical activists. According to The Wall Street Journal, Disney CEO Bob Chapek had steadfastly refused to embroil his company in the politics of the various states and countries where Disney did business; he correctly…
The Renewable Energy Fail
The “Greens” promise renewables, solar and wind power, will replace fossil fuels. After all, the wind and sun are free, and they don't pollute! Oops. Now countries that embraced renewables are so desperate for power that they eagerly import coal, the worst polluter of all! Do they apologize? No. Greens never apologize. Germany was a leader in renewable energy, so confident in solar and wind…
