Slate Writer: Eventually, Vatican Will Accept Same-Sex Marriage
Media coverage of Pope Francis’s Amoris Laetitia typically noted that it reaffirmed the Catholic Church’s opposition to gay marriage. Slate’s William Saletan acknowledges the literal truth of that reporting, but suggested in an April 8 article that the document contains seeds that will sprout into Vatican acceptance of same-sex unions, though he admits that process “might take centuries.”…

NBC Spreads Debunked ‘Facts’ On ‘Equal Pay Day’
NBC’s Nightly News Tuesday did itself a disservice by spreading “facts” about pay inequality that have been debunked for years. Anchor Lester Holt opened the program by trotting out the tired old “Women make seventy-nine cents for every dollar a man makes” line before delving into the report, which relies on celebrities and disenfranchised civilians repeating faulty statistics as “proof” that the…

Supergirl's Liberal Fantasy Where Mind Control Will End Global Warming
Culture
The CBS show Supergirl gave us a glimpse into a liberal dream world where there are no divisions, "Only one people, working with one purpose, towards one goal." In fact, some of the lines from the episode "Myriad" seem ripped right out of John Lennon's "Imagine." The way to this utopia? Mind control, of course. Oh, how liberals WISH they could turn us all into mindless drones!

HBO's ‘Vinyl’ Delivers Sex, Drugs, and...Abortion!
Culture
Let's be honest. There is never a shortage of topics to write about where the HBO show Vinyl is concerned. As stated previously, it is a brutally honest look at the 70's record industry. So rather than write each week about how much drug use there is or how many sex scenes we see, it makes more sense to wait until the show crosses a line that isn't white and powdery.

NBC's ‘Grimm’ Turns Traveling Preacher into the Devil Incarnate
Culture
It's a pretty common characterization that traveling preachers are nothing but snake oil salesman preying on those of lesser intelligence or, at the very least, those who are hurting. The fact that Hollywood feels the need to throw this stereotype out there on a regular basis is quite tiresome. Which brings us to this week's episode of NBC’s Grimm.
