Neal Gabler is an author and cultural critic who may be best known to NewsBusters readers as a longtime panelist on Fox News Watch. On Friday, lefty sites such as BillMoyers.com and Salon ran an article by Gabler in which he argued that for several decades, the mainstream media have greased the skids for movement conservatism and the Republican party. For example, Gabler asserted that after…

Tim Allen (as Mike Baxer) is always good for a conservative political joke on ABC's Last Man Standing. Tonight he took a jab at the failure of Obamacare. 

Friday's CBS Evening News gave a one-sided preview of a euthanasia segment on an upcoming episode of 60 Minutes. The nearly two-minute long segment from Dr. Jon LaPook featured two of the most prominent supporters of euthanasia proponent Brittany Maynard — her husband, Dan Diaz, and the doctor who prescribed the lethal drugs she used to kill herself in November 2014. Scott Pelley noted that Dr.…

It's fair to say that most of us would probably want one last sexual encounter if we knew the world was ending. Kind of sad, really, that we as a species have placed such a high priority on sex. Regardless, it is apparent that NBC's You, Me and the Apocalypse feels as though humanity would simply devolve into one giant orgy if the planet's demise were imminent – even among those who have taken a…

It’s not every day that you see a topic like Christian persecution covered by the network news. But CBS This Morning deserves credit for being the only network to actually do a thorough report on the troubling topic, Thursday. Foreign correspondent Seth Doane noted the horrific state of China’s “religious freedom,” from thousands of burned crosses to demolished churches and Christians arrested,…

Call it Harry Potter & the Goblet of Grievance.  J.K. Rowling has run afoul of the Indian indignation industry. According to Huffington Post, the author is in heap-big trouble for not being sufficiently sensitive to the diversity within the “Native American wizarding community.” 

You know the look you get from your liberal friends when you mention slippery slopes? Well, get prepared to see a lot of those if you discuss this week's episode of Broad City, “Game Over.” Let's start by saying this show is rude and crude times ten and not recommended for human consumption. So don't feel like you need to watch to see just how bad it is. Trust us, it's that bad. On top of being…

There is no doubt that Fox’s drama Lucifer is meant to engender sympathy for the devil. After 7 episodes, we have become familiar with the charming, handsome devil who fights crime and helps the LAPD catch killers. Lucifer is shown to be pretty harmless; his main powers seem to be scaring people by making his face look devilish and getting people to reveal their deepest desires. Big deal. Hardly…

While remembering the legacy of Nancy Reagan on Monday, all three network morning shows made sure to highlight an issue in which she broke with much of the Republican Party – embryonic stem cell research. On NBC’s Today, Peter Alexander touted: “With Alzheimer's Disease robbing her husband's memory, Mrs. Reagan was again cast into a supporting role, with a new cause, a champion of stem cell…

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD — Senator Marco Rubio (Fl.) brought the boisterous crowd at the 2016 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) to their feet early Saturday afternoon and tangled with CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash as she spent large portion of the question and answer session harping on Donald Trump and the campaign’s rhetoric.

The sophomore TV Land show Younger, about a 40-year-old divorcée who pretends to be 26 to get a job in the New York publishing industry, shocked viewers with a scene of bestiality this week. Real mature.

Radical feminists turned against the liberal New York Times, after the above-the-fold picture on the front page of Thursday's edition featured three pro-life women. The trio were picketing in front of the Supreme Court on Wednesday. One held a sign which read, "I Am A Prolife Feminist." Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards posted on Twitter, "@NYTimes forgot to take photos of the 3k folks…

According to an article posted on the NBC News website by Luke Russert, nine GOP members of the U.S. House of Representatives created a controversy by voting against naming a post office in Winston-Salem, N.C., after “award-winning poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou.” Russert stated: On days when House members don't have much to do, “the body names post offices. Usually these are fairly…

The Washington Post goofed in a caption for a picture accompanying Sarah Kaplan's Wednesday article. Kaplan spotlighted the people who waited for hours in cold and wet conditions outside the Supreme Court in order to witness the oral arguments in the latest abortion case. The journalist correctly reported that Aimee Murphy of Life Matters Journal is a "'pro-life feminist,' a label she proudly…
