Blogger: Obama Has Done More For Blue-Collar GOPers Than GOP Has
These days, one of the biggest meta-debates in politics concerns apportioning blame for the staying power of the Donald Trump circus. How much of Trump’s popularity is attributable to, say, the mainstream media? To conservative talk radio? In a Sunday post, The Washington Monthly’s Martin Longman pointed the finger at Republicans and absolved President Obama.
Apropos of Trump’s economically…

ABC’s Ignorance of the Republican Party Exposed in Drama ‘The Family’
Culture
I’ve been wary of how ABC’s new suspense drama The Family would play politics from the beginning. The main character Claire Warren (Joan Allen), whose son has mysteriously reappeared after being missing and thought dead for 10 years, is a Republican running for governor in a campaign run by her daughter, Willa. It took until the third episode, “Of Puppies and Monsters,” for them to finally start…

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.

Priest and Nun Visit Sex Cult, Marry on ‘You, Me, and the Apocalypse’
Culture
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…

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.

On ‘Lucifer’ Angels are Evil and the Devil is a Saint
Culture
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…
