MRCTV Films at Chick-fil-A: Crowds In Favor of Free Speech, Against Me

August 2nd, 2012 4:58 PM
Yesterday’s “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” was huge across the country. MRCTV’s Dan Joseph and crew  traveled to several Chick-fil-A locations around the DC area to interview some of the many Americans who came to support traditional marriage and freedom of speech. “It’s a shame we can’t say what we think these days,” protested one woman. Another added, “We’re protesting, you know,  the…

CBS Evening News Ignores Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day

August 2nd, 2012 11:16 AM
On Aug. 1, CBS Evening News ignored the massive crowds that turned out that day at Chick-Fil-A restaurants around the nation in support of traditional marriage, free speech, or simply tasty fast food. ABC and NBC, by contrast, covered “Chick-Fil-AAppreciation Day” with full and surprisingly respectful reports on their evening newscasts. The August 1 episode of CBS Evening News completely…

Hypocritical CNN Downplays Gay Agenda -- When Obama Is Under Fire for

August 1st, 2012 4:05 PM
CNN, the network that encourages gay activists and promotes the gay agenda, is now trying to sweep the issue aside – when President Obama is under fire for his support of gay marriage, that is. On Thursday morning, CNN's Carol Costello suggested Rev. William Owens, a critic of Obama's support for same-sex marriage, focus on something else. "I think nearly every poll out there shows that same…

FNC's Shep Smith: 'Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day' Is 'National Day of I

August 1st, 2012 4:02 PM
On his way out to commercial break at 3:24 p.m. Eastern, Studio B host Shep Smith noted that August 1 is "National Badminton Day," and quipped "Forget National Day of Intolerance, let's just stay with badminton."

Catholic Bishop Schools Anti-Catholic NPR Host

August 1st, 2012 7:48 AM
When NPR Fresh Air host Terry Gross conducted an "I feel your pain" interview with radical-feminist Sister Pat Farrell on July 17, she promised a rebuttal from Bishop Leonard Blair of Toledo. But Gross was much tougher in that interview on July 25. She laughably said "I don't mean to speak on their behalf here," but that's exactly what she did throughout the interview. Gross said her "…

Media Crusade Against Chick-Fil-A Continues

July 31st, 2012 4:39 PM
The manufactured controversy over Chick-Fil-A won’t be dying down anytime soon, if media figures get their way. Chick-Fil-A President Dan Cathy stated that he was “guilty as charged” when it came to supporting the traditional family, and commented on a radio show that “I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say: You know, ‘We know better than…

Donohue Column: Sorry, NY Times, Being Pro-Traditional Marriage Is Not

July 31st, 2012 3:11 PM
Dan Cathy, president of Chick-fil-A, has said that we are “inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.’” How this unremarkable statement, which never mentions homosexuals, can be labeled anti-gay is astounding. But according to the editorial board of the New York Times, it can be. After quoting Cathy,…

July 30th, 2012 3:01 PM
San Francisco media outlet SFist has adopted the language of the Westboro Baptist Church to bash Chick-fil-A, referencing the death of Chick-fil-A spokesman Donald Perry with the question “God Hates Flacks?” A July 27 article about the death of Chick-fil-A PR Vice President Donald Perry was titled “God Hates Flacks? Chick-fil-A Spokesman Dies of Heart Attack.” The headline references the…

Sorkin's 'Newsroom' Attacks Women, Gay Republicans

July 30th, 2012 12:05 PM
Last night's episode of Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom was hilariously titled, "Bullies." Unfortunately for HBO, the humor was due to the program's seemingly endless hypocrisy and not because there was anything remotely funny in the dialogue of the episode itself. Lauded as a ground-breaking show by much of the liberal media, The Newsroom really jumped the shark this week by trying to paint…

Howard Kurtz Scolds NYT for Not Mentioning Sooner in Obituary That Sal

July 29th, 2012 3:30 PM
Astronaut Sally Ride kept her sexual orientation secret right up to the moment she died. Yet CNN's Howard Kurtz on Reliable Sources Sunday actually scolded the New York Times for withholding this fact until the 38th paragraph in its obituary for Ride (video follows with transcript and commentary):

MSNBC's Bible: Thomas Roberts Tags Liberal Chick-Fil-A Eaters With 'Ch

July 29th, 2012 3:18 PM
MSNBC is your network for badly fractured Bible analogies. Jeff Poor of the Daily Caller revealed that on Friday morning, Roberts cracked up MSNBC weekend host Melissa Harris-Perry by telling anyone for "marriage equality" who eats at Chick-fil-A on August 1 -- when the conservatives turn out in support -- is a "chicken-eating Judas." So in the Roberts analogy, Jesus is Barney Frank, and the…

After Obama Goo, CBS's Charlie Rose Pounds Eric Cantor With Questions

July 29th, 2012 9:24 AM
When CBS This Morning co-host interviewed the Obamas earlier this month, Matthew Balan revealed it was mostly personal goo and political softballs. So it was more than a bit shocking on Friday morning when Rose interviewed House majority leader Eric Cantor and whacked him with four questions hammering him about the "intolerance" of the Republican Party -- like the networks do every four years…

Sports Media Launches Olympic-Sized Blitz from Left

July 26th, 2012 11:57 AM
The Olympic Games, which begin this week, is an exhibition of the sportsmanship, teamwork, and the competitive spirit that make sports so enjoyable. But for many in the media, sports is just another excuse to engage in divisive political commentary. The sports media transform an apolitical past-time into a forum for their own politics. Progressives have actively attempted to remake the…
