Leguizamo: Univision 'Insidious' For Non-Hostile Trump Interview
Actor, alleged comedian, and massive narcissist John Leguizamo stopped by CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday to hype his MSNBC miniseries about “Latinx lenses all across America.” Before that, however, Leguizamo blasted Univision for not bashing Donald Trump all the time and that, as a result, he trumpeted that he will no longer be appearing on the network.

Thanks to One Dissenter, the Mask Drops at NPR
Without a doubt, many readers here at NewsBusters were mega-dittos fans of the late, great Rush Limbaugh. In today’s media world perhaps you listen to conservative talk radio hosts Sean Hannity or Rush’s successors Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, or Glenn Beck or Jesse Kelly. Or, indeed someone else, perhaps a local conservative host in your area.

OJ Simpson Is Dead — Ron and Nicole Are Unavailable for Comment

Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin traveled to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday to promote her new book, which is part history, part memoir about her and her late husband’s experiences in the 1960s.

Actor and alleged comedian John Leguizamo joined Tuesday’s edition of The Daily Show on Comedy Central to have a calm and rational, adult-like reaction to polling that shows Donald Trump leading among Latinos.

New Bravo Show: Being Called a Republican in LA is a ‘Death Sentence'
“You better be on the (down low) if you're a Republican (in LA) because you're not getting invited to anything.” That was the message from Bravo’s new reality show The Valley- a spinoff of Vanderpump Rules (home of the infamous “Scandoval” cheating drama that swept the nation several months ago), just three episodes into its season premiere.

Race-Baiting Comedy Returns, Promotes More Anti-White Racism
The last of Anthony Anderson’s -ish franchises, grown-ish, has returned to finish out its sixth and final season, and they’re making sure to go out with an anti-white, racist bang. Not surprising, considering their long, ugly history of hatred towards white people which can be found in every -ish show ever made.

Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Thomas Sowell: Two Incredible Minds
Two men with decidedly different political outlooks have been my go-to sources on race in America. They are Dr. Thomas Sowell of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr., professor and director of the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University. Dr. Gates has just published his latest book, “The Black Box.” The title is a…

PolitiFact Slaps 'False' Rating On Babylon Bee Joke About Buttigieg
The professional fact-checking industry has run into problems with The Babylon Bee before and some have responded better than others. Some outlets, like Snopes and USA Today, have a “satire” label. For PolitiFact, on the other hand, a satirical joke about Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is no laughing matter as it rated a Wednesday…

Reid Accuses Thomas Of Selling Out For 'A Fabulous Lifestyle'
On Monday, MSNBC’s Joy Reid claimed that her objection to NBC hiring former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel was not because she was a Republican and that she has no problem welcoming them to her show. The rest of the week discredited that notion, and Friday’s edition of The ReidOut was just the latest example of Reid living in her bubble as she suggested Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas…
