The relationship between the United States and Israel is usually seen as “special” because of technical matters. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. Israel and the U.S. share vitally important intelligence and technology. But what about shared values? Shortly after America’s new ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, arrived at his post, he sat for an interview with the Christian…

During his hate session on the Alliance Defending Freedom on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, HBO’s John Oliver admitted out loud that he is confused by the concept of religious freedom. Oliver was not only clueless on the idea of “pre-political rights” but also seemed to think religious freedom means progressivism.

National Public Radio is in Rome for the just-concluded papal conclave, which elected American Robert Prevost, who will be known as Pope Leo XIV. Before the white smoke appeared, All Things Considered host Scott Detrow interviewed LGBTQ-friendly Fr. James Martin for the occasion, Detrow even led his interview with it, the online transcript bearing the title "Will the next pope…

Ladies and gentlemen, it is our solemn duty to inform you that CBS’s John Dickerson is at it again, delivering yet another pretentious editorial bloviation with which to close out CBS Evening News Plus. This Time, Dickerson was spurred to righteous action by President Donald Trump’s viral pope meme.

Ahead of next week’s papal conclave, Friday’s edition of CBS Evening News was caught in a tough situation. On one hand, being the diversity-conscious liberal show that it is, Africa correspondent Debora Patta lamented Africans are not reflected in the Vatican’s halls of power despite Catholicism growing in the area. On the other, Patta warned that an African pope would not be the pro-…

Jason Horowitz, the New York Times’ Rome bureau chief and passionate fan of the late Pope Francis (he loved to cast opponents of the late pontiff’s political proclamations into the outer darkness as “archconservatives” or “ultraconservatives”) made Wednesday’s front page off-lead slot with another story to accompany his official obituary for Pope Francis: “As Ears Closed, Pope…

Two important developments in education occurred over the last week. One was a sign of the problem we have. The other was a sign of the solution. The sign of the problem, to which hopefully the U.S. Supreme Court will provide the correct answer, falls under the headline of sex education. The court has just heard Mahmoud v. Taylor, in which families from a variety of faiths -- Muslims…

After Pope Francis died Monday morning, the New York Times started rolling out tributes to the pontiff at nytimes.com, plus a standard 7,000-word obituary by Jason Horowitz and Jim Yardley, current and former Rome bureau chiefs for the Times. Horowitz adored Francis as pontiff, and predictably hailed the left’s favorite pope as a force for “inclusion” against “doctrinaire”…

ABC’s Good Morning America made Pope Francis into one of their own — a cultural progressive — on Monday by boasting “he often clashed with conservatives” over his “compassion for the LGBTQ community” and “wave of optimism” for everyone from immigrants to the poor to even Palestinians. And, of course, they made it about themselves too.

YouTube has demonstrated a strong socially leftist animus for years. FCC Chair Brendan Carr wants to get to the bottom of it.

The Daily Show found religion on Thursday, sort of. While Comedy Central’s flagship show did not repent for claiming Jesus would approve of Transgender Visibility Day or that Christmas is “the queerest holiday of all,” it did send Desi Lydic to Michigan to meet with Episcopal priest Chris Yaw to hype his gun buyback program.

Is it news? Or is it political advertising? On Friday afternoon, CNN's Brianna Keilar promoted anti-gun activists Manuel and Patricia Oliver on the seventh anniversary of the Parkland school shooting. CNN displayed them disturbing the peace, yelling at a Biden gun-control event and at a congressional hearing.

On Thursday morning, CNN host John Berman gave no pushback as Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC) appeared as a guest to complain about the Republican proposal for tax and budget cuts, calling it "reverse Robin Hood."

First, it was Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday, then it was Stephen Colbert on Wednesday, and then finally it was NBC’s Seth Meyers on Thursday to round out the late night comedy shows’ staggered reaction to Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde’s woke plea to President Donald Trump. Unlike the other two, Meyers played a much shorter clip of Budde’s talk on Late Night that removed the context for why…
