MSNBC: Jeb's Defense of Religious Freedom Is 'Troubling'
May 18th, 2015 6:07 PM
To MSNBC's Emma Margolin, it's "troubling" that former Florida governor Jeb Bush doesn't think there's a constitutional right for persons to enter into a same-sex marriage.

Chris Hayes Takes Lord's Name In Vain, MSNBC Fails to Bleep
May 15th, 2015 1:19 PM
As we all know, MSNBC is painstakingly conscientious to avoid showing any depiction of Islam's Prophet Muhammad, out of a profession of cultural sensitivity and a desire to avoid needless offense to practicing Muslims. But when it comes to Christians who would object to taking the Lord's name in vain, well, that's a different story apparently. Witness the May 14 -- Ascension Day nonetheless! --…

May 13th, 2015 2:44 PM
On Wednesday's New Day, CNN's Alisyn Camerota acted more like a LGBT activist than a journalist as she interviewed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

May 10th, 2015 3:40 PM
NBC's Saturday Night Live awkwardly made fun of things you just cannot depict at risk of death. In a TV game show called Picture Perfect -- that looked a little like Pictionary and a little like NBC's own Hollywood Game Night -- cast member Bobby Moynihan (complete with Chris Farley-esque hair) was asked to draw an image of "The Prophet Muhammad." "Hilarity" ensued when he and fellow cast…
Rush On The Media, Trapped: Are They Islamophobic or Homophobic?
May 9th, 2015 7:47 PM
So which is it? Is the liberal media Islamophobic? Or homophobic? If drawing cartoons of The Prophet is - as the New York Times insists - an “exercise in bigotry and hatred posing as a blow for freedom”? And - again from the Times - a “blatantly Islamophobic provocation”? All because drawing cartoons of the Prophet violates the Islamic faith? Then what, exactly, is gay marriage? Like drawing…
