Religious Right

CNN demonstrated a shameless double standard again on Saturday, breaking out the corona-shaming over a Christian concert under a bridge in Redding, California. That's painted as a public-health hazard....but massive protests against the police, in Los Angeles or Portland or elsewhere, don't draw the same scorn.

Get a load of this badly disguised press release from AP, headlined "Biden's bid touts faith, courts even religious conservatives." A Biden aide declared Biden's identity as "a very devout Catholic and person of deep faith" is "baked into" his campaign. Rebuttal? Not allowed.

On Morning Joe, MSNBC's John Heilemann calls Joe Biden "culturally conservative." This despite Biden's support for abortion on demand and federal funding of abortion. Biden also gets high marks from liberal groups on other cultural issues, and very low marks from conservative groups. 

Even before FX aired AKA Jane Roe, on May 22, the media quickly jumped on a “deathbed confession” from Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff in Roe v. Wade. In the documentary, McCorvey claimed that she was paid and coached by the pro-life movement to convert to their side.

FX on Hulu’s historical revisionism of Phyllis Schlafly and the battle over the Equal Rights Amendment is finally over. After Mrs. America portrayed her as cold, cruel, calculating, insincere, tolerant of racism, and supported by the KKK, it added “abusive” to friends and supporters to its litany of attacks. In addition to the parting shots at Schlafly, the finale exposed the real liberal agenda…

Throughout the 1970s, people from the women’s liberation movement hurled many accusations of racism and even collusion with the Ku Klux Klan at conservative opponent Phyllis Schlafly. The latest episode of Mrs. America from FX on Hulu, made those claims again in “Bella,” with one characters saying Schlafly was “in bed” with the Klan. However, the show fails to substantiate those claims. And…

Week after week Mrs. America spins the life and likeness of conservative leader Phyllis Schlafly. But there is one subject the FX on Hulu show is surprisingly honest about: the depiction of liberals prioritizing abortion over almost any other issue. Liberal determination to enshrine a “right” to kill unborn babies appeared in multiple episodes including Wednesday’s episode “Jill,” where one…

New York's Cardinal Dolan seems to think that President Trump is doing a good job at leading the country through the coronavirus crisis, and though we know there are many Catholics who would never do such a thing (the Obama-voting ones, we’re sure) Dolan also praised the pro-life and pro-religious freedom President for his outreach to religious communities during his administration.

Appearing as a guest on Sunday's AM Joy to discuss white evangelical Christians who steadfastly support President Donald Trump, former CNN contributor and religion expert Reza Aslan likened pro-Trump white evangelical Christians to a "doomsday cult" after recalling that there have been a limited number of pastors who have tried to illegally hold services with parishioners in defiance of the…

On Sunday's Velshi show, MSNBC host Ali Velshi joined left-wing activist Reverend William Barber in complaining that taxes on the wealthy aren't higher, and dismissed the benefits to society contributed by the wealthy. He also invoked Marie Antoinette against the Trump administration over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

Ever since Christianity Today came out and declared that they believe that President Trump should be removed from office and that all good Christians should join them in that effort, the media has developed a newfound respect for Evangelical Christians, or at least some of them. On Monday's MSNBC Live Linette Lopez of Business Insider joined host Craig Melvin to talk about those Evangelicals who…

Most conservatives and liberals enjoy Christmas enough to just have a good time, though every once in awhile you get a Scrooge who refuses to fathom the reason of the season and badmouths the holiday and those who celebrate it. Salon’s politics writer Amanda Marcotte doubled down on her hatred for Christmas by calling those who celebrate it hypocrites who mean “fuck you” when they say “Merry…

On Morning Joe, Rick Tyler says the Christianity Today editorial critical of President Trump overturned the tables of "the money changers" in the temple. He adds that evangelicals who support Trump are telling others that "Christianity is sort of a farce. That it's not real. That it's not true." Rev. Al Sharpton approvingly added that the message of the editorial is that Trump-supporting…

Saturday Night Live went after a conservative family group for objecting to a lesbian ad on the Hallmark Channel during the sketch comedy show’s December 14 episode hosted by actress Scarlett Johansson.
