By Tuesday morning when these facts had come to light, ABC’…

ABC Touts Achuleta Ditching God, LDS Church to ‘Embrace His Sexuality’

On Monday, ABC’s Good Morning America circled the drain of morality by gushing over former American Idol contestant David Archuleta’s new memoir and its thesis that, in order to truly “accept himself and embrace his sexuality,” he had to “lose his faith” in God and toxicity in the Mormon Church. It came as no surprise that Disney-owned ABC News has little interest in painting faith in…

NYT's Tankersley Mocks Rubio at Munich: Can't Stop Migrants in Europe

Trump Administration officials are contemptible in the eyes of the New York Times Berlin bureau chief Jim Tankersley. For two years running, he has dumped on the speeches of the American representatives at the annual Munich Security Conference -- first J.D. Vance, and now Marco Rubio.

Phillip Asks a Few Tough Questions To Democrat Rep On Shutdown & ICE

Tune in to the liberal shows on any given day, and you are almost sure to bear witness to what passes for today's 'journalism'. Panels stacked with liberals, conservative panelists given short shrift, Republican guests are challenged, while Democrats are given a platform to spew their talking points uninterrupted.

NY Times Rips Nick Shirley and His Copycats for Posting 'Slopulism'
