When People magazine listed its “Best Books of the Fall,” they prominently featured “feminist icon” Gloria Steinem and her new book My Life on the Road as a “delight” full of “bracing insights.” So it’s not surprising that in its cover story on the upcoming visit of Pope Francis, People looked at “Where He Stands” and skipped right over abortion. Here’s what came under “Women” – just the…

As presidential debates approach, tempers begin to flair and hyperbole tends to creep into coverage. However, with a headline like “Mike Huckabee Wants to Bring Back Slavery,” Luther Campbell of the Miami New Times crossed the line. Luther Campbell, the rapper who caused a social-conservative backlash back in 1989 with the song Me So Horny? Same guy.

With college football games airing Saturday on ABC, CBS, and NBC, none of the three aired their evening newscasts for viewers in the eastern or central time zones, but the CBS Evening News was shown in the western U.S. and featured another segment hinting at a link between the Planned Parenthood baby parts video scandal and a string of recent fires at their facilities. 

The business press just can't understand why the Federal Reserve decided not to raise interest rates on Thursday. After all, these alleged journalists have been telling us for months bordering on years that U.S. economy is really in good shape. So it should be able to handle a rate hike, especially after over seven years of rates at essentially zero. The problem is that they now believe their own…

Washington Post political writer Chris Cillizza has been routinely punching away at attack lines against the liberal media. First came the complaint “'The Media Isn't Biased in Favor of Hillary.” Now he’s asking “Can we please stop blaming the media for Donald Trump?” "One of the most persistent — and persistently wrong — storylines surrounding the 2016 presidential race is that somehow the…

More strange new respect for religion on the front page of the New York Times – at least when it comes to the economically liberal Pope Francis. Jim Yardley is the latest: "A Humble Pope, Challenging the World – First Latin American Pontiff Attracts Fans and Stirs Anxiety in Push for Change." Yardley tried to mainstream the left-wing Pope: "But he is hardly a left-winger, either -- at least in…

I like the Washington Post's Erik Wemple. Even when he goes after me in his column, because, hey, it wonderfully illustrates the liberal media's double standard.

Apparently nothing says, “I support strong, outspoken athletes who speak their mind” quite like ripping to shreds and willfully distorting the words of strong, outspoken athletes who speak their mind.

Applying bogus definitions of “fascist” and “fascism” to conservatives and conservatism has long been almost a cottage industry on the left. In a Friday post that mostly riffed on Rep. Paul Gosar’s intention to skip Pope Francis’s speech to a joint session of Congress, Daily Kos writer Hunter argued that the modern conservative movement may not be fascist right now, but easily could become so. “…

Have you ever been around people in public places who talk so loudly into their cell phones that it sounds like they are shouting? Sometimes they actually are shouting. Meanwhile they are usually unaware of how annoying they are to people around them. However, one such overly loud cell phone talker got his just rewards when political secrets were apparently revealed. The culprit was one Josh…

The business press is trying to convince readers, listeners, and viewers that Janet Yellen's Federal Reserve kept interest rates at zero not because of U.S. economic conditions, which supposedly "look good" with "steady economic growth." No-no. She stayed the course because of the troubled tglobal economy. Thursday evening, Reuters wrote that the Fed failed to move "in a bow to worries about the…

While the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC all miraculously acknowledged on Friday evening the House’s passage of a bill defunding Planned Parenthood, ABC and NBC provided no context in mentioning the horrifying videos released by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) that exposed gruesome practices by the abortion provider. 

Ellen Degeneres is a comedian as well as a daytime TV star, but she said this with a straight face in January: "I don't have an agenda. I'm not here to brainwash anyone….The only way I'm trying to influence people is to be more kind and compassionate with one another….That is the message I'm sending out." In reality, Democratic politicians have used her program to promote themselves and their…

In the pre-social media days, we endured "threats" from various people, mostly celebrities with far-left political views, that they would leave the country if a Republican presidential candidate won election or reelection. Late director Robert Altman, actor Alec Baldwin, actress Kim Basinger, singer Barbra Streisand, and others threatened to leave the U.S. in 2000 if George W. Bush won that year'…
