Film Critic Richard Roeper: Reviewers Graded Ghostbusters on a Curve

Film critic Richard Roeper didn't mince words about the "Ghostbusters" reboot. He hated it. The former co-host of Ebert & Roeper also knows film criticism is subjective. So he’s not one to rail against those who don’t see movies exactly the same way he does. He did just that, though, during a recent appearance on The Adam Carolla Show podcast. And Carolla had his back.

Brinkley Slams Trump, Nixon; 'Law & Order' 'Clever Way to Be Bigot'

The Left Eats Itself: MSNBC Faulted for Failing to 'Reflect America'

It's amusing to watch liberals blast each other for failing to meet goals of racial diversity. Alicia Shepard, a former ombudsman at National Public Radio, wrote a piece for BillMoyers.com headlined "How Newsrooms Fail To Reflect America and Why It Matters: Too often, there's only one person among the reporters and editors to speak up for diversity." Their target was MSNBC, which has boasted all…

Bozell & Graham Column: Is Comedy Central Racist?

Comedy Central frustrated racial bean-counters across America when it abruptly canceled The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore for the obvious reason: it wasn't "resonating." Its ratings were terrible, and nothing it aired went viral.  It was a desperate stretch when one Wilmore staffer described their audience as "small, but mighty."  NPR TV critic Eric Deggans leaped to the microphone to pound…

Jorge Ramos On Warpath Over Trump’s ‘Xenophobic’, ‘Anti-Immigrant’ Ad

Evidently getting a jump on the fall campaign, Univision’s Jorge Ramos has launched a full-scale attack on the Trump-Pence ticket’s first general election television ad, with a rant that removes any doubt that might still remain that Ramos is a full-fledged #ImWithHer partisan.

PBS NewsHour Cuts Anti-Hillary Portions of Jill Stein Interview

On Tuesday, PBS's Judy Woodruff did a live interview with Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein which was carried on Facebook. The entire interview, plus questions asked by viewers, is present at the network's Facebook page.

Madrigal demanded that white men need not apply to the job of being presidential debate moderators in the fall: “This isn’t what America looks like.

Karma for the Clintons at Last?

Hold on; we may finally be getting some fireworks in this lackluster presidential campaign -- as the Clinton Foundation scandal seems to be gathering steam. Could the Clintons finally have to face the music for their adult-lifetime of corruption? Is it possible that Hillary Clinton's lifelong scheme to be America's first female president could be derailed by this power couple's wanton venality?

The Media Make History

WASHINGTON -- This week I am going to do something unusual. I am going to enter into a conversation with another columnist. Doing so was not so unusual a few decades back. Bill Buckley and James Jackson Kilpatrick did it when provoked, and it was always interesting. But today columnists are godlike figures. They communicate solely with Mount Olympus, and the result is often a bit tedious.
