From a flawed premise, it’s easy to reach a silly conclusion. TNR’s Jeet Heer proved that in a Thursday piece in which he argued that “racism [is now] integral to right-wing ideology” and that therefore Donald Trump is authentically conservative -- a “natural evolutionary product” of long-term trends in movement conservatism. “If Republican voters were anywhere near as diverse as the Democrats…

 The Left is still in mourning over the retirement of Jon Stewart from The Daily Show. One poor fellow at The Atlantic just wrote a piece that suggests he needs a grief counselor "Slowly, though, it began to sink in: the dimension of our loss. Jon Stewart was gone—our sanity, our balance," James Parker wrote. "In nuking the news-givers, petarding the pundit class, he became one of them—became,…

West Virginia became the nation's 26th state with a "right-to-work" law a bit over a week ago. At the same time, it also repealed "prevailing wage" requirements for public construction projects. The idea that the formerly Democrat-dominated Mountain State would pass either item was unthinkable as little as a decade ago. That was before the Obama administration began its war on coal-powereed…

What’s with shows actually portraying Christians in a positive light this week? After You, Me and the Apocalypse had a Catholic priest beautifully minister to a man in need, Last Man Standing had a nice message about Jesus’s love.

Appearing as a guest in a pre-recorded interview aired on Friday's CNN Tonight to discuss his endorsement of Hillary Clinton's presidential bid, actor Morgan Freeman dismissed questions about her having a "trust issue" as being "just made-up stuff" and "political hogwash."

If you're going to flaunt your superior knowledge, it's a good idea to get it right . . . On this evening's O'Reilly Factor, Geraldo Rivera scolded guest host Eric Bolling for pronouncing the state of Nevada as Ne-VA-da. Condescendingly instructed Rivera: "It's a Spanish word, Ne-VAH-da. Gringo."  There's just one problem. When it comes to pronouncing the name of the state, and not the Spanish…

The Associated Press has posted four stories during the past week on the machete-wielding Islamist who attacked patrons at the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli in Columbus, Ohio on February 11, seriously wounding several. The wire service's coverage has been a textbook example of deliberate reality avoidance.

On Friday's CNN Newsroom, Jeffrey Toobin somehow thought it was necessary to point out that Justice Antonin Scalia's 120 Supreme Court clerks — many of whom were waiting for his casket to arrive at the Court — consisted of "an overwhelmingly white, male group." Toobin made this statement as the camera zeroed in on eight individuals who all appeared to be white. However, moments later, a different…

The Daily News’s provocative covers aren’t impressing everyone. Squawk Box co-host Joe Kernen slammed the newspaper on Feb. 19, 2016, calling it a “rag” and a “joke” whose papers weren’t even worth a dollar.

A story topic so enticing, they ran it twice. Apparently, not even dying is enough to deter media hostility – if you’re a conservative. Headline on page A6 in Thursday’s Washington Post: “Justice Scalia’s free stay at luxury ranch highlights judicial ethics questions.” Subhead: “Should judges socialize with people who could have cases before them?” (Online version: “Why Justice Scalia was staying…

Fox News Host, Bret Baier called the rest of the media out Thursday evening during his update of the story of the Marine assaulted and robbed by apparent Black Lives Matter supporters. “The story has received very little national attention, except on this channel.” Baier said of the media’s silence on the attack. 

On Friday, both CBS This Morning and ABC’s Good Morning America highlighted a gaffe by Hillary Clinton in a Thursday interview with CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley, when she claimed she “always tried to” tell the truth. However, NBC’s Today completely ignored the stumble.

Major magazines and newspapers continue to sing the praises of gender-inclusive bathrooms, going so far as to call confused commodes  a “civil rights issue” even after a cisgender man invaded a women’s locker room last week. A Seattle man undressed in a women’s locker Feb. 8 at Evans Pool of Seattle Parks and Recreation, USA TODAY reported.

Senate Republican plans to delay Barack Obama getting another justice on the Supreme Court could be driven by only one thing -- racism! Well at least that’s what the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Martin implied, when they collected a bunch of quotes from angry Obama supporters for a front-page February 18 story headlined: “Blacks See Bias in Delay on a Scalia Successor.”
