ABC and NBC Omit CMP Videos in Coverage of House Vote to Defund PP

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.

Bozell & Graham Column: 'Nonpolitical' Ellen and President Hillary

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.

Obama Judge Finds D.C. Gun Restrix Unconstitutional; WaPo Ignores

A federal appeals panel today ruled parts of a Washington, D.C. gun-regulation bill to be unconstitutional. One of the judges in the majority, Patricia Millett, is an Obama appointee who once clerked for a judge in the infamously left-leaning Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Charlie Hebdo Mocks Drowned Little Boy, Blames Christians

Who but Charlie Hebdo would find the tragic drowning death of a little boy funny? The French magazine, notorious for its vile offenses against the sacred beliefs of Muslims, Christians and Jews, has now published two disgusting cartoons mocking the death of little Aylan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian boy whose body washed up on the shores of Turkey during the Syrian refugee exodus.

Caitlyn Jenner, Deflategate, Frat Boys: South Park Goes After PC

On Wednesday, the 19th season of the infamously politically incorrect South Park premiered its first episode going after politically correct, social justice extremists.
