Veteran journalist John Harwood, according to his Twitter home page, covers "Washington and national politics for CNBC and the New York Times." Saturday morning, despite all of his experience, Harwood tweeted a question (HT Twitchy) so naive that a freshman journalism student would have been embarrassed to ask it:

“White People” – the long awaited and hyped up MTV documentary about white privilege in America, debuted Wednesday night, and the results are in; not only did it fail to captivate the audience, but liberals complained it barely touched the surface of race in America. The Twitterverse lit up during the documentary with #WhitePeople.  Many tweeted their opinions that Jose Antonio Vargas – the…

Last Monday, Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist found a noticeable "lack of ferocity" on the Planned Parenthood tapes in the liberal media. So she composed a long list of questions incurious reporters should be asking if they somehow thought the story was prematurely exhausted. (Remember when they mocked George W. Bush as incurious?) Hemingway also did a little Nexis searching to show how…

FNC’s Special Report with Bret Baier wrapped up its Thursday “center seat” session, with Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio, by playing for him a clip of Jon Stewart ridiculing a New York Times hit piece about how Rubio had received a few traffic tickets.

In a speech at a Republican Lincoln Day dinner in West Virginia earlier this week, Murray Energy Corp. founder and CEO Robert Murray decried the Obama administration's determination to, as described at the financial news site SNL.com (to be clear, no relation to Saturday Night Live), "bypass the states and their utility commissions, the U.S. Congress and the Constitution in favor of putting the U…

Yahoo Sports basketball blogger Jeff Eisenberg wrote one of those feel-good anti-Islamophobia articles titled “Why an AAU team chose to name itself the Motor City Muslims.” The team was organized by a suburban Muslim Unity Center youth counselor named Ali Altimimy, “a former high school and community college basketball player whose love for hoops is only exceeded by his passion for his religion…

A 7,000-word New York Times Magazine cover story by Eliza Griswold, "The Shadow of Death," is an all-too-rare look from a major media outlet at the decimation of Christianity in the place of its birth, the Middle East, at the hands of radical Islamist groups like ISIS. From the cover text: "Christians in the Middle East are being forced out of their homes, enslaved and killed. Why is no one…

It’s the kind of article that makes you think the liberals are satirizing themselves. But it seems to be serious. Jacob Brogan has written an article on Slate subtitled “I’m a feminist. I’m a dude. And I hate that I love to grill.” Brogan confesses "I get the sense that I’ve fallen into a societal trap, one that reaffirms gender roles I’ve spent years trying to undo. The whole business feels…

Late Friday afternoon the Washington Post headlined this front page story about the shooter in the Louisiana: "Reports: Shooter was mentally ill, anti-tax activist." The story then reports that John Russell Houser “was a onetime entrepreneur who inveighed against women’s rights, liberals and minorities and had been involuntarily committed for mental illness.” Yes, Rusty Houser “was fiercely anti…

Shades of 1968 and the Days of Rage? Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors has announced that "any opportunity we have to shut down a Republican convention, we will." Appearing on today's Melissa Harris-Perry show on MSNBC, Cullors also blithely spoke of "the murder of Mike Brown" in Ferguson, MO. Neither of the co-guest hosts sitting in for Harris-Perry, Richard Liu and Janet Mock,…

On Friday afternoon's CNN Newsroom with Brooke Baldwin, just when it seemed like CNN legal analyst Philip Holloway was about to make a conservative case in favor people getting concealed carry permits to protect themselves in public places, it turned into a case of "Do as I say, not as I do," as he ended up warning that "it's not for everybody," and that too many people in a theater with…

Jon Stewart's last day of hosting The Daily Show will be on August 6, and while many will miss the oftentimes controversial satirst, one writer in particular will not.  That's because Wyatt Cenac, a former writer and correspondent for the show, recently revealed that he didn't get along with the famous host.         Speaking with Marc Maron on his "WTF" podcast, Cenac told Maron  He also spoke…

Apparently, baseball is so simple that even a Dominican can do it! At least that was the sentiment expressed by the now-former ESPN, and possibly never-going-to-be Fox Sports 1 host Colin Cowherd, who on Thursday’s edition of his show “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” broke with one of his longtime patterns and devoted an entire segment to baseball. If Colin had any idea that this particular…
