Heartfelt Commercial Wishes Moms a ‘Happy Father’s Day!’

In a bizarre move, Angel Soft toilet paper ran an ad this past Sunday wishing moms a “Happy Father’s Day.” The ad featured men and women telling their stories, through tears, of how their moms had to be “both parents” while raising their family by themselves. It’s hard to fault the sweet stories told in the commercial of single moms raising their kids, but surely this ad could’ve been run on…

Lame: AP Claims 'Gun at Head' Photos of Cruz Had No Bad Intent

The Associated Press, although it has apparently removed the primary photo involved from where it was posted last night at its APimages.com web site, is showing no remorse over having published what it has now admitted are five photos of 2016 Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz containing "guns seen on a wall in the background so that it appeared a pistol was pointed at Sen. Cruz’s head…

ABC Hypes Confederate Flag as a GOP Problem: 'Forced to Take a Stand'

In the wake of last week's Charleston shooting, Good Morning America's Jon Karl on Monday spun the Confederate flag as a problem for the 2016 Republicans. No mention was made of Bill Clinton, the spouse of a 2016 Democratic candidate, and his past honoring of the Confederacy.

How We Got Here: Media's Sales Pitch for Gay ‘Marriage’

It’s quite an accomplishment, overturning millennia of understanding about marriage. In just a couple of self-obsessed and nihilistic generations, we’ve managed to render that sacred pillar of civil society more or less meaningless. We’ve degraded it into just another “right” in the never-ending list progressive activists demand, judges arbitrarily invent, and bureaucrats uphold at the expense of…

Mika Schools New Yorker Editor Who Bragged of Condescending to Trump

The screencap shows New Yorker editor David Remnick, on today's Morning Joe, raising his hand to proudly plead guilty to condescending to Donald Trump, whom he had just called a "comical blowhard" in regretting that he was "conceivably a player" in the presidential race. Mika Brzezinski is no fan of The Donald on the issues, so give her extra credit for sticking up for his relevance to the race…

Nets Hype Pope’s ‘Pile of Filth’ Comment, Ignore Abortion Remarks

The media are only too quick to cover abortion (think Scandal, Orange Is the New Black) and gender identity (think Caitlyn Jenner) – and yet, those two topics didn’t make the cut as the networks hyped Pope Francis’ alarmist new encyclical about climate change. The Vatican released the pope’s new encyclical, Laudato Si' on June 18. That day, all three broadcast networks reported that Pope Francis…

WashPost TV Critic Mourns Only Liberals Will Watch HBO Anti-Gun Film

Washington Post TV critic Hank Stuever loved the latest HBO documentary on "gun carnage," as the Monday headline has it. Online, the headline was "A deep wallow in gun-related senselessness." It was "remarkably good" and "notably free of a direct anti-gun harangue," Stuever wrote, but he was still depressed that HBO was only preaching to the liberal choir ("people already horrified by gun…

It is hoped that they will receive the wisdom of God, untainted by the political stump speeches of the outside world.

Really, AP? Wire Photo Has Gun Graphic Pointing at Ted Cruz's Head

The Associated Press currently has a photo for sale at its APimages.com site showing a graphic of a gun pointing at Ted Cruz's head. It has been there since early Saturday evening. It would appear that Charlie Neibergall, the person who snapped this photograph, had to patiently wait for the "right" moment to take the photo in question.

CNN's Foreman Frets Over Confederate Flag, Inserts Nazi Comparison

Friday's The Situation Room on CNN ran a report by correspondent Tom Foreman fretting over the Confederate flag's presence in a part of the South Carolina capitol grounds that is reserved as a tribute to the state's history. Even though the report acknowledged that the flag is padlocked into place so that it cannot be flown at half staff in times of tragedy, Foreman still worried over the fact…
