Mika Brzezinski: Hard for Media to Get Past Clinton 'Moat'

Liberal MSNBC co-host Mika Brzezinski on Wednesday bemoaned the "moat" around Hillary Clinton and the difficulty to get the Democrat to answer questions.

Russert Hints GOP Congressmen Don't Care If Staffers Die on Metrorail

Republican Congressmen are so wedded to slashing federal infrastructure spending that they don't care that their own staffers are riding around on unsafe Metrorail subway cars. That, essentially, was the charge that MSNBC's Luke Russert made at the close of a segment on Now with Alex Wagner devoted to bashing Republicans for proposed cuts to Amtrak and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit…

John Oliver Echoes Hillary in Politicizing Mother's Day with Mandates

This past Sunday,  John Oliver thrilled liberals again with his HBO show Last Week Tonight when he decided to politicize Mother’s Day as another way to bring up the “war on women.” There’s a reason he doesn’t say he’s a “journalist.” He’s a televised activist. He "slams Mother's Day hypocrisy," oozed the Daily Beast. This was his topic sentence: “You can’t go on and on about how much you support…

In what would traditionally be considered a gaffe, Barack Obama on Tuesday attacked those who send their children to private schools and play at "private clubs." (The President does both.)

CNN to Texas Attorney General: Isn't Marriage Bill 'Discriminatory'?

On Wednesday's New Day, CNN's Alisyn Camerota acted more like a LGBT activist than a journalist as she interviewed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Camerota boosted a statement from socially left-wing group Lambda that attacked a proposed marriage bill in the Lone Star State as "blatantly discriminatory." The anchor then asked, "Isn't it discriminatory? Aren't you saying that the gays and…

Vox Inadvertently Undermines Global Warming Settled Science Argument

It's official. 2014 was the hottest year ever recorded! Oops! Never mind. It turned out upon closer investigation that NASA scientists admitted that there was only a 38% chance that was true. Perhaps Vox should have peered just a few months into the future to see their own article written by Julia Belluz and Steven Hoffman which stated that "Science is often flawed. It's time we embraced that."…

UVA Dean Sues ‘Rolling Stone’ for $7.85 Million for Gang-Rape Story

A University of Virginia dean took action Tuesday against Rolling Stone’s now-infamous gang-rape story for its “false” and dishonorable statements. It’s a serious claim considering UVA is all about honor – for every test, a UVA student is required to write the honor code up top. (Full disclosure: I’m an alumna.)  In response to the Rolling Stone Nov. 2014 article entitled A Rape on Campus: A…

ABC and NBC on Wednesday promoted the campaign to remove Andrew Jackson from the $20 and replace him with a woman.

‘Real O’Neals’ is Real Anti-Catholic

Well, anything remotely having to do with sex columnist and pro-gay bully Dan Savage would have to be bad, and the just-released trailer for The Real O’Neals confirms it. “The O’Neals are your typical Irish Catholic family,” the voiceover begins. Which of course means the daughter pockets what she collects for church charities, Mom and Dad are divorcing, the family priest's vow of poverty doesn'…
