Reid: Whoopi Should Have NO PUNISHMENT for Holocaust Comments

Of course, one of the most vile and incendiary people on TV thinks there should be consequences for saying such things. That’s the argument MSNBC’s Joy Reid made during Wednesday’s edition of The ReidOut, suggesting that it would have been better for ABC to use Whoopi Goldberg’s (stage name) anti-Semitic remarks about the Holocaust as a “teachable moment” rather than suspending her…

Nets Skip Docs Proving Biden Admin's Afghanistan Withdraw Incompetence

CBS's Colbert LIES About Ron DeSantis Being ‘Silent’ About Nazis

Tuesday night on CBS’s The Late Show, far-left host Stephen Colbert engaged in the latest smear against Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), falsely claiming he was “silent” on alleged neo-Nazi gatherings and deceptively edited a clip to claim he only commented so far as to attack Democrats for using it against him. In reality, he slammed the white supremacists as “jackasses.”

The View Claims Gorsuch, Federalist Society Breaking Ethics/Tax Law

After spending mere seconds addressing co-host Whoopi Goldberg’s two-week suspension from The View, the coven tried to divert attention from their bad behavior by trying to cook up some against conservative Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and the conservative Federalist Society; baselessly suggesting they were engaged in a “quid-pro-quo” and breaking federal tax laws governing the…

Jen Psaki on Spotify: ‘More That Can Be Done’ to Censor Joe Rogan

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki called on music and podcast streaming platform Spotify to tighten its grip on speech to stop so-called “misinformation.” It’s a culture-war tactic often used by the left: Accept some subservience by others to its agenda, but say that’s only a start.

Bozell to NBC: Don't Whitewash Chinese Abuses During Olympics

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell on Wednesday wrote letters calling on NBC News and NBC Sports to unflinchingly “devote significant on-air reporting to telling the truth” about Communist China’s genocide against Uyghur Muslims, as well as the country’s “egregious response” to COVID-19 and other outrages.

NBC Spikes the Ball on Washington Rename, Tars NFL as Racist

On Wednesday, NBC’s Today show used the exclusive announcement of the new name for the Washington Football Team – formerly the Redskins – on its air to wail about the team’s previous “racist” name and declare that the NFL has “a race problem.” It’s fitting that the announcement took place on NBC given how the ultra-woke network spent years attacking the sports franchise and demanding…

Baghdad Brian Stelter Blows Wet Kisses to Departed CNN Boss Zucker

Playing the role of Baghdad Bob after the 2003 fall of the Iraqi capital to U.S. troops, CNN’s Reliable Sources host and chief media correspondent Brian Stelter crawled out of his shell to spinelessly shill for Jeff Zucker moments after his resignation from CNN, calling him “a larger than life” and “pioneering figure” and their “rock” who’s left them in “a stunner.”

Ex-Miami Coach’s Suit Alleges Dolphins Aimed To Tank, NFL Racist

Fired recently after three seasons as head coach of the Miami Dolphins, Brian Flores unleashed a bombshell on his way out of the National Football League. In a 58-page lawsuit filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court’s Southern District of New York, he accused his former team of tampering, tanking and racism.
