NY Times Hails 2019 'Social Justice' Turn of Athletes Speaking Out
Reporter Liz Robbins wrapped up the year in left-wing athletic activism on the front of the New York Times sports page New Year’s Day, though she put it in more flattering terms in “Playing for Trophies, and for Change.” Robbins doesn't seem to like sports: "Long a bastion for abuse, homophobia, misogyny and injury, the sporting world has started to embrace diversity, vulnerability, gender…

On CNN, Linda Ronstadt Likens Trump to Hitler, Mexicans 'the New Jews'
On Monday's Anderson Cooper 360, CNN promoted a New Year's Day special on singer Linda Ronstadt with a pre-recorded interview between Ronstadt and host Cooper in which the singer became the latest liberal to hyperbolically liken President Donald Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

Will Networks Try to Edit Trump Cameos Out of All TV Shows and Movies?
If you thought that Trump Derangement Syndrome could not get any more absurd, it just did. CBC in Canada recently took TDS to a new level by cutting out the brief Donald Trump cameo scene in their broadcast of 'Home Alone 2.' Perhaps the TDS Canadians were triggered by the fact that President Trump had praised that film days earlier in a talk with American troops and this was their ridiculous…

Goodbye 2019! Watch the Top 10 Worst Liberal TV Scenes of the Year

Bozell & Graham Column: Media Yawn at the War on Christians
The secular media greet Christmas as a shopping season, and not as a special time for Christianity. They can devote hours of December "news" on which hot toys or gadgets would make great gifts, but not to segments on Christ and his birth. The same applies to the persecution of Christians. The apathy shown by the pro-"human rights" media here is appalling.

PolitiFact Readers Poll for 2019 Lie of the Year Exposes Audience Tilt
One reason the "independent" site PolitiFact leans strongly to the left is its audience. It relies on tips from its fans to select many of its fact checks, and so when PolitiFact tweeted today a reminder to look at its Readers Poll for the 2019 Lie of the Year, the readers overwhelmingly favored fact checks of President Trump and his team. Almost 88 percent of the votes went to three Trump claims…

#YearInReview: Here’s the Ten Most-Read NewsBusters Blogs of 2019
2019 was another year of smashing success for the NewsBusters team as we had umpteen media stories to cover throughout the year, whether it was the Jussie Smollett debacle, the Mueller Report, impeachment, 2020 debates, and more online censorship. While it may seem repetitive, NewsBusters would be nowhere near what its become since its inception in 2005 without the support of beloved readers (and…

Netflix Music Show Star Has Abortion to 'Love Myself'
Netflix’s Soundtrack is a charming musical telling the story of the interracial relationship between musician Sam (Paul James) and artist Eleanor "Nellie" (Callie Hernandez), partly through flashbacks. The show’s charm, however, is ruined by the character’s selfishness centered around an abortion.
