At Univision, Some Bombmakers Are More Equal Than Others

Univision may have broken the irony meter with this particular booking: Congressman Luis Gutiérrez on Sunday political talker Al Punto, in order to discuss the recent attempted mail bombings and make distinctions between types of nationalism. Given Gutiérrez’ history, perhaps it would’ve been best that he sit this one out.

Midterms: Google Censors Marsha Blackburn Ad As ‘Shocking’

Outlets censoring the right’s political ads and then saying that they are neutral is the definition of hypocrisy. This, however, seems to be at least part of Google’s approach to the midterms.

Creepy NYT Profile of CBS’s King Touts Connections, Oprah Fantasies

New York Times reporter Amy Chozick has quite the track record of biased stories in addition to her book on covering Hillary Clinton filled with gooey tributes and some a-grade affection. So it was no surprise that Chozick came through Wednesday with a profile of CBS This Morning co-host, Oprah Winfrey gal pal, and Obama donor and family friend Gayle King that was so syrupy it saw no problem with…

Cuomo: Trump Wants to 'Whip Up' 'Xenophobia and Conflict'

During Tuesday’s edition of Cuomo Prime Time, host Chris Cuomo claimed that the Republican message for the midterms was “fear and loathing.” He accused Republicans of trying to “create a farce that (the migrants) are an invading force filled with dealers and murderers, whip as much xenophobia and conflict as he can.” He also slammed the President for calling the media “the enemy of the people,”…

CBS Skips Crazy Comments From Arizona Dem, Highlights GOPer Instead

CBS hasn’t had time for the wildly controversial comments from a Democratic senatorial candidate in Arizona, a woman who is tied in the polls and could win. So what did CBS This Morning cover instead on Wednesday? A House member from Iowa who is embarrassing his own Republican Party instead.

Cate Blanchett Will Play Phyllis Schlafly In New TV Drama

To most people in Hollywood, the right side of the political spectrum is a monolith - if you dare to associate yourself with or utter a word of praise about anyone who calls himself or herself conservative, you’ve just aided President Trump in the further destruction of this country and ought to be ridiculed. It’s Left, or left out.

Jon Stewart: Trump Uses Journos’ Own 'Narcissism' Against Them

Imagine a CNN personality claiming to be mystified by the “daily Trump-fest.” This is, after all, the network of Brian Stelter, who never misses an opportunity to whine that Trump is “poisoning the American people” against the media. But let’s pretend that Christiane Amanpour really does lack all self-awareness and, perplexed, she recently turned to journalism mentor Jon Stewart for guidance. “I…

Life Under a Democratic-Controlled House

Democrats are hoping the coming election will give them a majority in the House of Representatives. Republicans and much of our nation dread that prospect. My question is: What would a House majority mean for the Democrats? Let's look at it. To control the House of Representatives, Democrats must win at least 218 seats, which many predict as being likely. To control the Senate, Democrats must win…

Column: The Sickness Spreads

Just in time for Halloween comes a former male stripper, who drove a van with Trump stickers plastered all over it, being charged with sending pipe bombs to top Democratic leaders, a journalist and at least one celebrity, all of whom have been vocal critics of President Trump. The New York Post headline was the cleverest: "Caught Red Hatted: Steroid-abusing Florida stripper driving Trump van is…

News or Editorial? AP Claims Trump 'Fearmongering Over Immigration'

When does the Associated Press consider an opinion piece on immigration to be straight news? According to an article posted on Tuesday morning, it’s apparently whenever it provides a chance to attack President Trump as “making another hardline immigration play” while “seeking to energize his supporters and help Republicans keep control of Congress.”

Ben and Jerry’s New Ice Cream Flavor Promotes Liberal ‘Resistance’

As if we needed more proof lefties want to see every aspect of existence politicized (Trevor Noah with cancer and Amy Schumer with her pregnancy), Vermont-based ice cream giant Ben & Jerry’s has now hopped on the #resist train. The company has gotten very rich touting its hippie bonafides, throwing its weight behind progressive celebrities and political causes. But on Oct. 30th it revealed it…

Ugh: CNN's Camerota Lumps Trump with Synagogue Mass Murderer

On CNN, Alisyn Camerota lumps President Trump with the accused Pittsburgh mass murderer. Regarding migrants, Camerota says Trump is, "frankly, I have to say it, using some of the same language that the mass murderer at the synagogue used . . . It's hard for him to celebrate his narrative of vilifying migrants when, again, the alleged mass murderer did the same thing."
