Nets Cover GOP Congressman Resigning, Ignored When It Was a Dem

When Republican Congressman Tim Murphy from Pennsylvania resigned in disgrace on October 5, all three broadcast evening shows ran reports on it. NBC’s Today also covered this story the following morning. But just last year when another Pennsylvania Congressman, Democrat Chaka Fattah, was forced to step down amid a corruption trial that eventually ended in his conviction, not one of the morning or…

CNN Pairs NRA's LaPierre Next to Las Vegas Murderer, Slams 'Hypocrisy'

On Friday's New Day CNN, it was demonstrated that, even when Republicans and the NRA seem to be finding agreement with liberals on a possible new gun restriction, it's a case of no good deed goes unpunished as CNN's Chris Cuomo responded by accusing the NRA of "hypocrisy," and by seeing "craven political BS" from some Republicans. And, in a graphic visible in the background during parts of the…

On Friday, all three network morning shows invited on Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda to promote a new song he produced with other celebrities to raise funds for hurricane relief in Puerto Rico.

Sean Spicer Mocks WashPost for Skipping Weinstein In Their Hard Copy

Former Trump press secretary Sean Spicer upset some journalists on Friday morning by noting that the hard copy of Friday's Washington Post carried nothing -- zippy, zero, zilch -- on Hollywood powerhouse/Democratic donor Harvey Weinstein's trail of sexual harassment allegations. One might understand not throwing it on the front page -- but to leave it out entirely? It's not like the story broke…

WATCH: Charlie Sykes Beats Himself Up for Being a Former Conservative

Former conservative radio host Charlie Sykes appeared on MSNBC’s MTP Daily on Thursday to promote his new book How the Right Lost Its Mind. And in an embarrassing show of self-flagellation, Sykes whipped himself for his past life of being a conservative radio host before making his way into the arms of the liberal MSNBC as a news analysis. All of his self-loathing was for the amusement of host…

'Scandal' Season Premiere Peddles Free College to Viewers

ABC’s Scandal returns for its seventh and last season which means it has less than one year to dole out its crooked view of American politics to a public that couldn’t be sicker of the subject at this point. To kick off the fall, the series wastes no time in dusting off the old liberal talking points with the "right" to a free higher education.

'Will & Grace' Stuns With Lack of Self-Awareness In Speech on Rights

After a decade-long hiatus, Will & Grace returned to television last week to completely embarrass itself by putting a political agenda ahead of decent writing. When it comes to the follow-up, the October 10 episode "Who's Your Daddy," all I can say is that it's not as bad.

‘Hardball’ Defends Media 'Standards,' Claims Trump 'Hates Facts'

A number of establishment, liberal journalists responded with smugness on Thursday’s Hardball to President Trump’s tweet earlier in the day that the Senate Intelligence Committee should investigate news organizations for spreading “Fake News.” As expected, they touted their supposedly strict standards and brushed aside claims of media bias as being aimed at undermining the Russia investigations.

Daily News' Lupica: Lousy America Insane with Guns

The New York Daily News' rabid progressive attack dog Mike Lupica's response to the Las Vegas massacre is totally predictable. Complain after the fact that we don't have gun laws to stop this madness, demonize the gun lobby and demand that Americans should be defenseless when confronted by criminals. He thinks the National Rifle Association is intimidating Congress into inaction and you must be a…
