As Hurricane Harvey battered the coast of Texas over the weekend, it was estimated that the storm could cost as much, if not more, than $40 billion worth of damages, with at least one death being attributed to the storm. But there was a touching moment after Harvey’s landfall on Saturday as Paul Goodloe, a meteorologist for The Weather Channel, discovered a downed American flag outside a school…

New York Times reporter Katie Rogers is a kind of pop-social reporter in D.C. in the Trump era, and has little love for the people she covers. Rogers made the front page of Saturday’s edition with some snarky that seems a few months past its sell-by date: “Trump Hotel by Night: Lobbyists, $60 Steaks.” One would think sophisticated big-city Times editors would know $60 isn’t really all that much…

Any difference between the news and opinion sections of The Washington Post and the sports pages is barely discernible in the current age of racial hysteria. Post sports writers like Sally Jenkins demonstrate this by taking up the social justice crusade for rebel without a team Colin Kaepernick.

The feminists get very upset when conservatives get too literal and accuse abortion clinics of killing humans. They only "provide health care." Bronwyn Isaac at the feminist site Bustle railed against Mike Huckabee, who compared taking down Confederate statues to tearing down abortion clinics "because I find them offensive." Confederate statues honor a "brutal history of violence and enslavement…

“Communism is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy.” -- Chairman Mao. It’s only a couple weeks after Charlottesville and the left is hammering away at American history. Alt-left idiots are ordering the removal of Civil War monuments from Baltimore, Maryland, to Austin, Texas, and trying to change place names, as well. But this fight has little to do with those monuments. As a result, the alt-…

Al Gore's latest climate change film couldn't draw a crowd. Here's why. Few films receive the avalanche of positive press An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power enjoyed. Reporters uncritically shared Al Gore’s climate change mantra in virtually every media outlet. They treated his return to the big screen like a major event. Shoving skepticism aside, the articles cried it’s the movie we need now…

Support mental health or I'll kill you! New Yorker magazine seems to have this deep psychological need for President Donald Trump to be officially called crazy by psychiatrists. That need is so urgent that their August 23 article by Jeannie Suk Gersen on this subject almost exactly echoes their May 22 story by Jane Mayer on the same topic.

ESPN has been working hard for several years to establish itself as just another sermonizing member of the liberal media, most audaciously in hailing “Kaitlyn” Jenner with a “Courage” award in 2015 for facing down such tortures as the disrespectful use of “incorrect pronouns.” Soldiers who lost their lives in combat hadn’t a fraction of Jenner’s bravery, according to their judgment. In the wake…

The August 24 episode of NBC’s The Night Shift laid out a heavy hand of virtue-shaming on the issue of illegal immigration by painting ICE agents as cold-hearted men only concerned about meeting quotas. Titled “Land of the Free,” the episode pitted the self-righteous doctors against mean-spirited federal employees doing their job.

Friday's Morning Edition on NPR hyped two "far-right" protests planned in the San Francisco Bay Area on Saturday and Sunday. However, the public radio network improperly labeled Patriot Prayer, the group behind one of the demonstrations, as "alt-right." In fact, the controversial liberal Southern Poverty Law Center "does not list Patriot Prayer as such, nor is [founder Joey] Gibson considered an…

The Kaepernick beat has taken some unusual twists and turns in the past 24 hours. There was plenty of the usual support from left-stream media and Kaepernick apologists, an accusation against Michael Vick of criticizing Kaepernick in order to land a job with Fox Sports and some opposition to the polarizing football free agent.

The "journalists" at MSNBC seem eager for Hurricane Harvey to be a political disaster for Donald Trump, preemptively reminding everyone what the stakes are. Deadline: White House anchor Nicolle Wallace on Friday was amazed that the President hasn’t screwed it up yet: “It seems to me that this is the first event of this presidency where sort of the dire nature of the event seems to have halted…

Here’s another entry for the “Just When You Think You’ve Seen It All Department:” Former tennis professional and ESPN broadcaster Doug Adler has filed a lawsuit against the company because he was fired due to confusion regarding his use of the word “guerrilla” while describing an aggressive play by an African-American tennis champion.

Writer Eric Alterman presents the relationship between President Trump and journalists as if it were a plot from a horror movie, and the audience knows what’s going to happen before the victim does. In Alterman’s view, the “racist, sexist, Islamophobic psychopath” Trump threatens the mainstream media, but reporters and editors are oblivious to the danger “not only to their livelihoods, but to…
