When (Fantasy) Worlds Collide: ‘Game of Thrones’ and Climate Change

And its hero worship of liberals is out of control.

CNN Appalled Trump Talking Politics Overseas, Were Silent Under Obama

CNN's New Day started Thursday off with an extraordinarily hypocritical attack on President Trump. Co-host Chris Cuomo criticized the President for talking politics overseas: "The idea of the President of the United States. And again, usually, customarily, you go across to trumpet American values.

Daily Show Co-Creator Wants to ‘Shatter Abortion Stigma’

Would you pay money to see The Vagical Mystery Tour, a comedy show that wants to “grow activist bases” around reproductive rights, namely abortion?
