Yesterday morning, before the Republican Party's Nevada caucuses began, Nate Silver at the inexplicably hallowed FiveThirtyEight blog made a really naive and tone-deaf assumption. He reckoned that the caucuses would be a low turnout event, noting that in 2012, "only 1.9 percent of the voting-eligible population — about 33,000 people — participated in the Republican caucuses in Nevada," and spent…

Hollywood’s sex scenes on the big screen don’t just affect the viewers. On Monday, Maxim published “13 Actresses Reveal What It’s Really Like to Shoot a Steamy Sex Scene.” In a surprising move for a men’s magazine, Maxim retold female celebrities’ mostly negative stories of how acting out sex scenes affected them in real life – from Jennifer Lawrence to Vanessa Hudgens. 

And we thought Joe Scarborough was the one who had it in for Marco Rubio . . . Turns out, Mika Brzezinski really doesn't dig Rubio. At all.  On today's Morning Joe, Mika painted Rubio as an unprincipled pol "sucking up" to Donald Trump in order to be his VP pick. Mika: "he's the only one who will go against everything he believes in and say whatever Trump wants him to. He'll do whatever Trump…

Continuing to operate at full speed well past the 1:00 a.m. Eastern hour on Tuesday (10:00 p.m. Pacific), MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews attempted to analyze Donald Trump’s victory speech after winning the Nevada caucuses by comparing his interaction with supporters to the late Johnny Carson’s relationship with Tonight Show viewers.

Have you seen the GE commercial? Millenial son informs mom and dad that he has gotten a job at GE. Old-fashioned dad is enthusiastic: "proud of you, son. GE! Manufacturing!" He hands son "granpappy's" heavy old hammer. Son gently explains that rather than building "powerful machines," he'll be writing computer code. Disappointed dad: "he can't lift the hammer." Mom, with more compassion than…

TV Land’s Younger has introduced a radical male feminist character this season that is pretty much the best you’ll ever see on television!

Offering his initial thoughts on the NBC News projection just after midnight Wednesday that Donald Trump would win the Nevada caucuses, MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews sought to diagnose Trump’s rise as going back to before the 2010 midterm elections and resulting in a 2016 in which “Trump is the name” for the “pain” of conservatives.

The real risk of exposing innocent people to dangerous disease by children not vaccinated was presented tonight on NBC’s Chicago Med. In “Intervention,” young Shiloh was brought into the ER by her concerned parents. After a brief exam, the real possibility that the child may have meningitis or even something worse was feared. Her parents, both engineers with an obvious penchant for overusing…

The Associated Press clearly hopes that most Americans still pay little to no attention to New Media. That's the only credible argument one can employ as to why the wire service's Alan Fram, in his Tuesday evening dispatch, characterized the unanimous decision of Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee not to hold hearings on a potential Supreme Court nominee this year as "extraordinary."…

President Obama may be a lame duck, but the press never tires of celebrating him as the first black president. They ran President Bush’s poll ratings into the ground as his term ended, but here in Black History Month, they are promoting Obama like it’s still 2009. On NBC Nightly News, anchor Kate Snow played video posted on Facebook of a four-year-old black girl crying and distraught that Obama’…

In an interview last Wednesday with Late Night host Seth Meyers, Anthony Anderson – star of the show Blackish – made some rather interesting comments regarding Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson. When discussing the presidential race, Anderson – who has given President Obama his undying support – says he isn’t sure who he’s voting for this election, but it won’t be for “the black…

While questioning Hillary Clinton about her e-mail scandal and the latest court ruling at Tuesday night’s CNN Democratic Presidential Town Hall, moderator Chris Cuomo invited the former secretary of state to make a “statement to Democrats who are afraid that this right, wrong, good, bad, it will not believe you in this race and may compromise you now and going forward.”
