No takedown of a fake HERO would be possible without real heroes. One of those real heroes in Houston, who fought against the certifiable insanity that lesbian Mayor Annise Parker tried to perpetrate on citizens she’s charged with protecting, was former Rice University and former Houston Astro star Lance Berkman who was considered by many --rightly or wrongly-- to be the “face” of the anti-HERO…

During an interview with the Charlotte Observer to preview MSNBC’s Democratic presidential forum on Friday night, host Rachel Maddow strongly downplayed criticism leveled against CNBC for its handling of the Republican presidential debate. 

Thursday’s Morning Joe featured a discussion on the Iranian deal and hostages in Iran. Late into the segment, Mika Brzezinski inquired of Vali Nasr on whether he was surprised the hostages weren't part of the deal. Nasr, who served as a State Department official in the Obama administration, and Karl Vick, of Time Magazine, both expressed a lack of surprise for getting the hostages. Joe…

Put simply, The New York Times is fighting “hate” by accusing others of hate. On Nov. 3, Houston voters rejected the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO) which allowed, among other things, transgender men and women to use the public restroom of their choice. In the Opinion Pages, the New York Times Editorial Board published its reaction in a Nov. 4 story titled, “In Houston, Hate Trumped…

Since Houston voters overwhelmingly rejected the “transgender bathroom rights” law known as “HERO” Tuesday night, the media have been frantically trying to spin the story as a case of anti-LGBT, religious extremists getting their way. NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers was no different, and, in a rant, the host found a way to bash both Houston voters and GOP candidate Mike Huckabee.

The three networks on Thursday hyped the “scathing” “political bombshell” of George H.W. Bush criticizing Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. In contrast, when Barack Obama’s former Secretary of State went on the record with harsh criticism of his former boss, ABC and NBC avoided it. Speaking of the Bush family, Good Morning America’s Amy Robach trumpeted, “This is being called a political bombshell…

In an interview with Donald Trump on Thursday’s NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie wondered why the Republican presidential candidate accepted an invitation to host Saturday Night Live: “As you are perfectly aware, there are Latino groups that are outside protesting NBC and SNL because you are hosting this weekend. Are you surprised that SNL asked you to host after there was this acrimonious…

The media are pushing Spotlight, the movie that opens on Friday about the Boston Globe team that exposed priestly sexual abuse in the Boston Archdiocese prior to 2002. But there is little interest in this issue when non-Catholics are implicated in such crimes. As recent cases show, many courts around the nation evince disparate treatment as well.

Journalists love to claim that they’re fact-checking others, but sometimes they might need to take a closer look at their own work. On Nov. 3, a CBS Evening News graphic during an obituary for Iraqi Ahmed Chalabi stated that the Chalabi had died in 2105, instead of 2015 – a 161 year life span.

On Wednesday night’s Last Word, MSNBC’s Alex Wagner introduced the broadcast by complaining that despite President Obama “riding the political wave of political success” “the Democratic Party just got a brutal reality check” in the 2015 elections. The MSNBC host and liberal Washington Post columnist EJ Dionne repeatedly tried to downplay the bad night for Democrats and chalked it up to low voter…

Filed under the heading of, “You Just Can’t Make This Stuff Up,” I give you Terry Rambler, who is the Chairman of the San Carlos Apache Tribe in Arizona. Rambler was in DC recently to represent his tribe at Tribal Nations Conference. He is also a signatory to a pledge calling for the Washington Redskins to change their name, because racism.

Abortion belongs in entertainment, according to one Washington Post writer. In her Nov. 2 story, Washington Post opinion writer Alyssa Rosenberg called on television shows to “treat” abortion as a “routine medical procedure.” She celebrated three shows for presenting a “glimmer of refreshing honesty” with abortion: CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, CW’s Jane the Virgin and FXX’s You’re the Worst.

Tuesday night, Houston voters rejected a bill propped up by the city’s lesbian mayor Annise Parker that would allow transgender men and women into the public bathroom of their choice. This came after voters in Springfield, MO revoked a similar ordinance passed by the city’s council a few months prior. But the backlash doesn’t stop there. In Fairfax County, VA, Hillsboro, MO and Chicago, IL,…

It was like a mother trying to lead her naughty son through an apology . . .  Last week, Joe Scarborough predicted he would "get in trouble" for calling John Harwood's biased performance as debate moderator "embarrassing." On today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski tried, in what seemed perhaps to be a pre-arranged mea culpa, to force Joe to say "I really respect everyone I work with." Joe didn't…
