In a Thursday column for The Daily Beast, former CNN contributor Roland Martin attacked the supposed "cowardly bullies" at the National Rifle Association for opposing President Obama's surgeon general nominee. Martin's op-ed follows in the footsteps of MSNBC's Krystal Ball and NBC's Anne Thompson, who politicized the Ebola crisis nearly a week earlier when they bemoaned that due to "Senate…

ISIS ... in America? ... that's just crazy talk! At least if claimed by a Republican in Congress and heard at MSNBC, while a House Democrat making a comparably ominous warning is ignored at the same network. It was all Rachel Maddow could do last night to contain her mirth at the apparently preposterous possibility that suspected ISIS terrorists have been caught at the US-Mexican border, as…

American women and homosexuals can really relate to the kind of treatment their Middle Eastern counterparts receive at the hands of Islamist terrorists. Oh sure, not the kidnapping, beheading, stoning, genital mutilation or acid attacks. Nobody’s toppling stone walls on them or burying them alive, and there’s pretty much zero chance of ending up face down in a ditch riddled with AK-47 rounds.…

It's disconcerting, and occasionally infuriating, to watch facts originally reported in some national stories disappear or get sanitized in later versions. What the Associated Press has been doing to its more recent reports on the September 25 beheading of Colleen Hufford in Moore, Oklahoma has moved firmly into the infuriating stage. Several examples after the jump will demonstrate this.

MSNBC talking heads lament culture of terrorism, oppression, homophobia, but they're not talking Islam.

The three networks routinely fawn over Jimmy Carter as a wise and impressive voice, yet ABC, CBS and NBC were silent when the ex-President trashed his fellow Democrat, Barack Obama, on Tuesday. In an interview with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Carter complained about how Obama handled ISIS: "First of all, we waited too long. We let the Islamic state build up its money, capability and strength…

ABC’s Scandal, which has a fresh episode tonight, last week featured “President Fitzgerald Grant,” supposedly a Republican, channeling Piers Morgan as he used the State of the Union address to plead for more gun control: “How many other people’s children are we going to let die before we put a stop to this?”

Editor’s note: Story contains graphic content and links to an explicit video. Crude comedian Sarah Silverman is no stranger to politics and controversial topics. In her latest shock video, she weighed in on male/female pay disparity claiming she’s going to have a sex change because of the “vagina tax.” Silverman joined the many lefties who complain about a pay gap between men and women and…

Pro-life activist Bryan Kemper was really looking forward to seeing his T-shirts on TLC. But he was shocked when viewing the October 2 episode of 19 Kids and Counting to see one of his pro-life shirts, but with the message "I survived Roe vs. Wade / Roe vs. Wade will not survive me" blurred out.

Piers Morgan's former employers at CNN finally responded on Thursday to the former host's recent targeting of Anderson Cooper. Politico's Dylan Byers reported that in an e-mail, network publicist Megan Rivers "accused Morgan of making unjustified attacks on his former colleague [Cooper] in order to find a new job." The former CNN host is now editor-at-large at the Daily Mail.

Abortion may not be the “perfect topic” for Mindy Kaling's sitcom, but anal sex is another story – Catholic jabs included. Mindy Kaling, who came to fame with “The Office,” writes, produces and stars as an ob-gyn in the Fox comedy “The Mindy Project,” now in its third season. The Oct. 7 episode, “I Slipped,” focused on a new topic: anal sex. A topic not complete, as Kaling showed, without jokes…

Former Md. Governor Bob Ehrlich (R) pushed back against Howard Dean and Chris Matthews on Wednesday night's Hardball when the topic of voter ID laws came up and the liberal duo pushed the tired meme that such laws were Republican plots to disenfranchise poor and minority voters who tend to be Democrats.  Ehrlich pushed back that such laws were common sense to establish a voter's identity and…

Feminists at Jezebel, NARAL, Feministing and the like are encouraging young girls to rise up and protest against school dress codes, which they deem “sexist.” Apparently any school dress code that requires some level of modesty from students is tantamount to “slut-shaming,” the horrifying crime of requiring women and girls to dress and act according to norms of social and sexual propriety.  …

Eva Longoria, actress turned Democratic activist, appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe to promote the 2014 ALMA Awards airing on the “Lean Forward” network and used her Thursday appearance to push for amnesty. During her friendly Thursday morning interview with co-host Mika Brzezinski, Longoria proclaimed that regarding immigration reform “everybody is on board. There is bipartisan efforts and then to…
