Most movie goers likely haven’t heard of the Cristero War, the Mexican uprising against draconian government measures designed to stamp out Catholicism during the 1920s. Pablo Jose Barroso, producer of “For Greater Glory,” can relate. The Mexico native knew very little about this horrific chapter in his country's history before embarking on the film’s production.

Liberal radio host Stephanie Miller was predictably whacking away at Fox News on Thursday from her tiny bunker on the Current cable network and liberal talk radio. “Wow, so Fox and Friends airs essentially what is four minute free anti-Obama ad, as if it’s like a news piece, right?” Democratic consultant/gay activist Karl Frisch had to make it porny: “The value of airing such a commercial was…

Andy Cohen wants it loose and carefree on his little Bravo talk show "Watch What Happens Live." What happens is people say things to draw attention to themselves.

Newsweek editor Tina Brown published a huge chunk of a letter to the editor objecting to Howard Kurtz’s harsh take on Walter Cronkite. The letter writer? Cronkite’s son Chip. He merely repeated his father’s lame argument that “liberal” means “open-minded,” and isn’t that what a reporter should be? “Admitting to a liberal philosophy (which he defined as something akin to open-mindedness),…

Remember when conservatives didn't like or trust Mitt Romney? Well, that's yesterday's news, according to one Kossack, who opined that the right is warming to Romney because of his vicious, mendacious attacks on President Obama. Moreover, the same Kossack declared that righties find lies about Obama not only politically congenial but also sexually arousing.   As usual, each headline is…

This is hot on the liberal Twittersphere: “The Charts That Should Accompany All Discussions of Media Bias” by James Fallows, a former U.S. News & World Report editor (and Jimmy Carter speechwriter). Fallows is now a weekend contributor to National Public Radio. Once again, they drag out charts based on a Pew ”study” of the media: “They are the ones presented this morning by John Sides,…

An attorney for the National Center for Public Policy Research, speaking yesterday at Comcast's annual shareholder meeting, demanded an on-air correction and apology for defamatory claims by MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.
