George Will: ‘ObamaCare a Tapestry of Coercions Mitigated by Random

December 23rd, 2013 7:24 PM
It really is wonderful having George Will on Fox News where we can see him more regularly than for a few minutes once a week.

Krauthammer: It Took Barbara Walters 5 Years to Realize Obama’s Not

December 18th, 2013 5:41 PM
Barbara Walter’s admission Tuesday evening that she used to believe President Obama was the next messiah is predictably the target of derision and satire in conservative circles. Making a guest appearance on Fox News’s The Five Wednesday, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer said, “Five years to realize the man isn't a messiah? I think it took some of us…an hour and a half” (video follows…

December 18th, 2013 12:36 PM
CNN's Anderson Cooper decided to wade into the debate Tuesday concerning what race Santa Claus is.

CNN's Stelter: Megyn Kelly Mightn't Have Insisted Santa Was White If F

December 15th, 2013 5:13 PM
My nomination for the dumbest comment of the week by a television host on a news channel goes to CNN's Brian Stelter. While talking to Slate's Aisha Harris about the reaction to her article calling for Santa Claus to be a penguin, the new Reliable Sources host wondered if Megyn Kelly wouldn't have been so adamant about Santa being white if Fox News had more black viewers (video follows with…
