Louisiana

Is your business “needed”? Bizarrely, in many states, if you want to start a business, you first must convince bureaucrats that your business is “needed.” Four years ago, Louisiana blocked social worker Ursula Newell-Davis from helping kids with special needs. Bureaucrats said she hadn’t proved her business was needed. “Why does the state of Louisiana have the right to stop me from doing what…

On Wednesday's Chris Jansing Reports on MS NOW, fill-in host Erielle Reshef presided over segment to fret over moves by Louisiana Republicans to eliminate a racially gerrymandered Democrat-leaning congressional district even though doing so is in accordance with the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision. 

The U.S. Constitution (the First Amendment especially) is treated as a sacred document by the elitist media -- unless it helps conservatives get out their message, or, in the case of the recent Supreme Court decision altering the Voting Rights Amendment, gets in the way of black Democrat politicians getting a leg up on winning seats in Congress. 

Tuesday’s PBS News Hour predictably injected racism allegations into its coverage of the Supreme Court striking down race-based gerrymandering in Louisiana v. Callais, even covering the story under its portentous “Race Matters” series rubric. White House correspondent Liz Landers traveled to Baton Rouge to collect accusations of racism -- though to be fair, the first…

On CBS News Sunday Morning, CBS chief Washington analyst Robert Costa presented a story with comparisons of the recent Supreme Court’s Callais v. Louisiana decision to the civil rights movement, and predicted the Court, led by Justice John Roberts, would be remembered for its decisions on “race-conscious” policies.

Former DNC chairwoman and current ABC contributor Donna Brazile joined outgoing GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw and HBO’s Real Time host Bill Maher to show an amazing display of hypocrisy. In the span of only a couple of minutes, the short-tempered Brazile would claim that Republican redistricting efforts are “immoral,” but that Democratic efforts are what “voters decided.”

After the Virginia Supreme Court struck down the state’s 10-1 Democratic gerrymander on Friday, ABC Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl joined World News Tonight to omit why the court ruled the way it did. By contrast, CBS Evening News host Tony Dokoupil referenced the ruling that held state Democrats violated the rules in how the map was drawn and put to voters, but then…

Abortion proponents love to claim abortion pills are "safe," but for whom? It's not "safe" for the baby being killed. One half of the humans involved in abortion are utterly dehumanized, not even considered in the safety equation. On the PBS show Amanpour & Co., guest host Bianna Golodryga and her abortion-lobbyist guest touted the pills as "safe" (and typically "safe and…

The New York Times reacted badly to the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in vote in Louisiana v. Callais that struck down racial gerrymandering to insure black voters have the best chance to elect black representatives to Congress. Political reporter Nick Corasaniti, long-obsessed with so-called GOP “voter suppression,” went dramatic in “Voting Rights Ruling Could Fuel Era of…

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough flunked basic math on Tuesday’s Morning Joe as he claimed you are 400 times more likely to be murdered in the red state of Louisiana than the blue state of California. Even charitable interpretations of this blunder fail to help Scarborough make the point he thinks he was making.

Liberal journalists rush to the support of other liberal journalists to insure the wider distribution of liberal bias. That’s why you see networks like CBS rushing to defend “public” radio in "rural" Shreveport, Louisiana (pop. 187,000). CBS headlined its online story: "Inside a Louisiana NPR station threatened by federal cuts: 'Without it, people would die'."

On Sunday's episode of TV on the Edge: Moments that Shaped Our Culture, CNN devoted the hour to looking back at the infamous moment in 2005 when rapper Kanye West blurted out the accusation that President George W. Bush "doesn't like black people" during a telethon to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The ratings competition between CNN and MSNBC took a back seat on Monday as CNN’s Dana Bash traveled over to Inside with Jen Psaki to promote her new book on the 1872 Louisiana gubernatorial election and allege that the imagined voter suppression of today is on par with the real voter suppression of back then when such tactics included literal race massacres.

It’s a bad day for free speech. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the government may continue to pressure Big Tech companies to censor speech it disapproves of, and dissenting Justice Samuel Alito tore the outrageous decision apart.
