MSNBC’s Chris Jansing welcomed author David Lipsky to her Friday show to promote his new book The Parrot and the Igloo: Climate and the Science of Denial and amid the usual lamentations about “deniers,” the duo appeared to blame the current state of the environment on Americans for not taking well to Jimmy Carter’s infamous 1977 sweater speech.

One can trace former President Donald Trump’s indictment by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg back to the media/Democrat belief that Trump’s 2016 election was illegitimate. Sure, some, like Hillary Clinton, questioned former President Barack Obama’s birthplace. And, after the 2000 Bush v. Gore Supreme Court decision, some, for a time, groused and called George W. Bush “president select…

PBS celebrated the return of the ancient “October Surprise” election conspiracy theory -- the unsubstantiated rumor that Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign, led by William Casey, delayed the release of the 52 American hostages in Iran in order to win election over Democrat Jimmy Carter.

Political humorist and satirist Andy Borowitz joined Walter Isaacson on Friday’s Amanpour and Company on PBS to discuss his new book Profiles in Ignorance which purports to report on the country’s growing anti-intellectualism.
