Fallon Lets Cusack's Free Speech Advocacy Hypocrisy Slide
On its surface, actor John Cusack’s Wednesday appearance on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon may have been seen as a laudable tribute to the First Amendment, but given Cusack’s work in trying to thwart the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger simply because he disagrees with Paramount CEO David Ellison’s politics, it was actually an exercise in hypocrisy. Unfortunately, Fallon failed to…

The Emmy Awards ceremony on NBC largely ditched politics and focused on actual awards, a feat almost unheard of in contemporary Hollywood ceremonies.

Menendez Claims Abortion Fundraising Celebs Are 'Profiles In Courage'
Even by MS NOW’s standards, On The Line host Alicia Menendez put forth a stunningly moral and logically upside-down bit of activist journalism on Monday.

Jeff Daniels on Reagan-Reykjavik Movie: 'We Are All One World'
Liberal actor Jeff Daniels plays President Ronald Reagan in the movie The Brink of War about the 1986 Reykjavik Summit, but during a promotional interview with CBS Saturday Morning, he appeared to have completely missed the point of the story.
