Lefty translates Palin’s pregnancy announcement.

While the left and its media water carriers celebrate the purging of the Confederate battle flag from the public and private spheres, they’re hyping the decision of retailers to pull Confederate-themed merchandise. But maybe they should take a look at what other ideology-related swag these stores and websites are selling.

Following the South Carolina church shooting, stores including Amazon, Walmart and eBay stopped selling Confederate flag merchandise. Media from USA Today to ABC covered the move as well as the three broadcast networks, with CBS’ Adriana Diaz recognizing the “pressure” that is “mounting in the business community” on June 24.

The media are only too quick to cover abortion (think Scandal, Orange Is the New Black) and gender identity (think Caitlyn Jenner) – and yet, those two topics didn’t make the cut as the networks hyped Pope Francis’ alarmist new encyclical about climate change.

The Vatican released the pope’s new encyclical, Laudato Si' on June 18. That day, all three broadcast networks reported that Pope Francis complained that the Earth was becoming an “immense pile of filth.” ABC, CBS and NBC also commented on the pope’s call for a “revolution on climate change” that he “did not sugarcoat,” but they censored the pope’s opinions that conflicted with the liberal media agenda on abortion and gender.  

Mientras los contenidos sobre cambio climático de la nueva encíclica del papa Francisco  han sido ampliamente reseñados por Univisión, Telemundo y MundoFox, otras enseñanzas claves del documento papal sobre el aborto y género han sido completamente ignoradas por estas cadenas.

The broadcast news shows have hyped climate change in Pope Francis’s new encyclical – but did they hint at his arguments on abortion and gender identity? Short answer: No.

The Vatican released the pope’s media-hyped encyclical, Laudato Si’, on June 18. Out of the three broadcast networks, only NBC and ABC commented on the “climate change” publication from the “popular pope.” They also emphasized the church’s “moral call to action” on climate, skipping other moral calls to action networks ordinarily disdain – from prolife to traditional views on gender.

 Neither story mentioned the encyclical’s repeated recognition of the human embryo as a human being – or Pope Francis deeming “valuing one’s own body in its femininity or masculinity” as “necessary.”

A good mother does what’s best for her children, even if that means “wiping ’em out” before they live “miserable f*cking lives” – or so Orange Is the New Black argues.

Netflix released the 3rd season of Orange Is the New Black (OITNB) Thursday night. In the first episode entitled “Mother’s Day,” the inmates and staff of Litchfield Penitentiary organize a party with games and face-painting for visiting children. In the show, Big Boo (Lea DeLaria) used Freakonomics to validate her fellow inmate’s aborted babies that would become, she says, “meth-head white trash pieces of sh*t” leading “miserable f*cking lives” –a speech the media applauded. 

The “number one advice” Elizabeth Banks has for high school girls has nothing to do with hard work, self-confidence or chasing dreams.

In a Variety piece entitled, “Elizabeth Banks on Becoming a Director, Mentoring Young Women,” news editor Alex Stedman spoke with actress Elizabeth Banks (Spider-Man, The 40-Year-Old Virgin) about her recent accomplishments, including Banks’ “directorial feature debut” in Pitch Perfect 2. At the end of the interview, Banks revealed her “biggest advice” to high school girls: birth control.

She’s been everywhere – in your kids’ lunchroom, in hip-hop songs, making frowny faces on Twitter and peering out from just about every magazine at the checkout counter. More particularly, she’s been on your TV. Until "Caitlyn" Jenner came along, Michelle Obama may have been the most overexposed woman in America. 

Clearly, the media revels in having a glamorous, liberal FLOTUS, as they celebrated her hair, dresses, arms, gardening, personal chefs, etc. etc. etc. And after six years, it’s still going on. On May 21, CBS gushed over the “impressive” first lady working out in a “GimmeFive” health campaign video – and the total number of her media appearances reveal even more. 

Miss Piggy is pro-choice. 

On June 3, Miss Piggy received the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art’s First Award at the Brooklyn Museum and publicly announced, “Moi is a feminist!” In a follow-up interview airing June 6, MSNBC reporter Irin Carmon took the opportunity to ask Miss Piggy, “Are you pro-choice?”
