Liberal pundit Bill Moyers decided to “celebrate” the holiday season by posting a negative opinion piece from the Far Left that stated “the super rich” and the “vast inequality” between segments of the population “are creating a death sentence for government of the people.”
“This is the fight of our lives,” the managing editor of the BillMoyers.com website asserted, and how “the bipartisan disgusting spectacle” ends “is up to us.”
Since the Democratic Party tries to win national elections by cobbling together a coalition of minorities (including union members, feminists and climate change fanatics), it came as no surprise when Hillary Clinton's campaign staff attempted to reach out to blacks by combining their logo with elements from the Kwanzaa celebration.
The result was the usual capital “H” with an arrow in the middle – ironically pointing right -- with the seven candles representing the Nguzo Saba, or principles, of Kwanzaa.
Unfortunately for Clinton, this effort to show a bit of cultural competency has backfired.
While a panelist on Monday night's edition of the Special Report program, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer criticized President Barack Obama for “trying to convince us that we are actually prevailing, winning, pushing in on ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria).”
The regular contributor to the Fox News Channel program said that the Democratic occupant of the White House is wrong because the terrorist organization -- which is also known as ISIL, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant -- is actually “expanding” its territory.
Even though Hillary Clinton has been the front-runner for the Democratic nomination in the 2016 presidential race since she declared her candidacy in April, the former U.S. secretary of state is embarking on a swing of fund-raising events this week that will be hosted by such famous stars as actress Drew Barrymore and Sting, the popular musician.
This move is taking place after a recent NBC News poll showed that she still leads Bernie Sanders by double digits, but among millennials who were born between 1980 and the mid-2000s and represent more than one-third of the U.S. population, more than half support the socialist senator from Vermont.
As NewsBusters reported almost a month ago, Stephen Colbert -- CBS's new late-night talk-show host -- has been losing ground to Jimmy Kimmel on ABC and NBC's Jimmy Fallon, a drop that includes many Republicans and has sent him to third place among late-night viewers.
However, David Poltrack -- chief research officer at CBS Corp. -- has stated that a more dire threat The Late Show faces is not from other late-night programs but is the play-back of prime-time episodes recorded earlier in the evening.
During Wednesday's edition of ABC's The View program, co-host Whoopi Goldberg happily stated that GOP front-runner Donald Trump is “taking heat from all sides for his plan to ban Muslims from entering America.”
“Because we have freedom of speech in this country, he’s allowed to say what he wants to say,” the comedian said regarding the Republican presidential candidate. “However, there are consequences.”
Ever since the deadly shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., last Wednesday, several members of the media have tried to spread the blame from the “radicalized” Muslim couple who shot and killed more than a dozen people to other individuals who are “just as bigoted” as the murderers.
One of those people in the media is columnist Linda Stasi of the New York Daily News, who wrote in a Dec. 6 article asserting that the interaction between “two hate-filled, bigoted municipal employees” led to the deaths of “13 innocent people” who were killed in an act of “unspeakable carnage.”
During an interview with Cable News Network anchor Carol Costello on Monday, American Baptist Bishop Paul Morton -- who declined an invitation to attend a pastors' meeting with Donald Trump in New York City -- refused to assert that the GOP front-runner in the 2016 presidential race is not a Christian.
“As a Christian, as a kingdom representative, I care how you treat people,” the senior pastor of the Changing a Generation Full Gospel Baptist Church in Atlanta/Decatur, Georgia, stated.
During his weekly address on Thursday, president Barack Obama followed the motto “Never let a good crisis go to waste” by advancing his intention to bring 10,000 Syrian refugees to America and giving a brief historical lesson regarding the Pilgrims who came to this country almost 400 years ago.
“In 1620, a small band of Pilgrims came to this continent, refugees who had fled persecution and violence in their native land,” the Democratic occupant of the White House began. Even now, “we remember their part in the American story -- and we honor the men and women who helped them in their time of need.”
Students and faculty members at Smith College in Northampson, Mass., apparently tried to avoid a repeat of an “ugly episode” at the University of Missouri, where a communications professor was caught in a video calling for the removal of an instructor from an on-campus demonstration earlier this month.
According to an article written by Callum Borchers for the Washington Post, the pupils and teachers from the liberal-arts school held a sit-in on Wednesday to protest racial discrimination but didn't allow people from the media into the event – unless those journalists pledged allegiance to the cause.
After GOP businessman Donald Trump hosted an episode of NBC's long-running Saturday Night Live program -- which drew the show's highest ratings in four years -- the network has decided to give other Republican presidential candidates “equal time” to match the 12 minutes Trump appeared during the Nov. 7 edition of the show.
According to an article posted by Dylan Byers on the CNNMoney website, the unusual offer was made in compliance with the Federal Communication Commission's “Equal Time” rules,
In the two months since former Comedy Central host replaced David Letterman on CBS's The Late Show in early September, Stephen Colbert has been losing ground to Jimmy Kimmel on ABC and NBC's Jimmy Fallon, a drop that has sent him to third place in late-night viewers, according to The Great Late-Night Poll conducted by measurement firm Penn Schoen Berland for The Hollywood Reporter.
According to lead pollster Jon Penn, Colbert has brought his emphasis on left-wing politics to a much larger audience, a strategy that both Kimmel and Fallon usually struggle to avoid. However, “viewers want to be entertained and informed, which would expand the influx of political guests.”
During an interview in the Nov. 17 edition of the New York Times Magazine, Cable News Network anchor Don Lemon stated that if he wasn't a journalist, he “would probably be an activist” like Malcolm X, who was considered an advocate for the rights of blacks during the early 1960s.
The self-proclaimed “black gay” reporter made the comment after Anna Marie Cox asked him: “Do you have any idea what you would be doing if you weren’t a journalist?”
Almost a year after Rolling Stone magazine published an article entitled “A Rape on Campus” that claimed several members of a fraternity at the University of Virginia gang raped an anonymous woman, the fallout over the “flawed story that purported to expose a culture of rape” at the school continued on Monday, when the publication was hit by a third lawsuit over the supposed incident.
The new claim, which was filed in the nearby Charlottesville Circuit Court by the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity chapter at the university, seeks $25 million from the “magazine of pop culture and current events” for “presumed damages, compensatory damages and actual damages for harm and injury to its reputation,” as well as becoming “the object of an avalanche of condemnation worldwide.”
Presidential candidate Donald Trump certainly doesn't mince words when it comes to expressing his opinion on just about anything.
The GOP businessman continued that trend when he signed an online petition on Monday calling for the Cable News Network to fire “Republican strategist” Ana Navarro, who is also identified as a “political commentator” with CNN.
Don Lemon, an African-American anchor on the Cable News Network, is the target of a new online petition on the change.org website, where “a man of God and a man of the people” is calling for CNN to “remove” the gay host from its line-up, accumulated almost 33,000 signatures in just three days.
The new drive -- with a goal of 35,000 supporters -- was started on Tuesday, when black entertainer Jamell Henderson claimed that Lemon “has consistently antagonized and defamed the characteristics of African-Americans on the national scale in his mass communications instead of [stating] the obvious: the challenges that face African-Americans are real and that solutions need to be found.”
Have you decided what outfit you're going to wear on Halloween? Well, liberal actress and comedienne Lena Dunham has already made her choice and announced on Tuesday in her Lenny Letter email newsletter that she's going to dress up on Saturday, October 31, “as something newsy, sexy, and cool: a Planned Parenthood doctor!”
“The most successful Halloween costumes are classic but topical, sexy but funny, not too ugly and not too obscure, perfect conversation starters and ideal photo-ops,” Dunham wrote while explaining her choice for this year's outfit.
One of the most controversial remarks made by Hillary Clinton -- a 2016 Democratic presidential candidate -- during her interview with MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow on Friday night came when the party's frontrunner quoted “a number of surveys” that claimed “overall, veterans who get treated” in Veterans Administration facilities “are satisfied with their treatment.”
That remark drew a challenge from retired U.S. Marine Brandon Coleman, who on Monday told Elisabeth Hasselbeck -- one of the hosts of the weekday morning Fox & Friends program -- that he was prepared to give Clinton a tour of the Phoenix VA facility “whenever she wants to do it, unannounced.”
During Thursday night's edition of The O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel, host Bill O'Reilly tried to demonstrate the bad judgment of the Democratic National Committee allying itself with the Black Lives Matter movement, which has members who have called for violence against police officers in protests all across the country.
However, Keith Boykin, an African-American who once served as a special assistant to president Bill Clinton, aggressively asserted that none of the BLM leaders agreed with that concept -- so much so that the anchor had to turn off his microphone so the host and another guest could take part in the discussion.
Philippe Verdier, a popular weatherman on the France 2 television channel, found himself suddenly unemployed after publishing a book entitled Climate Investigation in which he charges the “climate change industry” is “a war machine whose aim is to keep us in fear.”
According to an article written by James Delingpole at the Breitbart news website, “this went down very badly with his employer, which is funded by the French government and is ideologically committed to promoting the global warming scare narrative.”
