Busy on Royal Baby Watch, Nets Ignore Jihad Against Mid-East Christians
By Matt Philbin | July 25, 2013 | 9:21 AM EDT

Everyone’s happy about the arrival of the future king of Britain – that is, everyone at leisure to take note. Presumably, Middle Eastern Christians have been too busy trying to survive to worry over whether the Duchess of Cambridge was in false labor.

And while the hard-nosed journalists at ABC, CBS and NBC have been knitting booties and speculating on names, Middle Eastern Christians have been attacked by Islamists, prevented from worshipping, driven from homes and villages, beaten and executed.

CNN Scrolls 'Child Pronounced Dead On The Scene' During Royal Birth Coverage Monday
By Noel Sheppard | July 24, 2013 | 11:17 AM EDT

Whoever was manning CNN's news ticker Monday clearly wasn't using his or her head.

Moments after the Royal birth, as CNN International anchor Becky Anderson reported the news live from outside of Buckingham Palace above a chyron reading "Duchess Catherine Gives Birth To A Son," a story about a three-year-old fatally shooting himself in Arkansas scrolled at the bottom of the screen concluding "Child Pronounced Dead On The Scene" (video follows with commentary):

HuffPo Hypes Hopes Royal Baby Will be Gay
By Lauren Enk | July 23, 2013 | 6:30 PM EDT

The royal prince is barely a day old, but already lefties are crossing their fingers in hopes that he’s gay.

Huffington Post hyped what may be the dumbest polling ever this morning – a survey claiming that a majority of Brits would react favorably if the son born yesterday to Prince William and Kate Middleton would come out as a homosexual in the future. The survey was conducted by the “lesbian, gay, and bisexual advocacy group Stonewall” (because, of course, they’d have an unbiased and objective viewpoint).

By Noel Sheppard | July 23, 2013 | 9:30 AM EDT

Jay Leno took a another comedic swipe at NBC Monday.

Early in his Tonight Show monologue, the host said, "I was a little bummed out because I was the one that was supposed to deliver the [Royal] baby announcement this afternoon at the hospital, and they replaced me at the last minute” with Jimmy Fallon.

CNN Royal Correspondent: Having a Boy First Time Shows 'How Brilliant a Royal Kate Is'
By Noel Sheppard | July 22, 2013 | 4:54 PM EDT

Not surprisingly, America's media are gushing and fawning over the birth of the newest Royal baby in much the same way they do any utterance by President Obama.

Take CNN Royal correspondent Victoria Arbiter who actually said moments after Monday's announcement, "This is how brilliant a Royal Kate is. There are women throughout British Royal family history that have panicked having not being able to deliver a boy. And here we are, Kate did it first time" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Saturday Night Live Does Entire Sketch About Kate Middleton's Vagina
By Noel Sheppard | December 16, 2012 | 10:13 AM EST

On a night when NBC's Saturday Night Live began with a reverential tribute to Friday's massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, the writers also had a perverse fascination with female body parts.

After guest host Martin Short mentioned kissing a vagina during his opening monologue, he later played a representative from Buckingham Palace instructing an Ob/Gyn, played by Bill Hader, how to treat and refer to Kate Middleton's vagina during her pregnancy (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):

CBS's Mark Phillips on Royal Pregnancy: 'Most Talked About Since Bethlehem'
By Matthew Balan | December 5, 2012 | 12:22 PM EST

CBS correspondent Mark Phillips took journalistic hype to a new low on Wednesday's CBS This Morning when he compared Princess Kate's pregnancy to that of Jesus Christ over 2,000 years ago: "This is day three of what's becoming, perhaps, the most talked about pregnancy since Bethlehem."

Phillips delivered this beyond bizarre throwaway line as he began his report outside the hospital in London where the Duchess of Cambridge is being treated for hyperemesis gravidarum - a severe form of morning sickness. He added, "The news today seems to be better."
