Amazing. MSNBC’s Brian Williams departed his show, The 11th Hour, Thursday night for the last time, as noted here by NewsBusters own Curtis Houck. But earlier in the week, he was at the business of smearing the solidly conservative Newsmax Magazine with a blatant untruth.

A suicide just happened. Somewhere out there, maybe down the street or across town or in the next state, someone just took their own life. By the time you finish reading this, someone else will be in their final moments before taking their life. One hundred thirty-two times today, someone in the United States is going to commit suicide.

As the Supreme Court determines whether to preserve the Court-created “right to abortion” under Roe v. Wade, those on the feminist Left have gone into full-blown panic mode. Women's rights, they insist, will implode without granting women the ability to abort their children; only that ability can equalize the natural inequalities of biology, by which women are saddled with the burden…

People want “public” rather than “private.” Public is ... free, right? Wide open. Sharing. Available to everyone. All good things. “Private” is ... selfish, closed, for the rich. Clearly, public must be better. But then why do the words “public toilet” make me cringe? I think: dirty, smelly, ugly, maybe dangerous. Lots of people think that. I know because I watch tourists stare at the long…

As has been the case with so many other school shootings over several years, last week’s murder spree at Oxford High School in suburban Detroit might have been avoided if actions had been taken in the face of several obvious warning signs. Ethan Crumbley, 15, is charged with murdering four of his fellow students and wounding with intent to kill seven others. He has also been charged with…

Scratch a liberal and find an authoritarian. The latest evidence of this has come as the Mississippi abortion law reaches the Supreme Court. And right on cue, the lefty media types quickly stood up with anti-democracy rants.

A rambling Late Show host takes every side of the issue while denying reality. Stephen Colbert flirted with an early version of Cancel Culture back in 2014. Flash forward to 2021, and Colbert has a very different view of Cancel Culture. He jokes it doesn’t actually exist, for starters, ignoring the mountains of evidence to the contrary.

The death of composer Stephen Sondheim at 91 is more than the end of an era. It is the end of a chain of great Broadway musicals dating back to the 1920s when Jerome Kern’s “Showboat” first dazzled theater audiences. I met him only once. It was at Barbara Cook’s apartment in New York where she had invited a few friends following her performance of Sondheim songs at Carnegie Hall.

So the latest attempt to censor history and bully Americans into science has unfolded over there on the editorial pages of The Wall Street Journal. The headline on one notable editorial? "Censoring the Pilgrims;
The left wants to cancel the WSJ’s annual Thanksgiving editorials." By chance, this episode with the WSJ comes on the heels of the horror at Waukesha,…

Jason Reitman's fan-friendly sequel powered by family ties, '80s nostalgia. The new movie, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, does everything possible to connect with the franchise’s fan base. And it just wildly over-performed at the box office.

Before the right to keep and bear arms is stated in the Second Amendment, the Founders wrote why they believed it necessary for people to arm themselves as part of a “militia.” They said it is a “necessity to the security of a free state.” The Founders knew that liberty is not the natural state of humanity and must be defended against government authorities and lawbreakers who try to limit or…

Remember those “shovel-ready jobs” promised by the Obama-Biden administration in 2011? When many failed to appear after passage of this spending boondoggle, President Obama joked, “Shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected.” That law, noted Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW), cost $787 billion, of which $48 billion was supposed to go for infrastructure. It was disingenuously…

In Kenosha, Kyle Rittenhouse has now been found not guilty on all counts. Not content with setting a wildly error-filled left-wing narrative that Rittenhouse is a white supremacist, a racist, a vigilante – yada yada yada as Jerry Seinfeld use to say – MSNBC took things a step further.

Stranger Things star Matthew Modine took to Twitter earlier in the week and mocked teen on trial, right-leaning users set him straight. The actor shared a series of questions tied to the Kyle Rittenhouse case on the social media platform.
