WashPost: Attacking Trump Is Good Business for Late Night Comics
The Washington Post knows a thing or two about being partisan as a business strategy. So the paper brought a rare level of expertise to a Friday article about how super-charging late night comedy shows with anti-Trump shtick is good for business and gaining a more loyal fanbase. According to The Post, being woke doesn’t work for all entertainers, but for many willing to commit to the political…
Nike -- From ‘Just Do It’ to ‘F*** the Police’
Unbelievably, Nike just made Colin Kaepernick -- of all people! -- the face of its 30th anniversary "Just Do it" campaign. Was it the cops-are-pigs socks that sold Nike on the toxic former NFL quarterback? The pro-Castro t-shirt? The America is not free tweet from Ghana? So many "great marketing" choices for Nike! Bleacher Report's Tim Daniels did not speculate on the reasoning behind Nike's…
The Undefeated Promotes LeBron James's Racial Discomfort
If you thought The Undefeated sports section was about athletics, you've gone to the wrong place. It's about racism ... all the time. This past weekend you could pull up The Undefeated to read about LeBron James' (see file photo from ESPN interview) history of discomfort with white people and learn how equality is only a "theoretical concept" for African-Americans. Writer Justin Tinsley alleges…
Despite Rocky Opening 'Jack Ryan' is Patriotic Fun
I'm a pretty big fan of the stories featuring Jack Ryan (there are more than 20 books by Tom Clancy, plus movies including Clear and Present Danger, The Hunt for Red October, and The Sum of All Fears), so I was delighted that Amazon Prime came out with a new series based on the American CIA officer called simply "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" on August 31.
NY Daily News Chastises White Males for Sexism, Racism
Today in the 21st century, we have a serious problem with white male sexists and racists who are dictating what women and minorities can wear on and off their playing fields. They're putting evolution on hold with their micro-aggressions of sexism and racism, complains Carron J. Phillips, the sports, race and social issues columnist for The New York Daily News.
Rohingya Woman with Failed Abortion Tells CNN: ‘I Love’ My Baby
It’s not everyday that CNN tells a story with a pro-life message, but the media outlet just did – by reporting on a woman who was tragically raped and failed an attempted an abortion, but then fell in love with her baby. On Aug. 27, CNN Newsroom covered the sexual violence suffered by the Rohingya at the hands of the Myanmar government. The exact number of rape victims is unknown, but CNN…
Neil Armstrong Biopic Skips Patriotism, Flag on the Moon
Sheila Jackson Lee was right! The astronauts must have planted an American flag on Mars because, according to Hollywood, they didn’t put one on the moon.
The new Neil Armstrong biopic First Man starring Ryan Gosling records the astronaut’s iconic small step, but ignores the other iconic moment from the 1969 moon landing: Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin planting the American flag.
Media Cheer Kaepernick Legal Win, Seek Trump Deposition
Colin Kaepernick's media apologists are crowing about his Thursday summary judgment phase victory after an arbitrator ruled his collusion case against the NFL can move forward. Media are calling it a big blow for the NFL, a big victory for Kaepernick, claiming the NFL may want to settle the case and speculating on Kaepernick's attorneys deposing President Donald Trump prior to the trial. The…
Lib Media Critic Toure: Arthur Ashe Is Kaepernick’s ‘Spiritual Father'
Touré was once a familiar face on CNN and MSNBC and currently writes for The New York Times, Washington Post, Ebony, Time, Playboy and other left-wing publications. He made waves and insulted a sporting icon this week by claiming in an NYT article that the notorious Colin Kaepernick is comparable to the late tennis player Arthur Ashe, a huge disservice to the former Wimbledon champion.
Netflix Mocks Christianity With Sexual Hymn ‘Sweet Jesus Inside Me’
From the endless mockery of Christianity and Christian beliefs, to the promotion of all kinds of sexual and gender identity exploration among minors and adults alike, to liberal issues like abortion, Netflix’s newest teen dramedy Insatiable is definitely not anything I would have let my kids watch when they were impressionable, teens. The series is rated TV-MA, but it's clear they're aiming for a…
Sarah Silverman to ‘Motherf***er’ Christians: I’m Mocking ‘Allah’ Now
A Jewish comedian is poking fun at “Allah” now, thanks to those Christian “motherf***ers.” On Wednesday, Sarah Silverman’s Hulu show, I Love You, America, released a trailer for its upcoming second season, which begins Sept. 6. In the clip, Silverman addressed her Christian critics by courting Islamic critics. At least one person found it funny: herself.
WashPost: ‘Conservative Catholic Media’ Trying to Take Down Pope
Fact: The Washington Post is anti-Trump. Scenario: a former Trump administration official writes an op-ed in the Post that contains an explosive accusation. When the press confronts Trump with allegation, he says “you have a sufficient journalistic ability to make a conclusion (Except Jim Acosta -- you’re fake news).” Then the White House goes silent on the issue, refusing comment.
Buh Bye! Costas (and His Politics) May Be Leaving NBC Sports
NBC Sports is about to become a lot more watchable. According to The Washington Post, the network is in talks to terminate Bob Costas’s contract: "Costas, 66, joined NBC Sports in 1979 and has long been a reassuring presence during the Olympics, Super Bowls, World Series and other national events. That role has changed in recent years with the arrival of Mike Tirico from ESPN, and with Costas’s…
Majority Opposes NFL Protests; Media on Wrong Side of History
An NBC-Wall Street Journal poll of 900 registered voters taken last week finds that 54 percent of respondents rate NFL anthem protests as inappropriate. In contrast, the overwhelming narrative of sports media is supportive of the protests, demonstrating once more that media are out of touch with mainstream American thinking.
