The fact that Boy Scout membership is limited to males has not always been newsworthy. However, in the current media landscape, such a “controversial” claim garnered three minutes of network airtime and copious online news coverage. 

The 39th Annual Kennedy Center Honors show on CBS is yet another awards show you probably don’t watch, but it actually honors people who do have talent. However, if we’re to believe host Stephen Colbert, that talent apparently also includes our lame duck president. Barack Obama has proven to be “passionate, intelligent, and dignified” over the past eight years, Colbert proclaimed as the audience…

Hyperbole has run strong this election cycle. Do you agree with these media predictions for the coming months? 

For liberal entertainment icon and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, progressive activism is a family operation. Now, he and his parents have coordinated a sweepstakes to raise money for Planned Parenthood. 

Although several entertainers have publicly refused to participate in Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities, the Rockettes are now scheduled to perform. Yet, that doesn’t mean every member of the troupe is happy about it.

Yes, it’s GQ. And yes, they don’t stand a metrosexual’s chance at a tractor pull of getting you to care who they think matters or not. Still, the glossy “men’s” magazine’s jokey annual list of the Least Influential People, written by Drew Magary, is instructive.

Finally, something sticks! After months of flinging just about every accusation they could think of against Trump et al, media lefties have hit on a charge that’s demonstrably, undeniably true: The Trumps have bad taste in art.

If any ensemble sums up 2016, it is the pantsuit—a sartorial statement representing power and progressivism. Hillary Clinton’s own rainbow array of suits inspired think pieces, Instagram accounts and even a highly popular invitation-only Facebook group called “Pantsuit Nation.” But on December 19, the pantsuit became a form of protest.

The last-ditch Electoral College revolt failed, so now Hollywood Lefties begin turning to other means to undermine the President-elect. Beau Willimon, the man behind the popular Netflix series ‘House of Cards,’ has been working on a new project that has nothing to do with TV. 

Pantsuit Nation—the secret Facebook group for first hopeful, then grieving, Hillary fan girls—has inspired an upcoming book based on members’ stories. However, when founder Libby Chamberlain excitedly broke the literary news, it sparked immediate division in the feminist camp. 

Shocker: there’s another Disney movie that the media wishes were more liberal than it actually is. When J.J. Abrams hinted earlier this year that the latest Star Wars film could feature a gay character, and then GLAAD decreed that the franchise needed more LGBT representation, many in the media were elated and had high expectations for Rogue One. When the film was finally released last week,…

As we close out a year in which the news media worked overtime to earn the public’s contempt, spare a thought for their little siblings at the Sports Desk. Sports hacks are just as liberal, insular and arrogant as their “hard news” colleagues, and their desire to be taken seriously means they inject politics and ideology into issues where they just don’t belong.

It’s never a good sign when you infuriate both sides of the abortion issue. Lena Dunham found out the hard way: Hollywood breaks boundaries on abortion every day, but certain limits do still exist.  

In Tuesday’s season two finale of Fox’s Scream Queens, titled “Drain the Swamp,” two random political references are tossed into the story. Perhaps that should have been expected, given the title of the episode – one of Trump’s campaign slogans, and the show’s history of political name-dropping.
