Like the nag of a dripping faucet, the liberal news media spent years warning about melting glaciers and ice caps because of global warming. Media outlets predicted an “ice-free” Arctic time and again, and so far have been wrong. But with all the panic about melting glaciers, or sea ice, or ice at the poles the media have reported, one would imagine good news about increasing ice would at least…

“Fight for $15,” the slogan trumpeted by activists campaigning to more than double the minimum wage, got another boost from CBS right before the Republican presidential debate aired on the Fox Business Network.

House Republicans concerned about the politicization of climate science recently subpoenaed emails from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Lamar Smith, R-Texas, Chairman of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, sought emails related to a May 2015 study revised temperatures and eliminated a roughly 15 year “pause” in…

The media love a good scare and a sensational headline, but new research indicates the fear they spread about the dangers of sitting too much may be overblown. In recent years, media outlets compared sitting to health risks like smoking, and even warned “Sitting will kill you.” Today told viewers sitting was “literally killing us” back on Sept. 18, 2015. ABC’s Deborah Roberts even claimed…

In his new book “Good Profit,” Charles Koch said that in 2014 alone he received 153 death threats. That’s more than one every two and a half days.

It outlines the business model he and his brother used to create and sustain Koch Industries,…

The focus of the CNBC Republican presidential debate was supposed to be economic policy: taxes, trade, immigration and how to generate economic growth.

Bill Mann, freelance "humor" writer, who has been published by USA Today and the Huffington Post, got nasty with multiple Republican candidates for president during the Oct. 28, CNBC debate.

Today’s Hollywood liberals are so vicious that the few conservatives in their midst must operate in secret to preserve their careers. “If an actor comes out for Ted Cruz, they’ll be demonized,” actress Morgan Brittany told The Hollywood Reporter Oct. 22. “I was an actor for 50 years.

Ten months after the bureaucratic nightmare Obamacare was passed, there is even more evidence of its failure to live up to the promises made about it. Just like you can lead a horse to water but not force him to drink, you can make employers offer insurance, but you can’t force their employees to buy it. The media promoted the Affordable Care Act, but one liberal paper is now admitting another…

Mandates are a predictable liberal solution for problems both real and percieved. The Huffington Post proved it again when it argued for a federal mandate for paid sick leave, claiming a new study offered a “compelling” reason for the law. The attention grabbing headline from Oct. 21, claimed, “Flu Rate Would Decline Significantly If the U.S. Mandated Paid Sick Leave.” The numbers beg to differ…

The Democrats are determined to make the issue of gun control a presidential campaign issue, according to The Washington Post. And they already have the help of the news media.

It…
