When the cases dwindle and the lockdowns finally end, the Show Trials are gonna be lit. In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio got to live the dream he must have had since he was a Sandinista fan-boy in the 80s: establishing a Coronavirus stasi and encouraging citizens to report social distancing scofflaws. In Tampa, the city’s newest gazillionaire resident was run out of a public park for…

As if sapping the joy out of the lunch hour for kids in public school wasn’t enough, Michelle Obama is back to treat all school age youngsters to some educational reading time. The Former First Lady recently announced her new show on PBS KIDS in which she will be reading classic children’s books for the youngsters dealing with quarantine.

Rosie (Fire Can’t Melt Steel) O’Donnell is back at milking her anti-Trump brand again. In a recent podcast interview with stand-up comic Marc Maron, O’Donnell insisted that the president will not be sitting in the oval office this time next year because he will lose the upcoming election in a “landslide.”

An undefeated boxer from San Francisco says he'll never lose to a white boy, and there's barely a whimper in the sports media world that normally has a quick trigger finger on stories involving racism. CNN, the New York Daily News and BBC websites covered the story, but the rest of the sports media -- including those who usually scream the loudest about racism -- saw no evil and heard no evil.  

The good news is that CW’s Roswell, New Mexico seems to have moved on from talking about abortion. The bad news is that now it seems comfortable showing alien threesomes. Somehow, this was not the step I was hoping this sci-fi series would take.

Some folks have had enough with snotty parents who want to exercise some autonomy over their kids’ education. Harvard Magazine decided to take shots at parents who homeschool their kids, because how dare those fools not allow a massive portion of their kids' formation be dictated by the government.

What a truly wonderful time it is to be alive. Not only can you get abortion medication in the mail while remaining safe and comfortable in quarantine, you also get your favorite Hollywood stars, like Jamie Lee Curtis, to give you friendly and smiling advice on setting up a “virtual meeting” with abortion doctors, so that you’ll never be confused on how to get rid of your unborn child, no matter…

Barack and Michelle Obama currently have a $50 million Netflix contract which they acquired with the help of a campaign contributor. Obama's former national security advisor, Susan Rice, is on Netflix's Board of Directors. The Obama's have parlayed their post-presidential into a very lucrative industry. The New York Post has even called Netflix "a propaganda machine for the Obamas."

Mike Florio at NBC’s Profootballtalk blog doesn’t want to sing Kumbaya, national pandemic crisis or no. And that’s cool. What isn’t cool is his nasty dishonesty in using his blog to go after NFL stars who don’t show enough contempt for Florio’s political enemies.

Washington Post sports columnist Sally Jenkins let fly Saturday morning with a thunderous literary salvo on President Trump over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her assault was highly personal and dismissive of the White House's Thursday announcement of a cautious, three-stage recovery plan.

Encouraged by media supporters, this week LGBT legal guns went to court to launch legal proceedings aimed at re-defining gender. They filed suit against two new Idaho laws banning transgender males from competing on women's public school teams and from changing their gender on their birth certificates. There was little neutrality visible in media accounts of the lawsuits, particularly with the…

Unfortunately, it wasn’t sordid enough for The CW’s Dynasty to include a scene with a priest and a parishioner kissing last week. This week’s episode, airing April 17, includes the two consummating their relationship.

The only thing less fun than being stuck in shutdown is being stuck in shutdown with shows like The Blacklist. The latest episode of the NBC drama not only lectures us about gun issues but does so through the mouths of criminals. What else can we expect after the show’s last grisly attempt at addressing political issues?
