ABC’s Scandal is continuing down the path of bringing social justice issues into the primetime slot though it is admittedly trailing fellow ABC show Designated Survivor. To save face, it looks like the show crams several PC elements into one plot by introducing the lesbian Muslim university student striving to be the next Gloria Steinem. Can we get anymore to the left at this point?

What did I just watch? I mean, I know I just watched the November 2 episode of Grey's Anatomy, "Come on Down to My Boat, Baby" but, in the larger sense, what did I just watch? It is truly amazing to me that this show is still on the air and, after this episode, I'm convinced that the only ratings it has are the people who watch it out of pure schadenfreude, those who watch it just to see what…

What made NBC's Superstore think that their viewers would want to watch an entire episode about health care policy? We really don't, however, in their November 2 episode, "Health Fund," that's exactly what they gave us.

Hollywood likes to think it adds something important to the political environment. Instead, it just seems to confuse people.  

Hollywood’s biggest open secret is quickly unraveling. The sexual predators aren’t the only ones responsible: the media was at least complicit in hiding their crimes. Bruce Steele, of the Asheville Citizen-Times, wrote in a personal essay that the LGBT magazine The Advocate knew that Kevin Spacey sexually harassed a 14-year old as early as the 1990’s, and still did nothing. Although the magazine…

Halloween might be over, but its impact is still being felt. I’m not talking about our added pounds from leftover candy. (In my case, every single piece as trick-or-treaters avoided my tiny cul de sac.) I’m talking about what the holiday revealed. In the case of Ezra Klein’s Vox (Motto: We write boring think pieces liberals can then pretend to read.) showed just how correct I was with last week’s…

Millions of Christians around the globe including world leaders like Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel, celebrated and remembered the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. Even secular news outlets acknowledged that Luther and the Reformation helped “lay the foundations for the modern world,” “contributed to the expansion of literacy” and more.

Halloween is when kids dress up in costume and parents share cute pictures of their kids on social media. Leave it to bitter liberal Hollywood to ruin one child’s picture. Donald Trump Jr. tweeted a photo of his daughter, Chloe, with the caption, “I’m going to take half of Chloe’s candy tonight and give it to some kid who sat at home. It’s never to early to teach her about socialism.” Socialist…

The focus of American Horror Story: Cult is, as the name would imply, on cult behavior. While that has been the overarching theme, the individual episodes have focused on things like post-election hysteria, racism, and sexual assault. This week, the episode itself actually focused on cults, and cult leader Kai (Evan Peters) said that modern politics are nothing but a cult of personality. 

In the October 31 episode of Blackish, the spookiest thing is their take on education. In the episode, "Public Fool," Junior (Marcus Scribner) gets expelled from his fancy private school, which makes him persona non grata at the other private schools in the area. With those off the table, there is only one choice left- public school. Like most things on Blackish, they have to make this a race…

ABC’s The Mayor has been leaning to the left more with each episode to the point where they openly advocate for left-leaning politicians. When that’s not possible, I guess they go for the next best thing: left-leaning supporters. This week, they remind us of the important and still totally relevant role of the union in society.

Few media have campaigned for the return of former Colin Kaepernick to the NFL as hard as USA Today sports writers Christine Brennan and Nancy Armour. They are heralding the Cuba-loving/cop-hating pariah as the NFL's top problem solver and its "most valuable voice."

How does defending sharia law translate into feminist intersectionality? For the Women’s March, it’s a key part of their work. Glamour Magazine is willing to buy into this fake intersectionality. The latest issue, named Linda Sarsour one of its Glamour 2017 Women of the Year. As a co-chair of the Women’s March, Sarsour has been honored by Time Magazine and defended by the New York Times as a…
