Hollywood Slams Prayers, Guns: ‘Vote These NRA Lovers Out'
Culture
Hollywood has its standards: President Trump isn’t allowed to politicize after a terrorist attack, but after a shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, actors and actresses can shred prayers, the NRA, and the GOP to bits and pieces.

'Shameless:' Another Show, Another Hot Take on Trump's America
Culture
The eighth season of Shameless kicked off on November 5 with one character being extra patriotic, and the show as a whole being more political. “We live in a world in which everybody is talking about what’s happening,” executive producer John Wells told Variety. “I have very liberal tendencies, but the one thing you can say about what is happening is it’s started a conversation. There is a…

Showtime's 'SMILF' is Crude Take on Motherhood, Mocks Prayer
Culture
I had very low expectations of SMILF, and the November 5 premiere “A Box of Dunkies and Two Squirts of Maple Syrup” lived down to every one of them. In only 30 minutes, the show fit in more crass content than most shows do in years on the air. Since there was no real theme to said content, aside from "gratuitous," I think it's best to introduce you to this show simply by walking you through the…
NBC Sports: Old and White Scully Opposes NFL Protests
Culture
Many in the media are so far to the left of professional objectivity in their support of the NFL player protests that they cannot accept any deviation from their standard narrative. So when retired L.A. Dodgers' broadcasting legend Vin Scully said he's protesting the protesters, they rushed to the attack, belittling him for opposing their precious social justice warriors.

Former Priest Comes Out of the Closet on 'The Exorcist'
Culture
So far Fox’s The Exorcist has been flying just below the radar with its new season. However, considering its previous slip-ups regarding the Catholic faith, it was bound to mess up sooner or later. I am sad to report that this week is that time.
After Social Media Furor, ESPN Loosens Restraints on Employees
Culture
In hopes of finally getting it right, ESPN keeps revising its social media guidelines. This time the Worldwide Leader (in liberal sports) shows "the right instincts," says ESPN Public Editor Jim Brady. In the second such revision of 2017, ESPN is basically throwing off specific restraints and trusting its employees to do right by social media posts. This comes in the aftermath of horrible…
USA Today Brags up NFL Team's Exploits, Belittles Senior Veteran
Culture
At first glance, it seems amazing that USA Today, a hardcore advocate for Colin Kaepernick and NFL protesters, gave space to anyone opposing disrespectful behavior. However, the story recognizing a retired military officer who declined an award at this weekend's New Orleans Saints' game in deference to NFL protests was actually written by a news reporter from another media outlet. USA Today more…

Rosie O’Donnell: ‘I Spend 90% Of My Hours Tweeting Hatred’ At Trump
Culture
Rosie O’Donnell’s best route to getting publicity is by bashing Trump. But late night talk shows can’t wait to hear her rant and rave.
Sarah Silverman Delivers Six-Minute Masturbation Monologue on Hulu
Culture
Here I thought Hulu’s I Love You, America with Sarah Silverman was starting to wind down after its shocking premiere and dismal follow-up episodes. This recent week proves to me that I should never expect anything less than the awkward at best, outright dirty at worst “humor” that comes from Sarah Silverman.
'Scandal' Boosts Lesbian Muslim As Next 'Gloria Steinem'
Culture
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?

'Grey's Anatomy' Informs Viewers It's Dumb to Put a Gun in Your Vagina
Culture
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…

'Superstore' Tries to Sell Socialism, Accidentally Sells Free Markets
Culture
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.
