CNN’s The Lead spent almost six minutes on Tuesday discussing the Supreme Court’s ruling on President Trump’s travel ban with Minnesota Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison, but host Jake Tapper turned the tables on Ellison by grilling him for the remaining five minutes on his ties to anti-gay, anti-Semitic, and sexist Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

NYT: Pence Bad to Meet With Christians, Trump Bad Not to Meet Muslims
Should the Trump administration interact with religious leaders? It depends.

HuffPost Asserts Islam and LGBT Communities Go Great Together
Here’s a dilemma for liberals in the media: the only religion you ever actively defend is the only religion whose adherents toss gays off roofs. The very few attempts to reconcile these contradictory facts are generally as embarrassing as they are embarrassed.

HuffPost: Christians Need to ‘Repent’ for Anti-LGBT ‘Culture of Death’
Don’t you love it when lefties lecture you about your own Christian faith, twisting the words of Christ in an attempt to guilt you out of your own morals and standards?

Revolving Door Swings Wide Open as NBC Hires Ben Rhodes
There isn't enough room in a single post for all of the contempt and ridicule NBC's latest hiring move deserves.

Who…
NYT’s Selective Respect for Religion in Praise of Head-Scarf Student
The New York Times featured a university student in France who has become a liberal hero by embracing a tenet of fundamentalist Islam in the form of a headscarf. It’s jarring to read a Times article so gung-ho in support of a sign of religious fundamentalism, and which criticizes the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo without mentioning the massacre of 12 of its employees by radical…
