Last week, on the Thursday, September 23, The Ed Show, MSNBC host Ed Schultz touted inflammatory Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson as an example that other Democrats should be following, and, apparently oblivious to the history of partisan polls being notoriously inaccurate, treated with credibility a poll conducted for Grayson’s campaign which showed the Democratic incumbent 13 points ahead of…

Apparently everyone needs to take the President at his word when he says he is a committed Christian, according to MSNBC. The network's "Morning Joe" crew thinks that those who still question the sincerity of President Obama's faith are "haters" and "knuckleheads." During a townhall meeting at a New Mexico residence, President Obama proclaimed that he was a "Christian by choice." He said that he…

Since Bill Maher released a video of Christine O'Donnell saying evolution is a myth, the Left and their media minions have been falling all over themselves ridiculing the Republican senatorial candidate from Delaware.Throwing some deliciously cold water on the attacks Tuesday was the Weekly Standard's P.J. O'Rourke.Appearing on MSNBC's "Hardball," O'Rourke told the perilously liberal host after…

On Wednesday’s World News on ABC, anchor Diane Sawyer briefly reported on a court ruling in Florida which struck down a state law banning the adoption of children by homosexual couples.

The sexual revolution always seems to have another frontier. Indeed, the very idea of a “revolution” would be negated were there no frontiers to conquer. So deeper, ever deeper, we plumb the depths. Look at television. Every new frontier is just another titillating, initially shocking plot for a fictional or “reality” show, until there's a “new normal” and the novelty and naughtiness wears off.…
