NPR: Time to ‘Get Lucky’ for St. Paddy’s Day
OK, try to follow this: It’s St. Patrick’s Day. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. There’s a silly old saying about “the luck of the Irish.” “Getting lucky” is a term for having sex. So of course NPR had a “Get Lucky” promotion featuring R&B songs about sex. How else would you logically celebrate St. Patrick’s day?
Government-funded National Public Radio (NPR) touted, “Get Lucky On…

BBC Censored Gay Muslim's Inquiry in 'Free Speech' Forum Held at Mosqu
In a conflict that pits two politically correct minority "victim" classes against one another, which one will win out? That's a fun parlor game to play, and today across the Pond it seems the answer is observant Muslims when the conflict involves the aforementioned and gays, even if the gay person in question is, himself, a Muslim.
Breitbart London managing editor Raheem Kassam has the story…
Rachel Maddow Rants Against Michigan Conscience Measure, Calls It 'Rap

Strange: Mika Spins Steamy Story of Having Been Held 'Hostage' in Sout
As an embarrassed Joe Scarborough said, Mika Brzezinski didn't have her "filter on" this morning. On today's Morning Joe, Brzezinski broke out a lurid tale of how as a young woman she had been held "hostage" by the son of the President of Lebanon, who apparently had hijinks on his mind.
Scarborough had just teased Mika with a variation on his running joke of how she vacations in the south of…
PBS Touts ObamaCare Through Story on Prenatal Nutrition

Alabama Democratic State Representative Alvin Holmes, who recently created a firestorm by calling Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas "a very prolific Uncle Tom," was at it again on Tuesday.

NY Times Bemoans How Texas ‘Abortion Law Pushes Clinics to Close Doo
Last year, the Texas legislature passed sweeping legislation aimed at improving the safety of the state’s 44 abortion clinics. One year later, 20 of those clinics are closing their doors instead of choosing to make the necessary upgrades required to make their clinics meet surgical center standards.
In keeping with the liberal media’s objection to these new safety standards, the March 7th “…
TIME Religion Reporter: Sorry, Media, Pope Francis Isn't Changing Mind
It's amazing how eager the liberal media are to interpret anything Pope Francis says in a way that maximizes its potential as a sign that the pontiff is close to eschewing millennia of orthodox Christian teaching because of the shifting winds of public opinion. My colleague Matthew Balan noted such in his story yesterday, "CNN Grasps to Find Silver Lining for Liberals in Pope's Pro-Traditional…
CNN Grasps to Find Silver Lining for Liberals in Pope's Pro-Traditiona
On Wednesday, CNN's Daniel Burke gave liberal-tinged spin/extrapolation about Pope Francis's answer to an Italian newspaper's question about secular civil unions.

However, the journalist…

NPR Hypes Spain's 'Far Right Political Party Similar to the Tea Party
NPR's Lauren Frayer repeatedly emphasized the conservative ideology of the ruling party of Spain on Thursday's Morning Edition, as she reported on proposed legislation there that would be, in her words, "one of the toughest abortion laws in Europe – a near-total ban, except in cases of rape or threats to the mother's health." However, she didn't point out the left-of-center political…
