PBS President Suggests Trump Will Shut Down Tiny Alaska Stations

AMC's 'Preacher': Jesus Fathered a Son, Lives in a Bunker

We’re past the point for me to say AMC’s Preacher has jumped the shark in terms of Christianity, but that certainly doesn’t stop the show from trying. This latest episode just introduced a background for Jesus Christ so crazy that Dan Brown’s asking questions.

Nets Barely Notice Venezuela’s Vote for Dictatorship

Venezuela’s president held a sham election on July 30 that created an assembly out of his own supporters, to bypass that country’s elected representatives and rewrite the constitution. But, inexcusably, the broadcast networks seem to be going out of their way to avoid reporting on this glaring example of how socialism inevitably turns out, if it’s allowed to continue unchecked.

Jezebel: No One ‘Gives A S**t About Children’ In Trump’s America

One example of this could be found in Monday’s edition of The Atlantic where contributing editor Peter Beinart mourned the end of an era.
