PBS President Suggests Trump Will Shut Down Tiny Alaska Stations
PBS president Paula Kerger appeared at the summer tour of the Television Critics Association to make dire warnings about PBS stations shutting down in Alaska if President Trump's plan to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting passes Congress.

‘Daytime Divas’ Lectures: Guns 'Almost Never Used in Self-Defense'
The season finale of VH1’s Daytime Divas goes ugly against the token conservative host and her right to lawfully carry a concealed weapon. In the July 31 episode titled “Whose Show Is It Anyway?” the hosts of “The Lunch Hour” discover that Heather (Fiona Gubelmann) conceal carries a gun in her purse.

Sporting News Writer Rips Kaepernick Detractors
Growing more impatient with each passing day of NFL training camp, Colin Kaepernick apologists in the media are now pitching their "entitlement tent" in Baltimore. There, the Ravens are razor thin at the quarterback position, and these media believe the team owes Kaepernick a rich contract.
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.
ESPN Throws Puerto Rico Curveball Into Pudge Hall Of Fame Coverage

MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts: Any Network That Hires Spicer Is Hypocritical

Slate: Trump's MS-13 Rhetoric Similar to Lynch-Mob Sympathizers
To vociferously oppose MS-13 is to, in so many words, descend from the rhetorical lineage of lynch-mob sympathizers in the Jim Crow south. So says Slate’s Jamelle Bouie in his Thursday piece “Make America Afraid Again”:
WashPost Shamefully Touts Hezbollah as Successfully Combating Terror
The Washington Post published Sunday about going on a tour backed by the US-designated terrorist group Hezbollah. With no counterbalance to the propaganda-laced piece, titled "Hezbollah takes journalists in Lebanon on a tour to prove Trump wrong," the article was anything but news.
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
Ah, Jezebel. In a society where children don’t sing on the streets for their dinner, the phrase “neo-Dickensian” doesn’t really apply. However, contributor Sarah Seltzer found it relevant in light of the Republican attempt to overturn Obamacare. After all, in her opinion, these times are “bloated by economic and social inequality.”
In her Jezebel article, “We’ve Stopped Even Pretending to Care…
Liberal Late Night Yearns for Obama: ‘Could Go a Week’ Without Mockery
The writers from liberal late night shows pine for the days of Barack Obama when they could go a whole week without making fun of the president.

AP Plays Up Transgender Soldier's 'Uncertainty' After Trump's Tweet

Atlantic Attacks Trump DHS Policies as 'Psychological Ghettoization'
The resignation of a key Obama DHS holdover, George Selim, has left many liberals seething as the department has begun to incorporate Trump policies. 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. Praising Selim as a stalwart conservative Republican who had wrongfully been misjudged, Beinart went on to…
