In an interview aired tonight on ABC's World News Tonight, Apple CEO Tim Cook told anchor David Muir that it was FBI incompetence that essentially led to the San Bernardino's county-issued iPhone to be locked up and its data inaccessible.

On Wednesday’s MTP Daily, MSNBC’s Chuck Todd washed the media’s collective hands by claiming it’s not the media’s job to vet a candidate because the information is already there for the other campaigns to cobble together into attack ads: “A common criticism you’ve heard is that Trump’s rise is the media’s fault, because we have enabled his rise. But, folks, you could argue that the media has also…

Hillary Clinton is still sticking to her "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" strategy as the reason she won't release transcripts of her paid speeches to big banks and Wall Street firms. She can do this because outfits like the Associated Press are covering for her. The only recognition of Mrs. Clinton's problem, beyond a strategically segregated story (more on that later), is buried deep…

Comedy Central's anti-Christian "humor" reached a new low on Tuesday's @ Midnight, after the game show used an image of a crucifix featuring a muscular Jesus to launch vile jabs at Christ.

Definitions help focus the mind and so here…

It probably shouldn’t shock anyone that Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday used a moment of great embarrassment for the liberal MSNBC and turned it into an attack on conservatives. On Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host related, “On MSNBC, they had a live report from an indoor gun range in Reno, which really gave us some insight into the current mood among GOP voters.”
