This is a huge racket that's wrecking the country."  Did you guess Bernie Sanders? Probably not because you read the headline. Yet no one could be blamed for thinking it was Sanders. But indeed, it was Charles Koch, who said it in…

Many in the media have a fascination with scary stories, but oftentimes they're all to happy to ignore the real horror stories – especially when it comes to abortion. In response to the media’s censorship of abortion, the Media Research Center will host an #AbortionHorrrors  tweetfest from 10 a.m. until noon Nov. 3. The Twitter campaign will slam the media coverage of three ghoulish stories in…

On Monday night, Fox's Minority Report almost made it an entire episode without inserting any global warming fear-mongering. But, they just couldn’t help themselves.

CNN host Mike Rowe, took to his website to set the hyper-sensitive MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry straight on the meaning of the term “hard worker” and the difference between it and slavery. After noting “there is no longer a limit to what people can be offended by,”  Rowe writes: "First of all, slavery is not 'hard work;' it’s forced labor. There’s a big difference.

Blindspot, a show that has previously derided veterans, and blamed the CIA and American indifference to foreign suffering for two separate, anti-American terror plots, is scraping the bottom of the barrel in its search for cliché liberal boogeymen.

Truth, the cinematic attempt to make heroes out of the agenda-driven journalists who produced and broadcast the fraudulent 2004 CBS News story about George W.

The paper's work thus far has been a…

Those who hope that Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Mark Levin get to moderate a Republican presidential debate include Hannity himself, Ted Cruz, and Walsh. As they (almost) used to put it on Sesame Street, one of these persons is not like the others. Walsh, who recently joined The Nation after more than a decade and a half at Salon, argued in a Friday article that such a debate would benefit…

In his first interview with President Barack Obama since taking over as NBC Nightly News anchor, Lester Holt gave the President a friendly platform on Monday to promote criminal justice reform and his decision to send a small group of U.S. troops into Syria.
