ABC/Univision Network Editor: Tax 'Fanatical,' 'Bigoted' Churches
On Monday, Fusion senior editor Felix Salmon echoed New York Times writer Mark Oppenheimer's call for the end of the tax exemption of religious institutions, but took it one step further: he called for the specific targeting of churches that "remain steadfastly bigoted on the subject" of same-sex "marriage."

Clarence Page: Gay Marriage Leading to Polygamy a 'Legitimate' Concern
Something you'll seldom see if the left's jingoistic victory dance over the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage is any indication -- supporters of same-sex marriage acknowledging that opponents express valid criticism that can't be ignored.
A seldom-seen example of this was on display during The McLaughlin Group over the weekend as expressed by Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page.

Salon: Hollywood ‘Gutless Weasels’ are ‘Scared of Gay Characters’
According to Salon, Hollywood’s not gay enough. Although entertainment TV has plenty of gay themes and characters, some are now demanding movies toe the line. “Why can’t movies do as well as TV when it comes to LGBT characters?” Salon’s Scott Timberg lamented on June 29, just three days after the Supreme Court declared marriage (and the 14th Amendment) meaningless. Well, there’s always one more…

Larry Wilmore: What's the Next Step? A President Who Is 'Gay-Married'?
Liberals have been celebrating since Friday’s Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage with late-night comedy hosts particularly exuberant about the ruling. Comedy Central’s Larry Wilmore was no different. He began his show Monday night by saying, “Let’s get this party started!” while a gay men’s choir decked out in rainbow colors sang behind him. But that wasn’t even the most outrageous…

CNN's Toobin Makes 'Parallel' Between Interracial and Gay Marriage
On Monday's Anderson Cooper 360, Jeffrey Toobin maintained that the comparison between bans on interracial marriage and gay marriage is “exactly a parallel situation.” After Cooper asked whether officials, in a hypothetical situation, could deny licenses to interracial couples if they had a religious objection, Toobin asserted: “Ted Cruz was asked that exact question today by Savannah Guthrie on…

Crowning Christie as Corrupt: The Media's Rush to Judge NJ Governor
Despite the liberal media's disinterest in pursuing investigations into Barack Obama's scandals, the case of Republican Chris Christie proves the existence of a blatant double standard. The New Jersey Governor, who will announce his presidential bid on Tuesday, endured a media frenzy when the Bridgegate scandal erupted 17 months ago. And, when they're not impugning him as a Nixonian crook,…

Pope Partners with Anti-Capitalist to Promote Climate Encyclical
Pope Francis’ call to action on climate change with his encyclical, Laudato Si’, has resulted in some strange and “radical” alliances.

CBS Hypes Donald Trump/NBC Battle as ‘a Problem’ for the GOP
While all three networks covered the decision by NBC Universal on Monday to cut ties with 2016 Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, it was the CBS Evening News that chose to veer off and portray the ongoing battle as “a problem” for the GOP as its “trying to develop Hispanic support.” In addition, the network touted Democrats as “determined to keep Hispanics in their camp” and declined…

Hillary Deleted Passages From and Edited Emails; Will Press Ignore?
Yeah, yeah. This post is about Hillary Clinton. The left and the press (but I repeat myself) insist that nobody cares about her scandalous behavior, or her evasiveness, or her demonstrated serial dishonesty. And even though a large and growing percentage of Americans don't trust her, that doesn't matter either, because she'll still get most of their votes. That's because no one wants to ever-ever…

ABC, NBC Fail to Label Far-Left Greek Government in Debt Coverage
In their coverage Monday night of the debt crisis in Greece, ABC and NBC refused to label the current Greek government as socialist, far-left, or even left-wing with ABC neglecting to even explain why Greece has found itself in such a precarious position as they stand to possibly default on their billions of dollars in debt and/or leave the Eurozone. In contrast to both networks, the CBS Evening…

Comcast-owned NBC announced Monday that they will no longer carry the Donald Trump-produced Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, and would be removed from the reality show “Celebrity Apprentice.” Diversity-uberconscious Comcast must have faced great internal and external pressure after Trump’s comments about Mexican immigrants and crime.
At the same time, Univision VP of Corporate Communications…
