To New York Daily News sports writer and racial conspiracy theorist Carron J. Phillips, the white helicopters are on the way and they're coming after black quarterbacks in college and pro football.

Celeb Ed Asner: ‘Right-Wingers’ Don’t Understand the Constitution
Angry old liberals are convinced that they are always right. So when actor Ed Asner was interviewed by the Daily Beast, he tried to discredit anyone who thought outside of the progressive box. When Craig Modderno asked Asner why he wrote his book, The Grouchy Historian, Asner replied smugly: “If right-wingers truly understood what the Constitution meant they wouldn’t use it as a crutch every time…

After Trump's New Year Tweets, Stelter Predicts Year of ‘Madness'
President Trump couldn’t complete his second day of tweeting in 2018 without shots at the liberal media. With a tweet early Tuesday night, he hyped the fake news awards he planned to give out at the start of next week. And it caused the liberal media to have a mental breakdown, as demonstrated by CNN’s Brian Stelter, who predicted nothing but “madness” for 2018 during his appearance on Anderson…

Bozell & Graham Column: Joe Scarborough Goes Off the Deep End
In July, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough showily announced to Stephen Colbert on CBS that he was leaving the Republican Party. No one at the RNC flew a flag at half-mast. The announcement was at least a decade behind the reality. In 2006, he called President Bush an idiot. Last week, he did the same with Trump. There is a consistency here from the man who craves attention. Scarborough is the MSNBC…

NBC, ABC Downplay the Size of Iranian Protests, CBS Questions Murders
The network coverage of the Iranian protests has been utterly abysmal. From ignoring them all together to downplaying the murder of protesters, the major news outlets have had to be dragged kicking and screaming to cover the spontaneous uprising. Tuesday was no different with ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News downplaying the size and expansiveness of the demonstrations. CBS Evening…

White House Press Begin 2018 with Clownish Questions on Football, Golf
On Tuesday, 2018's first White House press briefing showed that the media have picked up where 2017 left off by making fools of themselves with dumb and nonsensical questions. This time, topics included college football in red states, that infamous white box truck, and working during the holidays.

NBC Launches Series Praising Pot Legalization
Perhaps in a effort to compete with CNN featuring live bong hits during its New Year’s Eve coverage and excited by California’s plan to legalize recreational marijuana in 2018, on Tuesday, NBC’s Today began a new series dubbed California’s Green Rush. In a promo that aired during the morning show, an announcer declared: “California’s going to pot. From mainstream delivery to pot luck dinners. In…

Morning Joe: Trump Nominating Too Many ‘Young’, ‘White’, ‘Male’ Judges
On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, economic analyst Steve Rattner used a series of charts and graphs to deliver a supposedly straight, facts-oriented report about President Trump’s federal judicial nominations to date. However, Rattner could not help but devolve into standard left-wing talking points impugning Trump as a racist patriarch looking to deliberately exclude non-whites and women from the bench.

Michelle Williams, Daughter Have Had ‘Quiet Rage’ Since Trump Elected
The celebrity trend of bashing President Donald Trump is continuing in 2018 because, according to one actress, his win means that women “cannot do or be anything we want to be.” The UK’s February 2018 issue of Harper’s Bazaar featured Michelle Williams (The Greatest Showman) on its cover. Besides talking feminism and Hollywood scandal, editor Erica Wagner spoke with the 37-year-old star about the…

LA Times: 'Many Foreign Leaders' Say Trump Leads 'America In Retreat'
The Los Angeles Times reads like a Democratic rag with this headline: “Trump claims he's boosting U.S. influence, but many foreign leaders see America in retreat.” Naturally, that means “many foreign Obama fans and socialists don’t like where Trump is leading.” It took three Times reporters to assemble this “news” report, that China leads the climate-change crusade and Russia has taken over…

Rabbi to Singer Lorde: ‘Jew Hatred Has No Place’ in 21st Century
It’s ironic how liberal celebrities preach tolerance and acceptance but apparently possess neither. After singer Lorde announced her decision to cancel her concert in Tel Aviv, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and World Values Network took out an ad in the Washington Post to criticize her for her decision. While the ad went after Lorde, it also targeted the media in New Zealand, which influenced Lorde to…

NYT’s Passive Coverage of Iranian Protests Draws Mockery, Outrage
As the protests in cities and towns across Iran enter their sixth day, the New York Times has caught a lot of flak in the wake of its passive, often misleading initial coverage of the political uprising, as people rebel against the oppressive state, and shout slogans blaming the government for focusing on Hezbollah and Palestine while ignoring issues at home. The paper’s Tehran-based reporter…
