Amazon Comedy: Trump Gives People 'Permission to Be Racist'
Amazon’s original series One Mississippi, which streamed its second season on September 8, focuses on a Los Angeles radio host, a lesbian named Tig (Tig Notaro), moving in with her family in Mississippi. The story follows semi-autobiographical scenarios based on comedienne Tig Notaro’s life, but the low hanging fruit of Trump-is-a-racist jokes, the modern day slavery remarks, and the jerkish…
Dem Gillibrand Blames Capitalism for Gun Violence on 'Chelsea'
To hear New York’s junior senator, Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, talk, you would think that the reason for random gun violence deaths was due to the sales of gun silencers. In the September 8, 2017 episode of Netflix’s Chelsea titled “Comfortably Naked,” Gillibrand describes the reason she left the ever-shrinking ranks of moderate Democrats to join in with the far-left wing crowd and, of course,…
Miss America Contestants Asked to Condemn President Trump
Though the ominous feeling of concern for those in the path of Hurricane Irma in Florida hung heavy in the air, the show must go on. Miss America 2018 on ABC aired September 10th and throughout the show, donations for hurricane relief were solicited for those affected in both Texas and Florida. Never fear, though. Politics dominated the final question competition and yes, it was all about…
AP, Media Show They Can Dish It Out But Can't Take It in EPA Spat
As of late Sunday afternoon, the Associated Press's coverage of potential contamination resulting from Hurricane Irma in Florida, certainly a legitimate issue, was remarkably measured. That dispatch's tone starkly contrasted with how the AP, without genuine basis, went after the U.S. EPA after Hurricane Harvey in Texas, and how childishly it reacted when the EPA pushed back hard against the wire…
MSNBC Hosts Fret There's Not Enough 'Climate Change' Discussion
Between Friday and Saturday, as Ali Velshi hosted some of MSNBC's live coverage of Hurricane Irma hitting Florida, the MSNBC host repeatedly pushed for there to be more discussion of "climate change" and how the U.S. government might try to effect it in the future. Ironically, on Saturday night, as Craig Melvin hosted MSNBC for a couple of hours, he fretted that there had not been enough…
Not Another Sex Show: HBO's 'The Deuce' Lives Up to Porn Label
The description of the newest HBO show The Deuce reads, “The story of the legalization and ensuing rise of the porn industry in New York beginning in the 1970s.” If a plot like that doesn’t make your stomach churn, get your supply of eye-bleach ready for what’s sadly up to be the latest hit show on HBO’s hands - because this story, along with HBO itself, is all too ready to remind us that sex…
WashPost's Babb Writes Kaepernick 'Not Quite an Activist'
America's two most liberal newspapers each ran lengthy features on Colin Kaepernick Thursday. Kent Babb's story in the Washington Post quotes an anonymous NFL owner saying no team wants his distraction. John Branch's New York Times' story details how Kaepernick morphed from a mild-mannered tweeter of motivational quotes into a notorious activist.
NYT Has No Fun With Fall Movies: 'White People Just Need to Do Better'
The New York Times’ most doctrinaire movie critics, Manohla Dargis and A.O. Scott, had another tiresome conversation hosted in Sunday’s edition injecting race, class, and feminist politics into the theatre-going experience: “When Even the Movies Can’t Unite Us.” They examined the fall and winter movie crop and found “while some of the season’s new movies will offer relief from real-world troubles…
New York Times Celebrates Oscar Wilde as a 'Deity' of the Gay Religion
Friday’s New York Times carried a front-page article on the Weekend Arts II section on a “shrine” to the Irish author Oscar Wilde as a “martyr of gay rights.” Times writer Ted Loos played up how Wilde would be portrayed as a “deity” at a nominally Methodist church in Manhattan – albeit one with the motto “A Progressive and Radically Inclusive Expression of God’s Grace.”
CBS’s Pauley Mourns With Hillary About Election Loss to Trump
With Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election memoir due to be released in the next couple of days, the two-time failed presidential candidate appeared on CBS News Sunday Morning for a sit-down interview with host Jane Pauley. And as would be expected from someone working for the company publishing Clinton’s book, there was almost no pressing from Pauley on what Clinton did wrong. But there was plenty of…
NY Times Accepts Full-Page Anti-Trump Ad from Venezuelan Despots
Ben Kew at Breitbart reported The New York Times ran an full-page advertisement on Wednesday paid for by Venezuela’s socialist regime, claiming President Donald Trump seeks to “manufacture a political crisis” in the country.
Venezuela’s economy is a basket case, with dramatic shortages that led to protests and violence. Trump didn’t “manufacture” that. The Times is publishing fake news as an ad.
WashPost: Kaepernick's Absence Proves NFL Disrespects Humanity
Reasonable people can agree the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell are deserving of criticism for their mishandling of discipline and the game's ongoing concussion problem. Those are clearly shortcomings for the league. However, The Washington Post's Jerry Brewer, already a confirmed Colin Kaepernick cheerleader, lumps those universal concerns in with the Left's rally for the one man most…
Judy Woodruff Touts PBS Avoiding 'False Sense of Combativeness'
On Friday, the blog TV Newser posted a puffy interview with PBS NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff, touting her show and how ‘We Have Never Had As Many Smart, Talented Women Covering Washington As We Do Today.’ Woodruff cited all her liberal friends in that category. A.J. Katz began by touting the PBS ratings, and then came the obligatory gush for how PBS is somehow a civil ground where no one raises…
Liberal Journalists Lash Out at Rush Limbaugh Over Hurricane
So if you are a regular Rush Limbaugh listener - as I am - you heard Rush discussing the approaching Hurricane Irma this past week. And if you were paying attention, as I was, you heard him discuss the quite obvious fact that climate change believers (or science deniers as I call them) would be using Irma - as with Hurricane Harvey and others before that - as evidence of climate change. Aka:…
