On Thursday's New Day on CNN, during a discussion of President Donald Trump's speech in Poland, CNN international correspondent Christiane Amanpour at one point hinted that those who are "denying climate science" are similar to those who used to think the planets and sun revolve around the Earth as she recalled Trump's decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Accord.
Daily Show Co-Creator Wants to ‘Shatter Abortion Stigma’
Would you pay money to see The Vagical Mystery Tour, a comedy show that wants to “grow activist bases” around reproductive rights, namely abortion? Lizz Winstead, co-creator of the Jon Stewart Daily Show and writer for Trevor Noah’s version, organized this tour, hosted by the Lady Parts Justice League, in order to cross over from “anger fluffing” into activism. As bizarre as that sounds, it is in…
NYT Finds Real Charlie Gard Tragedies: Trump, Pope, U.S. Individualism
In Wednesday’s New York Times, Dan Bilefsky and Sewell Chan reported from London on the tragic medical and legal controversy around the infant Charlie Gard: “Baby’s Illness Grows Tragic on Global Stage.” The text box declared the science settled, and the opinion of world leaders that the baby’s life should be fought for a mere nuisance that promises to make things worse: “Support from the pope…
CBS Bemoans Lowering on Min Wage in St. Louis, Ignores Seattle Study
In late June, economists at the University of Washington published a study that showed just how harmful the $15/hour minimum wage hike was for the city of Seattle.

MSN Defends Kaepernick for Finding His Independence in Ghana
Numerous media sites reported today on NFL pariah Colin Kaepernick tracing his roots back to Africa.

TSN Advocates for New Masculinity in Baseball
This is not my father's issue of The Sporting News anymore. A minor league baseball writer fronting as a major league LGBT activist for the publication claims Major League Baseball has a problem with "toxic masculinity" and that by allowing "Christian Night" at the ballpark, teams are negatively offsetting "pride nights." If Jessica Quiroli, alias #heels on the field, had her way, baseball would…
Salon: Republicans Stole Class Warfare, Left Needs to Take It Back
It’s a tried and true leftist refrain, imbued with all of the condescension and paternalism that begot a reality TV star’s run to the White House: if only those rubes in America’s heartland knew better, they would never vote for small government economic policies. They’re too busy, to use the Obama formula, clinging to their guns and religion to see the paradisiacal possibilities of social…

Nets Ignore ABC Defamation Settlement With Beef Company
The broadcast networks have refused to cover the conclusion of a massive defamation case involving one of their own. ABC News and Beef Products Inc (BPI) reached a confidential settlement which concluded a 5-year-old lawsuit as of June 27. BPI filed a $1.9 billion lawsuit against ABC News in 2012 for reports that the company’s lean finely textured beef (LFTB) as dangerous “pink slime.” ABC may…
CNN's Cuomo Frets 'Chilling Effect' of GOP Pushing Voter ID
On Wednesday's New Day on CNN, as Missouri Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft appeared as a guest, co-host Chris Cuomo wrongly claimed that Missouri Republicans were pushing new voter ID efforts during an election as he suggested that they were doing so to deter people from voting through a "chilling effect."
