Lefty Pundit: ‘Ridiculous’ to Wonder Why Hillary Wasn’t Charged

It was “friggin’ obvious” that Hillary Clinton wasn’t going to face criminal charges related to her private email server, and the media dropped the ball by not making that clear, argued Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Marshall in a Tuesday post. “Given what we knew, criminal charges weren't even in the realm of reasonable consideration,” he stated. “You could find this out with just a…

AP: Thanks Only to U.S., UK's 'Leave' Vote Won't Lead to Its 'Demise'

Saturday at the Associated Press, aka the Admininstration's Press, Josh Lederman ran interference for President Barack Obama's conveniently timed Brexit vote flip-flop.

Randi Rhodes Return to Airwaves, Just in Time to Slam Hillary Again

Talk about timing -- a liberal radio host arguably best known for once labeling Hillary Clinton "a big f***ing whore" relaunches her show on the same day Clinton dodges prosecution after putting national security at risk through the use of private, vulnerable email servers while secretary of state.

Huh? NYT Links Downplaying Muslim Victims of Violence to Trump, Brexit

Gay Character on ABC Show: Marriage Is ‘Why God Invented Divorce'

Last year, ABC’s Mistresses tried to be all “edgy” with a storyline involving throuples and polyamory. This year they’ve followed the trans trend - with a bonus knock on Christian conservatives thrown in for good measure.

Media Celebrate ‘M.I.L.F $’ in New Fergie Song

News outlets are thrilled to have a new female role-model to cheer on. After a decade-long break, Fergie is back on the music scene with a brand new anthem, “M.I.L.F. $.” If you are still blissfully ignorant about what the acronym “M.I.L.F” stands for, it’s a slang term used to describe a sexually attractive woman with kids. Or, a “Mother I’d Like to F*ck.” The term was popularized in the teen…
