Salon Writer: GOP Now Home for Nutty 'Bolshevism of the Right'

Several decades ago, there were plenty of right-of-center Democrats and left-of-center Republicans. These days, however, almost everyone agrees that the Democrats have become a distinctly liberal party and the GOP a distinctly conservative party. One who disagrees in part is writer Conor Lynch, who in a Saturday article claimed that Republicans have transitioned out of true conservatism and now…

Sarah Palin, Hillary, and the Media's Woman Card

When is a woman not a woman? No, I’m not getting into Caitlyn Jenner. I’m talking about the recent gasp of horror in the media when Donald Trump accused Hillary Clinton of playing “the woman’s card.” The outrage was palpable.

Larry Wilmore Smears Fox News as Racist, Hails Obama as 'My N*gga'

CNN's Brian Lowry reported Comedy Central "fake news" anchor Larry Wilmore drew "groans and grimaces" on Saturday night with a typical White House Correspondents Dinner routine that leaned heavily to the left.

Media Fail: Bloomberg News Goes After Contrarian Blog, Beclowns Itself

That the establishment press despises New Media isn't exactly breaking news, but a lesser-known subset of that tension has just become more visible. As usual, an Old Media outlet is the smear merchant, and the New Media site has the upper hand on the truth. Mainstream business journalists really despise the financial and economics blogs which puncture the insufferable "the economy is just fine"…

Uh oh. Ted Cruz is really in trouble with the New York Times now, after attacking Donald Trump for saying people should be able to use the restroom of whatever gender they now identify with.

Red Eye Mocks John Kasich Imaginary Nomination Campaign Ad

Imagine John Kasich being nominated. Is that too tough? Okay, try this. Imagine a John Kasich campaign ad featuring his imaginary nomination. See, much easier. And also much more mockable which is exactly what Red Eye did on the Fox News Channel last night.

CNN Anchors Fret Tame Joke by Trump Was 'Stoking the Flames'

On Friday evening, during a discussion of violent protests at the Republican convention in California, CNN anchors Erin Burnett and John Berman on two different programs both seemed oddly worried that an innocent joke Donald Trump made about sneaking across the border would exacerbate tensions.

Meyers Hints Boehner's Lucifer Line Implies Cruz Is Worse Than Hastert

NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers has a clearly documented record against conservatives, but the show from late Thursday into Friday sunk to a new low as he cracked a joke about John Boehner’s Lucifer comments toward Ted Cruz as an implication that he’s worse than the now-revealed child molester Dennis Hastert.

CBS’s ‘Blue Bloods’: Cop Encounters With Black People ‘Don’t End Well'

On Friday night’s edition of Blue Bloods, titled ‘The Extra Mile,’ the vacuous rallying cry of the radical left was given air once again, as Detective Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) interrogated a black suspect who clearly has clearly spent far too much time reading DeRay McKesson’s timeline on Twitter.

Nasty Bill Maher on ‘the Bones of Prostitutes Rush Limbaugh Killed'

HBO host Bill Maher was his usual nasty self on Friday’s Real Time. Joking about Cuba and America’s relationship with the communist country, he sneered that the United States’s decades-old embargo “means endlessly patching up their old DeSotos and Edsels with whatever they can scrounge, old tractor parts, chicken wire, the bones of prostitutes Rush Limbaugh killed on vacation.”

Actual MSNBC Headline: 'The Monica Lewsinksy Jokes Are Back'

"MSNBC can't spell," joked a tipster on Saturday morning. There is was, posted since Friday afternoon at 3:42 -- a story headlined "The Monica Lewsinksy jokes are back." One could be making a pun, since President Clinton "finished in the sink." But there's no indication of a joke in the story. MSNBC reporter Jane C. Timm is deadly serious about this terrible trend of "bullying" Lewinsky with…
