Bozell & Graham Column: The Night Obama Crushed the Comedian
The White House Correspondents Association throws an enormous annual dinner that’s a pillar of the Washington power-elite scene. This year they picked Stephen Colbert’s Comedy Central replacement, Larry Wilmore. He was seriously unfunny, and he knew it. But the media coverage made it clear that Wilmore suffered badly in comparison – not to Colbert, but to his opening act, “comedian-in-chief”…
Tossing a Tampon for the Planet: 'Free Bleeding...Saving the World'
I don’t know what it is with Vice.com, but they sure have a thing for the “free bleeding” feminist movement that’s become more popular the last year or two, thanks in part to a hoax by teenaged boys and when a marathoner ran – letting it all flow – right through light colored spandex pants, for all the world to see.
Now, in an effort to try and jump on the environmental bandwagon, claiming…
Michael Sam: If I Had Never Come Out, I’d Still be in the NFL
Michael Sam believes that the fact that he came out as gay, played a “huge part” in why he is no longer in the NFL.
Chris Hayes: Trump's a 'Hot Wet Rag Applied To Infected Wound'
By the end of this campaign, someone might come up with a more disgusting metaphor for Donald Trump, but for now Chris Hayes has the early clubbhouse lead.
On his MSNBC show this evening, Hayes called Trump "a hot wet rag applied to an infected wound." Imagine the outrage if a conservative described Hillary Clinton with a similar simile. Hayes was interviewing the MSM's favorite kind of…
Law Professor: Trump Is the Reagan Revolution ‘On Steroids’
Some on the left claim that Donald Trump is an ideological descendant of Ronald Reagan, never mind that Reagan was Mr. Conservative and Trump is Mr. Opportunist. Paul Campos, from the University of Colorado, makes a different Trump-as-heir-to-Reagan argument. In a Thursday Salon article, Campos opined that the Reagan revolution was less about right-wing views than “stupidity, celebrity, and…
Foreign Policy Magazine Calls Ben Rhodes an 'A**hole'
When reading the hallowed pages of Foreign Policy magazine, one hardly expects to see harsh locker room language. How harsh? How about calling someone an "a**hole" not only in the body of the article but in the title itself. But wait...there's more! Not only does FP writer Thomas Ricks call Barack Obama's foreign policy adviser an "a**hole" but also "an overweening little schmuck." In any event…
Marcotte: Marvel Has Ruined Captain America; Now 'Douchey Libertarian'
Writing one of the more bizarre movie reviews one will read for Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War, Salon’s Amanda Marcotte whined in a Friday afternoon post that the latest Marvel film morphed the “New Deal Democrat” Captain America into “a douchey libertarian” “who believe[s] it’s cool to belong to a secretive paramilitary that rejects oversight and accountability to the public.”
Gloria Steinem: Trump a Disaster, Hopes 'He Hangs Himself' in Campaign
Known for decades as a feminist, writer, lecturer and political activist, Gloria Steinem didn't waste much time before slamming presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as “a disaster,” part of "a “backlash” regarding women's rights, and someone she hopes will “hang himself” before the November 8 election arrives.
The 82-year-old liberal made those claims during an interview on…
Reporters Lob Softballs to Obama, He Tells Them How to Cover Campaign
During a White House press conference in the 12 p.m. ET hour on Friday, President Obama was treated to a series of softball questions from reporters, who repeatedly teed him up to bash Republicans and promote his liberal agenda. Reuters correspondent Jeff Mason got the first question: “Mr. President, what's your reaction to Donald Trump becoming the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party…
Lester Holt Hammers Trump Repeatedly, But He 'Winced' for Clinton
On Wednesday night, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt anchored the newscast from Trump Tower, which seems kind of silly since it’s four minutes away from NBC’s studios at Rockefeller Center. No one should mistake this for some kind of scandalous act of deference. Holt whacked Trump with tough question after tough question. For scandalous deference, we take you back to Holt on January 29 with…
CNN and NY Times Fail to Label This Convicted NY Democrat
Forner New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat, was sentenced to 12 years in prison Monday after being convicted last year "in a $5 million corruption case alleging he traded favors to enrich himself and then lied about it."
Perhaps cognizant of the fact that media watchers are looking over their shoulders, the primary dispatch and several other news stories at the Associated…
Chris Matthews' Melania Trump Leering Revives Erin Burnett Memories
Put a lid on your libido, Chris. The video of MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews caught on hot mic Tuesday night after Donald Trump won the Indiana primary has gone viral. Matthews could be heard in the background drooling over Trump's wife, Melania. Of course, that resulted in a major part of the web community laughing at Matthews. However, what most probably have forgotten is that nine years…
Jennifer Lopez Uses Hillary Clinton in Latest Music Video
In the opening to her new music video released on YouTube titled ‘Ain’t Your Mama’, Jennifer Lopez uses Hillary Clinton’s “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights” speech to feel inspired. Clinton’s speech sets the tone for the song, and is used as motivation for Lopez to dump a plate of food on a man’s head, throw a drink on another man’s face and dance like there’s no tomorrow. Simultaneously…
Maddow Hails ‘Indispensable’ Reid Getting Show Back; ‘It's a Blessing'
Making sure that it draws as many viewers as possible to avoid cancellation, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow repeatedly hailed the launch of Joy Reid’s weekend show during her eponymous show Thursday night as a significant move for “one of the smartest, best-informed, and most acutely observant voices in any media” that’s truly “a blessing” for news consumers.
