Harris-Perry Refuses to Show at MSNBC: 'I Am Not a Token' or 'Mammy'

In an act of protest or perhaps a temper tantrum, The New York Times is reporting MSNBC weekend host Melissa Harris-Perry said she was refusing to go on her show on Saturday after several weekends of having her show pre-empted for campaign coverage. She said in an e-mail she felt “worthless” in the eyes of NBC News executives. “I will not be used as a tool for their purposes,” she wrote. “I am…

WaPo: Ancient Graves Prove Muslims and Christians 'co-existed'

The Washington Post’s Ishaan Tharoor says he wants you to know “What the ‘oldest’ Muslim graves in Europe can tell us about the past.” But he’s really more interested in what they can tell us about the future. If you couldn’t already guess, it’s a happy tale of brotherhood and cooperation between Muslims and Christians.

Gore’s Climate Reality Project Uses Kid to Browbeat Climate ‘Deniers'

Climate alarmists can’t stop harping on the so-called “consensus” about the causes and consequence of climate change, so much so that they’re using children to shame “deniers.” Climate Reality Project, a group former vice president Al Gore founded, promoted a video of an eight year-old girl shouting at an opponent, claiming that “97 percent” of scientists agree on climate change. Liberal media…

GOP Debate Recap: On María Celeste and Wasted Opportunities

At last night's GOP debate, Telemundo anchor María Celeste Arrarás was every bit as biased as we expected her to be. Far from taking pleasure in being right, we mourn yet another missed opportunity.

Despite the hosts of NBC’s Today repeatedly demanding that Marco Rubio attack Donald Trump just two days earlier, after the Florida senator did just that in Thursday’s GOP debate, Friday’s edition of the morning show led off with co-host Matt Lauer fretting: “Texas smackdown.

Pundit On SCOTUS Vacancy: GOP ‘Taking a S**t on the Constitution’

Scatology has typically been out of bounds in mainstream-media political commentary. (Not in all political commentary, of course. For example, actor John Cusack once called former actor Ronald Reagan “a criminal who used the Constitution as toilet paper.”) Nonetheless, Michael Tomasky went there in a Wednesday column trashing Senate Republicans for refusing to consider any Supreme Court…

Poor Hillary: Scarborough Asks Why Things Stick to Her But Not Trump?

We've used the metaphor before: this wasn't softball--it was T-ball. In the course of a lengthy interview that aired on Morning Joe today, a sympathetic Joe Scarborough asked Hillary Clinton: "the question is why doesn't anything stick to [Trump] whereas everything seems to stick to Hillary Clinton? It's got to be frustrating for you to see sort of the double standard." Double-standard. Got to…

No 'Spotlight' On Hollywood Child Rape

In the run-up to the November 6, 2015 debut of Spotlight, reviewers ailed it as an eye-opening account of the sexual abuse scandal in the Boston Archdiocese. But Hollywood has no interest in turning its ameras on itself, which is why the public's eyes have been shut tight from seeing a movie that documents child rape in Tinseltown.

Whoopi: Abortion Legal Because People Tired of 'Hanger' Abortions

Illegal abortions were rampant before legalized abortion, according to one View co-host. On Tuesday, The View focused on the defunding of Planned Parenthood in Ohio as a “hot topic.” After the ladies proclaimed they were “all pro-life,” liberal co-host Whoopi Goldberg took the opportunity to remind the audience why legalized abortion exists: because “people got tired of tripping over women” who…
