CNN's Zakaria Touts 'Transformational' Obama Vs. GOP 'Implosion'
On Sunday's Fareed Zakaria GPS, host Zakaria began his show by touting what he viewed as President Barack Obama's accomplishments as evidence he has been a "transformational" President, while also giving some "passive" credit to Obama for a Republican party "implosion."
Boston Globe Offers Fake Sunday Front Page Mocking President Trump
Sunday is not April Fools’ Day, but the Boston Globe is running an enormous prank – a fake front page (dated 2017) satirizing President Trump.
The banner headline reads: “Deportations to begin, President Trump calls for tripling of ICE force; riots continue.” The main story includes mentions of Attorney General Chris Christie, and Fox News star Megyn Kelly tweeting from a bar because she’s been…
NPR Asks If It's 'OK to Profit' From Cooking Food of 'Other Cultures'
Since National Public Radio is a taxpayer-funded liberal sandbox, you can find examples nearly every day of NPR conducting a conversation with its liberal audience on all the liberal obsessions of the moment, like the new political-correctness theme of “cultural appropriation,” like being mad at Justin Bieber for wearing dreadlocks, because that’s a black thing.
This week, NPR asked “When Is It…
Hollywood Media Cover for Azealia Banks Rape Rant Against Palin
Talk about a slam dunk news story for our celebrity-saturated times. Unexpurgated rapper Azealia Banks launched one of the nastiest personal attacks against a politician in recent memory. How gross was it? Even Donald Trump wouldn’t stoop this low. Not on his worst day.
The target? Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The attack? Banks wished a group of large black men would gang rape Palin. Why…
CBS’s ‘Blue Bloods’: Every ‘Tribe’ That’s Come to America Struggled

HBO's Maher Likens Cruz to 'Rat' and Pedophile 'Jared from Subway'
On Friday's Real Time on HBO, host Bill Maher was again aiming crude personal insults at GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz -- this time likening him to a "rat" and to convicted pedophile Jared Fogle of Subway restaurant fame -- and Republicans, this week recommending that the GOP give up on winning the presidential election because the "teabagger" Congress is so effective at being "…
Self-Aware? Bill Maher Slams Baseball Star as 'Very Arrogant' 'D-Bag'
Grant Brisbee at SB Nation is having fun with the notion that “Bill Maher, comedian and talk show host who has built a successful, lucrative career based on a smug, arrogant brand of comedy, apparently thinks that Bryce Harper is too arrogant.”
“There are villains, and there are villains,” Maher said on WOR radio in New York. “Just something about him that is very arrogant, and of course that’s…
WashPost: Asad Shah's Death Had 'Nothing to Do With Christianity'
Two weeks ago, yours truly posted on a very inadequate March 26 U.S.-distributed Associated Press story out of Glasgow the previous day (since expired) about the murder of Asad Shah. Despite the fact that far more information was known at the time, the wire service would only acknowledge that "the killing of a Muslim shopkeeper who wished Christians a happy Easter is being investigated as '…
Two Cheers for Bill Clinton: Standing Up for Free Speech (Sort Of)
Former President Bill Clinton has done something exactly right. And he deserves to be applauded for doing so - even at the peril of ruining his reputation because this conservative is going to praise him. (And I’m not alone in this, either.)
Uh-oh. Wait. No sooner did he do something right…than, alas, he “almost” apologized.
Blogger: Cruz Takes GOP’s ‘Bizarre’ State-Level Agenda National
During Barack Obama’s presidency, Republicans have greatly increased their power at the state level, enabling governments in North Carolina, Wisconsin, Kansas, and other locales to enact legislation that Daily Kos blogger Hunter has called, among other things, “straight-up crooked” and that has caused, among other things, a “financial clusterfuck.”
In a Friday post, Hunter theorized that one…
People Mag on Trump: Hitler? Or Just the Cause of America's Collapse?
While People magazine has long been a pliant propaganda partner for Democratic presidents – they’ve gushed over the Clintons and the Obamas – Donald Trump is being questioned about his similarities to Hitler in an April 11 cover story.
“Who is the real Donald Trump? He's volatile, savvy and, some say, scary,” proclaimed the cover. People senior editor Charlotte Triggs and political reporter/…
Time: Republicans Face ‘Painful Choice’ With ‘Hated’ Cruz
In a cover story for the April 18 Time magazine, Washington bureau chief Michael Scherer described the “painful choice” Republicans face over embracing the “hated” Ted Cruz. The cover featured a close up of the Republican senator with the headline, “Likable Enough?” Regarding Cruz’s Wisconsin win, Scherer skeptically wrote, “It was something to see when the most hated Senator in Washington began…
Irony: NYT's Krugman Accuses Sanders of 'Petulant Self-Righteousness'
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman might be fresh out of friends before this campaign season is over. While his sanctimonious and classless attacks on Republicans have rendered him an unreliable political analyst, his recent assaults on the “Bernie bros” -- supposedly sexist Hillary-bashing Bernie Sanders' supporters -- have earned him new enemies on the left. On Friday, Krugman went for a…
Bozell & Graham Column: HBO's Fetish for Mapplethorpe
HBO shocked the world on April 4 by unveiling a 100-minute documentary honoring the legacy and legislative career of Sen. Jesse Helms.
Delayed April Fool’s. No, instead, they did feature Senator Helms – as a villain to kick off a 100-minute documentary deeply honoring the life and art of Robert Mapplethorpe, the infamous anti-Christian, penis-obsessed purveyor of sadomasochistic black-and-white…
