ABC Avoids Iowan Who Bluntly Challenged ‘Dishonest’ Clinton

ABC on Tuesday deliberately avoided a young questioner who challenged Hillary Clinton as “dishonest.”  Instead, Good Morning America reporter Cecilia Vega only played the Democrat’s response in which she touted her desire to help people. NBC’s Today and CBS This Morning both played clips of the “uncomfortable" question, but they also made sure to promote her non-answer.

Bill Maher Applauds Seth MacFarlane's Beyond Vile Attack on Jesus

When serial anti-Catholic bigots Bill Maher and Seth MacFarlane get together, it is a sure fire recipe for new lows in tastelessness.

Networks Cover Panda Cub’s Debut 26x More than March for Life

Contrary to popular media belief, the blizzard didn’t scare prolife marchers away. It scared reporters away. Either that, or their allegiance to the liberal agenda did the job. Tens of thousands of Americans filled Washington, D.C., Friday for the annual March for Life commemorating the nearly 60 million babies snuffed out since 1973’s Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. During their…

Supergirl's Not-So-Subtle Hit at Opponents of Illegal Aliens

In tonight’s episode of CBS' Supergirl, “Strange Visitor From Another Planet,” Senator Miranda Crane portrays a "bigoted" anti-alien politician rallying supporters with a message that monsters are coming for the families of National City. Clearly, Senator Crane is written to take a swipe at American politicians like Donald Trump who denounce America’s open borders.

Sympathy for the Devil: How ‘Lucifer’ Glorifies Satan

It’s been said, “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.” Fox’s new drama Lucifer seems hell bent on convincing the world he is harmless and sympathetic. Look no further than Fox’s slogan for the show, “He gives bad a good name.”

ESPN's Bob Ryan Calls Fellow Analyst a ‘Bible Pounding Phony'

So, just when you thought ESPN was beyond help, completely irredeemable, and more than happy to overlook any slight or attack on people of faith in order to uphold their completely biased, near company-wide anti-Christian bias...all of a sudden, they surprise you. A little, anyway.

Chris Hayes Hotly Denies Planned Parenthood Sold Baby Parts

If he wants, Chris Hayes can crow about the refusal of a Houston grand jury to indict Planned Parenthood. But for him to claim, as he did on his MSNBC show tonight, that PP did not sell baby parts is absurd. As the videos revealed, not only was PP selling body parts, one of its officials joked [we have to hope] that she wanted to get as much money as possible so she could buy a Lamborghini. To…
