NYT's Semple Strikes Again With Anecdotal 'Islamophobia' on A1

It’s much like his previous, anecdote-heavy, statistic-free “…

Satanist Sprays Blood on Virgin Mary in CNN’s ‘Satanists Next Door’

It’s hardly a coincidence. Just in time for Christmas, CNN focused a full hour on Satanists – from hyping a “snake-tivity” display to defaming a statue of the Virgin Mary. CNN’s This Is Life with Lisa Ling aired an episode titled “The Satanists Next Door” on Sunday night (of course). In the segment, host Lisa Ling explored the “new satanic movement” that is “sweeping across the nation” – in…

Smerconish: Opposing Climate Change Will Damage the GOP 'Brand'

On two occasions during CNN’s live coverage Monday night previewing the sixth Republican presidential debate, CNN political commentator Michael Smerconish attempted to paint the issue of climate change and the deal reached in Paris as posing a “down ballot concern” for the GOP and causing “brand damage” since the party has largely rejected the ideal and declined to embrace the issue as a whole.

CNN Knows Just What America Needs: A ‘Muslim Jorge Ramos’

On the first Sunday after the San Bernardino attacks, CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter ignored that in favor of a one-hour program focused on Donald Trump. Then on December 13, Stelter talked to al-Jazeera host (and former CNN anchor) Ali Velshi, and again he skipped over the murders of San Bernardino. Syed Farook? Tashfeen Malik? Stelter's only villain worth discussing was Trump. Stelter…
