After the massacre by radical Islamists who killed 14 and wounded 21 more in San Bernardino, Calif., the New York Times took its tasteless grandstanding on gun control literally to the front, in a rare front-page editorial, "The Gun Epidemic" calling for bans on civilian ownership for certain types of rifles and ammunition. After joining the New York Daily News' anti-prayer brigade, the publicity…

The first wave of analysis after the mass shooting in San Bernardino suggested that this could be a right-wing militia or anti-government conspiracy. This is the default position of the anti-conservative press: unless shown otherwise, it was one of those right-wingers. Then they named the suspects, Syed Farooq and his wife Tashfeen Malik. Remote controls were surely tossed across America when…

Friday's NBC Nightly News and CBS Evening News both spotlighted the New York Daily News's latest anti-conservative front page, which denigrated Wayne LaPierre of the NRA as a "terrorist." CBS's Nancy Cordes touted how "the always-heated gun debate has gotten personal. The New York Daily News...called the head of the National Rifle Association a 'terrorist.'" NBC's Hallie Jackson played up the…

On Thursday, a voter in New Hampshire threw a tough question at Hillary Clinton about the feminist insistence that all rape accusers should be believed. So what about Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones, who accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault or harassment? Hillary said no. This is the kind of followup question George Stephanopoulos could ask on Sunday’s This Week – but…

Girls actress Lena Dunham is certainly preoccupied with all things related to lady parts. Dunham is venturing into nail fashion – more specifically, nail art showcasing...you guessed it -- "little boobs, butts, and vaginas"!  Talk about keeping it classy.

“There'll be scary ghost stories,” sang Andy Williams on a Christmas album of long, long ago. In a Monday post, Esquire’s Pierce suggested that “ghost stories” of a sort -- “obvious lies,” as he also put it -- have become part and parcel of Republican campaigning, and that “as with so many things, this all began with Ronald Reagan.” Pierce argued that Donald Trump is “the logical end product of…

As news of the San Bernardino jihadist shootings blared on airport TVs, I spotted a TSA monitor flashing the now ubiquitous message: "If you SEE something, SAY something." The warning should be followed with a big "LOL" and a winky-blinky, just-kidding emoji. It's one of the emptiest slogans in modern American life.

On Friday, the CBS This Morning anchors badgered Marco Rubio on his opposition to gun control. Gayle King touted Obama's words on the issue: "The President said...that it's far too easy for people to get weapons, and that we need to figure out a way to make it harder for them. In this particular case...it wouldn't have made a difference. But there are so many other cases it seems...that it would…

Patrick Healy reported in Thursday's New York Times that "Skittish Over Terrorism, Some Voters Seek a Gutsy Style of Leader." "Skittish" [excitable, easily scared] is a pretty condescending way to characterize the American public's legitimate fears of terrorism. But far worse is Healy's inference that Republican rhetoric on Syrian refugees had stoked threats against mosques. He also linked the…

With the unfolding news that Wednesday’s mass shooting in California was, in fact, terrorism, the main concern on MSNBC appears to be an anti-Muslim backlash by Americans and politicians. On Friday, Andrea Mitchell lectured, “In the midst of a political campaign where anti-Muslim rhetoric has reached a pitch that I have never heard in this country, not even after 9/11, this is a very concerning…

In response to the San Bernardino shootings on Friday, leftist actor Mark Ruffalo, best known for playing the Hulk in The Avengers movies, tweeted “Begin again…The Second Amendment Was Never Meant to Protect an Individual’s Right to a Gun” and an image and link from the article of the same name from The Nation. The article Ruffalo tweeted is about why District of Columbia v. Heller was ruled…

If you thought the liberal onslaught of blame on conservatives and Fox News before the San Bernardino shooters were identified couldn’t get worse, think again. On Thursday night, CNN’s Gary Tuchman badgered one victim’s wife to insinuate that the man was “asking for it” because he bothered to talk about religion at work.   On the Dec. 3 Anderson Cooper 360, Tuchman interviewed Jennifer…

After all of the breaking news about terrorist motives yesterday, Friday morning’s Washington Post was silly with the top headline “Motive elusive in deadly Calif. rampage.” The story even had a subhead admitting “Arsenal found in home of the two shooters.” It began with how authorities were “still trying” to locate a motive “even as they revealed the two attackers had amassed a large stockpile…

The liberal media often say more by what they don’t report than by what they do report – especially when it comes to topics that challenge a certain agenda. During the Friday morning news shows, all three broadcast networks censored Thursday’s vote to strip federal funding of Planned Parenthood. While ABC, NBC and CBS turned a blind-eye, other traditional media outlets and the pro-life movement…
