The Environmental Protection Agency may be a controversial spot right now as they’ve bungled into polluting a river and are waging a war on coal. But in The Washington Post Magazine on Sunday, EPA boss Gina McCarthy was awarded a syrupy Q&A from reporter Joe Heim titled “Creating the environment for change.” First softball: “Okay, please finish this sentence: Anyone who doesn’t believe…

Today on ABC's This Week, Jonathan Karl reported that "Platte River Networks, the Colorado company which set up (Hillary) Clinton's servers, told ABC News that it's highly likely that a full backup of the server was made, meaning those thousands of emails she deleted may still exist." This from all appearances huge development has only drawn the interest of several center-right blogs and outlets…

George Orwell said, "There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them." If one wants to discover the truth of Orwell's statement, he need only step upon most college campuses.

Former Newsweek reporter Michael Hirsh is now with Politico, but one consistent threat of his writing has been a fondness for the foreign policy “doves.” His latest Politico piece on the Iran deal is headlined “Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama and the Jews: Why does America’s Jewish community always condemn the presidents who save Israel?” One can imagine Israelis doing a spit take on that headline.…

Oh she went there.  If you weren’t grossly disgusted with Rosie O’Donnell before, I bet after reading what she she’d like to do to pro-lifers, you will be now. She granted an interview to SiriusXM satellite radio, and raged against the so-called "war on women."

On Sunday’s Meet the Press, NBC’s Chuck Todd reacted to his trip to the Iowa State Fair by admitting that he “was stunned at how many -- how easily it was to find these Democrats willing” to criticize Hillary Clinton over her e-mail scandal among other issues. 

Appearing on Sunday’s This Week, conservative radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt maintained that the ongoing issues surrounding Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server were “more than a problem, it’s an indictment” of her. 

Univision/Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos recently appeared on CNN’s Reliable Sources with a myriad of hot takes on the GOP primary debate and set-your-clock predictable results. When Ramos does these sorts of appearances on English-language media, he is cast as the “voice of the Hispanic community”. I happen to believe that “mainstream media ambassador to the Hispanic community” would be a more…

On Friday’s Washington Week, PBS’s Gwen Ifill and her two panelists, Washington Post reporter Karen Tumulty and CNBC’s John Harwood, did their best in trying to defend Hillary Clinton from the ongoing controversy surrounding her use of a private e-mail server while Secretary of State. 

It’s Sunday, so it’s not shocking The Washington Post has found a way to bash religion. It came in announcing the new contest of “The Style Invitational,” a weekly reader humor contest. The new game was creating a limerick. Bizarrely, to illustrate the challenge, it selected a Catholic-bashing limerick from 2006 and then used a nasty caricature of a foam-flecked angry Cardinal. Sorry to be…

Liberals often lament “partisan and ideological media” and what they mean if Fox News Channel and conservative talk radio. They don’t mean the partisan and ideological media that agree with them. Liberal syndicated columnist Connie Schultz was selected by the partisan and ideological Washington Post to review former senator Gary Hart’s new book The Republic of Conscience, and that’s just how it…

Emily Shire at The Daily Beast thinks it’s a terribleidea for UFC champion Ronda Rousey to go head to head in the ring with boxing champion Floyd Mayweather. Why?  Because Mayweather has a history of domestic abuse (he’s been convicted of violence against women five times, though only served one sentence) and, as Shire writes: “A future fight between Rousey and Mayweather wouldn’t strike a blow…

“I will tell you that a very senior talk radio executive, somebody with responsibility for a large number of talk radio stations, expressed to me just this week his concern that talk radio as we know it could be largely gone in five years….” So spoke Randall Bloomquist, “a long-time radio executive and president of Talk Frontier Media ” as identified here in a Daily Beast article from back in…

Timothy Egan's liberalism, badly concealed in his previous guise as a news reporter for the New York Times, is in full and angry bloom in his columns, like "The Junk Politics of 2015," from the upcoming edition of the New York Times Sunday Review, mocking the Republicans with personal insults while dismissing Democratic problems. It included this howler: "At least one Republican wants to sic the…
