NY Times Puts Feminist Air Conditioning Conspiracy Theory on Page One

Oh here we go again. Not long ago, the snarky radical feminists at Jezebel posed a question on their site asking, "Is Office Air Conditioning a Sexist Conspiracy?"

Jon Stewart's Lowest Moment: Hiroshima Makes Truman a War Criminal

How absolutely serendipitous it is that alleged comedian and actual White House propagandist Jon Stewart’s last broadcast of The Daily Show is today, August 6, the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan.

Press Ignores Hillary Bringing Back Her Southern-Accent Pander

In a Wednesday column, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman extended his odd obsession with raising the gas tax into the 2016 Republican presidential debate.

Fuzzy Math: CNN Misleadingly Claims 80% Want Abortion 'Kept Legal'

On Wednesday's New Day on CNN, co-host Alisyn Camerota took a Gallup poll that indicates a majority of Americans lean against most abortions being legal and tried to spin the numbers into a pro-abortion result as she misleadingly claimed that "eighty percent of respondents believe that abortion should be kept legal."
