Paper on ‘Changing Minds’ on Same-Sex ‘Marriage’ Retracted (Part 2)
As noted in my previous related post, one of the authors of a late-2014 study which made the nonsensical claim that “a single conversation (can) change minds on divisive social issues, such as same-sex marriage,” causing "a cascade of opinion change," issued a retraction last week, because the data supporting it was faked. Since it was published in Science Magazine — and because it conveniently…

Planned Parenthood: Scott Walker's Ultrasound Law Is 'Cruel, Not Cool'
While a guest on the Dana Loesch radio show, Wisconsin governor -- and likely 2016 presidential candidate -- Scott Walker defended a state law requiring women seeking abortions to get an ultrasound because if “more people saw” their “unborn child, they would choose to protect and keep the life of that unborn child.”
That comment drew fire from Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood…

Shock: NBC Ends Network Blackout on Clinton Shell Company Story
The latest network blackout concerning one of the Clinton scandals came to an end on NBC Thursday as a segment on Today by correspondent Andrea Mitchell mentioned an AP story from two days before exposing what appears to be a shell company run by former President Bill Clinton.

Forget Scandals, Hillary ‘Authentic, Relaxed, Engaging, Humorous'
While even MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell worried on Thursday about the “headwinds facing Hillary Clinton” amid the ongoing e-mail and Clinton Foundation scandals, USA Today Washington bureau chief Susan Page reassured her liberal journalist colleague: “You know, it's certainly true she has had a load of trouble in the national press, but you look at her appearance yesterday in South Carolina and she…

Nets Notice IRS Hacking; Punt on Holding Obama Admin. Accountable
The Big Three's morning newscasts on Wednesday and Thursday all covered the breach of an online IRS system by hackers that compromised the personal information of 100,000 taxpayers. However, none of the programs mentioned President Obama by name during their reporting, nor did they revisit any of the other problems or scandals involving the agency in recent years. CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly…

Actress Tells Teens She’s ‘Eternally Grateful’ for Planned Parenthood
It’s hard to critique personal stories – but not when the media use them to teach teens that they need Planned Parenthood.
In a recent piece for Teen Vogue, actress Mae Whitman detailed “What Happened During My Very First Pregnancy Scare.” Whitman (Arrested Development, Parenthood) described Planned Parenthood to teens as feeling “two arms pulling me into a hug” which led her to experience a…

ABC’s 20/20 Exposes Rampant Disability Fraud
In a surprising segment, ABC’s 20/20 highlighted several cases of freeloading by people looking to fraudulently claim disability. While the program did not get to the heart of the matter – just how easy it is to claim disability and the skyrocketing cost of the program – noting a major flaw in an expensive government program is rare for a liberal network like ABC.

Jorge Ramos Can Stay, It's Matt Lauer Who Has to Go!
I finally found a Mexican willing to do a job no American will do! I have an explosive book on the No. 1 issue in the country coming out next week, I've already written 10 New York Times best-sellers -- I'd be on a postage stamp if I were a liberal -- but can't get an interview on ABC, NBC or CBS.
Only Mexican-born Jorge Ramos would interview me on his Fusion network. Yay, Jorge!

Vulture Fascinated by Mattress Girl Mattress as Art; Skips Hoax Proof
The appropriately named Vulture section of New York magazine has circled over what all proof indicates is a rape hoax and swooped down to gorge itself on speculation about the museum art future of the mattress carried around by the infamous Columbia University "Mattress Girl," Emma Sulkowicz.

Paper on ‘Changing Minds’ on Same-Sex ‘Marriage’ Retracted (Part 1)
"Science" has a problem — or more accurately stated, those who produce and publish "scienitific" studies — have a problem. Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet, one of the leading weekly peer-reviewed general medical journals, caused quite a stir last week when he said that "much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue." That may be an underestimate.
One of the more…

WM CEO Tells CNBC: Recycling Unprofitable, So ‘People Don’t Invest’
The truth about recycling according to a waste disposal company may come as a shock. It is “unprofitable,” according to Waste Management (WM) CEO David Steiner.

'Game of Thrones' Books Boast 4 Times More Rape than TV Show
Half a cheer for HBO! It turns out the network’s graphic Game of Thrones TV series doesn’t feature nearly as much sexual violence as it could. Far from the usual Hollywood pattern of sexing up a story when bringing it to the screen, a fan has discovered the series actually shows many fewer rapes than George R.R. Martin’s books contain.
But the reason we know this is the violent rape scene…
