CNN's Burnett: Isn't 'Thug' the Right Word to Describe Rioters?

Left-wing Democratic Baltimore City Councilman Carl Stokes thinks that use of the word "thug" to describer the rioters and looters who rampaged through Baltimore Monday night is code word for, well, the N-word. Stokes  Burnett by saying "you wouldn't call your child a thug if they should do something that would not be what you would expect them to do."

AP Omits Obama's 'Thugs' Mention, Carries Mayor's 'Thug' Use Apology

The language police came out in full force today, expressing outrage that President Barack Obama employed an accurate word — "thugs" — to describe many of those involved in Baltimore's three days of rioting. The PR flaks at a leftist media group went to a spokesperson for a Latino "organizing" group. He attacked Obama, not for using the word, but for having the temerity to apply it a "handful…

Clash at Papal Summit Over Climate Change Shows Debate Turning 'Nasty'

During a press conference in Vatican City on Tuesday, people described as “papal heavies” interrupted “an awkward question” being asked by Marc Morano -- publisher of the skeptical Climate Depot website -- who wanted to know what Ban Ki-Moon, secretary-general of the United Nations, thinks about climate change deniers.

CNN's Pereira Gushes Over 'Poster Boy' for Same-Sex 'Marriage'

On Tuesday's New Day, CNN's Michaela Pereira broke out the kid-glove treatment for one of the plaintiffs in the same-sex "marriage" cases being heard by the Supreme Court.

We Asked Same-Sex ‘Marriage’ Supporters: How Do the Media Treat You?

Same-sex “marriage” activists aren’t happy with the media – because, as some argued, there isn’t enough support. On April 28, the United States Supreme Court heard a controversial case, Obergefell v. Hodges, which questioned the constitutionality of same-sex "marriage." During the arguments, hundreds of LGBT supporters of the case gathered outside. We asked them how they think the media treat…

MSNBC: White Supremacy Doesn't Require Having a White Person Involved

As I demonstrated last week, MSNBC and CNN, the two also-rans in the cable news race, survive in large part because about half of their revenues are, once contracts are signed with cable and other providers, guaranteed for several years. This insulates them from much of the financial impact of declining viewership. MSNBC's far-leftism is particulary painful to watch — so painful that it's hard…

CNN Tries to Distance Hillary From Blaming Benghazi Attack on Video

Despite what you probably think, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not really blame an anti-Muslim video for the American consulate attack in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. What? You're sure you heard her make that claim? Well, according to the proposition of CNN Correspondent Elise Labott, quoting a Clinton aide, Hillary is absolved from blaming the video for the attack because she…

Mitchell Makes Excuse for Baltimore Mayor's Delay in Calling for Guard

Let's begin by answering Andrea Mitchell's question. "How would it have appeared" if Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake had called the Maryland governor to request National Guard troops just afer Freddie Gray's funeral? It would have appeared that she was doing her job, protecting people and property, rather than being overly concerned with photo-op politics. On her MSNBC show today,…

Ta-Nehisi Coates: ‘Disrespect’ For Baltimore Cops Warranted

In a Monday-night blog post, the writer for The Atlantic argued that calls for non-violence in response to the rioting in Baltimore are essentially “a ruse” and “a con,” given the city’s recent history of police brutality. “When nonviolence begins halfway through the war with the aggressor calling time out,” wrote Coates, “it exposes itself as a ruse. When nonviolence is preached by the…

Maher Is Stunned That Anyone Believes Clintons Are Motivated by Money

It is an alleged truth universally embraced on the left that only conservatives care about money. Little can be done to dissuade liberals from this core belief, not even the accumulation of vast wealth by liberals. In the wake of damning revelations about the money-laundering scheme known as the Clinton Foundation, left-wing comic Bill Maher is adamantly unwilling to acknowledge that Bill and…

Japan's Retail Sales Dive; Press, Pundits Want Even More 'Stimulus'

Japan just reported yet another awful retail sales result. Though it far exceeeded predictions of a 7.3 percent fall, the 9.7 percent March 2015 plunge compared to March 2014 doesn't reveal much, as March 2014 saw a splurge at the stores ahead of a steep sales tax increase which took effect on April 1. The really telling figure is the 1.9 percent seasonally adjusted dive compared to February.…
