Last July, Alabama amended House Bill 494 to allow attorneys to represent the rights of the unborn child in cases where a minor was seeking an abortion. Predictably, the media certainly reacted negatively, calling it heinous, absurd, and insane.  On the Jan.15, “Daily Show,” correspondent Jessica Williams interviewed both sides – an Alabama civil rights attorney in favor of the law, Julian…

The right to life is a real side-splitter for lib show.

On Friday, CBS This Morning reported on news that Duke University had cancelled plans to have a Muslim call-to-prayer projected from the school’s famous bell tower at the Duke Chapel and, while Duke suggested that there were “several factors” that led to the decision, the segment prominently tied it to Rev.

(See page A-11.) Reporter Alex Cieply did not have the integrity to note that the Times will take money from the atheists and the Scientologists, but won’t allow a full-page ad to attack Islamists (they…

Will the networks cover?   On Tuesday, residents of Chicago’s South Side staged a die-in at Hyde Park Academy High School.
