The New York Times reported a scandal when a collection of Nazi memorabilia caused a senior Human Rights Watch analyst to be suspended in 2009. But collecting Red China Mao Zedong memorabilia is apparently much more charming. On Friday, Times culture reporter William “Biff” Grimes promoted “Quotations of Chairman Mao: 50th Anniversary Exhibition, 1964-2014,” at the Grolier Club, displaying “…

It’s the new media frenzy: promoting BDSM. On Nov. 13, the second trailer for “Fifty Shades of Grey” premiered during an ABC commercial break and became available on YouTube. Based on the series by E.L. James, the film stars Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey, a BDSM-practicing billionaire and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, a college graduate who becomes his lover. Just like with the first…

In an interview With The Huffington Post, Thursday, former ABC weatherman Sam Champion, without naming his old network directly, blasted it as superficial. He also promoted the global warming agenda and declared he was on the side of "science." Champion sneered, "Let’s just say, on any given day if you’re watching a network morning show...I’m going to find a Dancing star, I’m going to find a…

Glamour Magazine’s “Woman of the Year” awards had the usual liberal tilt, including Obama’s U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power. The article on it begins with a goo-goo quote from UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon: “She is truly a woman of power for peace. She is a champion of global action through the United Nations.” Washington Post reporter Tara Bahrampour loaded up her Power puff piece with praise…

Since Politico was unable to ignore the Jonathan Gruber controversy, they now seem to be switching gears to downplay his role. Politico health care reporter Paige Winfield Cunningham has crafted a story using quotes to demonstrate that Gruber really wasn't an Obamacare architect. Ironically Cunningham herself as recently as July referred to Gruber as an Obamacare architect.  

Latest dispatch from the "dissent is patriotic" is dead front: Howard Dean has accused those who don't share his political views of being "authoritarian people who fundamentally don't believe in democracy." Poor Howard, who declared the times to be very "frightening and disconcerting," made his astounding accusation on today's Up With Steve Kornacki while attempting to explain the Republican…

Feminist author Margaret Atwood, on Tuesday’s Charlie Rose show, accused pro-lifers of chaining pregnant women to their beds to force them to have babies they don’t want.

Linda Greenhouse covered the Supreme Court for the New York Times for 30 years until accepting a downsizing buyout in 2008. She continues to write bi-weekly columns there. Greenhouse is absolutely appalled that the King v. Burwell lawsuit has gotten to the Supreme Court. As will be seen, she's also quite selective in her outrage.

While Obama’s Federal Communications Commission obsesses over liberal concerns like the under-regulation of the Internet and whether “Redskins” is a profanity, broadcast television is sleazier than ever. As The Hollywood Reporter recently noted, “Nearly two months into the fall, it's clear that explicit jokes and boundary-pushing storylines are changing the definition of what sexual content is…

“Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane messed up his one chance hosting the Oscars with a song called “We Saw Your Boobs,” outraging feminists from coast to coast. His image as a creep is only enhanced by the latest Twitter smackdown. Twitchy reported MacFarlane tried to take a swipe at allegedly oil-obsessed Republicans over the Keystone XL pipeline, and faced an embarrassing accusation by (much…

The New York Times and Washington Post both enthusiastically greeted the announcement of President Obama's plans (conveniently announced after the election, constitutional objections aside) to bypass Congress and declare amnesty for some illegal immigrants, or as the Times cutely put it, "to enforce the nation’s laws with discretion."

Waldman says the Fox audience believes the world “is going [to] hell,” and that the channel’s frequent airing of sexually oriented stories and images helps to reinforce that belief. "Fox is a channel for the conservative id, where you can have your darkest thoughts and worst fears nurtured and validated. And of course, there's nothing the id likes better than looking at half-naked girls."

Controversial  MIT professor Jonathan Gruber - in the headlines for repeated videotaped admissions of lying to the “stupid” American people in writing the ACA law has been tied to the hotly controversial issue of amnesty for illegal immigrants. An amnesty that would get around the prohibitions of the ACA that deny Obamacare to illegal immigrants by simply and directly removing the status of “…

Take-no-prisoners radio host Mark Levin is congenitally incapable of mincing words, and his visceral reaction to top Obamacare consultant Jonathan Gruber's jaw-dropping admission of the law's inherent deceit is wholly in character. How much longer, Levin asks, are Americans willing to tolerate a thuggish government "growing more tyrannical every day"?
