Angry Chuck Todd: 'I’m As Pissed Off As Anybody Else Is at Washington'

During an interview taped with CNN's Brian Stelter on Friday, incoming Meet the Press host Chuck Todd didn't agree with a question dealing with “this perception” that the long-running Sunday morning news and interview program “is broken.” Todd replied, “I think what’s quote-unquote broken is the credibility of us in the media channeling the frustrations of Americans.” Todd was even stronger with…

War on Christianity Still Alive and Well in America

Many reject the notion that a good segment of our popular culture and of our political class is at war with Christianity. But this is a real war -- not a phony one, such as the left's manufactured "war on women." This hostility toward Christianity is a global phenomenon.

Reuters Editor at Large Likens U.S. Death Penalty to ISIS Beheaders

While promoting a book of news photography on CBS This Morning on Saturday, Sir Harold Evans, editor at large of the Reuters news agency, called the electric chair a “monstrosity” and said seeing a picture of one was “almost as appalling, in its sense, as these barbarians who have taken the heads off journalists in the desert.”

Fox's Andrea Tantaros Owes No 'Islamophobia' Apology

Jon Stewart Hailed for Pushing 'Vegetables' of Global Concern

The Hollywood Reporter announced that Jon Stewart’s new film “Rosewater” debuted at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado. Their headline was “'Rosewater' Director Jon Stewart Receives Hero's Welcome.” Apparently, Stewart is a hero when he shows up at film festivals where liberals cluster.
