Al Sharpton entered truly ludicrous territory during an appearance Wednesday on Tom Joyner’s radio show.

Despite a flurry of scandals surrounding the IRS, the media still trust the government, and liberal groups, more than corporations.

Fox News host Megyn Kelly invited MRC president Brent Bozell to the airwaves to discuss a new MRC study on how about nine of every ten Easter references on network news are secular references to eggs, bunnies, candy, and not Jesus Christ.  As Kelly aptly summarized it, "Instead of talking about Jesus or faith, almost 90 percent of the network's newscast reports on Easter focus on fashion,…
