Bozell Column: Punk Rockers Knock Christmas

What’s been called the “war on Christmas” is often a case of secular liberals wanting to engage in Christmas denial. In the name of not wanting to offend people of minority faiths (or no faith), they remove the C-word from department-store catalogs and remove Christmas songs from public-school concerts, leaving us with lame messages about snow. But there’s another kind of Christmas denial:…

Leftists Pushing HHS to Pay for Sex-Change Operations Under Medicare

The latest edition of the gay newspaper The Washington Blade displayed what liberal newspapers don't find controversial: "Medicare to examine ban on gender reassignment." In other words, leftists are pushing the Obama administration to subsidize sex-change operations. We're posting enormous deficits, but the "progressives" are always searching for new entitlements. As usual, liberal…

2013, A Year MSNBC Would Like to Forget

During the past 12 months, NewsBusters has chronicled the downward fall of the liberal cable television network known as MSNBC. Not only has the channel dropped by double digits in prime-time and daily ratings, but the network also lost two of its most prominent hosts in very public, very embarrassing ways. As a result, L. A. Ross of thewrap.com noted in an article that the people in the “…

Piers Morgan Says Belief That Homosexuality Is Sinful Is 'Bigoted' and

On his Thursday show, CNN's Piers Morgan confessed that Christians who believe homosexuality is sinful are "bigoted," and argued that parts of the Bible are "utterly ridiculous" and "offensive."

It’s Duck (Commander) Season on Lefty Sites

Hell hath no fury like the gay left scorned, as “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson is currently learning. (Whether he cares or not, is another matter.)  The self-proclaimed “Bible-Thumper’s” views on homosexuality, published in a January 2014 GQ interview spread like wildfire in the media. Robertson was charged with making “anti-gay” comments such as, “It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—…

MSNBC's Taylor Invents 'Hypocrisy' Charge Over GOP Views on Duck Dynas

On Thursday's PoliticsNation, MSNBC political analyst Goldie Taylor ludicrously saw "hypocrisy" in Republicans speaking out against A&E possibly firing Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson while opposing ObamaCare's contraception mandate as she failed to note that ObamaCare, as opposed to the Duck Dynasty controversy, is an issue of forcing employers by law to obey the government in spite of…

In Light of Decreased Global Temperatures, It's Time to Take a Look at

International media outlets deserve credit for reporting accurately on the redistribution schemes that flowed out from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. But they should follow up by asking some hard questions about scientific assumptions that have not materialized. Since the planet appears to be getting colder rather than warmer, it would seem that public policy…

N.Y. Times Makes Space on Front Page to Honor Pornographer Behind 'Scr

The New York Times is growing fond of the front-page obituary, and it’s not just for global figures like Nelson Mandela. This pseudo-prestigious spot can be reserved for the best-remembered denizens of the gutter. On Friday’s front page, the Times hailed Al Goldstein, the local pornographer who published Screw magazine, with the headline “A Publisher That Took the Romance Out of Sex.” (Three…
