PBS Columnist (!): 'Alarmism Over Trump Is Dangerous For Democracy'

Pass the smelling salts. Last week, PBS, the public broadcasting behemoth, actually published a column by a clearly left-leaning Brookings Institute Senior Fellow which was mostly backed by reason and an understanding of the nation's constitutional framework.

Bias: 1,000 Minutes for Trump/Russia vs. 20 Seconds for Hillary/Russia

Here’s one top takeaway from network news coverage in 2017: Sneaky Russian influence in American politics is a huge story if it involves Republicans/Donald Trump, but a non-story if it involves Democrats/Hillary Clinton.

Nazis, Incest & Abortion: A Jam-Packed 'American Horror Story'

With storylines about gender-curious gerbils and killer clowns, American Horror Story: Cult has been pretty off-the-wall but, in the October 24 episode "Winter of Our Discontent," they managed to go off the deep end. The episode had everything, from a Nazi cop, to an incestual threesome, to a woman bleeding to death from an abortion.

ABC’s The Mayor continues to lower my expectations by falling from a semi-decent comedy to another run-of-the-mill left-leaning political sideshow. Just when it manages to be passable, the show reminds me just what side of the political spectrum they cater for weekly. This time, it’s a costumed appearance of people’s favorite “new” member of the Resistance Congresswoman Maxine Waters.
