AP, Media Show They Can Dish It Out But Can't Take It in EPA Spat

As of late Sunday afternoon, the Associated Press's coverage of potential contamination resulting from Hurricane Irma in Florida, certainly a legitimate issue, was remarkably measured. That dispatch's tone starkly contrasted with how the AP, without genuine basis, went after the U.S. EPA after Hurricane Harvey in Texas, and how childishly it reacted when the EPA pushed back hard against the wire…

MSNBC Hosts Fret There's Not Enough 'Climate Change' Discussion

Between Friday and Saturday, as Ali Velshi hosted some of MSNBC's live coverage of Hurricane Irma hitting Florida, the MSNBC host repeatedly pushed for there to be more discussion of "climate change" and how the U.S. government might try to effect it in the future. Ironically, on Saturday night, as Craig Melvin hosted MSNBC for a couple of hours, he fretted that there had not been enough…

Not Another Sex Show: HBO's 'The Deuce' Lives Up to Porn Label

The description of the newest HBO show The Deuce reads, “The story of the legalization and ensuing rise of the porn industry in New York beginning in the 1970s.” If a plot like that doesn’t make your stomach churn, get your supply of eye-bleach ready for what’s sadly up to be the latest hit show on HBO’s hands - because this story, along with HBO itself, is all too ready to remind us that sex…

WashPost's Babb Writes Kaepernick 'Not Quite an Activist'

America's two most liberal newspapers each ran lengthy features on Colin Kaepernick Thursday. Kent Babb's story in the Washington Post quotes an anonymous NFL owner saying no team wants his distraction. John Branch's New York Times' story details how Kaepernick morphed from a mild-mannered tweeter of motivational quotes into a notorious activist.

NYT Has No Fun With Fall Movies: 'White People Just Need to Do Better'

The New York Times’ most doctrinaire movie critics, Manohla Dargis and A.O. Scott, had another tiresome conversation hosted in Sunday’s edition injecting race, class, and feminist politics into the theatre-going experience: “When Even the Movies Can’t Unite Us.” They examined the fall and winter movie crop and found “while some of the season’s new movies will offer relief from real-world troubles…

New York Times Celebrates Oscar Wilde as a 'Deity' of the Gay Religion

Friday’s New York Times carried a front-page article on the Weekend Arts II section on a “shrine” to the Irish author Oscar Wilde as a “martyr of gay rights.” Times writer Ted Loos played up how Wilde would be portrayed as a “deity” at a nominally Methodist church in Manhattan – albeit one with the motto “A Progressive and Radically Inclusive Expression of God’s Grace.”

CBS’s Pauley Mourns With Hillary About Election Loss to Trump

With Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election memoir due to be released in the next couple of days, the two-time failed presidential candidate appeared on CBS News Sunday Morning for a sit-down interview with host Jane Pauley. And as would be expected from someone working for the company publishing Clinton’s book, there was almost no pressing from Pauley on what Clinton did wrong. But there was plenty of…

NY Times Accepts Full-Page Anti-Trump Ad from Venezuelan Despots

Ben Kew at Breitbart reported The New York Times ran an full-page advertisement on Wednesday paid for by Venezuela’s socialist regime, claiming President Donald Trump seeks to “manufacture a political crisis” in the country. Venezuela’s economy is a basket case, with dramatic shortages that led to protests and violence. Trump didn’t “manufacture” that. The Times is publishing fake news as an ad.

WashPost: Kaepernick's Absence Proves NFL Disrespects Humanity

Reasonable people can agree the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell are deserving of criticism for their mishandling of discipline and the game's ongoing concussion problem. Those are clearly shortcomings for the league. However, The Washington Post's Jerry Brewer, already a confirmed Colin Kaepernick cheerleader, lumps those universal concerns in with the Left's rally for the one man most…

Judy Woodruff Touts PBS Avoiding 'False Sense of Combativeness'

On Friday, the blog TV Newser posted a puffy interview with PBS NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff, touting her show and how ‘We Have Never Had As Many Smart, Talented Women Covering Washington As We Do Today.’ Woodruff cited all her liberal friends in that category. A.J. Katz began by touting the PBS ratings, and then came the obligatory gush for how PBS is somehow a civil ground where no one raises…

Liberal Journalists Lash Out at Rush Limbaugh Over Hurricane

So if you are a regular Rush Limbaugh listener - as I am - you heard Rush discussing the approaching Hurricane Irma this past week. And if you were paying attention, as I was, you heard him discuss the quite obvious fact that climate change believers (or science deniers as I call them) would be using Irma - as with Hurricane Harvey and others before that - as evidence of climate change. Aka:…

NYT Can’t Stand Cruz, Adores Liberal, Female Senators

The New York Times featured another jab at that reliable target of liberal media loathing, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. Reporters have been tittering at the thought of the fiscal conservative being obliged to change his tune to secure help for his home state of Texas, battered by Hurricane Harvey. NYT reporter Matt Flegenheimer took his turn in Saturday's “Trump and Harvey Push Cruz to Adjust His…

MSNBC's Sam Champion Stumped By Katy Tur While Touting Global Warming

On Friday's MTP Daily, as MSNBC weather contributor and former ABC News meteorologist Sam Champion talked up his belief that global warming is exacerbating hurricane activity, substitute host Katy Tur managed to throw him off with a predicable question that the liberal weather forecaster nevertheless had difficulty mustering up a response to. Champion was stumped for an answer when Tur wondered…

Trashing the Suburbs, George Clooney Style

Just in time for Oscar season, the Paramount Pictures film Suburbicon will be released this coming October. The film, starring far-left bomb throwers Matt Damon and Julianne Moore and directed by George Clooney, focuses on an Eisenhower-era couple’s move to the suburbs, expose their racism to those around them.
