Late Night Elites: ‘Defund the Police’

Chances are Seth Meyers, Samantha Bee and John Oliver aren’t calling the local police on a regular basis. The late night hosts are well compensated for their work, allowing them to live in neighborhoods where violent crime is something seen on their flat-panel TVs, not outside their windows.

ESPN Torpedoes Its Audience With 'WokeCenter' Programming

By force-feeding its viewers an unwanted diet of systemic racism and social justice, ESPN has thinned its viewership to an all-time low. The blundering miscalculation sank ESPN's audience this week to the lowest numbers in its 41-year history. Good luck defending this hair-brained strategy to your advertisers, ESPN.

WRONG: History Channel Tags Slave-Holding Confederates as Red States

The History Channel in late May produced a mostly laudable documentary series on Ulysses S. Grant, rightly hailing the legacy of the victorious Union general and president. However, the series contained what’s become a recurring problem in some historical reflections on the Civil War.

CNN Misleadingly Suggests Most Killed by Police Are Black

On Tuesday's New Day on CNN, the liberal news network's flagship morning show served as a microcosm of one of the big problems with how the media covers police-involved violence, exaggerating it into more of a racial issue than it actually is. The three-hour show highlighted three cases in which suspects died during arrests under circumstances similar to George Floyd's death.

LGBT Cancel Cops Demand NCAA Punish Idaho for 'Anti-Trans' Law

When the LGBT fascists say, "Jump!", the NCAA has a history of asking, "How high?'' LGBT activists are calling on the NCAA to leap again, this time by denying Boise, Idaho, an NCAA basketball tournament site next year.

Blitzer Interviews Fauci for 17 Mins on Virus, But Nothing on Protests

For someone with a long, legendary career in journalism, CNN’s Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer has been no better in the Trump era than fellow Zuckerville citizens Jim Acosta, Chris Cuomo or Don Lemon, offering partisan takes, snarky chyrons, and, omitting key facts or sides to a story. We saw that final point on Friday when he spent 17 minutes and 12 seconds interview the NIH’s Dr.…

The Five took its bite of the apple Thursday following Wednesday’s news that A&E would cancel the hit show Live PD on account of the fact that, in America 2020, the only acceptable assumption of police is they’re enemies of the people (unless proven otherwise).
