If Not an Emergency, What Is It?

The flood tide of illegal immigrants crossing our southern border cannot and must not continue. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has said of it, “The system is broken and overwhelmed. It is a national emergency.” The definition of emergency might help focus attention: “A sudden, urgent, usually unexpected occurrence or occasion requiring immediate action.”

ABC, NBC Silent as CBS Spotlights Sex Abuse Accusers of VA Dem

It is possible to devote extensive coverage to a major Democratic scandal. CBS proved it over the last three days. Since Sunday morning, Gayle King on various programs interviewed the two women accusing Virginia’s Lieutenant Governor for over 33 minutes. In the same span of time, ABC and NBC offered no coverage to the claims of sexual abuse and rape against the politician.

WashPost's Probe Into CBS and '60 Minutes' Boss Died in Darkness

The Washington Post deserved credit for daring to report on another national media outlet when they outed the sexually aggressive behavior of CBS (and PBS) anchor Charlie Rose in November 2017. But Irin Carmon, a freelance reporter on that story alongside Post reporter Amy Brittain, is now spilling the beans in New York magazine on how the Post buckled on a follow-up story in 2018 on 60 Minutes…

Hostin Blows Up at McCain: ‘Obama Admin Was Indeed Scandal-Free!’

'Believe All Women?': Alyssa Milano Defends 'Inappropriate' Joe Biden

Ok Miss Milano, which one is it? Do we believe all women? Or do we just use that maxim to go after men we disagree with politically?

After Months of Denying, Cable Journalists Admit ‘Crisis’ at Border

Talking heads on liberal cable news are finally warming to calling the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border a crisis, at least since former Obama DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson blessed that term on the March 29 edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe.  But some of us are old enough to remember a time – barely two months ago – when cable hosts were screaming to high heaven that there was no such border crisis.

Amazon Sitcom: US ‘A White Nationalist Ethno-State' Run by 'Dictator'

Watching Amazon Prime’s British comedy series Catastrophe is like being at Thanksgiving dinner hoping to make it through the whole meal without any political arguments from your left-leaning relatives.
