MSNBC's Tyler on Stone Arrest: 'Shtick Caught Up with Con Man'

On Morning Joe, MSNBC political analyst Rick Tyler takes obvious pleasure in the breaking news of Roger Stone's arrest, saying: "Roger Stone like Donald Trump is a political con man whose showman shtick has finally caught up with him . . .

Mermaid Drama's New Villain is Oil Companies, Off-Shore Drilling

Freeform’s sci-fi fantasy series Siren returned Thursday night and it looks like the second season is going to make a huge splash with a liberal agenda. Last year the perils of over-fishing was a subplot that came up, but it looks like already this year’s bad guys are going to be the evil oil companies. There were also some romantic feelings hinted at between a man, woman, and a mermaid, and now…

'Suck It!' Comedy Show Celebrates Birthday by Flipping Off Trump Tower

It’s 2019 and still Trump’s America so I guess it is to be expected that a young woman turning 30-years-old in Manhattan would feel good about flipping the bird at Trump Tower while celebrating her birthday. The gesture is filmed for social media, complete with skull emojis. How mature!

Rye: MAGA Hat 'as Maddening...and Triggering...as a KKK Hood'

During Tuesday’s edition of Cuomo Prime Time, host Chris Cuomo engaged in a discussion about the Covington kids with CNN Political Commentators Angela Rye and Andre Bauer. It did not take long for the debate to veer off course from its original topic; most of the discussion actually revolved around Make America Great Again hats, which Rye described as “just as maddening and frustrating and…

Shutdown Drags on: Nets Ignore GOP Efforts to Pay Federal Workers

With day 34 of America’s longest government shutdown having come and gone, federal workers are set to miss their second paycheck, effectively putting many of them in a pretty bad bind. But on Wednesday and Thursday, GOP lawmakers in the House looked to ease their suffering by trying to get measures passed that would allow furloughed workers to be paid without re-opening the government. It was a…

Antidote To Toxic Masculinity? More Male Cheerleaders

There's nothing like history in the making that also makes a statement against the scourge of toxic masculinity. It doesn't require a big, expensive Gillette-style ad campaign, either. It's the inclusion of male cheerleaders in the formerly all-female world of NFL cheerleading. And when the Los Angeles Rams take the field Feb. 3 for Super Bowl 53, two men will be there with them as members of the…

When Toxic Masculinity Meets Harry’s Razor

WASHINGTON -- Do you remember when rock 'n' roll took its turn for the worse? It was sometime in the 1960s when Bob Dylan and those in his thrall began singing songs about politics. Next came songs about our health. Soon it was songs about politics, our health and Eastern mysticism. By the time the rock 'n' rollers had moved on to vegetarianism and global warming, I had given up on rock 'n' roll…

Going Gaga Over the Ladies

The major media have gone gaga over the number of women newly elected to Congress and those announcing their run for the White House in 2020, with more female candidates likely to follow suit. But media's bias -- one of many -- is revealed in their focus on mostly liberal women with barely a mention, if they are mentioned at all, of women who are conservative. Reporters, commentators and hosts on…

Furthering a growing media narrative regarding the government shutdown, MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews and former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu (D) openly suggested on Wednesday (whereas other media types have insinuated it) that it could take a terror attack on America for Congress and President Trump to reopen the federal government.

Adorable: Fake News Jim to Publish Book to Make Us Feel Bad for Him

With much fanfare from the Associated Press and the CNN Public Relations team — err, Media team, it was announced Thursday that CNN chief White House correspondent, carnival barker, and pompous newsman Jim Acosta will be releasing a book on June 11 entitled The Enemy of the People: A Dangerous Time to Tell the Truth in America. Yes, really.

NBC News Op-Ed Slams Covington Kids: MAGA Hats 'Spoke Hate'

NBC News’s Think opinion website was plastered with hateful op-eds against the right Thursday targetting everyone from the Covington kids to Karen Pence. The Guardian’s Noah Berlatsky revealed the media's end game in his op-ed for the site,   mainly that the truth of what occurred doesn't really matter--this was all about the Make America Great Again hat students were wearing.
