CNBC's Harwood: Clinton Should Be Angry, Bitter at Media's Treatment

In light of the #MeToo sexual harassment movement that swept the nation this past year, more politicians and media types are facing scrutiny they may never have faced or at least haven’t faced in years.

Media, Celebs Slam SCOTUS’ Cake Ruling: ‘Abolish the Supreme Court’

Progressives in the media have no respect for the traditions and structure of the branches of the government. As soon as one issues a decision based on anything but liberal ideology, the world is over.

Toobin Claims Court Case Opens Door to Gay, Interracial Discrimination

Reacting to Monday’s massive, 7-2 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in favor of the Christian bakers with Masterpiece Cakeshop, CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin went into full-blown panic mode, claiming that “[t]his is certainly an invitation to people who discriminate against gay people” and opens the door to Jim Crow-like discrimination against interracial and interfaith couples.

Bill Clinton Freaks Out When NBC Asks Him About Sexual Harassment

During a very contentious interview with NBC’s Craig Melvin over the weekend and aired on Monday’s Today show, former President Bill Clinton lost it when the reporter actually pressed him on sexual harassment in light of the Me Too movement. The Democrat became testy and even accused Melvin of “omitting facts” about the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

NYT Women Debate Bee: 'Bully' or Calling Out 'Pink-Washing' Ivanka?

New York Times "gender editor" Jessica Bennett assembled a group of female Times writers to analyze Samantha Bee's feckless stunt against Ivanka Trump. Culture critic-at-large Amanda Hess suggested Bee was calling out Ivanka's "pink-washing" her father's aims with vague feminism.

MSNBC: Will Religious Liberty Types ‘Run a Victory Lap' After Win?

Religious liberty advocates scored a victory on Monday as the Supreme Court, by a 7-2 decision, ruled that a Christian baker could not be compelled to bake a cake for a gay marriage. MSNBC immediately offered a nothing-to-see-here tone, throwing some cold water on the win. MSNBC Live host Hallie Jackson asked a legal analyst: “Do you believe that religious liberties advocates will try to run a…

Camerota Suggests Accidental Shooting Undermines 'Good Guy With a Gun'

On Monday morning, as CNN's New Day show highlighted video of an FBI agent accidentally shooting someone in a Denver nightclub while dancing flamboyantly, co-host Alisyn Camerota suggested that the video undermine's the NRA's argument that "The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," as she discussed the news with co-host John Berman. By contrast, although Fox and Friends…

Jon Stewart Defends Bee: Right-Wing Outrage Is Just a 'Game'

Matt Wilstein at the Daily Beast reports that Jon Stewart dismissed the scandal over Samantha Bee's vulgarity against the president's daughter as phony. In a Q&A session at the Clusterfest comedy festival in San Francisco, “They don’t give a shit about the word ‘cunt,’” he said of Donald Trump (and his voters). “That is probably—he says that instead of ‘please,’ I’m guessing.” He asserted…

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s Kidnapper Calls Trump 'My Personal Hero'

Has liberal Hollywood just completely run out of original material? Season four of Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, a ditzy, nonsensical comedy series, makes me think so. The first six episodes released on May 30 are randomly sprinkled with snide comments against President Trump and conservatives in general, and even beats the dead horse of white privilege.

Showtime’s Stand-Up Show Mocks Sacrament of Confession

Showtime’s I’m Dying Up Here proves it’s not offering any new material by once again bashing Christianity. It’s only fitting, I suppose, since the show is based in the 1970's that its jokes feel that old. This week, the show attempts to give us tasteless and disparaging humor about one of the sacraments of Catholicism.

Trump's AG Demands Search of FBI Employee Emails, Texts on 'Billions'

Showtime’s Billions continues its vendetta against Attorney General Jeff Sessions by characterizing its Jeff-Sessions parody character, Attorney General Waylon “Jock” Jeffcoat (Clancy Brown), as a man who “recognizes no legal or moral authority, no justice but his own” and deserves “assassination."
