Alec Baldwin's New Talk Show A Bloated, Self-Aggrandizing Snooze-fest

I don’t know who got the bright idea to air a “sneak peek” of ABC’s newest late night talk show Sundays with Alec Baldwin on Oscar night, but with the live Academy Awards running 50 minutes late, plus local news, the show didn’t start on the East Coast until about 12:30am. This was doubly was unfortunate for Baldwin – the few people still up watching TV at that hour were quickly put to sleep by…

Daily Beast Roars: 'Best Supporting Actor Should Go to Mike Pence'

Daily Beast editor-in-chief John Avlon is a liberal-bias denier, who sneers “When did the conservative movement started loving to play victim so much? When did that start happening?” But his latest Beastly article is headlined “The Oscar for Best Supporting Actor Should Go to Mike Pence.” He declared Pence’s name was missing from the supporting-actor nominees and declared “This is a criminal…

Hollywood Gloats at Oscars: 'We Make Films to Upset Mike Pence'

In a repeat performance from last year, late night talk show host turned liberal political activist Jimmy Kimmel hosted The Oscars on March 4. Aired on ABC in prime time, the 90th Academy Awards show was so self-indulgent and stuffed with liberal propaganda, that it ran a full 50 minutes late.

Unbearable HBO Show: Republicans Tell People 'What to Do'

Sunday night means spending another hour with the most unbearable show on television- HBO's Here and Now, a show about a Portland (of course) academic, his wife (who runs an empathy training initiative for high schoolers), and their kids, one biological, the others adopted from countries that they believed had been wronged by America in some way. No, really. In the March 4 episode "Hide and Seek…

Colbert's Trump Cartoon Worships 'Kind, Intelligent Soul' Trudeau

I have to give some credit to Showtime’s Our Cartoon President. It’s the one show that would probably be more obnoxious to watch than the Oscars. That being said, we still have to deal with yet another insufferable take on our current administration from the people who still think “bigly” is funny. This latest escapade involves worshipping at the altar of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau……

SNL Host Barkley Compares Gun Rights Advocates to 'Cockroaches'

Charles Barkley played to adoring reviews from left-stream online media in his fourth appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend. Barkley took on gun rights advocates and opponents of athlete protests, leading SBNation's James Dator to write that he "perfectly mixed humor and his message on athlete protests." Slate's Matthew Dessem focused on a segment deriding the NRA's plan to solve school…

Merkel Acknowledges German No-Go Zones; U.S. Media Deniers Hardest Hit

Wednesday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel recognized that Germany has "no-go areas" — places where police and public safety personnel cannot visit without risking serious physical harm. A short Associated Press item on her statement described "German officials" as "speechless." It appears that the wire service's Berlin reporter shared that assessment, and may even have believed that Merkel had …

‘Socialism’ Absent from 9,000-Word NYT Story on Venezulean Woes

The New York Times’ abject refusal to pin the socialism label on the failed and starving state of Venezuela is well-documented (as is the paper’s whitewashing of that and other tyrannical left-wing regimes). In the newest Times Sunday Magazine, writer Wil S. Hylton devoted nearly 9,000 words to fiery, often-imprisoned opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, “Can Venezuela Be Saved?” yet managed to…

Meet the Press Panel Laments the Lack of Progress on Gun Control

Towards the end of Sunday’s Meet the Press, moderator Chuck Todd led the largely liberal panel on a sorrowful whine session to bemoan how no hastily-crafted-poorly-understood-and-ultimately-useless gun control measures had been enacted nationally yet.

WashPost: Crying Jimmy Kimmel Is 'America's Conscience' and Also Funny

The Washington Post gushed all over ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on the morning before he hosts the Oscars, but reporter Geoff Edgers didn’t focus on the Oscars. It began by honoring his teary sermon about Health Care For All. The headline was "Late show of emotion: Jimmy Kimmel might be America’s conscience but he’ll still do anything for a laugh."

Obamas 'Loved' Anti-Trump Tweet on Premiere of 'The Good Fight'

Another show is congratulating itself for pushing the envelope by attacking President Trump. The new season of CBS’s The Good Fight plans to feature episodes on Trump’s impeachment, white supremacy, racial injustice, and the Russian golden showers scandal. Sunday’s premiere, "Day 408," opens with an anti-Trump tweet being praised by the Obamas. Liz Reddick posts a tweet calling President Trump a…

About That Strange New Book By Jorge Ramos

A few days ago I received the latest book by Jorge Ramos, titled "Stranger." The person who sent it to me said it was a gift, yet I have serious doubts about that, since I believe he really just wanted to pique my interest so that I'd read it and share my thoughts. The donor knows of my propensity to examine and analyze strange aspects in the lives of the characters that populate the Hispanic…

'Blue Bloods' Suddenly Turns PC, Defends Illegals, Fires Innocent Cop

CBS’s Blue Bloods is usually known for being friendly to our police heroes. But in Friday’s episode, “Legacy,” the show suddenly took a PC turn as Police Commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) went completely out of character by sympathizing with an illegal immigrant over one of his officers to the point of firing her even though she did everything “by the book.”
