Sarah Palin's and Samantha Bee’s Husbands Duke It Out on TBS Sitcom

Of all the television shows for the husband of Sarah Palin to make an appearance on, Todd Palin strangely chose TBS’s extremely liberal comedy The Detour.

NYDN Blames VP Pence for Politicizing Olympics

The Winter Olympics were a mess from the get-go, and the blame rests with Vice President Mike Pence.

Olympics: Bobsledder Aja Evans Prays While Competing

Even though some media figures take to mocking Christianity, Olympic athletes aren’t shying away from speaking out about their faith – to reporters. On Monday, Eun Yang, who traditionally anchors for NBC’s Washington D.C. affiliate, reported from South Korea for the 2018 Winter Games. While there, Yang turned her attention to the “very impressive” U.S. women’s bobsled team of four, including Aja…
