Tirico May Lighten NBC's Foray into Politics During Olympics

If you were planning to boycott coverage of the upcoming Winter Olympics to avoid the political bloviating of Bob Costas, you might want to tune in.

NYT Gives Dana Loesch the Vader Treatment, Hails MSNBC GOPer Wallace

Evening News Cover Women’s March 3 Times More Than March for Life

For a second year, the networks are favoring a march supporting abortion and other lefty causes over a march for life. During their Saturday news shows the first evening of the Women’s March, ABC, CBS and NBC spent a total of 6 minutes, 43 seconds highlighting the event. In comparison, following Friday’s March for Life, the three broadcast networks spent just 2 minutes, 6 seconds on the pro-life…

Appearing as a guest on Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO, liberal comedian and failed Comedy Central host Larry Wilmore made several snide comments about conservatives as he not only cracked that former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was "murdered by a pillow," but he poked fun at the 13 children who were infamously held prisoner and abused by their parents as he likened them to…

Oops: WashPost Misquotes Eric Trump on 'Hannity' to Make Him Look Dumb

The satirists at Saturday Night Live love to paint Eric Trump as so dumb he probably eats paint chips (or Tide pods?)

Feds Charge Paul Attacker; Media Pushes Unproven 'Pile of Brush' Feud

The Department of Justice announced Friday that Rene Boucher, the person who attacked and seriously injured Kentucky GOP Senator Rand Paul 2-1/2 months ago, has been charged with a federal felony and admitted to the attack.

De Blasio's Morning Joe Howler: We'll Tax the Rich to Restore Subways

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio played make-believe during his Wednesday Morning Joe appearance, and everyone else present let him do so without challenge. Hizzoner's deepest dive into fantasyland was his contention that he can raise the money needed to repair and improve Gotham's decrepit subway system by "taxing millionaires and billionaires," which would only raise about 5 percent of the…

The Media, LBJ, Clinton and the Trump S-Hole Firestorm

The basic fact is in dispute. According to Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, a Democrat, the President of the United States used the word (this being a family publication I will clean it up) “s-hole” to describe Haiti and Africa in a discussion about immigration. According to others present, not so
