WashPost Never Reviews Levin Books, But Promotes Salon's 'Ratf**cked'

Here’s one easy way to demonstrate a newspaper is liberal and has no intention of treating Tea Party conservatism seriously. The Washington Post has skipped doing any book review of the last three best-sellers over the last five years by radio host and constitutional law expert Mark Levin: Ameritopia, The Liberty Amendments, and Plunder and Deceit. But they made space on Sunday for a 1710-word…

Meet the Press Praises Dems for Merging ‘Terrorism and Guns Together’

The big question the Meet the Press panel tackled on Sunday was, as moderator Chuck Todd put it, “Is the gun debate changed this week?” Todd believed it had, explaining how Democrats have read the GOP’s play book on getting legislation passed, “And Democrats, for the first time, decided to merge terrorism and guns together and run with it. And it did change the rhetoric of the Republicans.”

NY Mag Pundit: ‘Trump TV’ Would ‘Cater’ to Right’s ‘Delusions’

A few days ago, Vanity Fair reported that Donald Trump is “considering creating his own media business, built on the audience that has supported him thus far in his bid to become the next president of the United States.” Jonathan Chait thinks such a venture “makes sense” since there’d be a “numerically large” ready-made audience for its fare. “Perhaps [Trump] grasps a truth the official…

ABC Gets Sen. Murphy to Admit His Gun Control Proposal Would Not Work

In a shocking development in the push for gun-control Sunday, Senator Chris Murphy, who filibustered for 15 hours regarding the issue, admitted on ABC’s This Week that his proposals would not have stopped any recent mass shooting. “Your proposal would have done nothing in the case of Orlando, it would have done nothing to stop the killing in San Bernardino,” stated ABC’s Jon Karl, calling out…

Rolling Stone Writer: NRA ‘Greatest Threat to Our Homeland Security’

Omar Mateen claimed at various times to be aligned with terrorist groups including ISIS, Hezbollah, and the al-Nusra Front. Tim Dickinson does not consider any of those bloodthirsty outfits “the greatest threat to our homeland security today.” That description, Dickinson argues, best fits the National Rifle Association. “The NRA's unhinged gun advocacy,” he wrote in a Wednesday article, “has…

NPR Mocks Catholic Bishop for Putting Grapes in the Graveyard

The Catholic Church is always good for a laugh on Catholic-subsidized National Public Radio....not so much your local mosque. On their game show Wait! Wait! Don’t Tell Me, host Peter Sagal inaccurately presented as breaking news a “bold scheme to make money” in Oakland. That’s not quite right. But you can see the punchline potential in putting a vineyard next to a graveyard:

NYT Smears Brexit Voters as Islamophobic, Anti-Immigrant Paranoids

After the murder of a British Parliament member while she was on the street meeting with her constituency, New York Times reporter Steven Erlanger used the front page to smear conservative supporters of Britain leaving the European Union (known as the “Brexit” movement) as anti-immigrant paranoids and “Islamophobic,” in “Growing Dread Over Ugly Tone of ‘Brexit’ Vote.” The online headline to the…

The Media’s Bitter Clingers: Getting Guns and Christians Wrong

Well this was a disaster of a week. Another Islamic radical attack on America leaves 49 dead and 53 wounded. And like clockwork there go the bitter clingers of the media - bitterly clinging to myths about guns and Christians. The “bitter clinger” phrase, of course, originated with candidate and Senator Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential campaign when he was captured on audio tape at a San…
