Leftist PBS talk show host Tavis Smiley welcomed 1988 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis into his Los Angeles studio for Monday night’s show. Dukakis is hanging out as a guest professor at UCLA. Smiley wanted to bang on the GOP: “What did Republicans do or not do that made the ground so fertile in this year for a Trump type candidacy? How did this happen?” “I think it’s the…

In the wee hours of MSNBC’s live coverage of caucus and primary results in Arizona, Idaho, and Utah, co-host Rachel Maddow attempted to mount a forceful defense of the media’s obsessive attention to Donald Trump (to the detriment of the other Republican candidates) but was met with firm opposition by former Carly Fiorina deputy campaign manager Sarah Isgur Flores.

Rob Ford, the colorful former Mayor of Toronto, passed away Tuesday at age 46. In the heyday of his antics which drew much media attention, he flew down to Los Angeles to appear on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. In this clip, from Kimmel’s Tuesday, March 4, 2014 show, Ford laughed along as Kimmel confronted him with sets of photos showing the very different approaches to his job and constituents…

Have I mentioned that The Real O’Neals is the worst show on television? If I haven’t, don’t worry. I’ll show it to you.

The smoke hadn’t cleared from the airport in Brussels and already the press was issuing its typical lament: This will only stoke Europe’s “right wing” and spread “rampant Islamophobia.” NBC’s Richard Engel complained on the “Today” program that “We're already seeing the rise of the right wing. We're already seeing rise of hate attacks, where people will use the kind of terrorist attacks, these…

Whenever I hear the words "centrist" or "moderate," especially when they come from The New York Times and The Washington Post, the words "liberal" and "cover-up" immediately come to mind.

President Obama essentially "phoned it in" Tuesday with his lackluster response to the terrorist attacks in Brussels, MSNBC host Chris Matthews suggested on the Tuesday edition of Hardball. "Let's talk about President Obama's behavior today," the usual enthusiastic Obama-backer Matthews said, contending: "The president was off base today." 

Fox News contributor, frequent Special Report panelist, and syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer was given his own segment on Tuesday night’s Fox News Channel (FNC) show in light of the Islamic terror attacks in Brussels and he used his airtime to berate President Obama for his “ideological holiday trip” to communist Cuba “while the world burns.”

Americans woke up to horror -- the deadly bombings in Brussels, for which Islamic State has claimed responsibility. Even after the capture, there were ominous hints about Brussels’ continued vulnerability in Tuesday’s New York Times, in a story by Alissa Rubin which went to press before the latest terror. Yet Rubin still managed to downplay the insular, hostile, terrorist-breeding ground nature…

The New York Times really knows how to tilt its campaign coverage with its own polling questions. The front-page headline on Tuesday was “Most Republicans Say '16 Race Is Embarrassing." Online, it was "Most Republicans Feel Embarrassed by Campaign, Poll Says.” They found 60 percent of Republicans are mostly embarrassed by the GOP presidential campaign and 27 percent are mostly proud. Back when…

During the 5:00 p.m. Eastern hour of MSNBC’s live coverage concerning the terror attacks in Belgium, breaking news anchor and former NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams shot back at State Department spokesman John Kirby when Kirby claimed that the attacks in Brussels illustrate why Islamic terrorist groups like ISIS are on the run.

After Texas Senator Ted Cruz gave a rousing speech at the American Israel Public Relations Committee Policy Conference in Washington, D.C., on Monday, MSNBC contributor Howard Fineman tried to slam the GOP presidential candidate by claiming that he and many other evangelicals “love conspiracy theories because they believe in the devil,” whom he asserted is viewed as “the ultimate conspiracist.”…

Before the bodies of the victims of the ISIS terrorist attacks in Belgium were cold, an MSNBC terror analyst Evan Kohlmann declared that Belgium society was to blame for the death and destruction. “Why is it that Muslims and other immigrants in Belgian have such problem integrating with local society? Why is it that they do not feel like they are Belgian? Why is it that they are ghettoized into…

Baseball is a game of stretches. The 7th inning stretch, pitching from the stretch…you get the picture. Though in the whole long storied history of the game. There might not have been a bigger stretch than this.
