DiCaprio at Davos: Energy Industry’s Greed Threatening ‘Humanity’

Leonardo DiCaprio is going overboard again, except this time the only ship he’s riding is his titanic hypocrisy. At the liberal World Economic Forum conclave held in Davos, Switzerland, actor and environmental activist DiCaprio took the tired liberal tack of blaming climate change on corporate “greed.” DiCaprio made the speech on January 19 and said that fossil fuels should be left in the ground…

As Obama Overreaches Again, 'The Hill' Sneers at 'Furious' GOP Reax

Once again, President Obama appears to have overreached his executive authority with an administrative move that circumvents the plain intent of the law, all in order to curry diplomatic favor with the Islamic Republic of Iran. But rather than cover the development in a neutral fashion, the Washington-based The Hill newspaper set out to tar Republicans as seething hotheads who can barely contain…

WashPost Fashionista: Palin's Clothes 'Inappropriate' for Trump Event

Washington Post fashion writer Robin Givhan is once again larding up her so-called fashion critiques with political critiques. In Thursday's Style section, Sarah Palin’s Trump endorsement was faulted for being too flashy. The headline? “Notice Sarah Palin’s sweater? You were supposed to.” Anti-Trump conservatives thought Palin endorsed Trump as a "look at me" moment. Givhan described the outift…

ABC’s Kimmel Covers New Hillary E-Mail Scandal News as WNT Stays Mute

In the latest sign that the liberal media has next to no interest in covering the new Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal news that broke on Tuesday, ABC’s World News Tonight has remained silent on the story (along with its fellow newscasts on CBS and NBC) concerning above top secret material being contained in her emails, but ABC’s late night comedy host, Jimmy Kimmel, offered a string of jokes on…

ABC Asks if Duck Dynasty Patriarch Likes Adopted Black Grandchild

In an interview with Duck Dynasty stars Jep and Jessica Robertson on Thursday’s Good Morning America, correspondent Jesse Palmer suggested that family patriarch Phil Robertson might be unhappy about the couple recently adopting an African American baby: “I have to ask you, obviously your father got in some hot water back in 2013. He made some inflammatory racial remarks. What's his reaction been…

CNN's Toobin: Hillary's E-Mail Scandal Not A 'Big Legal Problem'

On Wednesday's AC360, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin downplayed the latest development in Hillary Clinton's e-mail scandal — the revelation that her private e-mail server "contained highly-classified intelligence from the most top secret of programs," as host Anderson Cooper reported. Toobin asserted that "it's a huge political problem," but added, "I don't think it's a big legal problem. I don…

Sundance Lineup Reflects $75.8 Million From Soros and Other Lefties

Like Cannes and even, increasingly, the Academy Awards, The Sundance Film Festival isn’t so much a showcase of new movies as an annual mile marker denoting how far elite tastes and preoccupations have wandered from those of the movie-going public.

Teen Vogue Rah-Rahs Planned Parenthood Against Pro-Life 'Dirty Tricks'

It was only last month when I wrote that Teen Vogue delivered a full spread advertisement for Planned Parenthood disguised as a “news” article in its latest issue. The article was aptly titled, “10 Girls Share How Planned Parenthood Made a Difference in Their Lives.” It’s safe to say we know where Teen Vogue stands with the abortion chain, so it should come as no surprise that they would follow…

Nets Seize on Dole Blasting Cruz as ‘Extremist’ Who ‘Nobody Likes'

On Thursday, all three network morning shows were eager to hype former senator and Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole viciously attacking Texas Senator Ted Cruz. On ABC’s Good Morning America, correspondent Tom Llamas proclaimed: “This morning, more and more prominent Republicans turning their backs on Senator Ted Cruz. First Iowa's governor, and now, former Republican presidential nominee…

Ho, Ho... No: AP Xmas Sales Reporting Was Way Off Target

On December 28, the headline at a conveniently unbylined report at the Associated Press screamed: "HOLIDAY SPENDING UP 8 PERCENT; ONLINE SALES SURGE." As I noted in a post later that day, this was odd, to say the least, given that even the incurably optimistic National Retail Federation had predicted an increase of only 3.7 percent. It turned out that the reported growth rate was based on the…

Did Weiner Documentary Overexpose the Clinton Campaign?

So get this: A new documentary about Anthony (Carlos Danger) Weiner, former New York Congressman and serial cyber flasher, may have contained embarrassing content. Oh, not about Weiner – we’ve known for a long time that he’s incapable of embarrassment. No, it’s the Clinton presidential campaign that might be embarrassed.

MRC Research Director Rich Noyes appeared on Fox and Friends, Thursday, to decry journalists who aggressively defend the First Amendment, but support restrictions on the Second Amendment. Noyes and co-host Steve Doocy discussed legislation introduced by a South Carolina State Representative that would create a registry so only “responsible” journalists could report the news.

As liberal CNN political commentator and former Barack Obama advisor David Axelrod appeared as a guest on Thursday's New Day, CNN co-anchor Alisyn Camerota brought up accusations by Hillary Clinton press secretary Brian Fallon that the inspector general investigating the Clinton email scandal is "in cahoots" with congressional Republicans, and questioned the logic of such a claim.

Florida Gators football player Jalen Tabor apologized for comparing the Southeastern Conference to a “Modern Form of Slavery.” Probably because it’s crazy.
