NBC to Romney: ‘Tough’ to Say Obama ‘Dabbling at War With ISIS'

In an interview with former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Monday’s NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie was incredulous of his criticism of President Obama’s strategy against ISIS: “You wrote in The Washington Post that the President should wage war to defeat ISIS, quote, ‘not merely to harass it.’ That is pretty tough language. Let me be direct with you, are you saying the…

NY Times Editor: It's 'Disingenuous' for Carson to Argue Liberal Bias

Can prominent liberal journalists ever get their brain around the idea that conservatives are sincere and not cynical when they protest liberal media bias? Ben Carson has repeatedly made the point that his memoirs are being nitpicked at a much higher rate than Hillary Clinton's or Barack Obama's. But New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet suggested to Charlie Rose on PBS he doesn't really "…

Salon: 'Wingnuts' Went 'Insane' at Couric's Planned Parenthood Tour

Gary Legum of Salon.com wrote the “antiabortionists” are upset with “perky newswoman” Katie Couric at Yahoo! because “she has dared to take her cameras inside a Planned Parenthood clinic, which looks like a fairly normal medical center and not the blood-soaked abattoir of dismembered baby limbs that conservatives just know it to be in their tiny blackened hearts.”

CNN's Kayyem Frets US Barring Refugees Bolsters European 'Right Wing'

Appearing as a guest during Sunday's live CNN coverage of the Paris terrorist attacks, CNN National Security Analyst Juliette Kayyem worried that, if the United States refuses to allow Syrian refugees into the country, that it would bolster "very right-wing elements" in Europe, leading the Europeans to "close their borders" to more refugees. At about 6:48 p.m., after arguing that it would be…

‘Quantico’ Airs Warning Before Episode 'In Light of Recent Events'

In the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks, many shows have postponed or replaced episodes this week that have terrorism storylines. But the main plot of ABC’s Quantico is a terrorist bombing at Grand Central Station in New York City and the flashback of the events leading up to that day. To acknowledge the terror attacks (kind of) without having to completely cancel their show, this message…

AMC’s ‘Into the Badlands’ Imagines 'a World Without Guns’

AMC’s new, post-apocalyptic drama, Into the Badlands, premiered last night, and gave anti-gun liberals the world they’ve been clamoring for: one where all firearms have been outlawed. Only, far from the peaceful utopia gun control advocates always promise, the world has instead devolved back into the barbaric, feudal society that dominated much of human history.

Japan in Recession Again, So the Answer Must Be Even More 'Stimulus'

Japan's two-decade romance with Keynesian economics has led to another betrayal — and yet the press and all the supposedly smart economists and analysts seem to believe that just one more fling might bring about a different result. The Land of the Rising Sun, aka the Land of the Two-Decade Zombie Economy, has just reported an annualized contraction of 0.8 percent in the third quarter. The…

'Madam Secretary' Shows Sympathy with BLM to Lift Cuban Trade Embargo

Madam Secretary checked off a couple of different boxes for a future Hillary run. In an episode titled “You Say You Want a Revolution,” we open with a scene where an apparently harmless Chicago traffic stop in the late 70’s turns violent. Because the cop started it, obviously.

Actor Predicts Obama Will Be Viewed 'Very Favorably' Due to Obamacare

Bryan Cranston, the actor probably most known for playing a meth kingpin in the AMC drama Breaking Bad, thinks President Obama’s time in the White House will later be looked upon as “very favorably,” mainly because of what he did with ObamaCare. “I think his legacy will be looked upon, maybe not right now, but in years to come, I think it will be looked upon very favorably because of what he was…

NBC's 'Truth Be Told' Uses Gay and Racial Stereotypes to Scam

In Friday night’s “Members Only” episode of Truth Be Told on NBC, Russell asks Mitch to negotiate for a new car he is hoping to purchase. The writers of this show promote the premise that being gay in America is commonplace; so commonplace that if two guys show up together to look into a purchase of a new car, the salesman will assume that those two men are gay.
