Lame and Lamer: Hillary Lines Up Feminist Senators with Cue Cards

In a feministic attempt to be hip, the Hillary Clinton campaign decided to do something “fun” and ask Democratic senators – all female of course – to hold up signs with their answers to questions about the Democratic presidential candidate front-runner.  It’s sort of like, remember how Michelle Obama held a sign with the #bringbackourgirls in an effort to “fight back” at the terrorist group Boko…

WashPost Promotes 'Comedians Feeling the Bern' for Socialism

Washington Post political reporter Ben Terris provided the latest puff piece to the Democrats on the top of Friday’s Style section – which inspired more puffery on CBS Friday morning. “COMEDIANS ARE FEELING THE BERN,” blasted the headline in all caps. “Why has the most humorless presidential candidate garnered mad support from the normally apathetic stand-up scene?” Guess what? The “cool kids”…

Carson, Carly, Donald, and the Insulting Media

For the good part of a day America was being fed a story about Ben Carson that wasn’t true. Was Carson deliberately lying? Clearly not. One can quibble over the wording in his book, or even criticize him for imprecision or a foggy memory, but in fact there was no “there” there. The ladies of The View slammed Carly Fiorina for having a "demented" look, which set up a new showdown on that chat…

New Republic Writer: Conservatives Don’t Care About Carson’s ‘Honesty’

In a Friday article, Brian Beutler expressed a combination of disgust and resignation that the ideological “absurdity” and supposedly dubious autobiographical “veracity” of Ben Carson don’t matter to conservatives. Beutler acknowledged that Carson’s poll numbers may take a hit because of the flap over the West Point “scholarship,” but wondered, “Could Carson’s supporters prove so uninterested in…

Combs said: “We got Obama into office, the give back, the deal, where are the things in our community that have gotten drastically better?…Let’s stop…

ABC: Fiorina's 'PP Harvests Fetal Body Parts' Statement Only a 'Claim'

On Friday's The View, as CNS News's Mark Judge reported, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar went ballistic when GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina stated that Planned Parenthood is "harvesting baby parts through late term abortion." Part of Goldberg's response as she serially talked over Fiorina: "You know that’s not true. Carly, you know no one’s harvesting baby parts." Behar chimed in: "That…

House Conservatives Call Out the Networks for Their Bias

Bozell & Graham Column: Liberals Losing the Culture Wars?

The libertine Left has done a lot of boasting over the last several years about the inevitability of History vanquishing every corner of American social conservatism. Election Day 2015 was a terrible day for these revolutionaries, as so often it is when it’s the American people, not liberal elites, making the decisions. Let's assess the damage.

NPR, PBS Shamelessly Ignore 2015 Elections in 'Week in Politics'

National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service have attempted on Fridays to run a “Week in Politics” segment and PBS even has a long-standing show called Washington Week. But on Friday, all these programs discussed a “week” utterly without any analysis of the 2015 elections. Try to imagine how the media would have covered it if the transgender “equal rights” initiative won in Houston…

NBC’s ‘Truth Be Told’ Lumps Christian Faith With Astrology

Only in Hollywood would writers come up with a story that uses a classroom chicken to prompt a discussion about religion. Yes, NBC’s Truth Be Told does just that in the episode “Psychic Chicken.” A dead chicken, to be precise. It goes downhill from there.
