Conservatives Shun Colbert Because ‘Smart Comedy Has a Liberal Bias’
You’ve probably heard the phrase “too smart for the room.” Penn State professor Sophia McClennen thinks that Stephen Colbert is too smart for America, or at least a huge chunk of it, and that consequently he’s fallen to third place in late-night television’s ratings race. In a Monday Salon piece, McClennen argued that even though Colbert has “moved his satire into a more centrist mode” since…

Univision’s Climate Advocacy Arm Bashes GOP Candidates
When Univision News President Isaac Lee held his infamous talk at UT Austin earlier this year, he reiterated the network’s commitment to covering only one side of certain issues by smearing ideological opponents via Nazi comparisons.

Katy Perry Isn't Taking It to Church in New Christmas Song
Secular fundamentalists on the Left scowl when Fox News hosts like Bill O’Reilly suggest Christmas isn’t really a religious occasion when public schools host Christmas concerts.

Expert Rips CNN for Dishonoring Agreement Not to Discuss CO Shooter
It was one of those stunning live-TV moments revealing the seamier side of TV news. Pat Brown is a criminal profiler who has taken a principled stand on media appearances about mass murderers.

Ed Schultz Wrong On Ben Carson Getting It Wrong on the Constitution
Ed Schultz should stick with his shtick as perpetually irritated working-class hero rather than ridicule others for their alleged ignorance of American history while at the same time displaying his flimsy grasp of it.

WashPost Youngster: Only 'Old Folks' Think Rubio Appeals to Youth Vote
Washington Post political reporter Ben Terris is a fresh-faced writer who just graduated from Brandeis in 2008. So surely he enjoyed writing a story for the front of the Style section on Thanksgiving with the snarky theme "Marco Rubio is just the guy to win the youth vote. Or so the old folks think. "
This is an interesting wisecrack, considering the same thing could be said about the old folks…
AP Hides the Overall Decline in Thanksgiving and Black Friday Sales
The truth about this year's Thanksgiving and Black Friday store and online sales is out there. It's just that Christopher Rugaber at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, wasn't interested in clearly revealing all of it.

NYT's Horowitz Hits 'Venomous' Trump Rally, Cites 'Nativist' GOP Base
Colorful New York Times political reporter Jason Horowitz let his left-wing ideological flags fly with three stories on consecutive days --a "venemous" Donld Trump rally, a cyptically hostile Carly Fiorina profile, and a chiding of Bernie Sanders for being insufficiently fiery on gay rights in the 1990s. Horowitz held Fiorina's childhood continent-hopping against her candidacy: "That family…

Rosie O'Donnell on Trump's Campaign: 'It's a Nightmare'
AP television writer Lynn Elber has a celebrity update: “Rosie O'Donnell isn't mincing words when it comes to Donald Trump's presidential campaign.” That wouldn’t be a surprise, considering Trump mocked her in the first debate.

AP's Boak Says New-Home Sales 'Recovered' In October; No They Didn't
