On Saturday, NPR’s Weekend Edition celebrated atheist author Philip Pullman and the His Dark Materials trilogy he wrote for middle-schoolers, a sort of anti-Narnia series. Anchor Scott Simon celebrated the 20th anniversary of the first book in this trilogy and interviewed Pullman as he sat a BBC studio in Oxford, hinting they have "maybe the mark of real excellence."

Appearing on Friday's CNN Tonight to plug his interview with former President Bill Clinton, CNN's Fareed Zakaria -- host of Fareed Zakaria GPS -- gushed over Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, calling her an "incredibly impressive public figure," "very intelligent," "very well-briefed," and "very smart on policy." He also suggested that, if only she had "charisma" and her husband…

On Saturday morning, the major broadcast networks were at it again in bashing the “far-right” and “unruly hardliners” in the House Republican caucus for causing Speaker John Boehner’s impending resignation announced Friday that CBS added could hurt the party’s chances in 2016 if the “infighting” continues.

This may qualify as even more amusing than the spectacle of diehard secularists in the media swooning over the pope like teen scribes for Tiger Beat backstage after a Bieber concert. Radio host Thom Hartmann, one of Bernie Sanders' most enthusiastic supporters in the left-wing media, has hosted Sanders on weekly "Brunch with Bernie" interviews for several years and, like Sanders, describes…

A heavily politicized preliminary version of Friday's front-page New York Times story on Pope Francis's visit to New York City was another example of the sudden respect a religious figure garners from the liberal newspaper -- at least when he happens to agree on the Times' pet issue of immigration. Reporters Marc Santora and Sharon Otterman noted that the Pope's "words cut against the current…

As the late Yogi Berra would say, it’s déjà vu all over again. Speaker John Boehner resigns - and the New York Times knew exactly what to headline: "Boehner to Resign, Pressured by the Right."

CBS’ cop drama Blue Bloods decided to start season six with a bang. Although, thankfully for the people of NYC, that bang was averted. In an episode titled “Worst Case Scenario,” the Reagan family becomes aware of a bomb plot through a tipster. Acting on the tipster’s information, Danny Reagan, (Donnie Wahlberg) prepares to lead the raid into the suspected terrorist’s lair when all of a sudden…

Appearing as a guest on Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO, during a discussion of the Catholic Church's refusal to allow women to become priests, liberal commentator Ron Reagan obnoxiously charged that "all of those monotheisms," specifying "Judaism, Islam, Christianity," are "terrified of" and "hate women" and  "hate genitals." Moments later, he mocked these religions as encouraging…

Speaking with fill-in host Alex Wagner on the Friday edition of MSNBC’s All In, Hardball host Chris Matthews and Daily Beast columnist Michael Tomasky continued the liberal media’s narrative of sudden respect for the soon-to-be resigning House Speaker John Boehner, lamenting that the “revolutionary” wing of the Republican Party had carried out a “mutiny” against “a rock-ribbed conservative.”

Count Bill Maher as among those who don't buy into the fable promulgated by much of the mainstream media about young Ahmed Mohamed building the clock that he brought to school. Maher expressed his extreme skepticism about the fairy tale last night on HBO's Real Time.  One huge takeaway from the show is the utter cluelessness of guest Ron Reagan. I won't ruin the surprise by revealing what Reagan…

MSNBC's Chris Matthews revealed his loathing for a part of his Catholic upbringing on Wednesday's Hardball, and ended up mangling the theology behind a beautiful and ancient Church ritual for new mothers. Matthews turned to Catholic dissident Sister Simone Campbell for her take on Pope Francis's visit. Sister Campbell touted her liberal "Nuns on the Bus" campaign as a supposed way to "take the…

Promoting the new season of his ABC sitcom Last Man Standing, actor and Republican Tim Allen joined Thursday’s Hannity on Fox News Channel (FNC) to blast the federal government over reckless spending, the national debt, and a culture of political correctness that he tries to rebuke on the show where he plays “a very smart Archie Bunker.”

They call it “bacha bazi,” translated as “boy play” – Afghan militia men throwing boys into sexual slavery. What’s worse yet, the U.S. military has turned a blind eye to this obscene practice. The front page of The New York Times carried the headline  "U.S. Soldiers Told to Ignore Sexual Abuse of Boys by Afghan Allies." Soldiers who tried to stop this abuse act actually being punished by the U.S…
