The Washington Post loves pushing those stuffy conservative church folk around in the Sunday paper. The entire top half of the Sunday Outlook section carried a condom package with wings and the headline “Why the church needs condoms: A more honest position on contraception would help reestablish the Vatican’s moral authority.” That’s according to former New York Times religion reporter (and…

Relax liberals. All those Donald Trump campaign hats you see out there don't necessary mean the wearers support The Donald. Many of those hats are really being worn by hipsters making an "ironic" fashion statement. Such is the laughable premise put forth by New York Times political reporter Ashley Parker. In addition, Parker claims that the Trump campaign hat, which is a popular wide-brimmed…

Three days before CNN’s Republican presidential candidates debate, Jake Tapper, the moderator of it, predicted at least one of those on stage will try to distract from the real issues by attacking him. “I anticipate that at some point somebody is going to take a shot at me as the straw man, as the stand-in for the media writ large,” Tapper forecast Sunday morning from the site of the debate, the…

What is the result when Hollywood combines oil prospecting, a young couple chasing the American dream, family feuds and crooked officials? This fall television season, the result is Blood & Oil, ABC’s wannabe-Dallas set in the fictional oil boom town of Rock Springs, North Dakota. The show stars Don Johnson, Chace Crawford and Rebecca Rittenhouse. The trailer even resembled TNT’s Dallas…

Regarding the mainstream media’s superficial coverage of religion, is the sticking point excessive evenhandedness or simple ignorance? Two lefty bloggers differed Friday on that issue. First, Paul Waldman wrote on The Washington Post’s Plum Line blog that reporters don’t like asking the presidential candidates “about the specifics of their faith and how it might influence their day-to-day…

The Washington Post published a special section on the NFL, complete with the usual predictions of how the teams would finish in the standings. They even polished it up by illustrating the teams with comic-book-style art. But the Post is so averse to offending the most sensitive Indian activist that it refused to illustrate not only the Washington Redskins, but the Kansas City Chiefs with an…

TBS’s Conan commissioned a song on behalf of Rhode Island’s leading candidate for President, Democrat Lincoln Chafee. FNC’s Special Report with Bret Baier made a clip of that parody song, “Let’s Get Lincoln Chafee to One Percent!” its end of show kicker this past Monday night where fill-in host Shannon Bream facetiously pleaded: “One percent. You want a man to have a fighting chance.”

Donald Trump hates women? Then Republican women rally to Trump. Ted Cruz shut down the government and the GOP is to blame? Then GOP voters will rally in 2014 to give the GOP control of the Senate and just about everything except the White House, which wasn’t on the ballot. When it comes to dealing with liberal media narratives, how to play? In two words? Fight back. Anything less telegraphs to…

It took nearly seven years, but at long last it's finally been heard -- praise for Sarah Palin on MSNBC. Even better, one of the people praising Palin -- and there were three, count 'em, three libs on the Lean Leftward cable network today doing so -- suggested that flailing Democrat Hillary Clinton could do worse than to look toward Palin as a political model to emulate.        

A recent outbreak of anti-Israel bias hit the New York Times. There was backlash over the paper's offensive "Jewish?" chart on Democrats opposd to Obama's Iran deal, as the paper's public editor responded to the chart under the heading, "Times Was Right to Change Insensitive Graphic." Meanwhile, editors placed the "stinging defeat" of a pro-Israel organization on the front page. There was also...…

Friday's report on the federal government's budget deficit through August told us that with one month remaining in the fiscal year, Uncle Sam will certainly "achieve" an all-time single-year record in tax collections accompanied by all-time record spending. The Associated Press's Martin Crutsinger apparently didn't consider either item newsworthy. Instead, he decided that the real news is this…

Liberal journalists and pundits were losing control over the Murdoch family buying another prestigious media property, this time the National Geographic brand. "A climate change denier with now even more power and influence over science grants in the United States." Murdoch says he's a skeptic, not a "denier."

On Saturday, Britain’s Labour Party nominated a hard-left liberal to lead their party, a man who called bin Osama bin Laden’s death a “tragedy.” Yet, although the New York Times acknowledged Jeremy Corbyn’s liberalism, nowhere in writer Stephen Castle’s article was any mention of his comments about bin Laden, nor was there discussion of his virulently anti-Israel positions.

To Steve Benen, Obamacare is a high-quality dress shirt that Republicans treat like a greasy rag. Benen, a producer for MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, wrote in a Friday post on the TRMS blog that even though “every GOP prediction about the Affordable Care Act has been discredited,” conservatives keep trying to use it to tarnish other measures they oppose, including the Iran nuclear deal. “If…
