On CBS, Salman Rushdie Compares Kim Davis to Islamic Extremists

In an interview with author Salman Rushdie on Friday’s CBS This Morning, co-host Gayle King teed him up to bash Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, imprisoned for refusing to issue gay marriage licenses: “What do you think about what's going on in Kentucky with Kim Davis, who’s standing up for her religious beliefs, when you were really the victim of religious beliefs, where they were trying to get…

NYT's Healy Spins Frantically for Hillary: GOP Overreach Helping Her

New York Times reporter Patrick Healy portrayed the Republican candidates for president as bumblers blowing their chances against Hillary Clinton with their harsh attacks and right-wing obsessions, in Thursday's "Clinton Uses G.O.P.’s Words to Aid Her Arguments."

ESPN Suspends Schilling After He Defends Himself

ESPN suspended Curt Schilling from the Little League World Series for his tweet comparing the number of extremists in Islam today to the number of Nazis in Germany in the 1940s. Now ESPN has suspended Curt Schilling for the rest of the Major League Baseball regular season and the Wild Card game the “4-letter network” is scheduled to host, for defending himself over that tweet.

Reid, Hayes Lament 'Devoted Diehard' Hillary Fans Are Ignored by Press

During Thursday’s All In on MSNBC, what began as a discussion of socialist Bernie Sanders between host Chris Hayes and national correspondent Joy Reid suddenly morphed into the pair gushing over how some supporters of Hillary Clinton “are devoted diehards” that “we tend to underestimate” in the media.

CBS: Jailed Clerk 'Last Front in a Losing Battle Against Gay Marriage'

At the top of Thursday’s CBS Evening News, anchor Scott Pelley proclaimed that the jailing of Rowan County, Kentucky Democratic Clerk Kim Davis “could be the last front in a losing battle against same-sex marriage” as she had been refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples since the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling legalizing gay marriage on June 26.

AP Coverage of Manufacturing Continues to Ignore Its Steep Decline

The press's failure to tell the public how seriously the U.S. economy is struggling is not the most egregious exercise in reality avoidance we've seen during the past several months. The willful denial of Iran's intent to destroy Israel and its Western enemies, the refusal to acknowledge the inherent institutional ugliness of Planned Parenthood, and the failure to accurately characterize Hillary…

CBS Skips Hillary Staffer Taking the 5th; ABC Asks If She’ll 'Survive'

The CBS Evening News bid farewell on Thursday to Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal as the newscast, unlike ABC and NBC, dodged news that longtime Clinton aide Cheryl Mills testified before the House Select Committee on Benghazi plus word late Wednesday night that a former staffer who helped set up her private e-mail server would invoke his Fifth Amendment by not testifying before Congress.

Exchanging One Country for Another

Back when I was in school, I performed a scientific experiment in which I poured a liquid of one color into a beaker that contained liquid of a different color. At first the liquid in the beaker was diluted, but as I kept pouring, the poured liquid eventually overtook the liquid in the beaker, creating an entirely new substance. That's what is happening in Europe as thousands of migrants flee…

Daily Beast: Parents Shouldn't Be Able to Opt Kids Out of Sex Ed

It's such a damn shame the U.S. is so religious. Otherwise, who knows, maybe mandatory sex ed would be a nationwide reality.  That's the sentiment conveyed by Daily Beast writer Samantha Allen in her September 3 story "Should Sex Ed Be Mandatory?"

Mitchell on E-Mail Scandal: Will FBI ‘Close This Down Quickly’?

In an interview with Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar on Thursday, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell fretted that the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal would continue to damage the Democratic front-runner unless it was suddenly shut down: “...now that the FBI is involved and now that these e-mails will trickle out between now and January....unless they close this down quickly and…

Networks Show Dead Syrian Toddler; Censor Dead Babies in Abortion Vids

The death of 3-year-old Syrian refugee Aylan is heart-wrenching. The deaths of more than 40 million unborn babies worldwide per year is also heart-wrenching. But broadcast networks will only show one of those stories. ABC, NBC and CBS can no longer argue that they censor graphic pictures from their news shows. Since the story broke, every evening and morning news show has shared the “…

Taylor Swift’s New Video Reeks of ‘White Colonialism’ to Liberals

You know the liberal media have nothing of value to talk about when they decide to turn on their precious Hollywood allies —for no reason! Last Sunday, Taylor Swift premiered her new music video “Wildest Dreams” at the VMAs. The surprisingly good video sets 1920’s old Hollywood glam against spectacular African scenery. But according to Jezebel’s highly unsatisfied Madeleine Davies there is a…

Washington Post: 2.64 Trillion More Trees Not 'Good News'

Leave it to the Washington Post to spoil good news with climate alarmism. Science and environment reporter Chris Mooney reported that a new study of trees concluded the world’s tree population was 7.6 times greater than previously estimated. The researchers calculate that there are more than 3 trillion trees on the planet, 2.64 trillion more than they’d thought there were.
