Not so, say the broadcast networks, which have devoted just 39 seconds to the story, out of the 9 hours and 30 minutes of news shows they’ve aired since it broke.

New Digital Media Cater to Pot Heads, 'Social Justice' Warriors

According to a recent article in The Washington Post, Fusion, Ozy.com, Mic, Vocativ and Upworthy are not your parents’ news sources.

The “Civilities” column written by gay “Mr. Manners” Steven Petrow in The Washington Post carried another uncivil attack in Tuesday’s paper.

Salon Assesses 'What Karl Marx Got Right' About U.S. Democracy

The left seems to be on the rise. The nation has its first openly socialist presidential candidate in years, the Supreme Court overthrew traditional marriage, and President Obama is in some kind of vaunted and  untouchable lame duck stage.

We've long known that the Associated Press is loath to refer to unborn children as unborn children, preferring the clinical term "fetus."
