MS-DNC Pundits Compete to Smear Casey DeSantis: 'America's Karen'
Guests on Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC show compete to see who can make the ugliest slur of Casey DeSantis, wife of Ron. Former Republican David Jolly calls her "America's Karen," and Lincoln Project member Tara Setmayer calls her "a Serena Waterford wannabe," a reference to the character from The Handmaid's Tale who has been described as "the cruel, fanatically religious wife of Fred Waterford,…
Morning Joe: Trump's a Pathological, Weird, Criminal Hoarder
Trying to explain why Donald Trump held onto classified documents after leaving the presidency, Morning Joe describes him as a pathological, weird, bizarre, criminal hoarder, similar to John Nash, the schizophrenic mathematician who was the subject of the movie, A Beautiful Mind.
NPR on Film: Loves Eco-Terror, Hates Capitalism, ‘Transphobic' Rowling
National Public Radio’s ideological bias extends to its movie reviews. Fresh Air’s “critic-at-large” John Powers praised a new movie about a band of eco-terrorists fighting the energy industry: "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" review: Contrast that with the ideological contempt NPR critic Aisha Harris displayed toward a feel-good movie about how the famous “Air Jordan” sneakers…
PBS Never Satisfied: ‘Oscars So Male’ and Other Academy Award Gripes
Media activists who obsess over “representation” in Hollywood (think the #OscarsSoWhite hash-tag on Twitter), will never be satisfied as long as there are ways to slice the racial-gender figures of directors, actors, award nominees, and box-office results so that liberals will come away disappointed in the alleged lack of “representation” at the movies. The Oscars are a prime season to air…
CNN Edits Out Oscar Winner's Slap At Lemon For 'Past Her Prime' Insult
CNN This Morning airs portions of the acceptance speech by Best Actress Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh. But the show edited out Yeoh saying, "Ladies, don't let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime." That was a clear shot at Don Lemon, the morning co-host who was recently suspended and subjected to sensitivity training for insisting that Nikki Haley, 51, "isn't in her prime."
AOC’s Climate Change Doc ‘To the End’ Scores Just $80 Per Theater

'Whiff of a Loser'— Scarborough's Mock Movie Title for Trump
On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough, noting a poll showing Trump's historically low approval rating, and playing off the title of the Al Pacino movie, Scent of a Woman, claims that Jonathan Lemire has a movie title for Trump: Whiff of a Loser. Morning Joe knows about being losers: in the coveted 25-54 demographic, the Fox & Friends audience more than doubles…
Abortion Clinics Play 'Call Jane' Movie to Glamorize Abortion
Some propaganda with your abortion? Actor Elizabeth Banks, most commonly known from The Hunger Games, recently starred in a 1960s-set story about a mother who stumbles upon an underground abortion network called “The Janes.”
NYT vs. Science: Critic Hess TRIGGERED by Realistic Images of Fetus
The front page of the New York Times Saturday Arts section featured a castigation of the new Marilyn Monroe “biopic.” Critic-at-large Amanda Hess’s insidious critique focused on a single scene of the film showing a “beatific, photorealistic fetus.” Why? Hess doesn’t come out and say it, but one suspects she fears such images risk humanizing “the fetus” (which of course is already…
User Reviews: 'Rings Of Power’ Is Equally as Bad As ‘She-Hulk’
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Of Power Episode 4 – 'The Great Wave' was released on Friday, September 16, which means we are now halfway through the new Lord of the Rings series, and it doesn’t look like things are getting much better when it comes to the reviews of Amazon’s latest show.

But Trump! Whining Baldwin Cries Victim
Baldwin deserves sympathy in the same degree he’s shown courage, compassion and accountability since the shooting. That is, none.
Remember When Hollywood Celebrated Free Speech?
Aaron Sorkin is one of Hollywood’s most gifted scribes. The mind behind The West Wing, “A Few Good Men” and, more recently, “Being the Ricardos” writes smart, snappy banter that makes even mediocre moments pop. And he’s got an Oscar and four Emmys to show for it. But how would Hollywood of 2022 feel about his free speech views?
CNN to Righty NYT Columnist, Film Critic: ‘Stop Writing About Movies'
CNN senior writer Brian Lowry, and by extension CNN media reporter Brian Stelter mocked right-of-center New York Times columnist Ross Douthat for daring to write about two new movies in his latest column, even though he’s been a movie critic for National Review for years. Stelter’s June 19 newsletter included a snotty take from Lowry that suggested Douthat should stick to…
NY Times Hates ‘Misogynistic’ Depp Ruling: GOP Hates ‘Mouthy Women'
Actor Johnny Depp brought a defamation case against his former wife, actress Amber Heard, after she made domestic abuse allegations. Most everyone, right and left, following the trial believed Depp and considered Heard a liar, an opinion supported by the jury verdict in his favor. It’s left the liberals at the New York Times discombobulated, who are quite disturbed…
