Diane Sawyer Versus ‘Too Rich’ Romney
18 Apr 2012
12:03 am
Republican strategists should generally be wary of campaign advice from liberals — and when it’s from the media, generally becomes definitely. Washington Post political writer Chris Cillizza recently suggested Mitt Romney’s general-election strategy should start with getting a “positive first introduction” to voters through the liberal media because “only the national media can provide that megaphone and serve as a sort of validator for him.”
How hard did he laugh after he wrote that?
No Republican should think he could end-run the liberal media establishment entirely and not suffer damage. Ask Dick …

Spot the Newest Low
13 Apr 2012
12:01 am
The poobahs of our popular culture never seem happy unless they’re taking entertainment down to the “next level” of deviancy. When they undertake remakes of Hollywood classics — especially the comedies — that’s when you see how far we’ve fallen.
The forthcoming modern-day adaptation of “The Three Stooges” isn’t going to be a celebration of that iconic family comedy. The trailer features Moe poking the eyes of “Snooki” Polizzi from the uber-sleazy MTV show “Jersey Shore.” But that’s nothing compared to the real absurdity of 19-year-old Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate …

Some Very Political Science
11 Apr 2012
12:03 am
The news is stuffed with “studies” in which “experts” tell us how we should behave. One recently found that conservatives have lost their trust in science over the last 40 years. That’s probably because the very political academics of science are routinely summoned to prove the right-wingers are not only wrong but dangerously wrong and not just dangerously wrong but evil, too.
These studies are laughable.
First, there was the study purporting to prove that conservatism appeals to low-intelligence racists “who have trouble grasping the complexity of the world.” Then there was …

MTV’s ‘Savage’ Schoolyard
6 Apr 2012
12:01 am
MTV is now trying to lure young viewers with a saucy sex show in the “advice” category. They didn’t reach for Dr. Drew or God forbid Dr. Ruth or an actual doctor of anything. They turned to filthy sex columnist and gay activist Dan Savage.
The new show is called “Savage U,” and it documents Savage touring college campuses to offer snarky/smutty advice to college students. This is MTV’s libertine ideology pitched right at children, and Savage is blunt about how he’ll be going around the parents.
Savage explained to the Los …

Maddow and the NPR-MSNBC Alliance
4 Apr 2012
12:08 am
Anyone who clicks around on the National Public Radio website is often bombarded with ads for MSNBC. Naturally, if you love one hard-left network, you’ll love the other. But the promotion isn’t just in advertisements.
Yes, conservatives: You’re being forced to underwrite with your tax dollars what you’re about to read. And you’re not going to like it.
On March 27, the NPR-distributed show “Fresh Air” with host Terry Gross devoted its entire hour to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. Gross honored her at the start as “the host of MSNBC’s top-rated show.” …

Whose Movie Is Propaganda?
30 Mar 2012
12:01 am
It’s more than a little shocking when someone makes a movie that deals harshly with abortion. This is Hollywood after all. Abortion is a feminist sacrament. The movie “October Baby” just debuted on 390 screens and registered in eighth place for the weekend, with an estimated $1.7 million gross.
“October Baby” is a drama loosely based on the real-life story of Gianna Jessen, born with cerebral palsy after she survived a failed abortion procedure and now a celebrated pro-life speaker. In the film, the lead character, Hannah, discovers her adoptive parents …

Atheists Darken D.C.
28 Mar 2012
12:03 am
What if the atheists declared they were about to throw “the largest atheist event in world history” on a Saturday in Washington and few people showed up? Reason Rally organizer David Silverman estimated that “99 percent of all atheists are closeted.” The closet must still be full, because they sure weren’t in Washington.
The Washington Post story on Sunday guessed there were “several thousand” people in the intermittent rain. But Paul Fidalgo of the Center for Inquiry told the Post, “We have the numbers to be taken seriously. … We’re not …

Putting the Bull in ‘Bully’
23 Mar 2012
12:01 am
In 1968, the Motion Picture Association of America effectively nationalized the movie industry’s rating system to guide parents and the wider public about the content of films before purchasing tickets. A year hasn’t gone by since that the “beautiful people” don’t throw their artistic temper tantrums when they receive a harsher rating than they want.
The latest example is a documentary named “Bully,” which investigates the lives of five bullied students during the 2009-2010 school year in five states — Georgia, Mississippi, Iowa, Texas and Oklahoma. Two of the five committed …

MSNBC’S Sharpton Sinkhole
21 Mar 2012
12:03 am
A few nights back, Mark Levin made a powerful point on his radio show: Fox News boss Roger Ailes is a well-known and infamous name in media circles, like some sort of cable-news Voldemort or Darth Vader. Meanwhile, MSNBC boss — quick, can you name him? — Phil Griffin is unknown and not the least bit controversial after hiring, as Levin unforgettably put it, a “conga line of morons.”
NBC news used to be the channel for sober, boring Huntley-Brinkley journalism. It was liberal, to be sure but serious. NBC’s news …

Hard-Rocking Hypocrisy
16 Mar 2012
12:01 am
You know it’s election season when Republican candidates get angry phone calls from liberal musicians telling them not to use their old music (like “Survivor” whacking Newt Gingrich for using “Eye of the Tiger” from 1982). Meanwhile, Democrats are handed new anthems on a silver platter written with their re-elections in mind.
Bruce Springsteen’s new album has been hailed as a soundtrack for Obama’s re-election, especially the song “We Take Care of Our Own” (“wherever this flag’s flown”). Springsteen is lauded for going on “a tear to raze Wall Street and …

Who’s Really Bashing Women?
15 Mar 2012
12:01 am
Our transparently feminist media are currently cranking their hyperbole machines in their War on Limbaugh. They are reporting — chortling, really — that Republicans have a huge problem with women voters. The Washington Post breathlessly reports that their poll found Democrats won by 25 points on “Cares more about issues that are especially important to women.”
But there’s an enormous, deliberate, daily oversight by most of these pro-Obama journalists. They are choosing to ignore the vicious way liberal talk show hosts and comedians talk about women — and not just conservative …

GCB: Good Christians Bashed
9 Mar 2012
12:01 am
At the same time Washington was ablaze with outrage at the idea that Rush Limbaugh insulted a woman as a “slut,” ABC premiered a new Sunday night show called “GCB” — shortened from “Good Christian Bitches.” Limbaugh apologized. ABC displays no such contrition. They insulted only those Christians. In the midst of this trashy debut, ABC promoted a new sitcom coming in April titled “Don’t Trust The B—- in Apartment 23.”
ABC advertised the debut of “GCB” with a photo of actress Kristin Chenoweth in a choir robe cut way above …

The Left’s War on Babies
7 Mar 2012
12:02 am
In the wake of the Obama administration dictate that private insurance companies cover contraceptives and abortifacients, supporters have defined anyone who would oppose this mandate as waging a “war against women.” Obviously, no opponent of this policy is actually bombing, shooting or stabbing women to death.
The same cannot be said for what the cultural left favors — a war against babies. The latest front of “advanced” leftist medical ethics has emerged from the experts at Oxford University. They don’t just favor abortion, even partial-birth abortion. They favor “after-birth abortion.”
It is …

Bill Maher, Major Obama Donor
2 Mar 2012
12:01 am
HBO has perhaps made Bill Maher America’s nastiest talk show host. He’s also America’s most prominent, militant atheist. Now he’s made himself the most prominent million-dollar donor to Barack Obama’s super PAC, Priorities USA. He broke out a big check onstage in San Jose to advertise his magnanimous support.
A few days ago, NBC’s resident feminist Andrea Mitchell practically needed smelling salts when Santorum super-PAC backer Foster Friess repeated a very old (and equally innocent) joke about Bayer aspirin being used as birth control. This somehow became the scandal of the …

Obama’s Latino Landslide?
29 Feb 2012
12:03 am
It seemed like someone had been inhaling something at CNN on Friday morning. They kept touting an upcoming interview: “Barack Obama could win the presidential election by a landslide. Op-ed contributor Charlie Garcia tells us how next.”
Garcia, a consultant to corporations on how to market to Hispanics, broke out rainbows and unicorns for Obama: “He’s doing all the right things. He’s basically saying, ‘look guys, comprehensive immigration reform. I’m all for it. It’s those Republicans that just keep getting in the way.’”
Neither Garcia nor his CNN anchor/enabler, Kyra Phillips, could …

HBO’s Palin Pollution
24 Feb 2012
12:01 am
Sarah Palin’s top aides held a conference call to denounce the forthcoming HBO movie “Game Change,” which like any ultraliberal media production, knocks Palin as a mentally imbalanced moron. Reporters are already underlining the Palin aides haven’t seen the movie.
But isn’t that the point? As Pat Buchanan once said about another subject, “Does one need to lift the manhole cover to know what’s below?” Did the Clinton team wait to see the movie before begging ABC to kill “PATH TO 9/11″? Did the Kennedy team wait to see the miniseries …

The Bill Press Hate Machine
22 Feb 2012
12:03 am
Bill Press has a new book out called “The Obama Hate Machine.” To read the blurbs, you might wonder if Press thinks no one should be allowed to criticize the president. Here’s Nancy Pelosi touting the book: “In a poisoned political climate, negative personal attacks on President Obama must have no place in our public discourse.”
What’s next? A mandate forbidding inappropriate free speech? These tolerant liberals are out of control.
Press appeared on C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal” on Feb. 12 to plug his book, and he did say “there’s legitimate criticism of …

Grammy Stupidity Meter off the Charts
17 Feb 2012
12:02 am
The shocking death of pop star Whitney Houston built a massive audience for the Grammy Awards telecast Sunday night on CBS. It attracted 39.9 million viewers, making it the most watched non-sports program of the season.
The show began with a heartfelt prayer for Houston to “Our Heavenly Father” from the master of ceremonies, CBS actor LL Cool J. But sadly (and predictably), near the show’s end, religion was mocked in an elaborate Catholic-bashing mess, starring the rapper Nicki Minaj. Someone on Twitter said it best: “Stevie Wonder was the luckiest …

The Kennedy Has No Clothes
15 Feb 2012
12:02 am
Valentine’s Day is probably not the day most people would pick to remember the marriage of John and Jacqueline Kennedy. But on Feb. 14, CBS spent more than eight minutes recalling how it was the 50th anniversary of CBSs “historic” TV tour of the White House with Jackie. They brought on liberal historian Doug Brinkley to proclaim “50 years ago on Valentine’s Day, she became America’s sweetheart, and 50 years later, she still is.”
The problem is that any honest historian couldn’t claim that Jackie was JFKs sweetheart. He had lots …

Another Fleeting Failure For NBC
10 Feb 2012
12:02 am
Super Bowl XLVI was a good football game, marred once again by the bohemian elite at NBC. NBC could have prevented, but failed to stop, the broadcast of a female rapper “flipping the bird” at 114 million viewers during Madonna’s halftime show. It was another “fleeting expletive” of the hand-gesture variety, and somehow, despite elaborate rehearsals, no one at NBC could seem to stop it.
The same network skillfully edited God out of a clip of children reciting the Pledge of Allegiance during last year’s U.S. Open golf tournament.
As usual, and …
