For the past couple weeks my Conversation pals and I have made great sport of the fact that our provincial, narrow-minded media treats HBO’s “Girls” like it is some sort of pop culture phenomenon, even though only 866,000 people watch.
“Les Miserables” is one I wanted to love. Gathered is a solid cast, a top director (Tom Hooper), and a timeless story of Christian faith, redemption, sacrifice, and forgiveness — all based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel. Unfortunately, the bloat wore
According to the press release, this coming June the Washinghton Examiner will cease all local coverage to focus instead on “investigative reporting and commentary on issues affecting national legislation and policy.” Other than a weekly magazine focusing on “political thought leadership,”
On his verified Twitter account, CNN contributor Roland Martin seems to be telling some of his followers that, as of April 6, he will no longer be with the network. When asked by one of his Twitter followers why he
There must have been a lot of tension in the BuzzFeed clown car office after left-wing smear merchant Andrew Sullivan launched into a series of anti-Mormon attacks against Mitt Romney in the waning days of the 2012 campaign. After all,
As we saw during their fevered push to re-elect President Obama in 2012, the media still have plenty of power. But this is mainly due to the media working harder than ever before to coordinate with one another on that
Monday, Big Journalism documented how Sunday’s “60 Minutes” report on the Catholic Church contained a number of inexcusable and intentional lies of omission in order to make a group of radical nuns look oppressed and the Church look as though it
Though no date or amount has been specified, the Washington Post announced Monday that it is in the process of installing a paywall that will require readers to pay a monthly fee after they have accessed 20 articles in a
Jake Tapper’s debut as a CNN anchor arrived at 4pm ET today with the premiere of “The Lead with Jake Tapper.” After letting us know his colorful new home still had that “new set smell,” Tapper got right down to
While I find it hard to believe “Bible” producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey would intentionally cast a Obama lookalike as Satan (why invite the media non-troversy sure to follow?), it doesn’t matter because… How does it feel, lefties? Satan
The fewer people who read the Washington Post, the better it is for America: The Washington Post will charge for access to its website beginning this summer. The move, which the company announced on Monday, confirms recent rumors and ends
In their never-ending crusade to dishonestly marginalize Fox News, members of the mainstream media love to casually compare Fox News to MSNBC. The idea is to falsely brand Fox News as MSNBC’s ideological cable news counterpart; as though both are
Buzz Feed Politics’ editor-in-chief Ben Smith appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Monday, and at no time condemned blogger Andrew Sullivan for launching unfounded smears against Pope Benedict or the Catholic Cardinals. Smith’s staff of energetic BenSmithers frequently launch sustained attacks
My favorite part of last night’s wildly dishonest “60 Minutes” attack against the Catholic Church is when correspondent Bob Simon reminds Sister Pat Farrell (head of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, or LCWR) that the same Vatican office that
If you want yet another example of how narrow-minded, group-thinked, and provincial the mainstream media is, a recent meme in the Washington Post is a perfect example. Lately, there has been a ton of debate in the Post about how
Please don’t expect me to pretend I didn’t vicariously enjoy watching evil made uncomfortable by CIA interrogators in director Kathryn Bigelow’s exceptional “Zero Dark Thirty.” If anything, those scenes show what a humane country America is. Oh noes we tied
**MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD that WILL ruin the movie if you have not seen it*** Finally saw “Skyfall” last night. Waited for it to hit Redbox because Hollywood hates that. While very good, “Skyfall” is somewhat overrated — far from “the
There are two reasons conservatives should be excited about The Lead with Jake Tapper, which premieres Monday on CNN at 4 pm ET. The primary reason, of course, is Tapper himself–who in my opinion is one of America’s ideal reporters:
You can watch below as CNN’s insufferable Carol Costello badgers, bullies, and pesters American Conservative Union Chairman (the organizers of CPAC) Al Cardenas over gay marriage and all things gay. Costello had Cardenas on for about four minutes and every single
The left-wing clown car that is BuzzFeed Politics just keeps rolling along at CPAC. As we saw yesterday, Ben Smith’s crack crew of BenSmithers just love to report on what Marco Rubio doesn’t say (yes, you read that right). Today,
CBS New York: Republican Gov. Chris Christie is fielding criticism after speaking at a recent church-hosted meeting. Christie has been asked to apologize for referring to the first black female leader of the state Assembly by race and gender, not
What would the conservative movement do without MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough to set us straight? I just wish he would let us know which side of his mouth we’re supposed to listen to. This morning, out of one side of his
It’s bad enough CNN would give all kinds of broadcast time to a cop killer-defender who signed a petition blaming the Bush Administration for 9/11 (but didn’t really sign it). But CNN’s left-wing radical (who was too radical for even
Why is a so-called news anchor mouthing off about her personal opinions on the future of the Catholic Church? Why does she think anyone cares? How can anyone be so narcissistic as to believe that a 2,000 year-old religious institution
UPDATE: Tom Monaghan is the founder of Dominos Pizza but has not been associated with the company since selling it in 1998. The headline of this article has been updated to reflect this distinction. Though the Health and Human Services
