Johnny Carson’s retirement truly was the end of an era. Jay Leno’s retirement felt like the end of an era. David Letterman’s retirement feels like the end of an argument that probably mattered once upon a time but now drags

It kind of takes your breath away to look back on just how much the world has changed since director Michael Wadleigh’s procedural-horror film “Wolfen” arrived in the summer of 1981. There was no streaming, no home computers, no mainstream

A Rasmussen poll released Tuesday that surveyed 1000 likely voters found that ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos is suffering a credibility crisis every but as crippling as the one NBC’s Brian Williams went through earlier this year. A plurality of 46%

The American mainstream media is filled to the brim with liars, frauds, partisans, cheats, plagiarists, and those who tolerate, defend and enable all of them. There is no American institution — not the NFL, not the tobacco companies, not any corporation or enterprise regularly targeted by the media — that engages in anywhere near the amount of fraud and dishonesty that serially oozes from Our Media Overlords.

With 18 reviews in (5 negative), director/co-writer Brad Bird’s “Tomorrowland” is just barely hanging on with a 71% fresh at Rotten Tomatoes (60% and above is considered “fresh”); the problem is that even some of the positive reviews are tepid.

“Pitch Perfect,” a moderately successful sleeper released in 2012, is now looking like a full-blown franchise. The sequel was expected to do well this weekend and still managed to blow away expectations with a projected (per Deadline) $62 – $65

In a first for the embattled publication, one of Rolling Stone’s cover boys was sentenced to death by a federal jury in Boston late Friday afternoon. This is a double whammy this week for the left-wing publication. On top of

Mad Max (Tom Hardy) has truly gone mad. Groomed like a caveman, and seemingly able to communicate only in grunts; figuratively, our Road Warrior has become the Feral Kid. He eats two-headed desert lizards alive and drives through an endless

— After failing to disclose $75,000 in Clinton Foundation donations to both his employer and his viewers, ABC News’ chief anchor and political correspondent George Stephanopoulos tried to contain the ongoing fallout Friday morning with an on-air apology. Rather than

Here’s what we know: 1) Over the course of a number of years, George Stephanopoulos, the chief anchor at ABC News, contributed $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation. 2) Stephanopoulos did not disclose these donations, even when reporting on and defending

In frantic damage control mode, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos ran to the safe zone of the left-wing Politico to announce the he will recuse himself from ABC’s February GOP debate in New Hampshire. He also admitted that the total amount he

The length to which ABC, its news division, and its parent company (Disney) have gone to protect and curry favor with the Clintons is almost impossible to grasp. To begin with, in 1996, ABC News hired George Stephanopoulos, a former

The scandals that derailed the career of NBC News anchor Brian Williams are of the pathetic and pathological kind. Obviously, Williams is not to be trusted. Nevertheless, other than the Katrina fairytales that were obviously meant to damage President Bush,

While reporting on, and aggressively defending the Clinton Foundation from numerous scandals and ethical issues, George Stephanopoulos, the star and poster boy of ABC News, hid his own conflict of interest from viewers. According to Politico, Bill Clinton’s former war

  Hallelujah for the federal government! Hallelujah for federal takeovers of the private economy! Hallelujah for socialism that means people much poorer than Chris Matthews are subsidizing Chris Matthews’ Amtrak travel. Wednesday night on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” lik almost all of

Using its verified Twitter account, the National Transportation Safety Board reported Wednesday afternoon that the Amtrak train that derailed Tuesday night in Philadelphia was moving at 100 miles per hour just prior to the derailment and crash that killed 7 and injured more than 200. According to the other reports, 100 miles per hour is twice the speed limit at the point of the crash, which was along a sharp curve. Along with 238 passengers, there were 5 crewmembers aboard the train when it crashed at around 9;30 p.m. Tuesday night.

Before the dead were counted and the facts known, the craven, partisan ghouls in our mainstream media were already using a terrible domestic tragedy to call for more government spending. The media’s politically-loaded word of the day is “infrastructure.” This

Just after 9 a.m., the morning after the Tuesday night Amtrak crash in Philadelphia, CNN was already exploiting the tragedy to attack Republicans over budget cuts. Cristina Alesci was reporting from outside a train station. The execrable Carol Costello was

After a wonderful four-hour conversation catching up with an old friend, I went to bed feeling pretty good about the world until I flipped on the news. That’s when I learned of the terrible Amtrak derailment Tuesday night in Philadelphia.

We keep hearing about how awful it is that with the rise of the Internet people now flock to news sites that fit their worldview. We keep hearing about how awful it will be if the 500 channel cable television

For going on seven years we have learned three things about President Obama: 1) He loves the poor so much he continues to create more of them. 2) He loves the poor so much he does everything in his power

With 37 reviews in, director George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” sits at an impressive 97% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Many of the reviews are outright raves and make clear that after four decades as a filmmaker, Miller went old

According to the FBI, the number of police officers killed in the line of duty nearly doubled from 27 to 51 between 2013 and 2014. That is nearly one murdered police officer a week during 2014, which was also a

***UPDATE: Halperin apologized to Cruz and “tho those who were offended” Monday and claims that the problem is that “rushed through the questions.”  A classic case of racism occurs when a powerful white man intentionally abuses his power to humiliate

When you are dealing with the mainstream media, it is always difficult to tell if you are dealing with willful ignorance or just plain old ignorance-ignorance. There are plenty of moronic savants in the national media who have cracked the “hot take” code to please their left-wing masters but have no fundamental grasp of history, or much of anything much of else.

— It is almost beyond my comprehension that Bill O’Reilly could co-author a book about Jesus Christ and then say this: Reverend [Franklin] Graham reflects the Christian view that you don’t demean other people unnecessarily. Jesus would not have sponsored

There were more than a few weak Burt Reynolds’ films salvaged by end-credit outtakes and bloopers, which were always hilarious. You never wanted them to end. The effect was manipulative and brilliant.  Instead of exiting the theater with the bad

“The Book of Mormon,” a long-running Broadway smash in left-wing New York City, is the intellectual equivalent to Pam Geller’s Draw Muhammad Cartoon Contest. Both use art and satire to poke a finger in the eye of a particular religion.

The not so-slow motion train wreck that is Al Jazeera America (AJA) continues to roll on. The Qatar-owned cable news network is, though, the proverbial tree in a forest that implodes with no one around to hear. The implosion stories

Thomas B. Edsall, a New York Times opinion writer, thought he was being clever taking something I wrote completely out of context. He then lifted this Straw Man into the air for all of his slavish followers to see before

Not unlike the unverified audio CNN ran with just as things settled down in in the burnt-out city of Ferguson, apparently Tuesday’s attempt by CNN to extend its anti-cop hate campaign also fizzled. That’s bad news for CNN. Unless the

Even before I started working for Andrew Breitbart in late-2008, I had been using every means at my disposal to expose Ben Smith, the current editor-in-chief at BuzzFeed, for the partisan sleaze he is. He was a leftwing partisan sleaze,

Wasn’t it just last month our country (and the media) celebrated and honored the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King baiting, inciting and setting a mousetrap for hate-filled savages on a bridge in Selma, Alabama? I believe it was. What

Because in reality they don’t give a damn about poor black people, the mainstream media spent much of last week attempting to justify the burning and looting of 200 small businesses in Baltimore as a legitimate form of protest. This
