At the Washington Post political blog, The Fix, Chris Cillizza (a good reporter) looks at a recent Pew report on the state of the media and comes to a surprisingly simplistic conclusion. I’m not going to argue with Pew’s numbers,
Breitbart News was the first to report that CNN contributor Roland Martin’s contract would not be renewed by the network. That contract expires April 6. Since our report, CNN confirmed the news to Politico, and Martin himself has circulated the
In response to Amazon Prime and the perception of value: Overall, I love buying things online because it stiffs the government for the sales tax. This habit started when my wife and I lived in Los Angeles and noticed that
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
Twitchy.com busts NBC Washington and the oh-so lauded New York Times for reporting yesterday that Pope Francis had a Twitter account. Except, you know, he didn’t. Keep showing us the way, mainstream media! Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC
Well, shoot… When I pulled Toure’s name in the office pool to see who would be the first lefty to race-bait CPAC, it seemed like a sure winner. In Toure’s defense, though, his MSNBC show doesn’t air until the afternoon,
Four Americans dead, all kinds of political intrigue swirls around the story, and there remains an untold tale about what was likely a harrowing escape; and yet there is no indication whatsoever from the media that they are at all
Throughout the late-thirties and forties, 20th Century-Fox released a series of charming Technicolor musicals. While no classics emerged — no “Singin’ In the Rain” or “Bandwagon” — crowds were pleased in droves by the fluffy boy-meets-girl stories set in soundstage
Alternate headline: “Ezra Klein Hit Hardest.” NYT: Chris Hayes will take over the 8 p.m. time slot on MSNBC in the next month, the channel is planning to announce on Thursday morning, the day after the current host of that
**UPDATE: This is a poll of voters in the bellwether swing-state of Pennsylvania, a state Obama won by a margin of 52.6 to 46.6. A Quinnipiac poll released today confirms what we’re seeing throughout the polling world about the state of
A couple weeks ago, the last living legend in journalism, Bob Woodward — the man who took down a corrupt president and for the last forty years has remained at the top of his profession — made the biggest mistake
5:09 pm: John Allen of the National Catholic Reporter describes Pope Francis as “unwaveringly orthodox on matters of sexual morality.” Bergoglio is seen an unwaveringly orthodox on matters of sexual morality, staunchly opposing abortion, same-sex marriage, and contraception. In 2010
Your feel-good report of the day: Olbermann is now a Twitter punchline, Al Gore’s Current TV is no more, and both losers are beating one another senseless in a $50 million lawsuit that Deadline reports was settled confidentially yesterday in
When the hype surrounding a film focuses on its “gorgeous visuals,” there’s reason to worry. This usually means that we’re in for a “Avatar”/”Hugo”/”Tintin” experience where the film looks great but the story is duller than National Public Radio. Thankfully,
Yesterday, I complained somewhat loudly that the media was collectively ignoring Obama’s fall from grace in the polls, especially with respect to his handling of the economy. This morning, in a front-page spread, the Washington Post became an exception: The
Jerry Kammer at the Center for Immigration Studies takes a look at how the New York Times has moved from a thoughtful pro-immigrant paper to a destructive force that encourages illegal immigration and demonizes the other side: Far from seeking
