Obviously, the American Conservative Union (ACU) didn’t get the memo. After all, Governor Palin is irrelevant, donchaknow. At least that’s what the mainstream media told me, and the mainstream media never lies. Was that the sound of Katie Couric’s head

Only a few hours after his impressive Iowa showing, the openly left-wing media is already making an issue out of what’s being called Rick Santorum’s “Google problem,” and they are doing this for a sinister, partisan, and dishonest reason. The

This morning on Bloomberg TV’s “In the Loop,” RNC Chairman Reince Priebus did an admirable of job staying on message as host Betty Liu tried to pretend Republicans were in some kind of awful chaos because they haven’t chosen a

Interesting analysis below, but what’s most glaring is that neither Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid nor House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi received enough attention from our brave Late Night gang to even rank on this list. However! Two years-plus out

Fascinating analysis. Four key points have been cherry-picked by me, but you’ll want to read the whole thing. THR: 1. “We believe 2012 will be a watershed year for the media industry and serve as a historic inflection point for

***UPDATE: Wegmans Food market apologizes, puts ads back on the air. Baldwin stars on one of the lowest-rated “cultural phenoms” (according to the dishonest entertainment media) on television, regularly insults a large segment of the customers (those who are not

The overrated Meryl Streep (whose acting meter broke decades ago) proves once again that this current crop of actors the world is saddled with is about as classless a bunch as we’ll ever see (hopefully). Not content to enjoy the

Ah, Politico. JournOlism at its finest. Here we have the first real vote of the 2012 season with all eyes on the GOP, and Mike Allen’s idea of a “headliner ” for his live stream’s “instant analysis” is DNC Chair

Over and over and over we keep reading about how Hollywood’s holiday box office was some sort of silver lining in an otherwise dark cloud. But once again, the context-challenged entertainment media only tells us half the story. Here’s a

A narrative growing around former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is that he avoids right-of-center news outlets. A few weeks ago, the Daily Caller’s Matt Lewis stood by a piece the Romney camp disputed that took issue with the fact that

MUSLIM WHINING AT ALL-TIME POP CULTURE HIGH Hit play on both videos embedded here. After the first video plays on each player, a second set of clips runs automatically, and that’s when the crybabying really begins. “The Muslims Are Coming!”

Good article from the “L.A. Times,” touching on how the Internet has forever altered television viewing habits and what this means for the business end of it: Television production studio executives long have been wary of Hulu and other forms

Hollywood is like a child, a spoiled child you can’t help loving but desperately want to see do and be better. Hollywood can be cruel and petulant, small and bigoted, hateful and depraved. But every once in a while you

“Tree of Life” grossed a pretty pathetic $13 million, “Happy Feet Two” grossed an abysmal $60 million, and “Moneyball” grossed only an okay $75 million. But in this market, where the concept of the movie star is all but dead,

IS ‘BATTLE: LOS ANGELES’ THE MOST UNDERRATED MOVIE OF 2011? If it wasn’t for the evil shaky-cam, this would rank as a contemporary conservative classic right alongside “300,” “Taken,” and “The Dark Knight.” Battle: Los Angeles is a totally un-ironic

Personally, I don’t care what Michelle Antoinette wears on her taxpayer-funded lavish Hawaiian vacations with her husband President FailureTeleprompterDuffer. Thanks to an autobiography that was probably ghost-written by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, Obama’s a millionaire and more power to him.

So many elements of this five-part HBO mini-series (available next week on DVD and Blu-ray) are impeccable, including the production design, cinematography, and an overall production value that takes you back to the 1930’s Los Angeles in the most believable

‘LADY AND THE TRAMP’ ARRIVES ON BLU-RAY FEBRUARY 7 The link above is a hi-def clip from the upcoming Diamond Edition, which will be a three-pack that includes a Blu-ray, DVD, and digital copy. ‘TRANSFORMERS’ FANS REJOICE Coming Jan 31:

THIS YEAR’S LIBRARY OF CONGRESS SELECTIONS FOR THE NATIONAL FILM REGISTRY The Big Heat (1953) – You always enjoy seeing personal favorites receive the recognition they deserve, and this hard-boiled noir starring Glenn Ford, Gloria Grahame and Lee Marvin is

The subtext of this unbelievably stupid article brought to us courtesy of The Incredible Shrinking Los Angeles Times, is that adultery sells on television because our society is changing to the point where we’re now warming up to the idea

It is inconceivable to me that on issues not involving the fairly declarative Ten Commandments, anyone would skew the Hebrew Scriptures or the New Testament into something that fits their partisan political point of view. And as far as the

Van Halen Reunites With David Lee Roth Years ago I predicted the exact date this would happen: The second Tuesday after everyone stopped caring. Whether you like their music or not, go back and watch Van Halen in their late

Something to understand about how bias works in the corrupt mainstream media is that it has less to do with what Obama’s Media Palace Guards cover than what you might think. Frequently, bias can be found in what isn‘t covered,

DO 2012’s NEW RELEASES PROMISE A BOX OFFICE COMEBACK? In the New York Times story I wrote about earlier today, there was this quote: The good news for Hollywood is that the first quarter of 2012 looks much stronger than

1. Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol: $26.5M — The only real bright spot, the only unqualified hit of the season. Cruise’s 4th outing with impossible missions should exceed the take of the last one. You can’t ask for more than

According to the New York Times, even with upwards of 40 blockbusters released in 3D (meaning much higher ticket prices), box office revenues in North America dropped 4.5% this year. In worse news, overall attendance dropped 5.3%, which means that

Is Colbert’s trained-seal audience even enjoying these increasingly pathetic and boorish stunts? You’d think there would be a cheaper and more dignified way to kiss Barack Obama’s ass. Like, say, actually doing so. Associated Press: Comedian Stephen Colbert is offering

‘WAR HORSE’ WARNING FOR PARENTS FROM ORSON BEAN Yesterday Orson emailed me a heads up for parents with respect to Steven Spielberg’s “War Horse,” which hits theatres Sunday. Some vague plot points are given away, so consider this a spoiler

Writer/director J.C. Chandor makes the kind of debut that assures we’ll be seeing more from him, and that’s a very good thing. Part “Wall Street,” part “Glengarry Glen Ross,” “Margin Call” takes us back to 2008, just before the economic

You have to figure that after they turned that nothingburger of a story about age-old sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain into a firestorm of a narrative, Politico has pretty much decided that it’s just too much work to keep

Director Charles Martin Smith’s “Dolphin Tale” was one of the few pleasant surprises in what has been an otherwise disappointing year for Hollywood at the box office. Over the fall, the 3D children’s film, based on the true story of

—— Other than focusing the narrative on former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the only other news here is how bad Julianne Moore’s accent is and that the tele-film will broadcast this coming March. As far as the film itself, I

Where to begin with my disappointment? Fishbowl DC editor Betsy Rothstein promised (in writing, no less) retaliation against Big Government. For some reason, that didn’t happen. Worse still, what was flung at me came in the form of … an
