After nearly 3 years of ratings failure (to say the least), Al Jazeera America will finally be put out of its misery this April. Since its 2013 launch, not only has the left-wing cable news network failed to deliver anything
CNN’s Chris Cuomo openly promised Tuesday that CNN will help the White House in a “shame campaign” to get Congress to act on education. During an interview with Obama’s Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, Cuomo also promised to use the

More than four decades after Muslims slaughtered seven people in a home he purchased, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar argues at Time that blaming Islam for the Charlie Hebdo murders says more about our ignorance of Islam than it does about the shortcomings of the religion itself.
If there were ever really a bright moment in the sun for Charlie Hebdo magazine’s slain writers and editors to be hailed as free speech martyrs, it’s just about over. The Left is very uneasy with the notion of celebrating people who delighted in trampling on sacred narratives about power and victimization. To be brutally frank, modern “liberals” aren’t all that wild about free speech, either.
Last week, Vox’s Max Fisher wrote a stirring defense of Charlie Hebdo’s anti-Islamic extremism cartoons. This week, he says the magazine is racist.
Earlier today, the attorney representing French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo announced that, “obviously,” Muhammad would be depicted as a cartoon on the cover of the magazine this week. In the first issue since radical Islamists killed 12 in retaliation for previous Muhammad illustrations, Muhammad appears on the cover holding a sign that reads, “I am Charlie.”
For the Obama administration, skipping the Paris unity march was the lesser of two evils. Attending would surely have garnered some praise from the media but it also would have been hard to explain on the domestic and international front.
Al Jazeera America’s inevitable collapse has begun with the elimination of all of its morning programming. Instead of producing its own programming, the basement-rated cable news network will simply re-broadcast Al Jazeera programs from its parent studio in Qatar. Also
Activist against radical Islam Pamela Geller told Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon that the mainstream media is not only avoiding reporting of jihad related news “When it comes to Islam the mainstream media by and large is enforcing the Sharia.”
Like most female tech executives, Marissa Mayer is a feminist’s worst nightmare. For one thing, she is ruthlessly focused on merit, claiming to be “gender blind,” which annoys women-in-tech campaigners no end. They say women should be given special consideration
On Sunday, Vice News ran a story arguing the government needs to treat guns like cars and regulate them heavily.
On Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125 from 7PM to 10PM EST, Breitbart News Executive Chairman and host Stephen K. Bannon will talk about the most important news events and interview a number of guests about the conservative House rebellion against Speaker John Boehner, the terrorist attack in Paris, and events taking place at the border among many other things.
In today’s edition of Political Correctness Makes You Stupid, while referring to Amedy Coulibaly, one of the Islamic terrorists killed by French police in a hostage standoff Friday, instead of describing him as black (which he was), CNN’s Chris Cuomo
After months of rumors things were finally made official Friday with the announcement that Kate Bolduam is being replaced by former Fox News veteran Alisyn Camerota as co-host of CNN’s troubled morning show, “New Day.” Although Camerota is already co-hosting
The Santa Barbara News-Press will not change its usage of the term “illegals” to describe people in the United States without permission, despite an attack on Wednesday night or Thursday morning that left the message, “The border is illegal, not the people who cross it,” spray-painted in red on its front entrance.
In the book, Dershowitz argues that the main reason terrorism continues is that it tends to be rewarded, even by the nations that fight it hardest. He cites France as an example of a “capitulating” nation–one that breaks international unity against terrorism by cutting deals with terrorist organizations in the hope that its own citizens will be left alone in the future.
Stéphane Charbonnier (Charb for short) was often accused of Islamophobia, but he rejected that label, saying it was “backward thinking.”
Salon published an article titled “We must stop deferring to religion: Laughable absurdities must be laughed at.” The piece, which directly connects the murders in Paris Wednesday to Islam, is a departure for a magazine which has spent nearly a decade beating a drum against Christian theocracy in America even as it attacks critics of Islam as Islamophobes.
In the wake of the attack on a French satirical paper yesterday, the progressive left has renewed an argument which says anyone who believes Islamic extremism is at war with western culture is an extremist themselves.
If that doesn’t clear it up for you, let’s put it bluntly: White pride is always racism, always. Here’s why.
“Dish Has Lost 90,000 Subs from Fox News Blackout”—that’s the January 7 headline from Multichannel News, a cable trade magazine. As reported here at Breitbart News last month, the fight between Fox News and the Dish Network—Dish dropped Fox in a contract dispute—has escalated into a war. And Dish is losing.
CNN president Jeff Zucker told staffers Thursday that “the safety of our employees” is the reason the cable news network is not broadcasting the Charlie Hebdo Muhammad cartoons on the air or across any of the network’s other platforms. THR
In a comment released to Breitbart News Thursday, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin blasted “Today Show” co-host Savannah Guthrie for her “lovefest” with Lena Dunham Wednesday morning. Due to her own experience with Guthrie on Tuesday, the Governor used the
On Thursday, MSNBC’s Luke Russert teed up some questions for House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), allowing him to spew talking points defending his so-called conservatism. At least Boehner didn’t claim he was “severely conservative” like Mitt Romney did. Russert, an
I don’t much feel like re-posting the Muhammad cartoons for which Charlie Hebdo became famous. It’s not a matter of fear, or political correctness. A decade ago, I was living in the heart of the Muslim community in Cape Town, writing articles against fundamentalism and in defense of the U.S. and Israel even while I enjoyed breaking Ramadan fasts with friends and neighbors. I did so at some considerable risk to my personal safety. I was lucky to meet religious Muslims who wanted nothing to do with violence–and it is precisely because of those relationships that I choose not to offend, even while standing with Charlie Hebdo.
