Is Hunter Biden’s Laptop Killing Twitter as We Know It?
Who’da thunk? By now the story is famous – actually, make that infamous. In October of 2020, as the Trump-Biden presidential race comes thundering down the closing weeks, The New York Post comes out with serious breaking news. And what happened next? Here’s a sample headline, this one from The Washington Examiner: "Twitter blocks New York Post Hunter Biden…
Mark Wahlberg Breaks Ranks with A-List Hollywood (Big Time)
Father Stu star slams Cancel Culture, demands path to forgiveness. Hollywood’s biggest stars use every pulpit possible to send a message to the masses. One topic rarely comes up during these moments, though, even if it impacts virtually every star in the Hollywood galaxy. Cancel Culture. Enter Mark Wahlberg.
Column: Elon Musk's Takeover of Twitter Could Totally Remake Politics
It was the stock buyout heard ‘round the world. Tesla owner Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter could save the whole concept of online free speech and alter politics and elections globally for years to come.
A Solution to Children's Book Propaganda
Bookstores now sell only certain kinds of children’s books. “Go into Barnes & Noble,” says Bethany Mandel in my new video, “and you will be met with a wall of biographies. Probably 27 different books about former Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Great. A ton about Kamala Harris. Great.” But where are the biographies on conservatives? There weren’t any. She found lots on people…
Media Collusion of Hunter Biden/Joe Biden Bombshell Story
About three weeks before the 2020 election, the New York Post published a bombshell, election-changing story about presidential candidate Joe Biden's son, Hunter, that, if true, derailed Joe Biden's claim to know nothing about his son's multimillion-dollar influence peddling. The Post claimed: “Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top…
The Left Is the Culture War Aggressor
Last week, reporter Christopher Rufo released footage of top Disney employees vowing to inject their radical LGBTQ agenda into children's programming. Disney producer Latoya Raveneau told an all-hands meeting that her team works to push a "not-at-all-secret gay agenda" in programming aimed at kids and sought to add "queerness" to such content.
Media Lead To Yet Another Debunked Embarrassment: Never Mind!
And the hits just keep on coming. One would think that having been humiliated by their coverage – um, make that lack of coverage – of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, the liberal media would be just a tad more thoughtful when covering the latest supposed news. That “news,” NewsBusters’ Bill D’Agostino reported, was about a supposed “seven-hour gap in the White House call logs from January 6,…
Variety Shows True Colors With Take on Daily Wire’s Disney Challenge
August publication can’t hide its disdain for conservative site’s culture war attack. You don’t need a background in media bias to spot it today. You won’t find a better example than Variety’s report on The Daily Wire’s new entertainment plans.
Hollywood Face-Slaps Conservatives
Goodness! What a night. During the live broadcast of the Academy Awards, actor Will Smith walked up to the stage and face-slapped comedian Chris Rock. When Smith returned to his seat, he unleashed a profanity-laced tirade -- muted by the show’s producer -- at Rock. What did Rock do to warrant the attack? He told a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. “Jada, I love ya,” Rock said. “‘G.I…
A Potent Midterm Strategy: Walk Forward Better
It’s an old Washington political trick. When you’re in trouble, change the subject. When President Biden’s poll numbers are low and falling, when the economy has produced the worst inflation in four decades and gas prices in some states have reached record highs, when he claims we should expect food shortages and produces gaffes instead of gas and then refuses to walk them back, even after…
The Media's Hunter Biden Embarrassment Continues
Last week in this space, the late arrival of the New York Times to the Hunter Biden “laptop-from-hell” was noted – along with the damage to the “paper-of-record’s” credibility. Now the embarrassment has spread, as it should.
TDS: Gaffigan, Stern Blame Smith’s Oscar Slap on…Trump
Hard-left comics stretch, and strain, to make events fit their warped world view. Suffice to say Trump Derangement Syndrome didn’t end when The Apprentice star left the Oval Office. Late night comedians still feast on anything tied to Donald Trump, real or imagined (That helps them ignore the Biden administration’s calamitous year in office).
The Slap Heard Around the World
This week, Will Smith -- perhaps the most bankable star of his generation -- won an Oscar for Best Actor for “King Richard.” But that wasn’t why he made headlines. He made headlines because during the Academy Awards ceremony, comedian Chris Rock told a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Jada, it seems, suffers from alopecia; Rock, presumably not knowing about her condition, made a…
The Truth About Taking Refugees
Millions flee Ukraine. Where will they go? Some want to come to America. But doing that legally is hard. A complex system is supposed to determine which people deserve to get in line to get in. “The line is broken,” explains Reason Magazine editor at large Matt Welch in my new video. For example, America has a nursing shortage, but immigration authorities turn away foreign nurses.
