CNN offered another clue Monday morning into how a properly-run CNN under Discovery and boss Chris Licht might look as New Day introduced a new segment called “Upon Further Review” to reexamine stories that, once facts emerged, showed something was different than the initial narrative. With the ever-pompous John Avlon at the helm, the first installment touched on the debunked claims…

Never mind the darn facts, Brigham Young University is way over-reacting to a racism hoax and punishing the innocent. 

A former teammate of Penn U transgender swimmer William “Lia” Thomas asserted the controversial athlete is “mentally ill.” The anonymous Thomas critic made her remarks in an exclusive interview with Christopher Tremoglie of the Washington Examiner. 

On Monday, Good Morning America aired their delayed ABC News/ESPN exclusive interview with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, who switched genders and crushed actual female swimmers to win an NCAA Division I Swimming title. And, as predicted, the Disney-owned channel largely laid it on thick for Thomas.

For three long seasons, Pennsylvania University student William Thomas toiled at the back of the pack in men’s collegiate swimming. To say he was an also-ran would be an insult to also-runs. After ranking a woeful 462nd in men’s swimming, he re-invented himself as “Lia” Thomas, a transgender “woman.” 

There is much more to the story of “Lia” Thomas and women’s swimming at the University of Pennsylvania than the unfairness of his physical superiority. The Washington Examiner reported that the university failed to follow through on its promise to make Thomas, the male claiming to be a female, dress in separate quarters. 

The NCAA is not even pretending to care about women in sports anymore. Rachel Gaines, a senior at the University of Kentucky, tied with Lia Thomas for fifth in the 200-meter women's championships last month, but even though she tied with the biological male, she was forced to pose for photos with the sixth place trophy while Thomas was awarded the fifth.

An entire NCAA “March Madness” Tourney just passed by and television broadcasters failed to mention one word about the serious investigation hanging over national champion Kansas. Neither CBS, TNT, TBS nor TruTv brought it up at any time in their coverage of the tournament spanning mid-March to early April. 

CBS and Turner Broadcasting System have announced a most peculiar addition to their broadcast team for the NCAA Tournament (aka March Madness). It’s Rex Chapman, an incoming CNN+ host and longtime far Left-wing nut job with a very troubling resume and an aversion to truth. 

Long before “Republicans Pounce!” they had “wedge issues.” They used them to divide people and, according to an AP report, they still do. Today’s GOP wedge issue of choice is transgenderism – you know, the mental health problem that’s sweeping the nation? Conservatives and Republicans (and lots of other normal folks) are bewildered and revulsed by the trans craze, and so it’s coming up in GOP…

One liberal sports writer is foaming at the mouth over a Pennsylvania newspaper article celebrating the life of one their student athletes turned soon-to-be NFL player and praising his mother for choosing not to abort him.

Exit President Trump, enter Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX). The Texas governor is now the new favorite political target of outspoken San Antonio Spurs Coach Greg Popovich and ESPN’s resident cuckoo Keith Olbermann. Both lefties attacked Abbott for lifting the state’s mask mandate on Tuesday.

Actor and director Nick Searcy is no stranger to the blasphemy of the Twitter mob … but thankfully he's kept not only his ground but his account as well. Most commonly known as Art Mullen in the TV series Justified, Searcy lamented the lack of fans at the NCAA game Feb 6, and noted that leftists “ruin everything.” He’s not wrong.

On Thursday afternoon’s CNN Newsroom, host John King conspired with sports analyst Christine Brennan to politicize and fearmonger about the Big Ten announcing that it is playing football this fall. Brennan, resembling a Democratic operative more than a sports journalist, accused President Trump of pushing the Big Ten presidents into “steering their student athletes right into the…
