Why Did Those Racist Crackers at CNN Keep Roland Martin From Being a Star?

Just by way of historical context, let’s remember that CNN was a trailblazer in this regard, making Bernard Shaw their primetime news anchor back in 1980. Keep that in mind in appraising the sour grapes rationalization by axed commentator Roland Martin: Roland Martin on Thursday blamed racism for his inability to get his own show  at CNN. “You have largely [...]

CNN Scrapes Bottom

John Hinderaker summarizes a panel on cop-killer Chris Dorner at The Third-Place Cable News Network Nobody Watches: CNN’s panel is excited about Chris Dorner.

CNN Endorses Terrorist Organization That Incited Gun Violence in D.C.

Nice Deb thinks the Southern Poverty Law Center should be classified as a “hate group,” but I prefer the term “terrorist organization,” because of the political/religious nature of the jihad that SPLC inspired against the Family Research Council. Also, in light of what we know about the Obama administration’s policy, it may be possible to order [...]

Help Wanted: Clairvoyant Police

Our Long National Nightmare Is Over

By which, of course, I mean Monday. It’s now 12:01 a.m. ET Tuesday, and so I kept my vow not to say a word about Re-Coronation Day. Others who chronicled the event now have stains on their pants from the orgasmic gush. Chris Matthews emitted his usual effusion of idiocy, and over on the Third-Place [...]

Rush Limbaugh Is Right: The Academic Pro-Pedophile Movement Is a Real Danger

Rush Limbaugh sparked criticism this week by pointing to an article in the British Guardian newspaper as evidence of “a movement to normalize pedophilia.” Limbaugh’s liberal critics are ridiculing his contention, but the movement he described is very real. In 2002, Judith Levine published Harmful to Minors, a book which stirred a massive controversy because of [...]

Does any sane person take Alex Jones seriously, except as a deranged menace? — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) January 8, 2013 Remember when Alex Jones sicced a mob of kooks on Michelle Malkin during the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver? “She wants to put us in camps!” Crazy is not a political philosophy, and [...]

CNN’s Foreign Subversive Piers Morgan ‘Threatens’ to Leave U.S. Over Guns

At the end of a long rambling anti-gun diatribe: In conclusion, I can spare those Americans who want me deported a lot of effort by saying this: If you don’t change your gun laws to at least try to stop this relentless tidal wave of murderous carnage, then you don’t have to worry about deporting [...]
