NYU Fires Nir Rosen, Liberal Writer Who Slammed Lara Logan as ‘War Monger’

Despite my attempt this morning to draw feminist fire, they were too busy claiming the scalp of a left-wing anti-war writer: Nirs Rosen has lost his prestigious fellowship at New York University’s Center for Law and Security. Academic fellowships are how the Left rewards journalists who advance the Left’s agenda, an academic subsidy that enables […]

Paging Jill Filipovic

Please tell me what I am permitted to say when a gang of Egyptian men celebrates the end of the Mubarak regime by sexually assaulting an American TV news reporter: Maybe Egyptians could use one of Filipovic’s pious lectures about “no means no” and “stop means stop.” I’d probably be accused of some sort of […]

Egypt: Mubarak Resigns
