Once Great Newspaper Becomes Radicals’ Rag of Record
Of course, the Grey Lady has been slouching left for a long time now. Her Op-Ed pages have gone from being piss-poor to being positively feculent. David Brooks, who I once respected, is increasingly in the grip of Trump Derangement Syndrome. And he was one of the sane ones. Sarah Jeong is a miserable twerp…

The Trouble with Tucker
The trouble with the Tucker Carlson show is that the host is insufficiently judicious as to the number and type of leftists he invites onto his program. No doubt he is striving to be "fair and balanced," but what typically happens is that Carlson asks some reasonable question of the leftist guest, which the latter…

‘Progressive’ Hate, ‘Progressive’ Projection
The Bad Hate the Good: The Southern Poverty Law Center vs. Prager University: The SPLC smears individuals and groups it differs with by labeling them as some form of "hater": "racist," "white supremacist," "extremist" and the like. That it is cited and even relied upon by The New York Times, Facebook, Amazon, Google, CNN and…

A ‘Fake News’ Smear
Donald Trump baits the so-called journalists of the lamestream media with his largely, but not entirely, true accusations of 'fake news' and what do the 'journalists' do? They bite. They take the bait. In their TDS-driven rage they verify the accusations by violating their own professional standards. Well, keep it up knuckleheads! You are destroying…

Zuck
Here: So here’s what I know about Mark Zuckerberg. During those first few weeks of Facebook’s existence, while he was assuring his fellow college students that we could trust him with their identities, he had a private conversation on instant messenger with a friend. That conversation was subsequently leaked, and published by Silicon Valley Insider. It…

Hollywood’s and the Left’s Fascination with Freaks
The denizens of HollyWeird love the freakish, the 'transgressive,' the grotesque, and the unnatural. And being leftists, they celebrate losers and screw-ups, from the legendary La La Land 'motorist' Rodney King to the shotgun murderer Tookie Williams. A characteristic of libs and lefties is that in their typical knee-jerk (reflexive as opposed to reflective) style,…

The Contribution of Hollywood Cultural Polluters to Violence
Our contemporary media dreckmeisters apparently think that the purpose of art is to degrade sensibility, impede critical thinking, glorify scumbags, and rub our noses ever deeper into sex and violence. The liberal fetishization of freedom of expression without constraint or sense of responsibility is part of the problem. But I can't let a certain sort…

Fake News: 18 School Shootings Since January 1, 2018. The Importance of Definition
The question of how many school shootings have occurred in a given place over a given period of time is an empirical question. But to answer the empirical question, one must first have answered a logically prior question, which is non-empirical. This is the conceptual question as to the definition of 'school shooting.' What counts…

The Erasure of Garrison Keillor
His work and legacy, not the man. The Stalinism of the Left at work eating its own. Of a piece with the leftist erasure of history via the destruction of monuments and statues. Leftists share this nasty tendency with Muslims with whom they work in cahoots, consciously or not. Muslims are well-known for their iconoclasm, hostility to…

The Bret Weinstein-Heather Heying Caper at Evergreen State
Having come to expect lunacy from lefties, I was not dismayed, but entertained, by the absurd bigotry that seeps out of the following passage from this Chronicle of Higher Education piece: Now the couple weighed a new option. A producer for Tucker Carlson Tonight, a prime-time show on Fox News, had asked if Mr. Weinstein…

CNN: Crude News Network
My man Hanson: Progressive media bias is now a given. The present generation of journalists and reporters tends to believe that just conveying the news no longer offers ample venue for their unappreciated talents, celebrity status, and deserved political influence.
