Schocker: 26-Year-Old Guy Willing to Have Sex With Creepy Old Shep Smith

Supposedly the point of this big Gawker “exclusive” is that Shep Smith — who works at the eee-evil Fox News — is gay. But that is certainly not surprising to anyone who’s ever seen the Drama Queen of Afternoon News in action. Here’s a headline I ran in May 2012: Fox News Closet Case (Who’s […]

You Stay Classy, Atheists!

Dana Perino was on Fox News discussing a lawsuit by atheists who don’t like kids having to say “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance: “I’m tired of them. I remember working at the Justice Department years ago when I first started right after 9/11 and a lawsuit like this came through, and before the […]

Tattooed Harlot Sydney Leathers: She’s Totally an Expert on ‘Self-Loathing’

It is rather amusing to recall that when Sydney Leathers was first identified as Anthony Weiner’s sexting partner, some conservatives hesitated to name her, presuming her to be the victim of a predator.

Who’s the Liberal: Hannity or Coulter?

Sean Hannity has a bad habit of interrupting and hectoring guests he disagrees with and, in the case of the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill, Hannity has evidently decided that criticism of Marco Rubio is impermissible. This led to an interesting exchange Wednesday night: Hannity asked [Ann Coulter] what she would do about the estimated […]

‘Mommy, Why Is an Orange Man on TV?’

Instead of calling it Obama’s war on whistleblowers, let’s just call it what it is: Obama’s war on journalism. — Eli Lake (@EliLake) May […]

Why Did Fox News and Townhall Scrub the Todd Starnes ‘Saudi National’ Story?

Let me start by saying that I consider the obsession with the “Saudi national” — a student who was questioned after the Boston Marathon bombing — an annoying distraction from the main story of the terrorist act committed by the Brothers Tsarnaev. This is not to say that the story isn’t interesting in its own […]
