  • Bailing Out Minority Broadcasters

    Selwyn Duke If you understand the relative superiority of the free market, none of our government's recent business bailouts will find favor with you. Yet, while Uncle Sam's involvement in the auto and banking sectors is bad enough, nothing is more bone-chilling than proposals to bailout media. The reason for this should be obvious. If…

  • U.S. News and Hot, Sexy Chicks

    By Selwyn Duke If you’ve ever seen the movie Idiocracy, the title of this piece may seem familiar.  The film is a dystopian comedy about a futuristic America in which complete ignorance is the norm.  People are inarticulate to the point where even those of status — politicians, doctors, etc. — mangle the language and…

  • Too Much Media Action for Jackson

    By Selwyn Duke It seems as if Michael Jackson has done the impossible. That is, he appears to be getting more media coverage — and more of the favorable variety — in death than Barack Obama does in life. Ever since the notorious entertainer suffered his untimely demise on June 25, the news has inundated…

  • A Real Duke Rape Case

    By Selwyn Duke We all remember the infamous Duke University rape frame-up case, in which three white lacrosse players were falsely accused of raping a black female stripper. It was front-page news coast to coast, as it had all the elements of a mainstream-media cause célèbre: the perfect victim and the perfect villains, a “downtrodden”…

  • Wednesday’s Savage Nation Radio Appearance: Which Side Really Inspires Violence, the Right or Left?

    https://selwynduke.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/savage-presentation-which-side-really-inspires-violence-the-right-or-left-06-24-09.mp3 With the late-term termination of abortionist Dr. George Tiller, many on the left accuse the right of inspiring violence. But what is the Truth of the matter? Can it be rightly said that people can inspire others to commit violence? And, if so, is the right more culpable than the left? Or is it…

  • Which Side Really Inspires Violence, the Right or Left?

    By Selwyn Duke Is the right responsible for inspiring murder, such as that of late-term abortionist George Tiller by Kansas native Scott Roeder?  Some certainly seem to think so.  For instance, the Friday before last Bill O’Reilly had as a guest on his show Joan Walsh, the editor of leftist news site Salon.com.  She appeared…

  • Guest Piece: What Happens When CBS Goes Bankrupt?

    By Bruce Walker Government ownership of business will cause – as history has shown so many times – gross mismanagement and inefficiency.   We can expect that, of course, but those are recoverable calamities.   What worries me more is what happens when CBS goes bankrupt?  The network news audience is dropping like a rock?  http://newsbusters.org/node/29019/hmtl.  What…

  • Guest Piece: The Biggest Problem of the Mainstream Media

    By Bruce Walker The media – newspapers, magazines, book publishing, radio, television, and film – have never at any point in the history of our nation been impartial.  Newspapers were once the whole heart and substance of our media.  They provided news, opinion, entertainment, advice, humor, advertisements and information.  Newspapers were often unabashed partisans.

  • Wednesday’s Savage Nation Appearance: Banning Truth at the Border

  • Stopping Truth at the Border: Banning Michael Savage from Britain

    By Selwyn Duke When I awoke Tuesday morning, I ambled over to the computer, as is my wont, and made my usual cyber rounds.  I logged on to the Drudge Report and, lo and behold, saw the following headline, “RADIO HOST MICHAEL SAVAGE BANNED FROM UK FOR 'EXTREME VIEWS'….”  “Wow,” I thought, “Britain strikes again.”
