  • Media: “Browning of America” Good, “Bleaching Out” of San Fran Bad

    By Selwyn Duke Pugnacious pundit Ann Coulter is in the news again, talking about her latest book Adios, America!: The Left’s Plan to Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hellhole. As some might guess, its theme is that our current immigration regime — 85 percent of our immigrants hail from the Third World and…

  • Media Group That Showed 13-year-old Boys Kissing Now Considering Sitcom Involving Anti-Christian Bigot

    By Selwyn Duke He has been called “one of the cruelest, most vile political activists in America.” And now he may have his own television show. It was a first when ABC Family aired an episode of The Fosters in which it showed two 13-year-old boys kissing. Now Disney-ABC Television Group is considering another first:…

  • Gender Distender: Facebook’s 58+Infinity “Gender” Options

    By Selwyn Duke “Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality,” wrote Lewis Carroll. And in recent times, reality has been losing that war. It used to be that you’d be asked what your “sex” was, and even flipping a coin yielded a 50 percent chance of being right. Now “sex” has been…

  • Giuliani and Communist Obama? Unclothed Emperors and Unfashionable Truths

    By Selwyn Duke In the tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” a vain emperor is swindled by two men who claim they can make him a special suit of garments invisible to the stupid or incompetent. When he later parades around naked in public, no one wants to state the obvious for fear of appearing the…

  • Brian Williams Admits Peddling False Story of Taking Fire in Iraq

    By Selwyn Duke NBC newsman Brian Williams (shown) said that while covering the Iraq War in 2003, he’d come under fire. Now many are calling for him to be fired. Because his story, which he has repeated more than once, is false. Writes the Washington Post: Williams said he was not aboard a helicopter that…

  • Duck and No Cover: Brit Media Scared to Show Charlie Hebdo Cover

    By Selwyn Duke Never in the field of human conflict have so many cowered so much before so few. That’s just what Winston Churchill might say were he around today observing the political correctness that reigns in his and other Western nations’ media. And a prime example occurred this past Wednesday when a British news…

  • PEGIDA, Le Pen, Fascism, and Media Ignorance

    By Selwyn Duke “You’re a fascist!” “You’re a racist, sexist, bigoted homophobe!” Media bias often leads to the thoughtless hurling of names, but reporters can’t help but exhibit a negative bias when they don’t know what the names mean in the first place. A good example is the reportage on Europe’s burgeoning anti-Islamization movements, such…

  • Je ne Suis pas Charlie — I’m Sane

    By Selwyn Duke It’s so often the case that the best thing a person can do to improve his reputation is die. John F. Kennedy is now a legendary president, but would he be estimated so highly if he’d been able to end his political career as a man and not a myth? Ah, the…

  • Liberal Lies Killed the Two NYC Cops

    By Selwyn Duke “They have blood on their hands,” said former NYC police commissioner Bernard Kerik, of Mayor Bill de Blasio, Al Sharpton and “all those who encouraged this anti-cop, racist mentality.” He was, of course, commenting on the heinous assassinations of the two NYPD officers this weekend. “All those who encouraged,” by the way,…

  • Rape and the Attack of the “Man-hating Media”

    By Selwyn Duke “History is a series of agreed-upon myths,” Napoleon Bonaparte observed cynically. Now some critics are saying that, today, current events are also a series of agreed-upon myths. “No matter what Jackie said, we should automatically believe rape claims.” This was opined by a more contemporary figure, being the recent title of a…
