In a Splashy Front-Pager, WashPost Slimes Tucker Carlson as ‘The Bully Pundit’

Friday’s Washington Post splashed a big headline on the front of the Style section with a picture of number-one Fox News host Tucker Carlson and the words “The bully pundit: Fox News host Tucker Carlson often launches attacks on journalists. And once he’s off the air, the zealots who follow him start lobbing hate tweets and death threats.”

The Associated Press Stylebook Is A Growing Mouthpiece For Leftist Language Manipulation

The AP Stylebook has guided the media industry on language use since 1953, decades after releasing similar guides and rules for professional writing — like the 1909 first internal edition. The AP is arguably the most influential news agency in the world, with 248 news bureaus in 99 countries. Its work forms the basis for most articles read inside the United States.

Chad Prather: Texas Venue Wanted to Censor Comedian’s Jokes

“Some of the people who work at the theater, they said, ‘they were kind of offended last night, and I said, ‘f*** ’em. What are you gonna do? You asked for a comedian to come in here. You can’t ask for a guy to change what he does. Lenny Bruce, George Carlin … they went to jail for comedy. We’re not going back to those days when we tell somebody what they can and cannot do,” he said.

Rabbis jump to Tucker Carlson’s defense after ADL boss calls for his resignation over ‘racist’ rhetoric

The Anti-Defamation League is facing pushback from some Jewish leaders after the organization called on Fox News host Tucker Carlson to resign.

“Alas, the ADL has become markedly partisan under your leadership,” a group of 1,500 rabbis wrote to ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, urging the group to “discard its partisan preoccupations and undertake an urgently needed course correction.”

The controversy started when Carlson aired a segment accusing Democrats of being pro-immigration because they are hoping to “replace the current electorate” with voters who are friendlier to Democrats.

The ADL is just a wing of the Democrat Party.

Cancel culture is real — and it’s getting worse

Cancel culture is real — and it’s getting worse

Both conservatives and liberals should oppose the new censoriousness

In a recent article, UnHerd’s science editor Tom Chivers argues that culture war debates are futile because the people on each side are working with different definitions of key terms. He takes ‘cancel culture’ as an example, arguing that “there’s nothing solid there to argue about” since the term has “no stable or universally agreed definition”. For Chivers, debating the existence of cancel culture is “all mood affiliation and tribalism”.

Richmond’s Rage of the Woke

The city’s iconoclastic frenzy, supported by local leaders, has left a historic avenue with stumps and graffiti.

Beautifully landscaped with ample medians and harmoniously lined with gracious houses in various historic styles, Richmond, Virginia’s block-paved Monument Avenue and its several statuary tributes to Confederate leaders were once recognized as a triumph of American urban design. The residential frontages served admirably as a variegated frame for the monuments, creating a superb urban tableau that it made no sense to eradicate—especially as the monuments lost ideological currency with the passage of time, as monuments often do.

Why Lefties Knifed Dr. Seuss – Part I

Liberals loved Dr. Seuss’s children’s books because the cartoonist and author, Theodor Suess Geisel, was one of them. He drew some cartoons in his youth, back in the early part of the 20th century, that became politically incorrect decades later. Still, the Left cared nothing about that until Melania Trump praised Dr. Seuss in 2017.

Ng: In Defense of Clint Eastwood‘s ‘Gran Torino,‘ Now Under Attack from Left-Wing Cancel Mob

It was only a matter of time before the left-wing cancel mob came for Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood’s 2008 movie about a bigoted retired autoworker and his Asian Hmong neighbors. The racial epithets spewed by protagonist Walt Kowalski are so prolific that it’s hard to imagine the movie being released under today’s ultra-woke Hollywood standards.

Yup. That’s where Kath got the inscription on her marker.

The Left’s War on Free Speech

The Left wants to ban “hate speech” using the powerful national institutions they now govern. They do not hide this intention but say so openly. Powerful tools—like Big Tech, a nearly unified press, and the national security state—give speech restrictionists the impression that this goal can and should be pursued. But exactly what kind of speech do they want to ban, and exactly how would this ban transform America?
