In 1958 legendary CBS News journalist Edward R. Murrow, who had famously dared to criticize Senator Joseph McCarthy on his show at the height of his power and popularity in the Second Red Scare, gave a speech to a dinner of Television & Radio Corporate CEOs and Bigwigs, and famously spoke truth...

Maybe they can temporarily convert the North Wilkesboro, Martinsville, and Rockingham Speedways into soccer stadiums! And I'm sure that the MAGA locals in those places will be so happy to greet all of those foreigners and Latino Americans pouring in to watch the games - armed with shotguns and...

This This poor girl - she has suffered so much for flunking a poorly-written and argued research paper. How dare that evil Communist Liberal Marxist Godless professor give her a failing grade! That professor's entire academic career must be totally destroyed in vengeance for flunking this Angel...

I've never heard of her either. As a liberal, what exactly am I supposed to be outraged about according to Fox - what has she done to cause a non-existent meltdown among liberals? Fox loves straining at gnats to find something to get their viewers angry or overjoyed about regarding liberals.

Doeren goes well beyond just saying something "truthful" - he's also basically called our players pieces of shit and said that his players have a better work ethic (blue-collar heroes versus UNC "elites") which is also bullshit. Yes he's beaten us several years in a row now and if he wants to...

None of Trump's cabinet appointees should have their positions, they should all be at a superhero or comic book convention cosplaying the roles they now actually hold. One can just see Hegseth striking poses in a military uniform and fake machine gun in front of admiring overweight MAGA nerds...

Sounds like the media double standard in our current political climate as well. Probably not accidental that the fan base of one school generally leans one way politically and the fan base of the other leans the other way.

Maybe, but I'll believe the GOP is finally turning on Trump when I see it actually happen in large numbers. We've been hearing this for nearly a decade now, and it has yet to happen in more than a few isolated cases, like Lynne Cheney. Chuck Schumer is still waiting for it to happen after...

Good, and I hope they continue that strategy, because MAGA has shown that while they'll crawl over glass to vote for Dear Leader, they're not nearly as willing to turn out to vote for his minions in lesser races in off-year and midterm elections. Just let them keep pissing off everyone else and...

Watching Hegseth cosplay being an alpha male macho warrior and then turning into a simpering coward trying to pass the buck down the line in a desperate effort to save his ass is peak MAGA beta cuck male behavior. Pretty much every male in this despicable and disgraceful administration -...

That and he knows that if he talks trash and insults us after they win it will thrill their fan base even more and make them even more pleased with him. We've become his ticket to job security at NC State. It's not just that they've been regularly beating us, it's his very vocal rubbing it in...

No doubt she probably meant it as a joke, but it's very likely that Trump actually believes it. And this happens all the time at his cabinet meetings - just embarrassing and over-the-top compliments and brown nosing. She knows what she's doing, and it goes beyond just making a joke.

Oh, my god, I can't believe that she actually said that. Well, it's Kristi so maybe I can, but still. His cabinet meetings resemble the high command meetings of Stalin or Hitler or Mussolini or some Third World dictator in their final days - endless over-the-top butt kissing and compliments and...

Starting with Nixon, I remember reading books and articles where they discussed Republicans talking in a racial "code" - or dog whistles where most people would understand what they were getting at without them having to say it openly. Like the infamous Willie Horton ad from the first Bush's...
