The news site leans to the Right, and it’s telling a powerful true story about parents gone wild via the documentary format.
“Being the Ricardos” Lectures Us on Sexism in the 50s
“Being the Ricardos” examines how Ball, her industrious beau Desi Arnaz and the minds behind “Lucy,” ran head first into the Blacklist. Yes, it’s Hollywood’s favorite narrative, and it gives “Ricardos” its sense of danger. And, of course, the film stops to deliver messages about the sexism baked into 1950s America.

Out of Control Cancel Culture Targets “Seinfeld” Reruns
The far-left Screen Rant decided, apparently, that 2021 is the year to kickstart “Seinfeld’s” cancelation. Back in May the site ran an op-ed taking down George for his problematic behavior.

Is Cancel Culture Hurting Comedy?
Ask anyone who consumes right-leaning media (or has an open mind), and the answer is a swift and assured, “Absolutely.” Try creating comedy when the wrong joke or punch line can threaten your gig, if not your entire career.

Jimmy Kimmel Mocks the Dead in Florida to Score Partisan Points
Late night television is increasingly angry, partisan and often willing to set humor aside to make partisan points. Kimmel’s latest is simply part of that trend.

It’s only a matter of time, though, before even Kimmel loyalists wonder if mocking the dead is how they want to spend their last minutes each weekday.
