A Terrible, Awful, No Good Week for the Oscars
The Oscars ceremony is like a DNC event, filled with one-sided rhetoric alienating half the country. And it worked.

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

His antics “haven’t aged well,” we’re told. Screen Rant wants every character in a sitcom to behave like a gentleman, thus negating all of George’s broad comic tics.
Tucker Carlson’s “Patriot Purge” Is, Hands Down, the Year’s Most Shocking Documentary
Producer Scooter Downey of “Hoaxed” fame assembles a damning litany of abuses by the U.S. government, aided and abetted by our corrupt media…It’s still surreal to watch so much footage of “insurrectionists” milling about in the Capitol, conversing with cops and entering the building at a casual pace.

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.
