Our story begins with an entitled conservative prince, the commentator Ben Shapiro, who like any perfectly self-assured, capitalist man imagined he could buy anyone’s time, or at least generate some good publicity.
Turning Point USA held its annual Young Women’s Leadership Summit in Dallas over the weekend, where about a thousand conservative women in their teens and early twenties turned up to chant “Lock! Her! Up!” and watch Kellyanne Conway speak. Caesar salads and protein bars were served, The New York Times’ reports.
Sinclair Broadcasting Group, the Trump-aligned media giant, thinks everyone needs to chill the fuck out about the script it made all of its local news broadcasters read word for word! The right-leaning telecommunications company is in the spotlight after making local news anchors parrot a script about journalistic…
On the first day of the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, Jezebel spoke to women attendees about their beliefs and self-perceptions.
On Friday, the Trump administration rolled back the Obamacare birth control mandate, offering an exemption on religious or moral grounds to employers who had been required to include birth control coverage in insurance plans—and that was just the latest sign that the Trump administration is following the standard,…
Arizona Republican Senator Jeff Flake has a new book out, titled Conscience of a Conservative, that harshly critiques Trump and his own party. “If this was our Faustian bargain, then it was not worth it,” he wrote in an excerpt published by Politico. “If ultimately our principles were so malleable as to no longer be…
Behold, a tale of two articles: one from the New York Times, another from Politico. According to these two completely contradictory reports, Trump’s supporters are standing steadfastly by his side and also somehow rapidly turning against him. They are furious, and also they are fine. They are lying passed out on an…
Tim Allen, a rather irrelevant actor, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, where he bemoaned the tribulations suffered by conservatives in Hollywood. “You gotta be real careful around here,” he told Kimmel. “You get beat up if you don’t believe what everybody else believes. This is like ‘30s Germany.”
During her 12-year tenure at Fox News, Megyn Kelly became a high-profile figure at an organization that quite effectively, if inaccurately, framed itself as the lone truth-teller in a biased and insidiously “liberal mainstream media” landscape, one that Kelly is about to join in a broad new position with NBC News.
President-Elect Donald Trump has appointed Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary and, reportedly, Ben Carson as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (Carson has not yet accepted), continuing to plow through his cabinet appointments with the grim determination and exactitude of a seven-year-old deciding which…
It seems years since the so-called Pussygate scandal, when a hot mic captured Donald Trump and then-Access Hollywood reporter Billy Bush giggling about sexual assault. Bush lost his job on NBC’s Today because of that tape, and we thought that Trump’s brag about grabbing women’s genitals might cost him the presidency.…
Tomi Lahren is a conservative zealot who’s stood up against issues like Beyoncé’s pro-black Super Bowl performance and once likened Black Lives Matter to the KKK. She’s often loud and unflinching and viral, which is why I would not be surprised to one day see her on The View.
Where do you go after spending 14 years rolling back Texas abortion access and executing the mentally ill? The dance floor, baby!
Eighties sitcom star and whinging conservative Scott Baio has kept up a pretty full schedule since his wife Renee Baio called Jezebel staffers “lesbian shitasses” back in 2010.
Rush Limbaugh, like an evil dad in a sports movie giving his antagonist son a stern sideline pep talk, has claimed that the media is bullying Ted Cruz because we’re jealous of his many excellent qualities, which he outlined as “IQ,” “intelligence,” “talent,” and “ability.” Yas gawd!
It’s very puzzling that after all this time tango-ing with insanity, Sarah Palin’s garbled thoughts and feelings still matter to literally anyone. But here we are!
Actress and formerly suspended Fox News contributor Stacey Dash has filed a police report against a man who is allegedly harassing her, according to TMZ.
Last week, while reporting a longer story, I had the distinct pleasure of joining hundreds of libertarian-leaning fundamentalists at the Great Homeschool Convention outside LA. In the interest of blending into the crowd, I wore the only floral thing in my closet and proudly carried the “GOD & COUNTRY” flag tote…
Very mean conservative radio host and wearer of prominently displayed cross necklaces Laura Ingraham announced today that she’s starting her very own lifestyle website for conservatives and independents. It’s going to be called LifeZette, which is a terrible name for a website. And I work at a website named after a…
