As if the story around Gillette and their advertising campaign debacle couldn’t get any worse, a YouTuber has found evidence they edited their now famous commercial in a way that is very suspect and probably needs a little explaining from Gillette. YouTuber High Impact Flix found an earlier version of the commercial which appears to show a scene with a misogynistic rapper dancing with two strippers. Below is the clip from a CBS affiliate station…

It appears as though this past week may go down in fake news history. We started off the past week with the now refuted Buzzfeed story that claimed President Trump forced his former lawyer Michael Cohen to lie about specific incidents pertaining to Robert  Mueller’s witch hunt Russia collusion investigation. However, this time the news was so fake that Mueller himself had to put out a statement through his office saying that the report was…

As you very well know by now, the Clemson Tigers college football team was invited to the White House for a dinner after winning the National Championship. But of course, with the government shutdown there were no chefs on duty. So Trump decided to order a huge amount of fast food in order to save the event. Of course, the media was quick to jump on what they believed was a chance to embarrass Trump….

As I’m sure you have all heard by now, men’s razor brand Gillette put out a short film shaming men of all types for bad behavior that has in their words “gone on way too long”. Now I won’t go into the specifics of what is wrong with the video itself and how it portrays most men as bad. That’s not the point of this article. Instead I want to focus on what the video…

Looks like it didn’t take long for the well known Trump curse to catch up to Rapper T.I. If you remember, T.I. recently released a video showing a Melania Trump look-a-like stripping down to the nude and then performing a lap dance for him. Many called the video tasteless and disgusting. T.I. also has long history of posting rants against Trump and his presidency on social media. Well, the Trump curse has once again struck…

Although it’s common knowledge that CNN has abandoned all journalistic and even ethical standards by this point, they continue to reach new lows. Increasingly, CNN is using a title for an opinion piece as their main, bold print headline at the top of their news site and app. So their main headline is often not news at all, simply an opinion they disguise as news by adding the small tag “analysis” well below the actual…

Breaking news: Kanye now hates Donald Trump! Well, at least that was the headline the mainstream media went with today, and even some conservative leaning outlets. But the truth of course is much different. It started with a Tweet from West where he stated he was done with politics and had been “used”. This was enough for the media to decide he must be talking about Trump. The website TMZ reported that Kayne contacted them…

With the abuse of benzodiazepine drugs such as Xanax now starting to surpass the opioid epidemic of the last decade, it got me thinking about how much prescription drug abuse is promoted in rap and hip-hop music, specifically by the rapper named Lil Xan. But more importantly, why the trademark holders of those drugs aren’t suing for infringement when it is customary for corporate America to sue for much more minor infringements of their logos…

Today, a suspect was named in the rash of attempted mail bombings over the last few days. The suspect’s name is Cesar Sayoc, a resident of Florida and a man with a criminal history. Now, before I begin I want to stress that it is completely possible this crazed man acted on his own and there is really no other story to tell here. But sadly, we live in a time where the reputation of…

With the recent rash of attempted mail bombings, a few glaring questions need to be asked based on the timing and evidence surrounding the bombs themselves and how they were reported by the mainstream media. So let’s take a look at the most glaring questions I have so far. Mail bombs with timers makes no sense. – Mail bombs only work if the bomb explodes when you open it. A timer-based detonation makes no sense…
