FOX News cable television set a new record this past quarter. The Tucker Carlson Show set the record for the largest cable news show audience during a single quarter in cable news history.

By Christian K. Anderson, The Conversation When I toured the South Carolina Governor’s Mansion in 2019, I noticed the multi-volume papers of John C. Calhoun on display. It struck me as remarkable that Calhoun’s ideas would be featured so prominently given his vigorous defense of slavery and his role in laying the groundwork for the Civil War. But the reality is Calhoun’s legacy until now has […]

New Haven, Connecticut has removed a statue of Christopher Columbus from a city park, retitled a school previously named after the Italian explorer, and erased Columbus Day from the calendar, to appease the ‘migrant community.’ The bronze statue dedicated to the famous explorer was dismantled on Wednesday, a week after the city’s Parks Department voted to do so. It had stood in Wooster Square Park since […]
Despite slipping off the news radar in recent weeks, the coronavirus has forced Saudi Arabian authorities to “cancel the annual Hajj pilgrimage for the first time in history.” That’s one story making headlines. It’s also untrue. The Hajj pilgrimage draws more than 2.5 million Muslims to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina every year, and is a journey every able-bodied Muslim is asked to make […]

In the wake of protests against deeply entrenched racism, statues of slave traders and Confederate leaders are being torn town and toppled both in the U.S. and abroad. The dismantling of Confederate statues in this particular moment are not spontaneous acts of destruction; they follow decades of debate and peaceful protest about the significance and messaging around the public display of symbols of the Confederacy. Some, […]
The US, as well as many major cities around the globe, are witnessing an ongoing wave of anti-racism and anti-police-brutality protests sparked by the killing of George Floyd and many other African-Americans at the hands of white police officers.

US conservatives have blasted former National Security Advisor Susan Rice for saying Trump’s allies must end up in the “trash heap of history.” Her tirade ignited a fresh online war of words between the right and the left.

Rice, who was a national security adviser during the administration of US President Barack Obama, sounded adamant despite that her son, John David Rice Cameron, voiced his support for incumbent President Donald Trump, even hosting a “Make Stanford Great Again” party on his university campus. Former Obama-era National Security Adviser Susan Rice said on Friday that Donald Trump’s supporters in the Senate should be consigned to […]

In November 2018 a faulty electricity pylon triggered a wildfire in the tinder-dry bush of northern California which raged out of control for 17 days, killing 85 people. So who was to blame and how is Pacific Gas & Electric still soldiering on after years of bungling and lawsuits? The CEO of Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), Bill Johnson, appeared in a courtroom in Butte […]

Amid demonstrations in the UK in solidarity with anti-police brutality and anti-racism protests sweeping America after the death of black man George Floyd in police custody, the statue of Winston Churchill and the Cenotaph in Parliament Square were boxed up to protect them from being vandalised further. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has vowed to resist any attempt to remove the statue of Winston Churchill from […]
As often happens with mass movements, the international campaign for racial equality has taken on an overly simplistic tone. It can be summarised as follows: we’ve learned enough from history, let’s disavow it now. From the United States to Australia, protesters have been toppling or defacing historical monuments they deem problematic. What started as a campaign against systemic racism has turned into a flashmob of sorts, […]
United Skates, a 2019 documentary film highlighting the history of black roller skating rinks, opens with a shot that is all-too-prescient for this summer of Black Lives Matter demonstrations: police sirens. As black families, many of them with children, wait to enter a roller skating rink, they are monitored by officers. Even at a recreational space long associated with nostalgia and good clean fun, the cops […]
The saying “Better late than never, I guess” has never felt so apt. After 18 years and 25 seasons, The Bachelor has finally announced the first black lead for its flagship series, Matt James. It’s a positive, if long overdue sign that the franchise is beginning to take its race problem seriously. But as longtime fans of the franchise well know, it’ll take more than one […]
Some of the arguments generated by the decision of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council to remove their Robert Baden-Powell statue highlight the hypocrisy and latent racism which pollutes much of England. I watched a middle-aged woman on Good Morning Britain proclaim that the statue should stay in place despite Baden-Powell’s well documented support for Hitler, fascism and virulent homophobia because her children ‘often climb onto the […]
On Wednesday afternoon, amid a global pandemic that’s killed more than 400,000 people, a civil rights movement for black lives hitting all 50 states (and beyond), and a billionaire author’s childhood-shattering campaign of hate, the rapper Ice Cube apparently decided it was the perfect time to unleash a torrent of tinfoil-hat conspiracies—including several anti-Semitic memes suggesting that Jews are fomenting the oppression of black people. Yes, […]
[Editor’s note: It was an undeclared war for far-flung rocky islands, but make no mistake, it was a war, young men fought bravely and died in the hundreds. However, both governments involved wanted to minimise the death toll and pretend, as far as possible, that war is not the brutal, ruthless, bloody state-sponsored murder than in reality, it has always been – terribly bad for public […]
The Vatican is currently in the midst of the biggest financial scandal in its history. Extortion, embezzlement, aggravated fraud and money laundering – these are the charges against Italian-English broker Gianluigi Torzi for buying and selling real estate in London, which are being challenged by a representative of the Vatican Court of Appeals. As the Vatican’s communique says, the provision signed by Justice Representative Gian Piero […]
