Two Daily Caller journalists, as well as other reporters, sustained injuries from police officers while covering protests in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and were detained for breaking curfew, despite identifying themselves as press. In video footage from the incident, Daily Caller Chief Video Director Richie McGinnis is filming an arrest being made by officers when he is asked to show his press badge, which he does. He is then told to leave the area, an order he complies with. “Don’t let me catch you!” an officer yells as the journalist is walking away. “I’m out,” McGinnis says, making his way to a car […]

Teen Quinn Simmons has been forced to insist that he is not racist and does not “hate” Donald Trump critics, with cycling team Trek-Segafredo pledging to help him “grow as a person” as part of a grovelling apology for a tweet. 2019 junior champion Simmons faced an immediate backlash after using a black hand emoji to wave at a Trump opponent in a tweet, bidding a virtual farewell to a journalist who had labeled the president “vile” and “horrible” while wishing defeat upon the Republicans in next month’s US presidential election. The presidential election is taking place against a backdrop of heightened awareness and […]
Joe Biden’s campaign is facing criticism for now focusing on in-person canvassing after spending months avoiding it and criticizing Donald Trump’s campaign for holding events during the Covid-19 pandemic. Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said Thursday that “we’re now expanding on our strategy in a targeted way that puts the safety of communities first and foremost and helps us mobilize voters who are harder to reach by phone now that we’re in the final stretch.” The strategy will focus on multiple swing states with several hundred volunteers canvassing in states like Nevada, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. She is one […]
Brad Parscale, who was demoted from his job as President Donald Trump’s campaign manager in July, was suddenly tackled and slammed to the pavement by Fort Lauderdale, Florida, police after his wife said he threatened suicide. Police body-cam footage released Monday shows Parscale, wearing only a baseball cap and a pair of knee-length shorts, sitting on his porch as officers arrive at his home on Sunday afternoon. Parscale began to walk slowly toward an officer at the end of his driveway, saying, “She’s lying, I’m your friend.” The officer said, “Alright, relax. What’s going on?” Parscale then set down a beverage […]
Conservatives have been up in arms over Twitter’s failure to remove a journalist’s call for teen shooter Kyle Rittenhouse to be murdered in prison, while at the same time wiping out tweets in his support. Journalist Dustin Nichols tweeted Saturday that Rittenhouse, who was charged with murder after shooting three people last month in Kenosha, should be stabbed to death in prison. The post elicited an avalanche of angry reaction from conservatives, while also prompting questions about Twitter censorship after the company declined to delete the tweet for 20 hours and counting. “The real hero will be the inmate that stabs […]
The tax, introduced in a bid to achieve the EU goal of limiting the annual consumption of plastic bags, has been previously slammed as “tokenism” and “virtue signalling”, resulting in no real accomplishment. Merely four months since Sweden’s new tax on plastic bags, touted as a step toward a greener world, came into force, it is now being judged by experts as a massive failure. The environmental impact has increased, tax revenues have not been achieved and there is now a shortage of bags. Since the tax was introduced, sales of taxed plastic bags have decreased by 70 percent at Ica, […]
UK Labour MP Dawn Butler has provoked a storm of criticism for publicly applauding Extinction Rebellion protesters who disrupted the distribution of newspapers, a move that has been roundly condemned as an attack on press freedom. More than 100 climate activists blockaded three printing presses owned by Rupert Murdoch, preventing workers from getting a plethora of the UK’s most popular titles to shops. The Labour politician exulted in the stunt, taking to Twitter to herald it as “excellent work.” “Bravo #ExtinctionRebellion,” she gushed, accompanying the message with clapping hands emojis. The post quickly provoked a flood of condemnation of the former […]

NHL on NBC announcer Mike Milbury has faced a backlash for his on-air words regarding the ongoing life in an NHL ‘bubble’ in which he noted that there weren’t women to ‘distract’ the ice hockey players from the playoff games. During the last night’s broadcast of the game between the Washington Capitals and the New York Islanders, Milbury was discussing life in the league’s temporary quarantine, or ‘bubble,’ amid the safety protocols put in place to safeguard the sport’s return.

Singer and influencer Zara Larsson, an avowed feminist, is no stranger to controversy and has been criticised before for misandrist posts, tweeting “ACAB” (All cops are bastards) in connection with the Black Lives Matter protests in the US, and maintaining a relationship with Chinese mobile giant Huawei. Award-winning pop singer Zara Larsson has landed in hot water over lending support to the embattled TikTok app. “Because D*nald Tr*mp hates TikTok, I love it even more”, Larsson wrote in a since-deleted tweet filled with heart emojis. This was a nod to Donald Trump’s recent announcement that TikTok will be banned in the […]
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex faced criticism last year after newspapers claimed they took four private jet journeys in 11 days, including to Sir Elton John’s home in Nice, weeks after Prince Harry insisted the couple would have two children “maximum” for environmental reasons and spoke on the importance of tackling climate change issues. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be generating a carbon footprint 26 times that of the average British citizen, writes The Sun. A study by a Lib Dem politician, former MP Norman Baker, claims the ex-royal “eco-warriors” generate around 215 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually from […]

Blackface, the use of black make-up to depict a black person, is widely considered an offensive practice with a racist history in the United States. Instagram personalities in several countries have darkened their skin to show support for anti-racism George Floyd protests – only to get accused of being racists themselves.

A Polish artist going by the handle Saint Hoax has compiled screenshots of blackface images that have been slammed as a tone-deaf gesture, given the […]
US 14:15 GMT 28.05.2020Get short URL Biden’s campaign staff reportedly insisted that the senator was referring to the so called “Delaware Day” which marks the date when the state ratified the Federal Constitution. US Democratic senator and presidential hopeful Joe Biden has ended up getting quite a bit of criticism online after he seemed to have mixed up two prominent dates related to World War II, during a recent livestream with Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf.

UFC official Jason Herzog has said suggested he has learned a “harsh” lesson as he appeared to apologize after being widely criticized for not stopping the light heavyweight fight between Anthony Smith and Glover Teixeira sooner. Veteran referee Herzog eventually called things off just over a minute into fifth round of the main event in Jacksonville on Wednesday, although many felt the stoppage should have come sooner as Smith shipped heavy punishment for more than two rounds. Herzog came in for heavy criticism on social media afterwards, while Smith’s corner were also slated for allowing their man back into the fight […]
One morning two weeks ago, Megan Hunt woke up fearing the worst. The novel coronavirus pandemic was surging in Nebraska, and the 34-year-old midtown Omaha resident was winded, short of breath, sore, and had digestive issues, she told The Daily Beast. She continued to self-isolate, let her 10-year-old daughter help with the cooking, and tried to get a COVID-19 test from her state’s brand new, seemingly high-tech mass testing initiative: TestNebraska.com. But when she completed the online survey of symptoms, the site told her she didn’t qualify. “I have spoken to many people who have had the same experience,” said Hunt. […]
