President Trump was upset when he couldn’t find one of his favorite Fox hosts, Jeanine Pirro, on Fox News Saturday night, so he took to Twitter Sunday morning to vent about it. “Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro,” he tweeted at the start of three-tweet mini-storm about trouble at Fox, his favorite...
Advertiser boycotts played a role in taking down hosts Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck on Fox News in years past. Here’s hoping for the same fate for Tucker Carlson today as the prime-time host finds himself back in the news this week over ugly, crude, debased, misogynistic, homophobic and racist...
“State of … “ speeches are supposed to leave listeners feeling energized, animated and ready to go out to do whatever it takes to achieve a better future for their city, state or nation. Mayor Catherine Pugh’s State of the City Address Monday left me feeling flat, lifeless and wondering what she...
HBO’s four-part documentary series “The Case Against Adnan Syed” should perhaps be titled “The Case For Adnan Syed,” the man convicted of killing his 18-year-old ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, in Baltimore County in 1999 in a case made famous by the “Serial” podcast.

Well, right off the bat (sports pun only kind of intended) I can tell you what I don't like about this “Dancing With the Stars” season: They're doing an elimination tonight based on votes received during the show. So many things wrong with that. First, couples dancing later in the show are receiving...
Bring yourselves back online, my friends. I’m taking a busman’s holiday of sorts from recapping “This Is Us” to recap the, er, challenging “Westworld.” Y’all want to hear something hilarious? I thought the different time periods in “This Is Us” were difficult to manage. HAHAHAHAHA hoo boy, I crack...
Each week William Lee and Nina Metz recap and discuss the second season of “Westworld,” which airs Sundays on HBO. Note: Spoilers ahead We pick up in the aftermath of Season 1, as the park’s robots continue to exact bloody revenge on their human tormentors. 1. The hosts have taken control Will...
