Lucianne Goldberg, a literary agent who advised her friend Linda Tripp to secretly tape conversations with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, has died at age 87 at her home. No cause of death was given by her son, political commentator and author Jonah Goldberg.
Lucianne Goldberg was a conservative activist whose agency specialized in right-wing books. Tripp took her advice and taped Lewinsky talking about her sexual trysts with President Bill Clinton. Tripp’s 20 hours of conversation were used by special prosecutor Kenneth Starr’s investigation, which ultimately saw Clinton impeached by the House of Representatives and acquitted in a Senate trial.
Goldberg met Tripp while working on a proposal for a book on the death of Vince Foster, a Clinton aide whose apparent death by suicide raised many questions. Goldberg encouraged Tripp to break Lewinsky’s trust and give the tapes to Starr. Goldberg later said she was glad Clinton had been caught “at something.

Jonah Goldberg, the conservative columnist and editor in chief of The Dispatch, is joining CNN as a contributor.
Goldberg and Stephen Hayes, the CEO of The Dispatch, resigned from Fox News in November, specifically citing Tucker Carlson’s three-part documentary Patriot Purge as “incoherent conspiracy mongering” and concluding that “the voices of the responsible are being drowned out by the irresponsible.”
Last month, Hayes also landed a new gig as contributor and political analyst on NBC News.
Goldberg’s role as a contributor was announced at a CNN staff call on Monday. He is the founding editor of National Review Online, and is the author of Suicide of the West, The Tyranny of Cliches: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas and Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left.

Jonah Goldberg, one of the two conservative political analysts who resigned from Fox News Channel in colorful fashion over the direction of its coverage, is joining CNN as a contributor, the WarnerMedia network confirmed Monday.
Goldberg, a longtime editor at National Review and a founder of The Dispatch, will appear on CNN programs as news networks gear up for the 2022 midterm elections. He and another popular conservative commentator, Stephen Hayes, took to the “Media Equation” column of The New York Times in November to say they were cutting ties with Fox News Channel, where they had been contributors since 2009. The duo expressed concern about the direction of the Fox Corp.-owned network in the aftermath of the 2020 election. “Fox News still does real reporting, and there are still responsible conservatives providing valuable opinion and analysis. But the voices of the responsible are being drowned out by the irresponsible,” they said...

The year 2021 was one of tumult in the news biz: Chris Cuomo fired, Brian Williams’ surprise exit, Chris Wallace bolting for a rival. And that is not even getting to the daily headlines about Tucker Carlson’s vaccine doubts and distortions, the “great replacement” theory or January 6th false flags.
The past 12 months also have been one of tune out, as all of the networks saw a significant drop in viewers.
A lot of this was to be expected, as the news cycle moved on from the four-alarm fires of the Trump administration and the momentous nature of a presidential election year. Coupled with the onset of Covid-19 shutdowns, the year 2020 was a ratings bonanza for the news business, so it’s natural that there would be a bit of a come down.

There appears to be quite a bit of tension inside Fox News over the extremist views of the network’s most popular host. Host Bret Baier publicly admitted on Monday that there were internal “concerns” at the network about the Tucker Carlson-produced documentary, Patriot Purge. The controversial documentary suggested Jan. 6 was a “false flag” operation and aired on the network’s streaming platform.

Fox News anchor Bret Baier was questioned by another network personality, Brian Kilmeade, about the exit of two Fox News contributors following the debut of the Fox Nation series Patriot Purge from Tucker Carlson.
Kilmeade, on his radio, show, asked Baier whether he was “bothered” by the Carlson series.
“Brian, I won’t go down this road. There were concerns about it, definitely, and I think the news division did what we do,” he said. “We covered the story, and I wanted to do that all internally. Steve and Jonah made their decision, and it is their decision.”
Baier was referring to Stephen Hayes and Jonah Goldberg, conservative commentators who have been with the network since 2009. They announced on Sunday that they were resigning, in part in protest over the documentary, calling it “a collection of incoherent conspiracy-mongering, riddled with factual inaccuracies, half-truths, deceptive imagery, and damning omissions.”

Bad guy reduced to a shell of a man, ranting and raving at the ghosts in his head in a Grey Gardens mansion? Not quite as satisfying, especially when that villain is The Man In Black, Aka William (Ed Harris), president of Delos and terror of Westworld and all its hosts. An entire season of William luxuriating in chaos and violence in an attempt to get to the heart of the maze, only to be trapped in a maze of hallucinations and grief, tormented by Grace (Katja Herbers) and constant reminders of his own failures as a husband, father, and friend.

Stephen Colbert apologized on Wednesday to National Review writer Jonah Goldberg after saying the conservative was a Trump ally. Goldberg — as followers of his work and his prolific Twitter account will know — is one of the web’s most vocal anti-Trump conservative’s working today.
“I just want to issue a rare correction. On last night’s show, I described this guy right here, conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg, as one of Trump’s allies,” said Colbert on his late-night show.
“He is not actually a Trump ally. He is, in fact, a very staunch Never Trumper. He’s been very public about it, and we here at ‘The Late Show’ regret many things and I wanted to extend portion of that regret to Jonah Goldberg and Jonah Goldberg’s family.”

Donald Trump is no stranger to outlandish comparisons, but MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt came in for some mockery online after suggesting that the billionaire president’s hostility to the media was the most extreme since England’s King George III.
“The last person to rule America who didn’t believe in the First Amendment was King George III,” said Hunt, who frequently reports for the channel and hosts the Sunday evening program “Kasie DC.”

It’s soul-searching time for the Washington, DC press corps and national political media. After a White House Correspondents Awards dinner that some felt veered too close to becoming an East Coast Oscars instead of a scholarship banquet, a panel of journalists confronted some hard questions on today’s Face The Nation on CBS.
Host Margaret Brennan was joined by David Nakamura, White House beat writer for the Washington Post; Susan Page, the Washington bureau chief at USA Today; Jamelle Bouie, the chief political correspondent at Slate and a CBS News political analyst; and Jonah Goldberg, a senior editor at the National Review and the author of Suicide of the West: How the Rebirth of Nationalism, Populism and Identity Politics is Destroying American Democracy.
While some of the journalists at the table fumbled with the concept that comedian Michelle Wolf wasn’t funny and substituted rhetoric for humor, others were blunt.

Charlie Rose faced internet wrath after the New York Post reported Wednesday evening that someone was shopping a #MeToo redemption series which would star the disgraced CBS anchor.
Per the Post, the plan would call for Rose to interview various men who have seen their careers toppled in the sexual harassment reckoning that has whipped around media, Hollywood and politics. The Page Six report said some of the possible interview subjects included Louis C.K and Matt Lauer.
Writing for the Post, Ian Mohr said that Vanity Fair and Daily Beast alum Tina Brown had been approached to produce the potential series but had turned it down.

The White House and Affordable Care Act supporters are arming like-minded Americans with a set of pro-Obamacare talking points ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday in the hopes they may convince their family members to abandon their skepticism. On Tuesday, National Review editor at large Jonah Goldberg insisted that this strategy could “backfire” because so many, he says, will resent having to endure an Aca pitch session from their family members over the holiday table.

Bill Clinton may have signed Doma when he was president, but he's adamant that it needs to be overturned. He admits it was a different time, but also that signing it wasn't something he wanted to do, but felt necessary to head off a constitutional amendment against marriage equality. "When I signed the bill, I included a statement with the admonition that 'enactment of this legislation should not, despite the fierce and at times divisive rhetoric surrounding it, be understood to provide an excuse for discrimination.' Reading those words today, I know now that, even worse than providing an excuse for discrimination, the law is itself discriminatory. It should be overturned."

I've been watching the right try to claim that Downton Abbey is a conservative show.

I've been watching the right try to claim that Downton Abbey is a conservative show.

Jonah Goldberg doesn't have many good things to say about Chief Justice John Roberts's majority opinion in last week's health care Supreme Court decision. On Fox News today, Goldberg called it unconvincing and wondered whether the Chief Justice "reverse engineered" his logic, but he did have something good to say about some of the political ramifications of the decision. "I am delighted by the silver linings of this decision," he told Gregg Jarrett today, explaining that it puts the White House in an "uncomfortable" position.

The story of a Super Pac planning on resuscitating Rev. Jeremiah Wright as a campaign issue has raised questions on both sides of the aisle-- from the ethics of doing so to why the mainstream media avoided the topic. On Fox & Friends this morning, Jonah Goldberg noted that he found in the mainstream media a "deep, nagging insecurity" about the way they handled the 2008 campaign, one that has made them somewhat hesitant to bring up issues from 2008 that could politically help the President.

Author and National Review contributor Jonah Goldberg appeared on Fox News Channel on Friday to discuss the findings in a recent Fox News poll that showed young voters still supporting President Barack Obama. Goldberg was asked, simply, if young voters would support Mitt Romney – he responded bluntly, “no.” While Goldberg is probably correct, there is at least some evidence that some young voters are contemplating abandoning the President ahead of a close election in November.

National Review Online editor at large Jonah Goldberg isn’t exactly a household name. Still, Piers Morgan has taken the unusual step of announcing he'll go toe-to-toe with the writer on Tuesday -- just eight days after engaging him in a 14-minute interview -- following a Twitter battle between the host and the author. A CNN spokeswoman didn’t say exactly why Morgan is allotting Goldberg more time to promote his book, The Tyranny of Cliches: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas, but a torrent of criticism from conservative bloggers and complaints from Goldberg himself may have led Morgan to

The National Review's Jonah Goldberg, author of A Tyranny of Clichés: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas, appeared on Fox & Friends early Friday morning to discuss some common phrases -- or clichés -- used by the left. First on the list was the concept that "diversity is strength." Goldberg joked that "I mean, look, sometimes diversity is strength: A diversified portfolio is really good."...

Goldberg said that he felt the debate that has erupted around this date and an ad put out by President Obama's reelection campaign that questions whether Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney would have done the same “makes [Obama] look crass.”...

The news of Andrew Breitbart's death reverberated throughout the social-media stratosphere on Wednesday, as media pundits and friends of the political rabblerouser mourned his loss. "Sorry for losing it talking about Andrew. Too much death this year. This just hit me like a ton of bricks. Prayers for his family," wrote National Review columnist Jonah Goldberg of the conservative blogger, author and Tea Party advocate. Breitbart died of natural causes on Wednesday night at the age of 43. According to The Associated Press, he collapsed outside his Brentwood, Calif., home; parademics could not revive him and he was

In MTV’s new dark thriller Teen Wolf, a teen boy’s life is irrevocably changed after being bitten by a werewolf. While he struggles to adjust to his new physical changes, the world around him shifts as well. He discovers he is not alone and meets a mentor of sorts who helps guide him through the transformations and navigating an increasingly tricky social scene at school. Then, as if that were not enough, he finds out that he is not necessarily the predator in this story; that he may be the prey as well when it is revealed that a team of hunters have moved into town and are tightening their net.
Thus, the cursed and conflicted Scott McCall (Tyler Posey), his mysterious mentor Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin) and the new girl in town Allison Argent (Crystal Reed) are all caught up in the thorny tale of star-crossed romance...

In a nearly eight-minute video, Sarah Palin says "journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite" hatred. Howard Kurtz on her un-presidential move and why "blood libel" offends Jewish people.
The talk in political circles has been that Sarah Palin had a rare opportunity in the wake of the Tucson tragedy to reach out beyond her base and recalibrate her image beyond that of a gun-toting mama grizzly.

After all, the strategists said, there was some sympathy for her-beyond the Palin-haters-for being tied to the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, even if she had erred with her "reload" talk and by posting that map with the gun-sight targets last year.
Instead, Palin chose to throw kerosene on the embers of a smoldering national controversy.

As some media reports pinned the Gabrielle Giffords shooting on right-wing rhetoric, conservatives went on the defense. Howard Kurtz on the politics behind the coverage-and the media's worst mistake.
It was as inevitable as a chemical reaction: Once the tragedy in Tucson became politicized, the right would quickly come to feel aggrieved.

Not everyone on the liberal side has tried to tie the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords and 19 others to the violent imagery used by Sarah Palin and other Republicans; many have been admirably restrained.
But conservatives aren't happy about the emerging narrative, and on Sunday, they started punching back.
Keith Appell, a top publicist for conservative causes, declared in an email that "some in the media have implicated conservatives, the Tea Party, talk radio, Republicans, etc." in the shooting that left six people dead and a congresswoman seriously wounded.

Well, At Least I Won't Get Called Poncy Again. I Hope....
As you read this week's column, I'll already be attending the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour down in Pasadena, California. And before I've attended a single panel, I can already pretty much guarantee this is going to be one of the weaker (gay) tours in memory. For starters, CBS hasn't given us a single screener for their two new shows (which sound utterly conventional and appear to be gay free. Shock!) and even ABC which is reliably gay-friendly, doesn't have anything that looks terribly promising.
Honestly, Starz looks to be the best bet between Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and Torchwood, but since for some reason, Russell T Davies won't be available for me to interview during the TCA, even that won't take up quite as much as my time. Fortunately, Spartacus creator Steven S. DeKnight is available...

Today was "Good Riddance Day" in Times Square, and cast members Andrew Call (L) and Omar Lopez-Cepero of Green Day's Broadway musical American Idiot prepare to discard a worthless relic.
Last week we mentioned that gay character Marcus would be returning to the UK soap Coronation Street, and now comes word that he and former boyfriend Sean will tie the knot this spring in the show's first civil partnership ceremony. I'm sorry for the hurt and pain that this Forbes writer went through when her fiance of 10 years told her he was gay, but I admit I had to suppress a chortle when I read this line: "This wasn’t a guy that was giving off signals. He wasn’t out ‘til 3 a.m. There weren’t any strange phone calls. I didn’t smell Axe body spray on him when he came home from work." Below you can...

The governor-turned-reality-tv-star's new book dives into feminist history-distorting and misunderstanding it every step of the way.
In some ways, it's a good thing that Sarah Palin calls herself a feminist. It means that, even among conservatives, women's equality has become a normative position, the starting point for debate. It means that feminism has gone from something that the right wants to destroy to something it wants to appropriate. That's progress, of a sort.

But reading Palin's new book, America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag, it's clear that in order to claim feminism as her own, she's had to radically distort its history. In a chapter on feminism that's sure to be widely discussed, she mischaracterizes the views of nearly every historical feminist she mentions.

The controversy of NPR's firing of Juan Williams has morphed into something much bigger. It's become a central issue in the upcoming election, but the division is not entirely along party lines. It is mostly a conservative talking point -- because many on the right believe that NPR is a liberal media establishment -- but there are legitimate issues about whether the government should be funding the news. Here's a statement I pulled from a conservative, Jonah Goldberg:
NPR should be defunded, but not because it's liberal. If NPR were right-wing, it would still be wrong for the federal government to be in the news business or to subsidize one set of views over another. The same goes for PBS (and implicitly "Sesame Street"). I have no huge problem with funding documentaries about bears and mummies, but state-run television news is an embarrassment in the age of C-span and YouTube.

This is the sort of programming that could really get people to tune into Cspan! During a BookTV discussion of Jonah Goldberg's latest book Proud to Be Right two of the panelists who had contributed essays to the tome got into an interesting back and forth. Todd Seavey and Helen Rittelmeyer used to date, and judging by Seavey's comments, he's still fairly bitter about the break-up. The Daily Caller described it as "the wonkiest, nerdiest Internet revenge ever."...

Sarah Palin continues to hold this week's news cycle hostage, giving what sounded suspiciously like a campaign speech to a crowd at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans. Dressed in her signature red blazer, Palin evoked the "people's movement" in a speech that was a minefield of Bushisms, Bill Clinton impersonations, a shoutout to Jonah Goldberg, and her most biting attacks on Barack Obama yet.

James Cameron responded on Tuesday night to critics who think his blockbuster hit "Avatar" was somehow un-American. "I've heard people say this film is un-American, while part of being an American is having the freedom to have dissenting ideas," Cameron told the crowd at a private industry screening. Conservative commentators such as Jonah Goldberg wondered why the space aliens didn't "accepted Jesus Christ into their hearts" and said it was a tired attack on the Iraq War. John Podhoretz said the movie was both "anti-American" and "anti-human." John Nolte, a critic at the conservative Big Hollywood, called it "America-hating." But Cameron was not shy about the movie's political message, telling TheWrap that he wanted "Avatar" to say something about both foreign policy and the environment. "This movie reflects that we are living through war," the director said. "There are boots on the...
