Trump Deflecting Detractors

“The GOP always betrays conservatives, and that’s why we need Trump,” says political pundit Joe Dan Gorman. But although Donald Trump is more to the center than the conservative faction of the party, he also has a GOP bullseye on his back. “Donald Trump is the antithesis of political correctness, and that’s why he’s our selected middle finger,” Gorman says. Learn more about Gorman’s support for the anti-establishment Trump, who has taken the GOP and the nation by storm, in this edition of Intellectual Froglegs.

The Revolution is Near

Joe Dan Gorman lambastes our free-spending administration and  spiraling national debt, and the abject silence of our lamestream media in this version of Intellectual Froglegs titled “The Revolultion Will Not Be Televised.”  Gorman urges us to look at the numbers. “Since 2007, since these Democrat free spenders took control of our finances, they’ve doubled our debt, they don’t have a budget and now what they’re saying is, ‘We don’t need a budget. We just need you to raise the limit on our credit  cards. And the broadcast news media–the Obama media–they parrot whatever this Marxist community organizer says.” Hear Joe Dan’s take on the entire mess, plus some other golden nuggets.

Public Distrusts Journalists

A new Q poll shows journalists are less popular than Congressmen. “No surprise there,” says Jodi Miller. “These days members of Congress aren’t nearly as partisan as journalists.” She also touches on Raul Castro transferring power in Cuba and Keith Olbermann’s return to ESPN in this edition of NewsBusted.

Turkish Journalists Silenced

According to the Turkish Journalists Union, at least 22 journalists have reportedly been fired and another 37 forced to quit over their coverage of the recent anti-government protests. They started in late May with a small group of environmentalists staging a protest against a proposed commercial development in Istanbul’s Gezi Park, and grew into nationwide demonstrations in which thousands expressed anti-government sentiments. The protests in Istanbul were met with tear gas and water cannons. The news comes as an Istanbul court unanimously overturned a lower court’s stay of order ruling on the planned shopping mall development, allowing the demolition of the green space to resume.

Newspaper Censorship

In May 2013, John Rosemond—America’s longest running newspaper columnist—received an astonishing order from the Kentucky attorney general: Stop publishing your advice column in the Bluegrass State or face fines and jail. The attorney general and Kentucky’s psychologist licensing board believe that John’s column, which is syndicated in more than 200 papers nationwide, constitutes the “unlicensed practice of psychology” in Kentucky when it appears in a Kentucky newspaper. Kentucky’s crackdown is part of a national surge in the abuse of occupational licensing laws to censor advice.

Satanic Obamacare Delays

The Obama Administration has delayed imposing the employer mandates in Obamacare until after the mid-term 2014 election. The move “could be described, if Obama were a Republican, as killing millions of poor people,” says Jodi Miller. In this edition of NewsBusted, she also addresses the sundry and satanic implications of Morsi’s ouster in Egypt, football star Aaron Hernandez’s arrest on murder charges and Wendy Davis’ abortion filibuster in Texas.

State of the “Newsroom”

The second season of HBO’s The Newsroom premieres on Sunday, and if it’s anything like the first season, the scathing commentary on the state of journalism today will be unrelenting and painful. Reason.TV’s Tracy Oppenheimer recounts five reasons why The Newsroom is an insult to journalism.
