Glenn Beck University Is Now Enrolling

No campus, just online lectures

(Newser) - Three words sure to strike fear, or maybe just ridicule, in the hearts of his enemies: Glenn Beck University.

'Jezebel Thinks I'm a Sexist Prick': Stewart

But sexism claims take backseat to Kevin Bacon

(Newser) - Jon Stewart went on a rant last night ostensibly related to Fox News’ insistence that we should never blame George W. Bush for anything, but it took a few turns along the way. He even threw in a line acknowledging Jezebel’s recent take-down of his show: “Jezebel...

Just not the 'mobster' strip club owners

Fox Anchor: My Job 'Same as Being Prez'

Gretchen Carlson has an inflated view of news anchors

'It's all coded, all implied'

Fox News' Jane Skinner not too impressed with case

(Newser) - Ginger McGuire's lawsuit is weird—she's suing United Airlines for failing to wake her up and leaving her inside a plane after landing—but her follow-up interview with Fox News is possibly even weirder.

Co-founder axes images, complaints erupt

Obama: 'At Some Point, You've Made Enough Money'

Fox: President's 'outed himself' as a socialist

Most can't exactly explain
