Bill Donohue Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel released a report in December on sexual abuse in the Diocese of Lansing. It is seriously flawed, though she received no pushback from the media; they accepted the report at face value.

Bill Donohue When Playboy reigned supreme—before the age of internet porn—it was regarded as the choice girly publication of the urbane set. It had essays, poems, book reviews, interviews with celebrities, music reviews, and the like. It was said that only 10 percent of the magazine featured pictures of naked gals.

Bill Donohue Unlike most sociologists, I am not a man of the Left. Moreover, I have little respect for most of what passes as sociology today.
