WashPost's Post-Hebdo Cartoonist Roundup Whacks 'Islamophobia' More Than ISIS
By Tim Graham | January 8, 2016 | 11:44 AM EST

On the front of Friday’s Style section of The Washington Post, writer Michael Cavna asked editorial cartoonists to “mull what’s changed” since the terrorist shootings at Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris a year ago. What resulted was more outrage against “Islamophobia” than radical Islam.

Somehow, while Cavna and his interview subjects discussed how ISIS must be separated from the everyday Muslim, they did not discuss comparing Republican candidates to ISIS, like this recent “Jihadi Don” outrage from Steve Benson at the Arizona Republic:

Scarborough: MSM Won't Mention Bill Clinton/Jeffrey Epstein Connection—But Trump Will
By Mark Finkelstein | January 8, 2016 | 9:33 AM EST

Joe Scarborough blew the whistle on the MSM this morning regarding its unwillingess to say publicly what people in major newsrooms have incessantly discussed--Bill Clinton's mistresses and the lurid tales involving Jeffrey Epstein, he of Orgy Island infamy, and Clinton.

But if the MSM won't "go there," on today's Morning Joe Scarborough said that Donald Trump indubitably will: "That's what makes Donald Trump more dangerous than any person out there. He will bring up stuff that nobody else will bring up and anybody thinking in the Clinton campaign that they're going to get a break because it's Donald Trump doing this instead of Jeb Bush, you are in la la land."

MSNBC Spikes Video of Bill Clinton Being Asked About Juanita Broaddrick
By Tim Graham | January 8, 2016 | 7:01 AM EST

Conservative journalists simply won’t play by the liberal media’s bizarre rules about being vague on Bill Clinton’s sexual misconduct – especially when asking him a question. On Thursday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Daily Caller’s Kerry Picket asked the former president directly several times how he felt about “Juanita Broaddrick’s reemergence.” He refused to utter a word.

NBC’s Kristen Welker asked in a much vaguer way if his “past” would hurt Mrs. Clinton. David Rutz at the Washington Free Beacon reported while MSNBC aired Picket’s questions live in mid-afternoon, MSNBC played by Clinton rules and sliced Picket out in re-airings:

Surprise: Cooper Hits Back at Obama for Suggesting Opponents on Guns Are Conspiracy Theorists
By Curtis Houck | January 7, 2016 | 9:42 PM EST

In the latter portion of Thursday night’s CNN “town hall” with President Barack Obama on gun control, host Anderson Cooper surprisingly pushed back at the President’s slam on opponents of his executive actions and policies on guns as conspiracy theorists.

Amanda Marcotte: Right’s Reaction to Obama’s Tears What You’d Expect From Masters of ‘Fake Emotion’
By Tom Johnson | January 7, 2016 | 9:20 PM EST

President Obama’s teary presentation on guns was a teachable moment, contended Salon blogger Marcotte in a Wednesday post, but conservatives, busy directing figurative spitballs at the POTUS, missed the lesson.

Liberal Historian Doug Brinkley: Obama Gun Control Push a 'Yes We Can' Moment
By Ken Shepherd | January 7, 2016 | 8:56 PM EST

Moments before the start of Thursday evenings CNN town hall forum on guns, liberal presidential historian Douglas Brinkley forecast that President Obama would take the proverbial stage seeking to be a "minister" to grieving families who lost loved ones to "gun violence." For the term-limited president, it is a "yes, we can moment" as he winds down his president, Brinkley offered.

CNN Sets the Table for Obama’s Gun Control Townhall by Hailing ‘Historic’ Event
By Curtis Houck | January 7, 2016 | 8:48 PM EST

In the days leading up to President Obama’s Guns In America townhall on CNN Thursday night, the network bent over backwards to hail the President’s side on gun control and belittle those in favor of the Second Amendment. The hour leading into the event at George Mason University was no different as Erin Burnett OutFront and fill-in host Kate Bolduan hailed the upcoming event as “historic event” that could fundamentally change the trajectory of the President’s legacy.

MSNBC's Alter Stretches to Link 'Dark & Dangerous' Cruz to Anti-Obama Birtherism
By Brad Wilmouth | January 7, 2016 | 7:48 PM EST

Appearing as a guest on Wednesday's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell, MSNBC political analyst Jonathan Alter -- also of the Daily Beast -- tried to link GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz to the anti-Obama birther movement to make the Texas Senator appear hypocritical in brushing off Donald Trump's questions about Cruz's qualifications to serve as President.

Alter, who has a history of demonizing Cruz as a "dark and dangerous figure," suggested that Cruz's famous "jump the shark" tweet signaled approval of Trump when birtherism was aimed at President Barack Obama but not when aimed at Cruz himself.

Killer Mike: U.S. Controlling Poor and Minorities by Isolating Them
By Randy Hall | January 7, 2016 | 6:46 PM EST

While a guest on The Late Show on CBS Wednesday evening, Killer Mike -- a hip hop artist and social activist -- told liberal host Stephen Colbert that the American government in several levels is successful at isolating poor people and minorities by putting them "in communities that can be controlled.”

“If white people are just now discovering that it's bad for black or working-class people in America, they're a lot more blind than I thought,” the rapper whose real name is Michael Render stated, “and they're a lot more choosing to be ignorant than I thought.”

Matthews: Trump, Other GOPers Figuratively Bash Clinton's Head Into Pavement By Bringing Up His Past
By Ken Shepherd | January 7, 2016 | 5:49 PM EST

Ever the cinemaphile, Chris Matthews last night reached for a movie reference to describe what he considered Donald Trump's relentless and savage attack on Bill Clinton, dredging up the former president's infidelities and general sleaziness. It's like, the Hardball host groused, a scene in Good Will Hunting where the title character bashes another characters head into the pavement in a fight scene.

CNN's Lemon, Left-Wing Radical Gang Up on Conservative Guest Over Guns
By Matthew Balan | January 7, 2016 | 3:59 PM EST

Don Lemon acted less as an anchor and more like a liberal activist during two segments on Wednesday's CNN Tonight — tag-teaming with Igor Volsky of Think Progress to repeatedly interrupt and shout down conservative radio host Ben Ferguson over his support for gun rights. This was an escalation from the previous evening, where he merely granted Volsky the heckler's veto. Lemon dismissed Ferguson's concern over President Obama's executive orders: "Does anybody in their right mind out there in America actually believe that the President is going to take away guns in America? It's never, ever, ever going to happen."

ABC, NBC Censor 1,000 Migrants Sexually Assaulting Women in Germany
By Katie Yoder | January 7, 2016 | 3:55 PM EST

It’s called a double-standard. While media have happily hyped the political “War on Women,” two networks won’t say a word about the shocking story of women assaulted by migrants.

During their broadcast morning and evening news shows, both ABC and NBC turned a blind-eye to a New Year’s Eve story of 1,000 migrant men who allegedly gathered outside Cologne’s main train station to sexually assault, rob and even rape female passers-by. 

Maybe Obama SHOULD Take Our Guns, Daily Beast Contributor Trolls
By Ken Shepherd | January 7, 2016 | 3:45 PM EST

Whining that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution "has been contorted, misinterpreted, and applied in a way that destroys its intended meaning and threatens the safety and stability of our nation," self-described "race-and-culture journalist" Barrett Holmes Pitner set out to explain today at the Daily Beast's website that no, "President Obama Isn’t Taking People’s Guns—But Maybe He Should."
