By Geoffrey Dickens | January 5, 2016 | 12:29 PM EST

Barack Obama’s announcement of new gun regulations today has already been met with cheers by the anti-gun rights activists in the liberal media. This comes after years the liberal media lobbying the Obama administration for new onerous restrictions on guns. And just in the past year reporters, anchors, hosts and newspaper editors exploited terror attacks in France and San Bernardino California and random shootings in Oregon and Virginia to immediately call for curbs on Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

Alter Compares Obama’s Executive Actions on Gun Control to the Emancipation Proclamation
By Curtis Houck | January 5, 2016 | 2:16 AM EST

On the Monday night edition of MSNBC’s All In, longtime liberal columnist Jonathan Alter reacted to President Obama’s executive actions on gun control by remarking how heartbreaking it was for Obama to have met with the families of Sandy Hook victims and “see those six-year-olds stacked up like cord wood.” Then: "After that, he was going to do everything in his power and if people don't like it, his attitude is see you in court and that is — you know, that's one way for a President to act. The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order. Right?"

After that, he was going to do everything in his power and if people don't like it, his attitude is see you in court and that is — you know, that's one way for a President to act.

Moments after the White House revealed to reporters on Monday details of President Obama’s executive orders on gun control, the network evening newscasts could barely contain their approval for the President “picking a major fight with Republicans” as his “new gun checks” seek “to restrict gun sales.” CBS anchor Scott Pelley: "The President, frustrated by mass murders that seem to come every month, has decided in his last year to test the limits of his power."

By Brent Baker | January 4, 2016 | 7:34 PM EST

New on January 4, 2016: At the Democratic debate on December 19, Hillary Clinton declared ISIS was currently using Donald Trump’s words to recruit adherents, yet on Saturday’s Good Morning America, following the release of a new video from al-Shabaab, featuring Trump, anchor Dan Harris proposed: “So does this mean Hillary Clinton may have actually been right?” Mary Bruce distorted Hillary Clinton’s claim into a prescient prediction, reporting “Hillary Clinton predicted” and “warned” Trump’s “rhetoric would become recruiting fodder.”

By Ken Shepherd | January 4, 2016 | 7:29 PM EST

According to filmmaker George Lucas, Russian directors at the height of the Cold War had more artistic freedom than he enjoyed when he was making movies in Hollywood. "I know a lot of Russian filmmakers and they have a lot more freedom than I have. All they have to do is be careful about criticizing the government. Otherwise, they can do anything they want," Lucas told PBS's Charlie Rose on the Christmas night edition of his eponymous interview program.

Sports Journo from ‘The Nation’ Likens NFL to ‘The Flintstones’ in terms of Sensitivity to Gay Slurs
By Dylan Gwinn | January 4, 2016 | 7:11 PM EST

So, if you bet good money on the Flintstones being used this weekend in an incredibly lame political analogy involving gays and the NFL…I salute you. For that exact thing happened on the Saturday edition of the “Melissa Harris-Perry Show,” when The Nation’s Dave Zirin discussed the suspension handed down to New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who received unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and was, allegedly, the target of gay slurs before the game.

Heilemann Tries and Fails to Lure Christie Into Fight With GOP Voters
By Mark Finkelstein | January 4, 2016 | 7:05 PM EST

Let's you and him fight! That was John Heilemann on today's With All Due Respect, trying to lure Chris Christie into a fight with Republican voters. Heilemann's first foray was to invite Christie to "name an issue where you are out of step with the conservative base of the Republican party." When Christie wouldn't bite, Heilemann tried again, asking Christie to name "an issue where you feel like the conservative base is wrong."

Christie called out Heilemann's ploy, saying "you're kind of looking for some Sistah Souljah moment" which Christie described as "manufactured and political." Even those who are not Christie fans might applaud him for refusing to fall into Heilemann's trap.

Vanity Fair Paints FNC’s Megyn Kelly as Standing Up to ‘Blowhards’ on Right; Skips Calling Out Liberals
By Curtis Houck | January 4, 2016 | 6:06 PM EST

For the cover story of its February issue, Vanity Fair profiled FNC’s Kelly File host Megyn Kelly and while they charted her admirable rise to primetime, work ethic, devotion to her family, and fair interviewing skills, the liberal magazine heavily touted examples of her holding the feet of conservatives to the fire and praise from liberal journalists like Chris Matthews and Katie Couric. It made no attempt to mention her confrontations with liberals.
