AP: San Bernardino Terrorist Massacre Was a 'Mass Shooting'
By Tom Blumer | December 17, 2015 | 10:04 AM EST

Pity the poor folks at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press.

The Obama administration, usually hyper-reluctant to characterize a domestic terrorist attack on U.S. soil as, well, a domestic terrorist attack, has actually had to admit in the face of overwhelming evidence that the San Bernardino massacre on December 2, during which 14 were killed and two dozen injured, was indeed a terrorist attack. Failing to adapt at sufficient speed, the headline writers, tweeters and Obama fans disguised as journalists at the AP, so used to avoiding the T-word at all costs, have made fools of themselves.

Networks Censor ABC Poll Finding 53 Percent Oppose Assault Weapons Ban
By Matthew Balan | December 16, 2015 | 6:00 PM EST

ABC's morning and evening newscasts, along with those of competitors CBS and NBC, have yet to cover on the latest Washington Post/ABC poll finding that 53 percent of Americans oppose a new assault weapons ban. This is the "first time in more than 20 years of ABC News/Washington Post polls, with the public expressing vast doubt that the authorities can prevent 'lone wolf' terrorist attacks and a substantial sense that armed citizens can help."

‘Nightly Show’ Smears ‘Creepy’ Cruz; Will ‘Do Everything the KKK Does,’ Has Mental Problems
By Curtis Houck | December 15, 2015 | 2:50 AM EST

In what may be the worst series of attacks by the liberal media on Ted Cruz, Monday’s Nightly Show on Comedy Central featured host Larry Wilmore declaring that the “creepy” Cruz may be mentally disturbed with guest Aida Rodriguez firmly asserting that, if elected, Cruz’s agenda would be to “do everything the KKK does.” 

CBS and NBC Use Newtown Anniversary to Lament Lack of Gun Control; Compare It to Car Seats, Driver’s Licenses
By Curtis Houck | December 14, 2015 | 11:53 PM EST

With Monday marking the third anniversary of the horrifying murders of 20 children and their teachers in Newtown, Connecticut, the CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News used the somber occasion to lament the lack of gun control passed by the GOP Congress and compared the need for gun control to seat belts and passing a driving test to obtain a driver’s license.

Andrea Mitchell Blames ‘The South’ for New York Gun Violence
By Kyle Drennen | December 14, 2015 | 3:36 PM EST

During a segment on her Monday MSNBC show using the third anniversary of the Newtown school shooting to demand gun control, host Andrea Mitchell pleaded for national legislation: “Andrew Cuomo, the governor who passed really tough gun legislation in New York....Yet he has said that it is impossible task because you can't do it state by state.”

NY Daily News Editor Offers Lame Defense for Inflammatory Front Pages
By Jack Coleman | December 13, 2015 | 8:08 PM EST

Look no further than the front page of the New York Daily News for the desperate state of newspapers today. Whereas the motto of broadsheet rival New York Times is "All The News That's Fit to Print," the motto of the Daily News has become "Hell, Whatever Sells Papers." 

It's gotten to the point that CNN media critic Brian Stelter on today's Reliable Sources asked Daily News editor-in-chief Jim Rich, "Is there such a thing as too far for the Daily News?"


 

AP Ignores Rabbi's Outrageous Politicized Invocation at White House Hanukkah Event
By Tom Blumer | December 13, 2015 | 2:10 AM EST

Josh Lederman at the Associated Press spent the final two paragraphs of his Wednesday evening report on a meeting between President Barack Obama and Israel's President Reuven Rivlin describing "the White House's annual Hanukkah celebration." He wrote that Rivlin "lit a menorah that was made in his homeland during the 1920s."

What was said before Rivlin lit the menorah should have been news. As seen in a Wednesday afternoon White House video, Rabbi Susan Talve essentially hijacked the event to praise a series of leftist causes, touching many of the Obama administration's pet projects along the way: open-ended immigration and "refugee" acceptance; Black Lives Matter "activists"; gun control; paranoia over "Islamophobia, and homophobia and transphobia"; and "justice for Palestinians as allies committed to peace."

Actor Kurt Russell to Liberal Journalist: 'Insane' to Think Terrorists Are Affected by Gun Control
By Melissa Mullins | December 11, 2015 | 1:40 PM EST

Kurt Russell has fought fires in the movie Backdraft, Chinese gangs in Big Trouble in Little China, American outlaws in Tombstone, crime bosses in Escape From New York and the Russian hockey team in Miracle. Now, he’s taking on the liberal media.

Russell was recently interviewed by Jeffrey Wells of Hollywood Elsewhere about his upcoming film Hateful Eight – directed by the very controversial Quentin Tarantino. Wells wasted no time trying to turn an entertainment piece into a political battle about gun control.

Seth Meyers Tees Up Hillary Clinton to Push Gun Control
By Kyle Drennen | December 11, 2015 | 1:04 PM EST

While interviewing Hillary Clinton on Thursday’s NBC Late Night, aired early Friday morning, host Seth Meyers lobbed softballs to the Democratic frontrunner on gun control: “...we have lived through so many tragic shootings...in recent months. You know, obviously, gun control is a big part of your campaign. But how can you convince people now that gun control – considering how many times it’s tried and failed – that it is anything more than a fantasy?”

Gun Grabbing Governor Gets Softballs on Terror Watch List Ban
By Scott Whitlock | December 11, 2015 | 12:52 PM EST

The liberal, pro-gun control governor of Connecticut came under very little scrutiny, Friday, in an interview for CBS This Morning. Daniel Malloy has signed an executive order that would ban anyone on the federal no-fly watch list from purchasing a gun in his state. Instead of offering constitutional or due process questions, co-host Charlie Rose touted, “Connecticut's governor vows this morning to do what the U.S. Senate would not when it comes to gun control.” 

New Republic: Ban Guns, ‘Yes All of Them’
By Matt Philbin | December 11, 2015 | 11:02 AM EST

Writer Phoebe Maltz Bovy has done the United States a service. (Actually, two – it seems she’s expatriated to Canada. Your grateful homeland salutes you, Ms. Bovy!)

Bovy has given free range to her progressive id with a screed in The New Republic (or what’s left of it) demanding a ban on guns – “Yes, all of them.” Hers is the latest in a trickle of admissions from the left about their real long-term goals on guns. Conservatives need to pay attention.

Networks Decline to Mention Party Label in Dem. Governor Banning Guns for Americans on Watchlists
By Curtis Houck | December 10, 2015 | 9:38 PM EST

On Thursday night, the major broadcast networks saw no point in informing their viewers of Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy’s party affiliation (Democrat) as ABC, CBS, and NBC all reported that Malloy had issued an executive order banning those on government watchlists from possessing guns in his state. Along with being arguably the strictest governor in the country when it comes to gun control, Malloy was also recently selected as the chair of the Democratic Governor’s Association (who’s term will run through the 2016 election).
