Krauthammer: Obama's Wrong When He Claims We're Winning Against ISIS
By Randy Hall | December 15, 2015 | 6:06 PM EST

While a panelist on Monday night's edition of the Special Report program, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer criticized President Barack Obama for “trying to convince us that we are actually prevailing, winning, pushing in on ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria).”

The regular contributor to the Fox News Channel program said that the Democratic occupant of the White House is wrong because the terrorist organization -- which is also known as ISIL, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant -- is actually “expanding” its territory.

By NB Staff | October 9, 2015 | 4:16 PM EDT

He had stiff competition at Thursday night's MRC DisHonors Awards in Rachel Maddow and Charlie Rose, but MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell richly deserved his 2015 Puppy Love Award for gushing over President Obama as having written "the most honest and open book... ever written by a president" with his memoir Dreams of My Father.

Napolitano Rips 'Unprecedented' Freddie Gray Payout Before Cops' Criminal Trial
By Tom Blumer | September 10, 2015 | 4:02 PM EDT

On Megyn Kelly's Fox News show on Wednesday, Andrew Napolitano sharply criticized the city of Baltimore's agreement to pay $6.4 million to the family of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man who died in police custody there in April.

The Associated Press and most of the rest of the establishment press are describing the city's payout, which was approved on Thursday, as a "settlement" — an odd and inappropriate term, given that Gray's family had not yet filed a lawsuit, i.e., there was not yet a court case to "settle."

Open Thread: Judge Napolitano and Amb. Bolton Debate WikiLeaks
By NB Staff | December 2, 2010 | 9:30 AM EST

The libertarian truther vs. the hawkish former Bush official. Who gets the best of this debate?

Also, where do you stand on the central disagreement of this exchange? Does the physical defense of the nation take primacy over strict adherence to its laws given the chaotic nature of the international community?

Judge Andrew Napolitano: Another 9/11 Truther on Fox's Staff?
By Lachlan Markay | November 30, 2010 | 11:35 AM EST

Fox News apparently employs a pair of 9/11 "Truthers": Geraldo Rivera, host of FNC's "Geraldo at Large", and, we've recently discovered, Judge Andrew Napolitano, who hosts "Freedom Watch" on the Fox Business Network.

Both Napolitano and Rivera have, er, raised questions about the "official" (read: commonsensical) explanation for the collapse of the WTC7 building on September 11, 2001. This conspiracy theory has been thoroughly debunked a number of times. Apparently Geraldo and the Judge are not convinced.

Schultz Goes Below Belt with Juvenile Name-calling of Fox's Doocy
By Mark Finkelstein | September 7, 2010 | 8:35 PM EDT
You might think Ed Schultz would be out of place in a junior high recess yard, but that's where he's landed himself with his childish name-calling . . .

On his show this evening, the MSNBC host—demonstrably desperate to pick a fight with his ratings superiors at Fox News—no fewer than four times referred to FNC host Steve Doocy as Steve "Douche-y."

It was an appearance on a Doocy-hosted show by resident FNC legal expert Judge Andrew Napolitano, discussing the Glenn Beck rally, that supplied Schultz the opening to engage in his middle school-worthy mispronunciation.
