‘The View’ Shows Rare Common Sense on Chick-Fil-A

Are public figures allowed to have an opinion anymore? Are private companies allowed to donate to the charitable causes of their own choosing, no matter how unfashionable they might be?

Dickerson invoked a liberal slogan from the 1990s: "What the President was saying, is it takes a…

Video: The Liberal Media's History of Falsely Blaming Conservatives fo

Our friends at MRCTV have a great new video that goes through a short history of the liberal media's penchant for hastily laying the blame for spree shootings and other violent attacks on conservatives. Yet time after time, when all the facts came out, we learned that it was anything but conservatives behind each and every incident. Of course, by the time all the facts came out, the media spin…

Christian Science Monitor Bashes Romney for 'Racist' Ads Using... Raci

  Some liberals would have you believe that just because you can't see it on the surface, Mitt Romney's campaign ads are brimming with racism. What's funny about this analysis, if you could call it one, is that it seeks to combat racism by being racist.  It's like the Voter ID narrative the left is pushing in the media.  Liberals feel that blacks and minorities are incapable to obtaining a…

Sports Media Launches Olympic-Sized Blitz from Left

The Olympic Games, which begin this week, is an exhibition of the sportsmanship, teamwork, and the competitive spirit that make sports so enjoyable.

Iowa Radio Station Dumps ABC Over ‘Pink Slime’ Coverage

ABC News is having a banner week. First it was forced to acknowledge that reporter Brian Ross had smeared an innocent member of the Colorado Tea Party (and Tea Partiers more broadly) by speculating on-air that Aurora killer James Holmes might be a Tea Party member of the same name.  Now, because it’s hysterical reporting harmed an industry and cost hundreds of jobs, an Iowa radio station…
