Bozell & Graham Column: Exposing Hollywood Hypocrites
By Brent Bozell | and By Tim Graham | December 6, 2014 | 7:39 AM EST

The actor and comedian Russell Brand has certainly tried to brand himself. “Messiah Complex” was the name of his last tour. His new book is titled “Revolution.” On “The Tonight Show,” he told Jimmy Fallon he’s inspired by Jesus, Gandhi, Malcolm X, and Che Guevara. He thinks he’s like them. In Tinseltown they're the Fab Four revolutionaries for the downtrodden.

So it’s shocking to him -- and no surprise to us -- when he gets exposed by the British press as a fraud. He's just another champagne socialist playacting.

Michael Moore Blames NRA, Other Boogeymen of the Left for Ebola Scare
By Matthew Balan | October 16, 2014 | 11:56 AM EDT

Radical leftist Michael Moore unsurprisingly picked up where MSNBC's Krystal Ball left off and politicized the ongoing Ebola scare in the U.S. by pointing the finger at the NRA and other regular targets of ire among his ideological fellow travelers. On Thursday, Moore devoted a series of posts on Twitter to an anti-conservative rant about the disease outbreak.

Michael Moore: Obama Will Be Remembered Only as the 'First Black President...That's It'
By Randy Hall | September 11, 2014 | 7:06 AM EDT

Disappointed on the far left, Michael Moore tells Obama, "When the history is written of this era, this is how you’ll be remembered: “He was the first black president.…Eight years of your life, and that’s what people are going to remember....That's it."

New York Times Promotes the 'Fateful Fall' of Dinesh D'Souza for Campaign Law Violations
By Tim Graham | July 27, 2014 | 12:56 PM EDT

Dinesh D’Souza’s new movie was finally noticed in The New York Times Friday – on the front page. The news story was “Heady Summer, Fateful Fall for a Conservative Firebrand.” Notice how “fall” had two meanings?

The Times has failed to notice Michael Moore’s nasty divorce and how his hypocrisy about wealth has been revealed. But D’Souza is front-page fodder mostly for his admitted violation of campaign-finance laws:

NBC Discovers Hypocrisy of Michael Moore's Wealth; Used Him to Bash Wall Street in Past
By Kyle Drennen | July 23, 2014 | 11:14 AM EDT

On Wednesday, NBC's Today offered a surprising full report on "filmmaker and liberal activist" Michael Moore tarnishing his "blue-collar, anti-capitalist image" after it was revealed during divorce proceedings that Moore and his now ex-wife lived in a Michigan mansion, "the 10,000-square-foot house, reportedly in the same neighborhood as Madonna and Bruce Willis." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]

Back in 2009, the morning show invited Moore on the broadcast to bash big bonuses for Wall Street executives. In part, Moore ranted against the wealthy business leaders living in "gated communities" and "castles with moats around them." Perhaps Moore should have remembered that people living in giant mansions shouldn't throw stones.

Four Outrageous Celebrity Supporters of Venezuelan Socialism
By Sean Long | February 20, 2014 | 4:32 PM EST

Liberal celebrities finally did something useful: they proved that it’s easier to support socialism when you have toilet paper and electricity.

Wealthy Hollywood-types have the luxury to fawn over Venezuela and its authoritarian leaders, but many Venezuelans do not have share this rosy perspective. Reuters reported that anti-government activists have taken to the streets in protest against President Nicolás Maduro’s socialist regime. Several people have been killed, including a beauty queen.

Michael Moore: 'Obamacare Is Awful'
By Noel Sheppard | January 1, 2014 | 2:04 PM EST

Schlockumentary filmmaker Michael Moore made quite a statement on New Year's Day.

In an op-ed published at the New York Times, Moore wrote, "Obamacare is awful."

Year-End Awards: The Barbra Streisand Award for Celebrity Vapidity
By Rich Noyes | December 30, 2013 | 9:16 AM EST

Since the left-wing nonsense coming out of Hollywood can be just as obnoxious as anything you’d find on MSNBC, the MRC’s “Best Notable Quotables of 2013” once again includes our annual Barbra Streisand Political IQ Award for Celebrity Vapidity.

Past winners of this prestigious prize include: actress Jessica Lange in 2002 (“I despise him [George W. Bush]. I despise his administration and everything they stand for.”); The View’s Rosie O'Donnell in 2007 (“I just want to say something: 655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?”); and actor/director Rob Reiner in 2010 (“My fear is that the Tea Party gets a charismatic leader, because all they’re selling is fear and anger and that’s all Hitler sold.”)

One Year Later: Networks Remember Newtown with 39 Gun Deaths Week Before Anniversary
By Matt Philbin | December 10, 2013 | 9:04 AM EST

Saturday, Dec. 14 marks a year since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. In the run-up to that tragic anniversary, Americans can expect to hear demands for gun control from sanctimonious Hollywood stars, just as they did in the wake of the shooting.

Their demands were hypocritical then, and they’re even more hypocritical now. The entertainment industry makes huge profits depicting and often even glorifying violence – especially gun violence. For proof, look no farther than the top TV dramas that anchor prime time for both the broadcast networks and basic cable channels. Video after the break.

Michael Moore Uses Veterans Day to Plug His Movie Theater, Attack Conservatives
By Ken Shepherd | November 11, 2013 | 6:15 PM EST

Leftist filmmaker Michael Moore has taken to Twitter today to politicize Veterans Day with predictable political rhetoric about Republican-proposed cuts to food stamps affecting veterans, etc. But one tweet that virtually everyone should agree went beyond the pale was an egregiously beyond-the-pale reference to veteran suicides: "Today, as every day, 22 American veterans will commit suicide. Happy Veterans Day." [see screen capture below page break]

Yesterday evening, Mr. Moore felt compelled to share how veterans can see a free screening of a newly-released historical drama at his State Theatre moviehouse in Traverse City, Michigan: "Tomorrow, Veterans Day, all veterans admitted for free at our theater in Traverse City, MI - the State Theatre. Showing '12 Years a Slave'."

Michael Moore Fact-Checks John Kerry's Selective Memory on Iraq
By Jack Coleman | September 6, 2013 | 11:30 PM EDT

Seven words I never thought I'd say -- keep up the good work, Michael Moore.

What prompted this was a tweet from the leftist filmmaker after Secretary of State John Kerry's appearance last night on MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes" during which Kerry described why military action against the Assad regime in Syria is justified. (Video after the jump)

Michael Moore Claims He Didn't Ask for Pictures of Sandy Hook Victims to be Released
By Noel Sheppard | June 3, 2013 | 9:50 PM EDT

As NewsBusters reported Monday, in direct response to schlockumentary filmmaker Michael Moore's request that the pictures of the slaughtered Newtown, Connecticut, kids be released, family members of the victims have filed a petition for a law to be passed in their state to prevent this from happening.

Feeling the heat, Moore told The Hollywood Reporter hours ago, "I’m not calling for the release of these photos, for Christ's sake."
