Fox News Won’t Fire Liberal Contributor for ‘White Boy’ Insult

While its leftist critics continually ignore them, Fox News Channel employs a number of liberal commentators. Unfortunately, it is continuing to stand by one of them, Democratic strategist Jehmu Greene, who insulted Daily Caller editor Tucker Carlson as a “bow-tying white boy.” Greene, former national director of the liberal group Project Vote, made the insult during a debate with Carlson on…

IBD Calls Out Establishment Press For Promoting 'Myth' of European 'Au

In one of a virtually endless stream of such examples, a Monday Associated Press report by Elaine Ganley and Greg Keller on challenges facing newly elected French Prime Minister, Socialist Francois Hollande, described him as "the leftist who has pledged to buck Europe's austerity trend." What a deceptive joke. Europe's attempt at "austerity" can't be a "trend," because it hasn't even started…

Bill O'Reilly: 'Inconceivable That Had a White Mob Set Upon Two Black

Open Thread: Union Boss Lowers Expectations for Walker Recall

Wisconsin Republican Scott Walker has been the target of government union bosses since he began talking about a series of small reforms designed to preserve state employee pensions without breaking the budget. Despite the crony millions being spent, however, Walker seems likely to be able to stave off the union attempt to depose him in a recall election. That likelihood is perhaps what…

'Underwear Bomber' Less Newsworthy Than People Crying Over Michelle Ob

The news Monday of a thwarted al-Qaeda plot to place another explosive device modeled on the "underwear bomb" that failed on Christmas Day 2009 might make a news consumer wonder: What ever happened to that terrorist, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab? On February 16, he was sentenced to life in prison for his attempt at mass murder. Did you miss it? The networks weren't very interested. Only ABC's…

NYT's Collins, Obsessed With Romney Dog Story, Defends Obama's Dog-Eat

In her Saturday column for the New York Times, Gail Collins, who has made a smug little cottage industry out of her obsession (a few dozen column mentions) with Mitt Romney securing the family dog in a hutch on the roof of his car on a family vacation over 20 years ago, finally, if reluctantly, referenced the fact that Obama ate dog as a boy in Indonesia. Romney's story was much worse, she…

AP Plays Up Romney On Obama and Treason, Plays Down Axelrod Calling Ro

AP showed an interesting imbalance in reporting on wild things said on the campaign trail on Monday. First came the article headlined "Romney: Obama Shouldn't Be Tried for Treason." Reporter Steve Peoples passed along the Obama campaign spin that Romney should stand up to "extreme voices" in his party. Soon after, the same Steve Peoples wrote a story on Obama strategy that waited until…

Chris Matthews Compares Mitt Romney to 'Wall Street' Villain Gordon Ge

Last August, Politico revealed that the Obama campaign intended to make Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney "a sort of political Gordon Gekko" if he won the nomination. Right out of that playbook, MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Monday compared Romney to the financial villain of the '80s movie classic "Wall Street" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Limbaugh Asks: Will Liberal Media Try to Ban Football

Rush Limbaugh is wondering if the Left is going to try to ban football. It sounds like a crazy question, given the massive popularity of both professional and college football all across America, but Limbaugh's question isn't as crazy as it seems. "Compassion" -- and the Left's reflexive Nanny State impulse -- might move the ball in that direction.
