Former Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld has had a subcription to the New York Times for roughly 60 years. As he told radio host Joe "Pags" Pagliarulo Tuesday, he cancelled it as a result of Paul Krugman's "repulsive and repugnant" blog posting on 9/11 (video follows with transcript and commentary):

On Monday, the Tarrance Group released a poll showing that 74 percent of American voters believe "that businesses and consumers are over-regulated." What's more, "another two thirds (67%) believe that regulations have increased over the past few years. These percentages include majorities of all partisan affiliations, with 91% of Republicans, 75% of Independents and 58% of Democrats saying…

The Today show, which is a four hour program, on Wednesday devoted a scant 43 seconds of air time to a surprising loss by Democrats in a New York special congressional election. Both CBS and ABC offered more expansive coverage. ABC's Good Morning America saw the election of Republican Bob Turner as a "stunning upset." Referencing another GOP win in Nevada, host George Stephanopoulos…

Jill Abramson, the paper’s new executive editor, talked with the Times’s public editor Arthur Brisbane on Sunday, and touched on the paper’s perceived liberal slant. Abramson didn't quite deny it.   Brisbane: The legendary Times executive editor A. M. Rosenthal once told a colleague he felt the need to steer The Times to the right to compensate for the leftward political leanings of some…

Deroy Murdock has an excellent column at National Review Online holding up the Reagan economic record vs. Barack Obama's. It's an excellent read. An excerpt follows the page break. Leave us your thoughts in the comments section:

Just as they did right after the killing of Osama bin Laden back in May, NBC's Brian Williams and Richard Engel interrupted Sunday morning's ceremonies marking the tenth annivesary of the 9/11 attacks to pontificate against the war in Iraq. At about 9:30am on Sunday, during live coverage of the events at Ground Zero, Williams instructed the audience: "Iraq had nothing do with this."…

Despite having been exposed for at least twice calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme, MSNBC's Chris Matthews continues to pound Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry for saying the same thing. Here's what the "Hardball" host hypocritically said on Tuesday's program (video follows with transcript and commentary):

"To the degree" that the jump in the poverty rate in the United States is being reported, it "is being reported as a problem for Obama" and "not a problem caused by Obama," NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told Fox Business Network's David Asman on the September 13 edition of "Nightly Scoreboard." "His policies have nothing to do with the effect," in the minds of liberal journalists, the…

Tuesday's New York Times's “Check Point” was the latest liberally slanted fact check of a G.O.P. presidential debate, this time by two liberal reporters, Michael Cooper and Nicholas Confessore, “Perry’s Criticism of Social Security as ‘Ponzi Scheme' Dogs Him in Debate.” Confessore, who once worked for the liberal journals Washington Monthly and American Prospect, once again staunchly…

Is there anything left that's sacred to liberal media members? On Tuesday, the "Daily Show's" Jon Stewart mocked the previous day's Republican presidential debate by disgracefully saying the set "looks like the inside of Betsy Ross's vagina" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Appearing on Tuesday's The Ed Show, MSNBC political analyst Jonathan Alter urged both liberals - euphemistically calling them "progressives" - and non-liberals to support President Obama's economic plan and advised Obama to "fight, fight, fight," and argue that Republican opposition would mean they are "standing in the way of you getting a job." After host Ed Schultz asked Alter about the GOP…

Ronald Prescott Reagan is again making silly noises. The Radio Equalizer blog listened in on the radio show Both Sides Now with Huffington and Matalin on Saturday, when Junior Reagan boosted MSNBC (where he recently substituted for Chris Matthews hosting 'Hardball') as "a news network that actually has some fealty to the truth, unlike Fox News, which is a propaganda outfit." Blogger Brian…

Too much of anything is just as much a misallocation of resources as it is too little, and that applies to higher education just as it applies to everything else. A recent study from The Center for College Affordability and Productivity titled "From Wall Street to Wal-Mart," by Richard Vedder, Christopher Denhart, Matthew Denhart, Christopher Matgouranis and Jonathan Robe, explains that college…

Anderson Cooper debuted his new Oprah-esque afternoon talk show on Monday. The Washington Post does not see this as an occasion to wonder what this says about the hard-news brand of CNN -- which after all, just made Cooper its top 8 pm attraction. Instead, in a splashy Style section piece on Tuesday, Post TV critic Hank Stuever felt it was an occasion to honor how “Daytime Anderson” has now…
