Trump Spokeswoman Stumps 'Reliable Sources' Brian Stelter on MSM Bias
The original title I thought of for this story used the word "Schools" but considering the total beatdown Donald Trump spokewoman Katrina Pierson methodically administered to Brian Stelter of CNN's Reliable Sources, "Stumps" seems much more appropriate. Perhaps even "Stomps" could have been used but watch the video below and judge for yourself. Rarely has a representative of the mainstream media…

ABC, PBS Extol ‘Stern & Direct’ Obama Speech; ‘Struck’ by Pledge on IS
While NBC’s Lester Holt was wondering before President Obama’s speech Sunday night if it would “be a defining moment for this presidency,” his counterparts on ABC and PBS picked up where he left off afterward by enthusiastically praising how “struck” they were by “a stern and direct” Obama “laying out" what Obama called "a strong and smart strategy” to deal with terrorism.

Engel on Obama Speech: 'Same Strategy That Hasn't Been Working'
Maybe you're a liberal, reluctant to accept Charles Krauthammer's conclusion that President Obama's speech on terror tonight was a "complete failure." Fine. But there's no getting around Richard Engel, whom no one would accuse of conservatism. Speaking with Chris Matthews on MSNBC, the bleak assessment of NBC's chief foreign correspondent was that President Obama laid out "the same strategy that…
Hartmann: Food Stamps Among 'Best Ways' to Stimulate Economy
You're Definitely A Liberal When ... Assertion #7,546 -- You claim with a straight face that taxpayer-funded food stamps are wondrously stimulative for the economy.
It's been so long since this one crossed my path that I'd begun to believe it was too delusional even for the left.
But sure enough there it was, making its inevitable reappeance on Thom Hartmann's radio show last week. Perhaps…

NBC’s Lester Holt: Will Obama’s Speech ‘Be a Defining Moment?'
Seconds before President Obama addressed the nation from the Oval Office on Sunday night, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt gave viewers a quick preview with Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd and wondered to Todd if the speech will mark “a defining moment for this presidency.”
Even Politifact Criticized New 'Definition' of 'Mass Shooting' in Oct.
As shown early this morning, the press's redefinition of the term "mass shooting" has turned into a nearly omnipresent meme virtually overnight in the wake of Wednesday's Islamic terrorist massacre in San Bernardino, California. Under the new, demonstrably indefensible definition which not only breaks with past practice but also pretends it never existed, there have been 355 "mass shootings" so…

Tanden Suggests Obama Use Speech to Denounce GOP on Muslims
Center for American Progress (CAP) President Neera Tanden joined CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday morning as part of the panel and encouraged President Obama to use part of his Oval Office speech later in the day to denounce Republicans for their “continual language....to target Muslims” which she argued the GOP’s so-called Islamophobia “is exactly what ISIS wants.”
NPR Anchor 'Couldn't Resist' Mocking Ben Carson About 'Hummus'
On Friday's All Things Considered, NPR anchor Robert Siegel began the "Week in Politics" segment with a serious focus on San Bernardino, but he "couldn't resist" creating a tag-team mockery of conservative presidential candidate Ben Carson for pronouncing Hamas like it rhymed with "Thomas." Like Morning Joe, these media elites wanted to claim he said "hummus," which is funnier.
Venezuela Elections: Guardian Castigates 'Country Club' Conservatives

Domenech, Will Slam NYT Gun Control Editorial; 'Real Gap' with Reality
Three of the four Sunday network morning news shows commented on Saturday’s New York Times front-page editorial calling for massive gun control, but it was The Federalist’s Ben Domenech and The Washington Post’s George Will that provided the most succinct takedowns of the liberal paper and the disconnect it exhibited in opinion between the liberal media and President Obama versus the American…
Salon Pundit: Has GOP Rhetoric Already Inspired a Terrorist Attack?
In a column posted last Monday, two days before the San Bernardino massacre, Heather Digby Parton warned of Americans with “violent desires” who might find “inspiration” to stage mass-casualty attacks not in jihadist propaganda, but in rhetoric used during “a Republican presidential debate.”
Parton linked the fatal shootings at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs to remarks by GOP…
NYT: 'Angry...Seething...Almost Apocalyptic' GOP Raises 'Islamophobia'
The front page of Saturday's New York Times, next to the paper's already infamous front-page gun-control editorial, claimed that "Shootings in California Reshape the Campaigns." The language used by reporters Michael Barbaro and Trip Gabriel, was quite revealing. See how the Republican presidential candidates "angrily demanded...[rode a] rising tide of bellicosity... seethed with disgust for…

Liberal PBS Analyst: Dems Have Been 'Tone Deaf' Since Paris Attacks
PBS NewsHour political analyst Mark Shields is a pretty partisan liberal Democrat, but on Friday, he was sounding an alarm. Since Paris, “the Democrats have been tone-deaf” on the rising tide of terrorism.
Even Mother Jones Spurns Stat of 355 Mass Shootings This Year; It's 4
At the Washington Post's Wonkblog on Wednesday, Christopher Ingraham claimed that the San Bernardino massacre, which we now know was an act of Islamic terrorism, was the "355th" mass shooting "this year." A Google search on "355th mass shooting this year" (not in quotes) indicates that the stat has become a media meme, repeated at places like the Today Show, PBS, NPR, NBCnews.com, and too many…
