ABC Financial Expert Slapping S&P As 'Suspect' Is Undisclosed Obama Fu
The predictable MSM reaction to Standard & Poor's downgrading of the US government's credit rating? Kill the messenger, of course. Yesterday, we noted how Jeff Glor at CBS' Early Show parroted the Obama line about the downgrade being "political."
Today it was ABC's turn. Good Morning America had on Mellody Hobson, a regular ABC "financial contributor" and former host of her own ABC…
Andrea Mitchell: 'Everyone Is Feeling A Lack Of Hope
If Barack Obama has lost Andrea Mitchell, has he lost the MSM?
Surveying the economy on her MSNBC show his afternoon, Mitchell gloomily observed: "it just seems as though everyone is feeling a lack of hope."
The White House needn't fear too much. Mitchell might have wandered somewhat off script. But Andrea has surely not abandoned the ranks of the Obama-loving media. She fretted that…
ABC's Jon Karl Blames House GOP for FAA Shutdown, Skips Democratic Obs
Good Morning America's Jon Karl on Thursday placed the blame for a partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration on House Republicans, ignoring the role Senate Democrats have played.
4000 thousand FAA workers have been furloughed, construction projects have been stopped, but Karl complained, "What's the hold up? Republicans are insisting on cuts to a program that subsidizes flights…
Chris Matthews: Southern 'Secessionists' Want to 'Kill' Obama...'Polit
MSNBC's Chris Matthews took his hateful attacks on conservatives to a new level, Wednesday, smearing the Tea Party as "southern" "secessionists" who want to "kill" Obama. The Hardball host quickly amended, "politically."
After guest Howard Fineman suggested Republicans have opposed the President from the start, the Hardball anchor retorted, "What? 'We hate you, want to kill you–' …
NYT's Thomas Friedman Proves Rubio's Point: GOP 'Being Led Around By E
Speaking on the floor of the Senate Saturday, Marco Rubio (R-Fl.) said, "If we had a billion dollars for every time I heard the words 'Tea Party extremist,' we could solve this debt problem."
Proving his point about the vitriolic name-calling of conservatives so prevalent now, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman began his most recent piece, "Watching today's Republicans being led around…
Great Debate: Sen. Obama Vs. President Obama
Would Senator Barack Obama disagree with the actions and statements of President Barack Obama? That question gets a closer look in the video ‘The Great Debate’.

Heilemann: Obama's 'Hope' in 2008 to be Replaced by 'Fear' of Republic
Forget about 2008's "Hope and Change" mantra.
New York magazine's John Heilemann said on this weekend's "Chris Matthews Show" Barack Obama's message in 2012 will all be about "fear" of the Republican candidate, and the President will spend $500 million on negative attack ads against his opponent to instill it (video follows with transcript and commentary):
Michael Steele Laughs At Joan Walsh For Calling Obama 'The Reagan Figu
As NewsBusters previously reported, Chris Matthews on Wednesday lied about Ronald Reagan's position on taxes in a "Hardball" segment insinuating the late President would oppose the current Republican stance on the debt ceiling.
When Salon editor Joan Walsh said Obama "is actually the Reagan figure here," former RNC chairman Michael Steele bust out laughing (video follows with transcript and…
Biographer of Obama's Mother Won't Discuss Debunking of His Health Ins
For having made a shocking revelation that deeply undermined one the most repeated stories of Obama's 2008 campaign and 2009 health care debate, Janny Scott is staying extremely quiet. Scott's new book, 'A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama's Mother,' proved false Obama's claim that his mother was fighting with insurance companies from her death bed, one of Obama's favorite lines…
Obama's False Family Drama: Ann Dunham Was Not Denied Health Insurance
As Clay Waters at the Media Research Center's Times Watch reported earlier today ("One of Obama's Emotional Arguments for Obama-Care Proven Wrong in NYT Staffer's New Book"), the New York Times's Kevin Sack ran a story yesterday which "reflects badly on Barack Obama and how he misled people in his campaign for Obama-care."
I'll say. As reported by Sack (bolds are mine throughout this post):
Media Focused on Big Bush Donors, Paying Little Attention to Obama's F
It's no secret that most campaigns are heavily funded by big checks from lobbyists, PACs, and rich donors, but President Obama's campaign team is turning away from that assertion, instead showcasing the claim that it is 98-percent-funded by grassroots support. Jim Messina, Obama's campaign manager, said "we did this from the bottom up," pushing the idea that the $86 million fundraising figure…
Zbig Brzezinski: 'Ignorant' Americans Susceptible to 'Simplistic Sloga
You mean, like the Americans who made president someone who two years before had been a state legislator and ran on "hope and change"?
Seriously, just who did Zbigniew Brzezinski have in mind when he said this on Morning Joe today?
"We have a large public that's very ignorant about world affairs, and very susceptible to simplistic slogans by candidates who appear out of nowhere, have no…
After Mocking Rick Perry for Calling Twitter 'Tweeter' Chris Matthews
John Lennon in the '70s sang about instant karma getting you.
On Wednesday's "Hardball," two weeks after mocking Texas governor Rick Perry for calling Twitter "Tweeter," the pathetically pompous Chris Matthews made the same mistake not once, but twice (video follows with transcript and commentary):
ABC Chides Money-'Obsessed' Candidates' Fourth of July, Gushed Over Ob
Good Morning America's John Berman on Tuesday offered a condescending, dismissive take on how the money "obsessed" presidential candidates spent their Fourth of July. Yet, four years ago, the same program offered a fawning look at what Barack Obama did on Independence Day.
After mentioning Michele Bachmann and Newt Gingrich, Berman suggested that the Fourth of July could be "a chance to take…
