In what was an otherwise softball interview with Chelsea Clinton on Tuesday’s NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie did briefly press the former first daughter (and former NBC correspondent) on Hillary Clinton’s struggling presidential campaign: “You are one of her most trusted advisers as well as her daughter....And there was a recent poll that was really striking because it asked voters what is a…

After Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina’s SuperPAC released an ad responding to Donald Trump criticizing her looks, View co-host Joy Behar attacked Fiorina for daring to invoke “women’s suffrage” given that she is pro-life and opposes ObamaCare. The liberal ABC host lectured Fiorina on women’s issues and proclaimed she should “be ashamed of herself. It’s not your face honey, it’s…

Like someone looking for the first robin of Spring, this NewsBuster has been on the prowl for the first media person to suggest that Hillary Clinton is going to have to quit the race.  Joe Scarborough didn't go quite that far, but let's just say his shirtfront was taking on a distinctly robin-red hue on today's Morning Joe. After lambasting her "dismal" performance on the stump, Scarborough--…

MRC president Brent Bozell was interviewed by Stuart Varney on the Fox Business program Varney & Co. on Monday morning on the subject of the media's Donald Trump obsession.

Lefty pundit Amanda Marcotte grants that so-called political theater usually dovetails with the beliefs of the politicians and activists who perform it. Among the exceptions: some Republicans’ insincere, “comically overwrought meltdowns” over the Iran nuclear deal. Those histrionics, Marcotte declared in a Wednesday Talking Points Memo column, are meant “to stir up irrational fears to be harped…
