January 24th, 2007 5:43 PM
Vice President Dick Cheney squared off with CNN host Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday in a contentious, multi-part "Situation Room" interview. Blitzer seemed to openly adopt the mantra and talking points of the Democratic Party. In fact, in a tease for the interview, Blitzer promised, "The Vice President takes on his critics, including me." Cheney, whose wife Lynne aggressively sparred the cable anchor…
Boston Globe’s Jacoby Attacks Democrat Silence on Terrorism
January 24th, 2007 1:30 PM
Here’s something you don’t see every day: a columnist at a liberal newspaper saying bad things about Democrats. In this case, it’s especially odd given that the targets of the disaffection were primarily media darlings Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.Yet, there it was in Wednesday’s Boston Globe:
Anti-American and Anti-Semitic Cartoons Aired on Iranian Television
January 23rd, 2007 11:55 AM
One of the common themes emanating from the media in recent years is that the world and the Middle East were much safer places before America invaded Iraq in March 2003. In their view, all of the geopolitical problems began that very month, and prior to that point, the earth was a happy place whose citizens all got along like two-year-olds in a sandbox.Unfortunately, this position hypocritically…
O’Reilly Debates ‘24’ Being Anti-Muslim With CAIR Legal Director
January 20th, 2007 3:36 PM
Here’s a shocker: The Council on American-Islamic Relations is unhappy about the hit television series “24”. Imagine that.With that in mind, CAIR’s legal director, Arsalan Iftikhar, went on the “O’Reilly Factor” Friday to discuss his organization’s views on this subject (video available here). O’Reilly marvelously set the discussion up:Isn't this political correctness gone crazy? I mean, let's…
Newsweek Wonders if ‘24’ is a ‘Neocon Sex Fantasy
January 17th, 2007 11:55 AM
With all the negative focus on an Emmy Award-winning television drama, one has to start wondering if the media are more afraid of “24” and any reference to terrorism than terrorism itself.As NewsBusters has reported here, here, here, here, and here, the media have been in quite a lather about the first four episodes of the hit series' sixth season aired on Fox Sunday and Monday. Thanks to a…
Time Magazine Asks ‘Is 24 a Conservative Show
January 16th, 2007 3:07 PM
It appears impossible for Time magazine to do anything without bringing its liberal bias into the equation, for in his January 14 review of the return of television hero Jack Bauer, writer James Poniewozik asked, “So, is 24 a conservative show?”Checking that link about now to measure my veracity? Go ahead. I dare you.Sadly, the answer seemed just as foolish as the question: “Yes, in the sense…
Olbermann Fumes Over Bush Speech, Suggests President is ‘Drunken Pes
January 12th, 2007 11:05 AM
There’s really no other way of putting this: Keith Olbermann is a disgrace, and the idea that any major media outlet would give him a daily platform to spew his vitriol from is similarly so.Such an observation certainly comes as no great surprise to NewsBusters readers who have been regularly subjected to videos and transcripts of this man’s vapid and insipid rantings since this blog was first…
MSNBC Correspondent Shuster Goes on Shameful Cindy Sheehan Style Antiw
January 5th, 2007 8:54 AM
In 2006, one of the most shameless Democrat pols in the media was certainly MSNBC correspondent David Shuster who repeatedly and consistently behaved more like a left-leaning political operative than a television journalist. On Wednesday’s “Hardball,” Shuster made it clear that objectivity and impartiality were not on his New Year’s resolutions list. As NewsBuster Mark Finkelstein has been…
