CBS's Schieffer Grills GOP Pols on Violence; Asks DNC Chair About 'Saf
Host Bob Schieffer led Sunday's Face the Nation by fretting over opposition to the passage of ObamaCare: "What about the violence in the wake of the congressional action? Isolated incidents or signs of a dangerous anger?"

O'Reilly Notes Blatant Media Hypocrisy on Protestor Anger
Last night, Bill O'Reilly used recent instances of inflamed, occasionally violent liberal protests to give his viewers a lesson in Media Bias 101. Lefties dominate the mainstream press, and are reluctant to cover events that don't suit their agendas, he stated."The Mainstream media largely ignores crazy stuff generated by the far left because many media types sympathize with liberal politics." It…
NewsBusters Interview: Jason Mattera, Author of 'Obama Zombies
Are young people completely in the tank for Barack Obama and the left? They voted for Obama over John McCain by a greater than 2-1 margin. Obama was young, cool, good looking, and well-spoken -- all the characteristics for a winning candidate in the eyes of the nation's youth.But it was more than just Obama's charisma that handed him the youth vote in 2008. He was abetted by lapdogs in the press…
Not Interested: NBC, CBS Skip Arrest of Man Plotting to Kill Eric Cant
CBS's Early Show and NBC's Today on Tuesday ignored the arrest of a man who was plotting to kill Republican Congressman Eric Cantor. ABC's Good Morning America mentioned the story only in a news brief in the 8am hour. Last week, however, GMA highlighted threats against Democrats and worried about "angry talk" from Sarah Palin. The Early Show may have ignored the story of Norman Leboon and the…

MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan Touts Left-wing Group to Convict Sean Hannity Ov
MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan on Monday eagerly attempted to convict Sean Hannity for the supposed misuse of funds by a pro-troop organization he supports, a claim already investigated and debunked. The anchor highlighted complaints against the Freedom Alliance group by the George Soros-backed Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), but never identified their liberal tilt. Ratigan …
Brent Bozell: It's Time for Conservatives to Rally Around Sean Hannity
[The following message was originally posted on my Facebook page.] I have said many times that the greatest opposition to the Left can be found in conservative talk radio and every major conservative talk show host should concern himself, or herself, with what inevitably will be ferocious personal attacks. Just ask Rush Limbaugh. It was only a matter of time before Sean Hannity would find…
Heritage's Ernest Istook Again Runs Circles Around Exasperated Ed Schu
Don't expect Ed Schultz to invite Ernest Istook back on his MSNBC show any time soon. As was the case back in November, the former congressman and distinguished fellow at the Heritage Foundation deftly engaged a hapless Schultz, to the point that Schultz this past Wednesday actually apologized to his audience because "this was not the way this interview was supposed to go." And Schultz had it all…

It speaks to the unintended effects…

Liberal Journos Use End of '24' to Claim 'Torture,' Liken Intelligence
With the recently announced end of Fox's hit series "24," many liberal pundits are parading the show as a false depiction of the notion that "torture works." Contrary to their accusations, the Jack Bauer interrogation methods bear exactly zero resemblance to any actual interrogation techniques used by American military, law enforcement, or intelligence agents."On '24,' torture saves lives," the…
MSNBC's David Shuster Rips Sarah Palin for 'Dem Hit List,' Brings on L
MSNBC's David Shuster on Monday continued to hit Sarah Palin for supposedly inciting hate against liberals and Democrats on her Facebook page. The cable channel's graphic hyperbolically complained, "Sarah Palin's Dem Hit-list." With no sense of irony, Shuster then brought on the vitriolic Mike Malloy to trash Palin. Malloy is the liberal radio host who said in 2009 that Dick Cheney has "been…
Rachel Maddow Doth Protest Too Much About Senate Run Speculation
Did you know that Republican Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts is "harassing" Rachel Maddow?
Depends, of course, on how you define harassment. Liberals like Maddow are inclined toward the most flexible definition possible, especially when directed at those of less evolved politics.
As far as Maddow is concerned, Brown is "harassing" her -- in other words, he's a criminal -- because Brown…
