NBC's Lauer Urges U.S. Olympic Athlete to Stage Gay Protest During Soc
While interviewing openly gay U.S. women's hockey team player Caitlin Cahow on Thursday's NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer hoped for controversy during the games over Russia's "anti-gay laws": "[Openly gay former tennis player] Billy Jean King said that perhaps it is time for a 'John Carlos moment'....that moment in 1968 in Mexico City [Olympics] when [U.S. runners] John Carlos and Tommy Smith…
Big Three Hype Fast Food Workers' Protests; Censor SEIU's Involvement
On Thursday, ABC, CBS, and NBC's morning newscasts all spotlighted how "fast food workers across the country are holding strikes to demand higher wages", but failed to point out the involvement of left-leaning groups in organizing the protests. ABC's Good Morning America and CBS This Morning featured spokesmen from the "Fast Food Forward" movement, but didn't include their respective…
Morning Joe Package Falsely Implies Right Wing Hate Led to JFK Assassi
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated 50 years ago by a Communist sympathizer, yet Friday’s Morning Joe on MSNBC ran a package that emphasized right-wing hate in Dallas while failing to mention Lee Harvey Oswald or his ideological leanings. The package, narrated by Brian Shactman, focused on the “unspoken speech” that President Kennedy was planning to give on the day he was shot.…
Per Libs' Book 'Double Down': Obama Told Aides Last Year That He's 'Re
I think we have the winner in the "If a Republican or conservative had said it" media bias category this year, if not this decade.
In the book "Double Down" by liberal journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann (reviewed by Peter Hamby at the Washington Post on Friday), President Barack Obama, while discussing drone strikes in 2012, reportedly told aides that he's "really good at killing…
AP's Scott Bauer Is Bitter About Wis. Gov. Scott Walker's New Book
During the 2011-2012 controversy over Wisconsin's Act 10, the establishment press, led by the Associated Press, clearly took sides against Badger State Republican Governor Scott Walker and the GOP-led legislature. No one was more blatantly biased than the AP's Scott Bauer, who repeatedly insisted in 2011 and 2012 that the law "strip(s) most public employees of their union right to collectively…
Networks Skipped Over Amnesty Rally Exposing Obama's National Mall Hyp
After the veterans' march against National Park Service barricades on Sunday, last Tuesday's rally for amnesty could be studied for contrasts...except the networks almost entirely skipped over those protests. ABC and NBC aired nothing.
CBS offered eight seconds, a 22-word snippet in their "Eye Opener" quick-clip segment at the start of Wednesday's This Morning: "An arrest for several Congress…
Ted Cruz's Hecklers Say They're Amnesty Activists
Sen. Ted Cruz was heckled during his speech at the Values Voter Summit in Washington on Friday. He joked they were from Organizing For America, the converted Obama campaign organization. But MRCTV’s Dan Joseph interviewed the hecklers after they were ejected at the Omni Shoreham Hotel.
One woman said the group of hecklers were with a group called the “Fair Immigration Reform Movement,” which…
Leftists Protest at Boston PBS Station Demanding Koch Be Fired From th
About 40 leftists assembled with an unauthorized adult-size Elmo to protest the presence of capitalist David Koch on the board of Boston PBS superstation WGBH. They decried Koch as a “climate denier” and a “polluter” and demanded his resignation from the panel. The Elmo knockoff held a sign that said “Elmo Love WGBH / Elmo No Love Koch Lies.”
Conservatives apparently can’t serve at a PBS…
WashPost Boosts Amnesty Rally on the 'Otherwise Shutdown' Mall Without
The Washington Post typically boosted a leftist rally for amnesty for illegal immigrants, with one major difference – they utterly ignored the hypocrisy of the Obama administration and the National Park Service closing open spaces in Washington, unless a left-wing protest was scheduled.
The Post promoted the rally in a story on A-4 with three photographs and a story on the front page of the…
Chris Hayes, Closet Cruz Fan? Latest 'Lean Forward' Promo Makes You W
Could Chris Hayes, the eggheady MSNBC host, be a secret admirer of conservative firebrand Ted Cruz? The question arises in light of Hayes' new "Lean Forward" promo.
In it, Hayes hails those with "the courage to look power in the eye and say 'no.'" Quick: in the current political context, who comes to mind? View the video after the jump.
Establishment Press Virtually Ignores Occupy Movement's Second Anniver
A 6 p.m. Google News search on "Occupy Movement" (not in quotes, sorted by date) returned 69 items dated September 16 and 17.
The same search adding the word "capitalism" returned only two items. This is odd, because, as one of the two items returned noted, "capitalism" — as in ending it — is the core platform of the few who remain involved with the two year-old movement.
Arch-Lib Al Hunt: 'Obama’s Syria Meanderings Border on Incompetence
If President Barack Obama is losing Al Hunt, there is definitely trouble in Lefty-land.
But let's not go too far. In the midst of leveling criticisms at Obama as "bordering on incompetence," the former host of CNN's Capital Gang and executive editor at Bloomberg News, who is now a Bloomberg View columnist and host of a Bloomberg TV's Political Capital Sunday news show, cited three examples of…
Bozell Column: The Vanishing Anti-War Left
Barack Obama ran for president as the last of the red-hot pacifists, so it might have sounded preposterous to predict that after a few security briefings at the White House, President Obama would follow in the same policy footsteps of horrid warmonger George Bush, with his anti-terrorist wars and strategies.
So where is the anti-war movement now?
'Labor Organizer' Pretends That McDonald's Has 'Plenty of Money' to Ra
It must be nice to blithely talk about how you would spend somebody else's money without thinking through the consequences.
Kendall Fells, the organizing director of Fast Food Forward in New York, told Yahoo Finance's Bernice Napatch at its Daily Ticker site that "McDonald’s made $5.5 billion in profits and there’s plenty of money to pay the workers who work there and new hires without firing…
