April 20th, 2013 8:17 AM
President Obama suffered a large, embarrassing loss in the Senate on a slew of gun-control bills. If this were a Republican president, they’d be sounding the lame-duck alarms on the nightly newscasts. But most media outlets can’t do this. They were fully invested in this campaign alongside Obama, and to underscore his weakness is to acknowledge their own. Since mid-December, the broadcast…

The Media vs. the GOP: Intolerant, Anti-Women, and Always Too Conserva

August 27th, 2012 9:02 AM
Bad weather may have forced Vice President Joe Biden to skip his plans to make mischief at this week’s Republican National Convention in Tampa, but Democrats don’t have to worry: the liberal “news” media have been “counter-programming” GOP conventions for decades. It doesn’t matter whether the nominee is a conservative like Ronald Reagan, or a moderate like John McCain — network reporters…

Media Rush to Attack Gun Rights in Wake of Aurora Shooting

July 27th, 2012 9:00 AM
Within hours of the horrible massacre at the Aurora, Colorado movie theater, liberal reporters hijacked the tragedy to advance their anti-gun rights agenda.

PBS's Bill Moyers Trashes America and the NRA As 'Venomous...Enablers

July 22nd, 2012 2:19 PM
Correction: Moyers unleashed on the NRA and America in a "video essay" on the Moyers & Company website, but not on the July 20 PBS program. With the first heart-breaking headlines out of Colorado, gun-rights advocates just had to know that leftist lecturers in our media would mount their soap boxes and trash this country for its gun culture and trash the National Rifle Association as an "…

Memo to Media: Common Cause Is Liberal, Not Centrist

June 21st, 2012 4:47 PM
It only takes a few minutes searching Google News to find a myriad of recent news stories referencing Common Cause as a "nonpartisan" group, a description that has long been obsolete when it comes to describing the liberal activist organization.
