Politico’s Roger Simon: CPAC Is The ‘Militant Wing’ Of The Repub
Nothing is more amusing than having a liberal “columnist” comment on the state of the conservative movement. It seems as though Politico’s Roger Simon is one such liberal who feels it is his duty to trash conservatism on a regular basis.

NBC's Today Pretending That Libya Consulate Attack Isn't News Anymore
The 2007 video of then-Senator Barack Obama hinting at racism in the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina isn't the only news story that NBC's Today show stuck up its nose at during the first days of October.

MSNBC's Mitchell, Melvin Denounce Gingrich's Rhetoric As Racist 'Dog W

MSNBC Gives Platform for Tebow-bashing, This Time by Leftist Writer Da
"I have lost the debate on Tim Tebow’s skill as a quarterback. But I’ll still challenge Tim Tebow’s politics for as long as necessary. And in that battle, the fight continues."

On Friday's NBC Today, MSNBC anchor Craig Melvin gushed over a new class at Georgetown University taught by liberal professor Michael Eric Dyson: "Race, class, gender, culture, all things that would be covered in most sociology classes and they're covered in Michael Eric Dyson's as well, but the issues are examined in a way that uniquely appeals to college students."

MSNBC Tees Up Ron Howard, Jane Lynch to Lend Support to Obama Tax Hike
MSNBC daytime anchor Craig Melvin took minor detours in interviews this afternoon with director Ron Howard and actress Jane Lynch to ask both celebrities to weigh in on President Obama's push for higher taxes on upper income earners.
