Even CNN's Toobin Slams Justice Ginsburg for Anti-Trump Comments

While much of the dominant media have gone soft on liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's recent remarks attacking GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump -- unprecedented for a sitting U.S. Supreme Court justice -- her comments were enough that even liberal CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin slammed her as being "completely wrong," and even recommended that she "recuse herself" if the…

Journalists Lead the Cheers for Hillary for President

Today, the seventh (and next-to-last) installment of NewsBusters’ special report, “Hillary Clinton’s Media Fan Club,” documenting how the media have helped fuel Clinton’s political campaign by showering her with fawning news coverage, from NBC’s Willie Geist touting, “Can you think of a more qualified human being,” to MSNBC’s Chris Matthews thrilled by the idea of Hillary becoming “a truly great…

Famous Director Hates ‘Stupid Illusion’ of ‘Masculine’ Captain America

Veteran director John McTiernan spewed venom at the Captain America films, saying comic book movies are made by “fascists” and promote a “cult of hyper-masculinity.” The man behind such films as Die Hard and Predator talked to the French website Premiere and derided the action genre: “They are comic book adaptations. There is action but not of human beings, these are films made by fascists.”

CBS, NBC Praise Obama’s Speech at Dallas Memorial Service

In an encore of their performance from earlier in the day CBS and NBC heaped their praises on to President Barack Obama Tuesday evening. “He eulogized the slain police officers of Dallas, but he seized this moment of national attention to plea for reason from both sides of a racial divide,” proclaimed Anchor Scott Pelley on CBC Evening News. Pelley seemed to be in awe of the president during his…

AP Waters Down 3 Venezuela Stories; Final One Fails to Cite Socialism

Tuesday's coverage at the Associated Press of the deepening humanitarian crisis in the Bolivarian socialist disaster known as Venezuela focused on the conditions in the ever-lengthening lines its citizens must endure in hopes of obtaining enough of the basics of everyday life just to survive. Wire service reports often start off relatively brief and expand as reporters gather more information.…

ABC, CBS Ignore Ethical Concerns with Ginsberg’s Trump Comments

It came to light Tuesday that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg had been talking to the media about what she thinks of Donald Trump. A Justice coming out as opposed to or in favor of a candidate running for elected office has never really been done before, and it’s drawing ethical concerns from experts. Yet ABC and CBS treated it like just another wacky development in the 2016…

ESPN: ‘Good Riddance’ to Cops That Protested Black Lives Matter Shirts

ESPN 2’s Jemele Hill and Michael Smith flipped their collective wig on Tuesday’s episode of His and Hers. Because, and I didn’t think this was possible, the two lefty journos finally stumbled upon an example of a protest involving Black Lives Matter and the police, that they could not support.

Bozell & Graham Column: Absolving Black Lives Matter in Dallas

When white racist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine people in a black church in Charleston, it was very easy for President Obama and his media enablers to paint with a broad brush and blame the broader political culture. Bill Maher even blamed Fox News and the Daily Caller and the Drudge Report. But when black racist Micah Johnson gunned down five cops and wounded seven others in Dallas, suddenly…

Police to Browns Player who Posted Cop-Killing Pic: ‘Kiss my Ass'

Tuesday proved a big day for large speeches and proclamations from two leaders in particular. As for the guy actually leading, his name is Stephen Loomis. He is the President of the Cleveland Police Patrolman’s Association, and he is more than a little irate at Cleveland Brown’s running back Isaiah Crowell, for posting an image of a police officer having his throat slit on social media.

Spanish Nets Black Out New Pew Poll of Hispanics

You wouldn't know it from watching any of the U.S. national Spanish-language evening newscasts, but the Pew Research Center has released a survey that shows that among the country's Hispanic voters, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is currently polling at roughly the same levels Mitt Romney and John McCain did as the party's previous standard-bearers.

Obama's Divisive Double Standards

President Obama's knee-jerk reaction to the Dallas shootings brings into clear relief his biases and double standards on racially or religiously motivated violence. Have we ever had a president as blinded by his ideology and as oblivious or dismissive about his own biases and the double standards he invokes?

Matthews: ‘Churchy’ Pence ‘Is Almost Horny for the Job’ as Trump’s VP

MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews was off on vacation last week, so viewers and NewsBusters readers received a reprieve from his liberal commentary and head-scratching utterances like the one he offered on Tuesday when he joked that the “churchy” Republican Governor Mike Pence (Ind.) “is almost horny for the job” as Donald Trump’s vice presidential nominee.

Hillary Cites Her Ghost-Written Book as Among Most Influential to Her

Back in August 2015, Donald Trump drew predictable derision from the left for citing the Bible and his own "The Art of the Deal" as his favorite books. Don't hold your breath waiting for liberals to react with anything remotely similar to Hillary Clinton making an even loftier claim. Asked during an interview with Vox to cite books on policy that have influenced her, Clinton first named "It…

Ezra Klein Sees Nothing Odd About Identical Hillary Descriptions

Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life. Anybody who ever saw the movie The Manchurian Candidate would have quickly thought it rather odd that every soldier captured in Korea with Raymond Shaw gave identical answers when asked to describe him. However, when associates of Hillary used identical answers to describe her, Ezra Klein of Vox…
