Kelly File Points Out Media’s Double Standard in Presidential Gaffes

Today the media gently laughed at Clinton’s multiple attempts at swiping her Metrocard to enter the subway system in New York City, but generally excused the mishap as something that happens “to the best of us.” Bernie Sanders was bashed by the New York Daily News for not knowing that the subway system requires fare cards, not tokens, but his gaffe was also largely a non-issue for the rest of the…

'Hardball' Ignores Bill Clinton Mixing It Up with 'Black Lives Matter'

Earlier today at a campaign event for his wife's presidential bid, Bill Clinton launched into a testy defense of his record as president against jeers from demonstrators from the Black Lives Matter movement.

NBC, CBS Can’t Stop Comparing Democrat Fight to GOP ‘Nastiness’

On Thursday night’s evening news broadcasts, NBC and CBS couldn’t stop insulting the GOP while talking about the Democratic race. From CBS’ Charlie Rose claiming that the tenor of the Democrat campaign was “sounding more and more” like the Republicans, to NBC’s Lester Holt telling Republicans to “move over” because it was the Democrats turn to “grab the limelight” with their “nasty” in-fighting.

'End of Days' for Hillary Campaign?

"At the end of the day" has been voted the most irritating, hackneyed expression in the English language. If once in a while it slips into our speech, no big whoop. But in her interview on With All Due Respect today, when Hillary's political director, Amanda Renteria, used the expression twice in her very first answer, it caught this NewsBuster's attention. And so I found myself counting. Three…

CNN's Toobin Calls Cruz 'New York Values' Comment 'Anti-Semitic'

On Thursday’s The Situation Room, CNN Legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin slammed Ted Cruz’s comments about “New York values” as a “derogatory term” about Jews which amounted to nothing more than an “old-fashioned” “anti-semitic trope” from "a hundred years" ago: "He said New York values are about money and they're about the media. That's an anti-semitic trope from a hundred years. It's been around a…

CNN Hypes Complaints About Tenn. Bill to Protect Religious Liberty

Should a devout Christian, Orthodox Jew, or Muslim marriage counselor be sued in a state court because he or she declined to take a gay or lesbian married couple as clients? It seems patently ridiculous, right? After all, these religious traditions all reject same-sex marriage as immoral and sinful. But for liberals in the media, a proposed law in Tennessee to protect the religious freedom of…

CNN Trumpets New York Daily News's 'F.U.' Headline at Ted Cruz

CNN's Alisyn Camerota repeatedly touted the New York Daily News's lowbrow anti-Ted Cruz headline on Thursday's New Day. The anchor first cracked, "Look at how helpful the Daily News is being, though, for Ted Cruz. They're giving him helpful subway directions about how to get out of the Bronx. They're suggesting that he 'take the F.U. train.'" Camerota then spotlighted it in a segment about the "…

After the network spent days attacking both North Carolina and Mississippi for passing religious freedom laws it labeled “discriminatory,” on Thursday, CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King touted “a major corporate backlash” against Mississippi as “executives from GE, Pepsi, Levi Strauss, and other companies sent a letter yesterday to the Governor Phil Bryant condemning the new law...”
