Apparently, former NBC News host Brian Williams isn't the only person with a faulty memory that embellishes events in his past. On Wednesday, comedian Steve Rannazzisi was forced to admit that all his tales of barely escaping the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on New York City were pure fiction. According to an article written by reporter Serge Kovaleski for the New York Times, the 37-year-old…

Doctors can practice defensive medicine, and when it comes to Planned Parenthood, the liberal media often practice defensive journalism, aiming to prevent any prosecution or condemnation of the nation’s largest abortion provider.  The front page of Wednesday’s Planned Parenthood on the day of the second Republican presidential debate carried the headline “At a Planned Parenthood, reality belies…

Self-declared socialist and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders entered what his supporters must consider the belly of the beast on Monday. He spoke at the conservative evangelical Liberty University in Virginia. Some of those supporters sat in reserved seats, ensuring his remarks would be received with some applause.

From its "Don't read this story, it's boring" headline to its obfuscating content, today's coverage at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, of the Census Bureau's 2014 report on income and poverty in the United States was all about ensuring that readers know as little as possible about the declining incomes and disheartening increases in officially-defined poverty seen during the…

New Republic senior editor Brian Beutler has high praise for criticisms made by Donald Trump. Beutler claims Trump's criticisms are effective because they are true or at least contain a kernel of truth. Of course, Beutler feels free to lavish praise upon Trump because all of the targets he lists are Republicans. He very conveniently skips what Trump has said about Democrats. First let us watch…

Wednesday's New Day boosted Jimmy Fallon's anti-Dick Cheney crack from hours earlier on NBC's Tonight Show. Fallon spotlighted how Bernie Sanders was "concerned about what he called 'war talk' coming from the Republicans," and added, "Yeah, 'war talk' – or, as Dick Cheney calls it, 'phone sex.'" The CNN morning newscast included the line in a video round-up of late night shows' jabs at…

Last Friday marked the 14th anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks. It also happened to be the day 67-year-old Gerald “Jerry” Casale married 26-year-old Krista Napp, and used the tragic events as the theme for their wedding. Casale is notable as the singer and base player of the early 1980s novelty pop act Devo. Unfortunately, he treated the 9-11 anniversary as a novelty too. The…

The stage for tonight’s prime-time Republican presidential debate will be occupied by businesspersons, U.S. senators, current and former governors, and, in Jeet Heer’s words, a “genial fanatic,” whom you probably know better as retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson. Heer opined in a Wednesday article that Carson “combines extreme ideas with a comforting, trust-inducing persona” and explained that…

As more damning video comes out exposing Planned Parenthood’s grisly trade in aborted baby parts, the left is pushing back. This morning there was a red-herring Washington Post article on a PP clinic that doesn’t provide abortions, followed by a House Democrat media event defending PP’s federal subsidies. Given the disgraceful media blackout of the PP issue, we probably shouldn’t expect attending…

In a report for MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Wednesday, political correspondent Kasie Hunt used the upcoming Republican debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California to proclaim the GOP to be “all but extinct” in the Golden State.

During an appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night, CNN’s Jake Tapper pushed back against the idea that the media fueled Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and instead stressed that there “is a chicken and egg thing there.” 

Filmmaker and liberal activist James Cameron appeared on MSNBC, Tuesday, to “bemoan” the climate “denialists” on “the right” who won’t face up to the “biggest crisis” for Earth. Talking to Chris Hayes, the director lamented, “I felt hopeless for a long time watching a government that's paralyzed by denialism on the right, about what I think of as the biggest crisis that our society and our global…

A Media Research Center study finds that, over a two week period, coverage of Donald Trump’s campaign took up nearly 78 percent of all CNN’s prime time GOP campaign coverage – 580 minutes out of a total of 747 minutes. All 16 non-Trump candidates got a combined total of just 167 minutes.
