Clinton Donor Bans Reporter From Clinton Archives at Public Library; W
Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter -- and NewsBusters alumna -- Alana Goodman has done excellent work uncovering some rather troublesome audiotapes of Hillary Clinton. As we've noted, the liberal media have all but ignored the startling audio, although some columnists like the Washington Post's Melinda Henneberger have picked up on Goodman's reporting.
But now it seems a friend of…

MSNBC's Russert: Is the West ‘Better Off’ With Dictators in Middle
Reacting to the announcement from President Obama that the United States will be sending approximately 300 special forces to Iraq in non-combat “advisor” roles, the panel on MSNBC’s The Cycle was skeptical that the move would accomplish anything significant. It’s fair to say that the panel was not exactly erring on the side of more intervention, however.

NBC Hails Redskins Trademark Being Revoked As 'A Victory for Native Am
At the top of Wednesday's NBC Nightly News, anchor Brian Williams seized on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office revoking the trademark of the Washington Redskins as part of the liberal crusade to force the team to change it's name: "Taking a hit.

All Three Networks Skip Possible 2016 Dem Candidate's 'Gaydar' Gaffe
All three networks on Wednesday morning skipped a gaffe by a possible 2016 Democratic presidential candidate. In an interview with National Journal, former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer asserted that Republican Congressman Eric Cantor set off his "gaydar" and that southern men are "effeminate."

Shhh: NPR Goes Almost Silent on Hillary After Contentious Terry Gross
On June 12, the night of NPR’s surprising grilling of Hillary Clinton on Fresh Air over her apparent lack of fervor for gay marriage over the years, NPR’s top-of-hour newscast ran a clip. But a Nexis search of NPR reveals there's never been an NPR feature on (or quoting from) the Terry Gross interview.
Not only that, but NPR news programs have only barely touched on Mrs. Clinton's surfeit…

On the June 19 edition of NewsNation With Tamron Hall, the MSNBCer and Today news desk anchor interviewed Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) on American intervention in Iraq.

Gallup: Public's Confidence in News Media Sinks to Record Low
In its annual survey of the public's faith in 17 key institutions, TV news has fallen to a new low, with only the U.S. Congress ranking below it in terms of public esteem.

Mark Levin, Eric Cantor, and the Media Cocoon
The Liberal Clerisy Media never saw it coming. They never heard of Dave Brat. And therein lies a considerable media tale.
Let's be clear. The person responsible for electing Dave Brat and defeating Eric Cantor is...Dave Brat. But this is as good a moment as any to have a discussion about conservative talk radio and its role in various races around the country.

While the Obama administration tortures the Benghazi raid suspect into a false confession that a YouTube video made him attack our embassy, let's review what his "capture" is meant to distract us from:

Jon Stewart Pokes Fun At Hillary Interview Hype
In a startling display of bipartisan humor, Jon Stewart made fun of both CNN and Fox's over-hyped "exclusive" interviews with Hillary Clinton on the June 18 edition of The Daily Show. Stewart noted how CNN ridiculously took the time to set the stage and “introduce the chairs” before the interview.
In a later bit, the Comedy Central host played a montage of all the times Hillary promoted…

After playing a soundbite of Harry Reid on the Senate floor exclaiming his disgust for the Washington Redskins team name, MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough wondered if the Majority Leader had ever been to a game.
