New Republic Writer: Knee-Jerk Bergdahl-Bashing Has Left 'Bloodthirsty

Watch your backsides, conservatives, because your vituperative, ill-considered criticism of both Bowe Bergdahl and the deal that freed him from the Taliban may come back to bite you. That was the main message from Brian Beutler in his Thursday post on the New Republic's website. Beutler argued that the compulsively anti-Obama right's inclination to believe that "a massive scandal must be…

NBC's Williams Skips V.A. Scandal in Obama Interview; Omits Reid's Cla

Brian Williams glossed over the V.A. scandal during his interview of President Obama on Friday's NBC Nightly News.

ABC's D-Day Stumble on Omaha Beach: Mistakenly Shows Photo of British

Friday's World News on ABC paid tribute to the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Normandy with an emotional look at one of the remaining veterans who survived the hellish landings on Omaha Beach. However, the Big Three newscast made a historical gaffe during anchor David Muir's introduction to the segment. Muir directed his audience's attention to a black-and-white photo of troops…

European Zoolander Appears in Alison Grimes Coal Ad

Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty. ---Derek Zoolander. The campaign of Alison Lundergan Grimes, who is running as the Democrat candidate for Senate from Kentucky, was in a rush to differentiate her from President Obama's new EPA regulations on coal.

Jon Stewart: Gun Rights Debate Is 'A Business Plan For Arms Dealers

Jon Stewart began his June 5 Daily Show with a 10-minute-long rant against Open Carry Texas, a pro-gun rights organization that recently received media attention for its members openly carrying guns into various chain restaurants throughout the Lone Star State.

CNN's New Political Director in 2012: Romneys Would Be 'Happy to Have

Walter E. Williams: Zero Tolerance for 'O' So Many Common Errors

Most who read my columns think that I'm only annoyed by politicians, growing government and Americans who have little respect or love for liberty and our Constitution. There are other things that annoy me. One annoyance is people's seeming inability or unwillingness to differentiate between the number zero and the letter "o." I've had conversations with telephone operators who have told me…

Pro-Life Billboard Towers Over Planned Parenthood – For One Day

Jackson Right to Life, in Michigan, followed all the rules when renting billboard space next to the Jackson Planned Parenthood. For one glorious day a pro-life billboard towered over Planned Parenthood’s pathetic little abortion feeder with the simple but powerful message, “Choose Life = No Regrets.” There was only one problem: The billboard was on Planned Parenthood’s property.

At the top of the 9 a.m. ET hour on Friday's NBC Today, co-hosts Al Roker, Tamron Hall, and Natalie Morales came up with an odd imaging of a 2008 meeting between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama following the bruising Democratic primary.

Doing his best to keep the Obama administration’s front line from falling into retreat, MSNBC’s Ed Schultz sprayed rhetorical cover fire all over the place on his June 5 program, defending Team Obama’s much-criticized deal to release Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for five deadly Taliban leaders. Within the first two minutes of Thursday’s The Ed Show, Schultz called Republicans “ruthless and…

Conservative Writer Runs Afoul of LGBT Thought Cops

Lest anyone still doubt the growing totalitarianism of the left – and the LGBT left especially – the recent episode involving National Review correspondent Kevin D. Williamson should prove instructive.  TIME Magazine recently featured transgender actor Laverne Cox on its cover and instructed America that transgender is “America’s next civil rights frontier.” In response, Williamson’s opinion…

Media Drive Hype on ‘Abortion Comedy’ as Planned Parenthood, NARAL

Finally, a movie that presents the murder of an innocent as the laugh riot it is! In the new abortion romantic comedy hitting theaters, the child in “Obvious Child” is anything but obvious.
