CBS's Stahl Hedges While Denying Liberal Pro-Clinton Media Bias

As CBS News veteran Lesley Stahl appeared as a guest on FNC's Media Buzz on Sunday, host Howard Kurtz might have almost gotten her to admit to liberal personal biases among her colleagues as she seemed to hedge on the issue of whether there is a liberal pro-Hillary Clinton bias. After initially denying Kurtz's suggestion that "the liberal press wants Hillary Clinton to win," claiming that…

ABC Protects Clintons from Trump's 'Low Blow' Attacks

LGBT Lobbyists Demand ‘Purity of a Queer Relationship’ in ‘Frozen 2’

According to GLAAD (the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), Disney has a big fat “F” for LGBT representation in their movies – meaning, there haven’t been any gay characters in children’s movies in 2015.  However, since Disney announced there will be a Frozen 2 in the works for 2018, a few frustrated Frozen lesbian fans are trying to use the movie to feature an alternative romance for…

NYT Reporter: Blumenthal 'Very Important' in Swaying Hillary on Libya

New York Times correspondent Mark Landler has a new book out discussing the foreign-policy ideas of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton titled Alter Egos. On Monday, as part of the book tour, he appeared on The Steve Malzberg Show on Newsmax TV. Landler argued that Mrs. Clinton will run as more centrist and hawkish than Obama....like she did in 2008. But when Malzberg pressed Landler on her close…

CNN's Louis: Right-Wing 'Kangaroo Courts' Already Convicted Hillary

Appearing as a guest on Friday's New Day, the morning after declaring that Republicans are "detached from rational" thought on Hillary Clinton, CNN political commentator Errol Louis continued inoculating Clinton from charges of malfeasance in the email scandal as he charged that, "in the kangaroo courts of right-wing talk radio, for Donald Trump, for the Republican party," a clean report from the…

NYT: New Muslim Mayor of London Triumph Over Far-Right 'Islamophobia'

The New York Times' ongoing all-front war on “Islamophobia” raged on in coverage of the election of Labour candidate Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim mayor of London. Stephen Castle led hard with it in his Saturday story, which made the front page under a headline quoting the new liberal himself as making a grand triumph over hate: “Electing Their First Muslim Mayor, Londoners Chose ‘Unity Over…

Campbell Brown: Curb Trump Campaign Coverage, Never for Obama

In two different articles over the last six months, former CNN and NBC anchor Campbell Brown offered a fair representation of some of the media handwringing about their responsibility for Donald Trump. They charged Trump is over-covered. But wait: did anyone see Campbell Brown complaining that the media gave too much attention to Barack Obama in 2008? I haven't been able to find any complaints.

Joy Reid's Kind of Republican Calls Trump a 'Fascist'

We made it a point to tune into Joy Reid's debut this morning in the MSNBC slot formerly occupied by Melissa Harris-Perry. For anyone who imagined Reid might be more fair-and-balanced than MH-P: fuggedaboutit. After an all-liberal opening panel blamed Bernie Sanders for failing to adequately address the concerns of African-Americans, the remainder of the show was one, long, hate-Trump fest. Mac…

Dishonest PBS Can't Describe How Obscene These Dirty Pictures Are

On Thursday’s PBS NewsHour, they devoted almost seven minutes to leftist porn-art icon Robert Mapplethorpe, about a month after the HBO documentary honoring him. The only difference? PBS censored all the most outrageous images, since it’s a broadcast network. (Not that they’d have to worry much about Obama’s FCC.) PBS correspondent Jeffrey Brown explained “Mapplethorpe was best known for his…

Get Ready for Hollywood to Declare War on Trump

Remember how Hollywood rallied around Barack Obama not once but twice to help him become president. That was nothing. A warm up. A practice run. Call it a dress rehearsal if you must. Sometime soon, maybe even over the next 24 hours, the entertainment community will unofficially declare war on presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
