ABC Drama Exposes Hamas Using Civilians as Human Shields (FINALLY!)

BOOM! Hollywood just dropped some truth about Hamas’ tactic of trying to get as many Palestinian civilians killed as they can for propaganda purposes in its war against Israel! On the 10th episode of ABC’s Quantico, Nimah Anwar, a Lebanese Muslim, attempts to impugn the integrity of Simon Asher, an American Jew, by revealing the truth about his relationship with Israel - and fails miserably.

CNN Political Panelists Praise Obama While Foreign Experts Pan Speech

Following President Obama’s Sunday night address, the always large post-event panel on CNN had plenty to say, but it was quite the disconnect as many of their political commentators hailed the “straightforward” speech by the President while two of their foreign policy analysts panned the President’s “self-congratulation” and having “his head...in the clouds if he thinks this current strategy is…

AP Offers Predictably Uncritical Coverage of Obama's Sunday Speech

At the Associated Press Sunday evening, White House Correspondent Julie Pace's coverage of President Obama's Oval Office address was predictably weak. One could cite at least a half-dozen problems with Pace's story, but two of them were particularly disingenuous.

Zakaria: US Goes to War Against the 'Other,' But Won't Register Guns

Appearing as a guest on Saturday's CNN Newsroom with Poppy Harlow, CNN's Fareed Zakaria complained that Americans are willing to "invade two countries, spend hundreds of billions of dollars" to fight terrorism from "some threatening 'other'" who "looks, feels, sounds different," but "we won't ask for gun registration, we won't ask for background checks, we won't ask for simple, common sense stuff…

PBS's Ifill: GOPers Compete to Be 'Alarmist' After Terrorist Attacks

Appearing as a panel member on CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday, PBS host Gwen Ifill made a negative characterization of GOP presidential candidates' reactions to recent terrorist attacks as she declared that, "For Republicans, it's going to be a variation of what we've seen so far, which is, 'How can we be more alarmist than the last guy?'" She then moved to take jabs at GOPers Chris Christie…

Trump Spokeswoman Stumps 'Reliable Sources' Brian Stelter on MSM Bias

The original title I thought of for this story used the word "Schools" but considering the total beatdown Donald Trump spokewoman Katrina Pierson methodically administered to Brian Stelter of CNN's Reliable Sources, "Stumps" seems much more appropriate. Perhaps even "Stomps" could have been used but watch the video below and judge for yourself. Rarely has a representative of the mainstream media…

ABC, PBS Extol ‘Stern & Direct’ Obama Speech; ‘Struck’ by Pledge on IS

While NBC’s Lester Holt was wondering before President Obama’s speech Sunday night if it would “be a defining moment for this presidency,” his counterparts on ABC and PBS picked up where he left off afterward by enthusiastically praising how “struck” they were by “a stern and direct” Obama “laying out" what Obama called "a strong and smart strategy” to deal with terrorism.

Engel on Obama Speech: 'Same Strategy That Hasn't Been Working'

Maybe you're a liberal, reluctant to accept Charles Krauthammer's conclusion that President Obama's speech on terror tonight was a "complete failure." Fine. But there's no getting around Richard Engel, whom no one would accuse of conservatism. Speaking with Chris Matthews on MSNBC, the bleak assessment of NBC's chief foreign correspondent was that President Obama laid out "the same strategy that…

Hartmann: Food Stamps Among 'Best Ways' to Stimulate Economy

You're Definitely A Liberal When ... Assertion #7,546 -- You claim with a straight face that taxpayer-funded food stamps are wondrously stimulative for the economy.  It's been so long since this one crossed my path that I'd begun to believe it was too delusional even for the left.  But sure enough there it was, making its inevitable reappeance on Thom Hartmann's radio show last week. Perhaps…

Tennis Star Jennifer Capriati Denounces Obama Before Anti-Gun Address

There’s an extra special awesome that occurs when famous athletes publicly denounce the icons of the left. Probably because it almost never happens. However, on Sunday, in advance of Obama’s upcoming attack on our enumerated rights, it happened.

Even Politifact Criticized New 'Definition' of 'Mass Shooting' in Oct.

As shown early this morning, the press's redefinition of the term "mass shooting" has turned into a nearly omnipresent meme virtually overnight in the wake of Wednesday's Islamic terrorist massacre in San Bernardino, California. Under the new, demonstrably indefensible definition which not only breaks with past practice but also pretends it never existed, there have been 355 "mass shootings" so…

Tanden Suggests Obama Use Speech to Denounce GOP on Muslims

Center for American Progress (CAP) President Neera Tanden joined CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday morning as part of the panel and encouraged President Obama to use part of his Oval Office speech later in the day to denounce Republicans for their “continual language....to target Muslims” which she argued the GOP’s so-called Islamophobia “is exactly what ISIS wants.”
