Here's what should be an easy question: With data which has already been seasonally adjusted, what's more important — a) the fact that an index is a) up by 3 percent in the past year or b) the fact that it has fallen 5 percent in the past four months? The correct answer is obviously b) — unless you're a writer for the Associated Press whose mission is to convince readers that the housing market…

Comedian Tim Allen is one of the few actors who has made no secret of his personal right of center beliefs, but what is even rarer is that he actually gets to voice his views through the character Mike Baxter on the ABC sitcom Last Man Standing.

Having sung the praises of Caitlyn Jenner and Laverne Cox for all they’ve done for the transgender community, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) certainly doesn’t sound thrilled about a new movie that stars actress Michelle Rodriguez playing the role of a “male to female” transgender hitman/hitwoman. As The Hollywood Reporter (THR) explains, Tomboy: A Revenger’s Tale, “…

Friday's NBC Nightly News set aside just 34 seconds of air time to the Republican National Committee suspending its planned February 2016 debate with NBC. The evening newscast surrounded this coverage with over two minutes of reporting on other 2016 presidential campaign developments, focusing on the spat between Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush. By contrast, ABC's World News Tonight and CBS Evening News…

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. And people who ridicule the level of others' speech patterns should check theirs first. CNBC didn't do that. Instead, on Thursday, as I noted in a previous NewsBusters post, it childishly rushed out a grade-level evaluation of the Republican presidential candidates' speech patterns during the first three debates, including the Wednesday train wreck…

The New York magazine writer-at-large and former New York Times columnist and theater critic says Jeb's problems included not only Dubya’s war in Iraq and pre-9/11 “national-security failures” but also the supposedly unsavory, extreme-right types that 41 and 43 attracted to the GOP, thereby contributing to its ruin.

CNN correspondent Suzanne Malveaux was shocked, SHOCKED that anybody could dare interrupt Hillary Clinton. In fact, Malveaux acted as if the Black Lives Matter protesters interrupting Hillary's speech in Atlanta today was a unique historical event that was completely unprecedented. You have to check out the video below to get full enjoyment of Malveaux's unintentional comedy performance as she…

On Friday evening, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC all ignored the latest dump of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails from the State Department that included the retroactive classification of 268 e-mails that now makes for one out of every 16 e-mails that have been “released” to the public since her private e-mail server scandal was unearthed in March.

A group of purported Catholic professors wrote an open letter on October 26, 2015 to "the editor of the New York Times" decrying a October 18 op-ed item about the Catholic Church by a conservative writer Ross Douthat. The letter, which was initially signed by 25 academics from Georgetown University, Villanova University, and other schools (the list has grown in subsequent days), claimed that…

Don Lemon, an African-American anchor on the Cable News Network, is the target of a new online petition on the change.org website, where “a man of God and a man of the people” is calling for CNN to “remove” the gay host from its line-up, accumulated almost 33,000 signatures in just three days. The new drive -- with a goal of 35,000 supporters -- was started on Tuesday, when black entertainer…

SooperMexican at The Right Scoop reported on something the media wanted to ignore: a young voter in New Hampshire hit Hillary Clinton with Benghazi, the e-mails, and...even Whitewater, that golden oldie from the S&L-90s. That's funny: Networks which love to obsess over a Trump questioner in New Hampshire talking about Muslims couldn't locate some "Clinton hater" millennial with a hardball:

Seemingly out of shame, CNBC has initially downplayed the breaking news that the Republican National Committee is punishing parent company NBC for Wednesday’s biased presidential debate. While MSNBC and CNN offered extensive commentary and analysis, CNBC allowed just a minute and eight seconds since the story broke around noon. 

In a letter to NBC News president Andrew Lack on Friday, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus informed the network “that pending further discussion between the Republican National Committee (RNC) and our presidential campaigns, we are suspending the partnership with NBC News for the Republican primary debate at the University of Houston on February 26, 2016.”

While much of the media ruled that Jeb Bush did not have a satisfactory debate performance on Wednesday, the sentiment stretched even into the late-night comedy shows as ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel panned the “embarrassing” Bush on Thursday for attacking Rubio on an issue “that literally no one outside of Florida cares about” concerning his Senate attendance record.
