Even Mother Jones Spurns Stat of 355 Mass Shootings This Year; It's 4

At the Washington Post's Wonkblog on Wednesday, Christopher Ingraham claimed that the San Bernardino massacre, which we now know was an act of Islamic terrorism, was the "355th" mass shooting "this year." A Google search on "355th mass shooting this year" (not in quotes) indicates that the stat has become a media meme, repeated at places like the Today Show, PBS, NPR, NBCnews.com, and too many…

CNN Guest Andy Parker Accuses GOPers of Treason, Aiding Terrorists

On Friday's CNN Newsroom, CNN host Carol Costello gave gun control activist Andy Parker his latest forum to aim over the top vitriol at opponents of gun control as he asserted that two Republican congressmen were behaving in a "treasonous" manner and are "aiding and abetting terrorists" by blocking new gun laws. Costello only mildly pushed back against Parker's incendiary statements, which…

Nets Cheer 'Historic' NYT Gun Control Editorial; ‘Dramatic’ Front-Page

On Saturday, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC continued to prove why the liberal media loves congratulating itself for their so-called accomplishments as the morning and evening newscasts spent nearly four minutes (without teases) cheering the “historic” decision by The New York Times to publish a “dramatic” front-page editorial chiding gun rights advocates and pushing for massive…

Evading Radical Islam at The New Yorker and the NY Daily News

One has contempt for Christians. And both think the Jihadist attack in San Bernadino by an Islamic couple is the fault of the NRA. And oh yes, one also thinks the problem in San Bernadino is Mr. and Mrs. Joe Doaks America and their shopping tastes in guns. Really. What gutless cowards at the New York Daily News and The New Yorker.

WashPost Book Editor Ron Charles: 'Prejudice Has So Poisoned the West'

On Wednesday, Washington Post book editor Ron Charles raved over a French novel called The Age of Reinvention. The headline on the front of the Style section was “A French tale of Islamophobia and deception that feels eerily timely.” Charles explained “it has taken more than two years for Karine Tuil’s sensational tale of Islamophobia to drift across the Atlantic. Now, though, in a horrific…

CNN's King Whitewashes Clinton Rape Charge Re: Question to Hillary

On Friday's New Day, when co-host Alisyn Camerota brought up Hillary Clinton being asked a question about her husband's history of forcible rape and other sexual assaults, CNN's John King whitewashed the accusations against former President Bill Clinton as he only vaguely recounted the behavior, and even ended up lamenting that the question must have been a "sad trip" and "not a pleasant trip…

President Obama showed solidarity with the nation’s No. 1 abortion provider this weekend by expressing that America is “a people who stand up for the rights of women to make their own decisions about their health,” according to a statement that never once mentioned "abortion."

USA Today sports columnist Martin Rogers tweeted this on San Bernardino: “Several distressed locals praying emotionally on corner of S Waterman + Orange Show, just a block from the scene of shootings.” He was surprised at the response from openly gay ex-NBA center John Amaechi: “This is infuriating & so obviously narcissistic (not to mention contrary to teachings of Jesus re: public prayer…

Harris-Perry Perturbed NYT Showed Malik in Hijab

They would have used a photo of her in an NRA cap, but none was available . . . Man, it's getting hard to navigate the nuanced shoals of political correctness. Now, even the ineffably sensitive New York Times has run afoul of the rules, as propounded by Melissa Harris-Perry. On her MSNBC show today, Harris-Perry griped that the Gray Lady had run a photo of Islamic terrorist killer Tafsheen Malik…

Salon Ridiculed Kelly, Guest For Predicting U.S. Terror Attack

On November 18, Scott Eric Kaufman, an assistant editor at Salon, clearly thought that he had identified easy objects for ridicule in Megyn Kelly and former radical Muslim fundamentalist Morten Storm.

After Terror, NYT Changes Subject to Guns in PR-Stunt Page 1 Editorial

After the massacre by radical Islamists who killed 14 and wounded 21 more in San Bernardino, Calif., the New York Times took its tasteless grandstanding on gun control literally to the front, in a rare front-page editorial, "The Gun Epidemic" calling for bans on civilian ownership for certain types of rifles and ammunition. After joining the New York Daily News' anti-prayer brigade, the publicity…

Bozell & Graham Column: The 'God Isn't Fixing This' Liberal Media

The first wave of analysis after the mass shooting in San Bernardino suggested that this could be a right-wing militia or anti-government conspiracy. This is the default position of the anti-conservative press: unless shown otherwise, it was one of those right-wingers. Then they named the suspects, Syed Farooq and his wife Tashfeen Malik. Remote controls were surely tossed across America when…

NBC, CBS Promote NY Daily News's 'Terrorist' Smear of the NRA's CEO

Friday's NBC Nightly News and CBS Evening News both spotlighted the New York Daily News's latest anti-conservative front page, which denigrated Wayne LaPierre of the NRA as a "terrorist."
