Liberal journalists and pundits were losing control over the Murdoch family buying another prestigious media property, this time the National Geographic brand. "A climate change denier with now even more power and influence over science grants in the United States." Murdoch says he's a skeptic, not a "denier."

On Saturday, Britain’s Labour Party nominated a hard-left liberal to lead their party, a man who called bin Osama bin Laden’s death a “tragedy.” Yet, although the New York Times acknowledged Jeremy Corbyn’s liberalism, nowhere in writer Stephen Castle’s article was any mention of his comments about bin Laden, nor was there discussion of his virulently anti-Israel positions.

To Steve Benen, Obamacare is a high-quality dress shirt that Republicans treat like a greasy rag. Benen, a producer for MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, wrote in a Friday post on the TRMS blog that even though “every GOP prediction about the Affordable Care Act has been discredited,” conservatives keep trying to use it to tarnish other measures they oppose, including the Iran nuclear deal. “If…

Washington Post media blogger Erik Wemple and his website handlers tried this clickbait headline on Friday: “We nominate Rachel Maddow for CEO, Republican presidential debates.” Why? Wemple is impressed that Maddow is now trashing CNN like she trashed Fox for how they selected the tiers of Republican debaters, specifically CNN now adding in Carly Fiorina (and Chris Christie) for an eleven-…

Donald Trump and his "reflection" appeared on the Tonight Show last night and it was huge. I mean...YUUUUUUGE! A comedy gold skit in which Jimmy Fallon imitating Donald Trump interviewed his "reflection," the real Donald Trump, in a dressing room mirror. The skit was notable not only for the laugh lines but for the fact that Trump was able to laugh at himself.  As we shall see, this hilarious…

Veteran journalist Jeff Greenfield joined host Lawrence O’Donnell on Thursday’s edition of MSNBC’s The Last Word for some old-fashioned liberal punditry and expressed hope that the growing support for socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders could signal the “healthy” birth of “a socialist wing of the Democratic Party...that Europeans would recognize as a left wing.”

The Daily Beast’s Asawin Suebsaeng showed an inordinate amount of favor for his fellow liberals in 80’s rock band R.E.M. when they told Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz to “Go F**k Themselves” In fact, Suebsaeng’s first line in his not so objective article is “Memo to Donald Trump and Ted Cruz: Don’t f**k around with R.E.M.’s songs at your rallies.”

As a player, Ray Lewis was extremely well known for delivering jarring shots that immediately stopped the forward movement of opposing players. As a media member, now he’s taking shots at the very core of opposition movements.

MSNBC passionately kept pushing the line on Thursday that moving to defund Planned Parenthood would be a debacle for Republicans On Andrea Mitchell Live, Mitchell toed that line not once, but twice. Krystal Ball touched that line on Live with Thomas Roberts, and then Rachel Maddow brought the same argument into prime time.

ABC, CBS, and NBC's Friday evening newscasts all barely mentioned former Texas Governor Rick Perry suspending his second bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Altogether, ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News set aside 54 seconds to Perry's announcement. By contrast, the Big Three news programs devoted 6 minutes and 11 seconds to Vice President Joe Biden's…

"Never forget"? Sometimes one wonders if they even remember — or want to. Both the New York and National versions of the New York Times print edition contain no mention of the anniversary of the terrorist attacks 14 years ago in New York and Washington which brought down the World Trade Center buildings, seriously damaged the Pentagon, and killed almost 3,000 people in four different locations:…

A few months ago, I took some flack in these quarters for suggesting that, his annoying liberalism aside, Chris Matthews is in his heart an American patriot. That same patriotic proclivity displayed itself tonight. On the anniversary of 9-11, Matthews profusely praised his guest Rudy Giuliani for his leadership on that day.  And in a spontaneous aside, Matthews called RFK's assassin, the…

During a segment on MSNBC’s The Last Word late Thursday, all three liberal panelists spouted off on the ability of the Soviet Union to follow treaties (in context of the Iran deal), comparing the Iran nuclear agreement to Richard Nixon’s China visit, and lamenting the “partisan...political climate” Republicans have caused the deal to be implemented under. 

If the media won’t tell the truth, the people will – by turning to social media, according to speakers at a pro-life rally on Capitol Hill. On Thursday, pro-life leaders called upon Congress to defund Planned Parenthood in the upcoming budget. Students for Life organized the “Women Betrayed” rally, held in light of the recent videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s harvesting of aborted baby parts…
