CNN Acclaims, Defends Jenner's ESPY: 'Why Wouldn't It Qualify?'

Thursday's New Day on CNN played up how Bruce "Caitlyn" Jenner received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award from ESPN. Alisyn Camerota underlined that "it's an interesting moment in history. I think that it can't be underscored how important it is for that [transgender] community." Chris Cuomo spotlighted how Jenner used his acceptance speech "to call for tolerance, and to quiet critics." Cuomo also…

Fox News Signs Liberal Meghan McCain as Contributor

Not all pseudo-Republican women are out of a pundit’s job this week. Shortly after it reported Nicolle Wallace was being cut by The View, Variety reported Fox News Channel is picking up Meghan McCain as a contributor. That certainly doesn’t add a conservative voice to the allegedly unanimous channel...and it doesn't add intellectual heft to the often-dissed Fox blondes. Brian Steinberg said…

Iran Nuke Deal: Israel PM Urges Watching Beginning of 'The Dictator'

Did it seem to you as if the Iranian negotiators and leaders were laughing at the naiveté of the Obama administration in accepting their claim that they only wanted to develop nuclear energy for just peaceful purposes? Well, that barely surpressed laughter was foretold in 2012 in the prophetic opening scene of "The Dictator" as the main character had great difficulty maintaining a straight face…

Dems Defending Planned Parenthood Got $43K from Abortion Giant

The media are leaving out one critical detail about the Democrats defending Planned Parenthood’s actions. For The Hill, staff writer Sarah Ferris wrote “Several Dems defend Planned Parenthood.” In it, she quoted “several House Democrats” defending Planned Parenthood after an undercover video appeared to show an executive reveal how clinics procure and sell aborted babies’ body parts.

CBS and NBC Skip ObamaCare Fraud; ABC Allows 17 Seconds

CBS and NBC on Thursday skipped the revelation that ObamaCare is particularly vulnerable to scams. Only ABC's Good Morning America covered the Government Accountability Office's fraud investigation and the two-hour show only allowed a scant 17 seconds on the topic. GMA news reader Paula Faris quickly revealed that "ObamaCare is facing new scrutiny today on Capitol Hill... after a sting operation…

ABC Axes Wallace From 'The View' for...'Not Offering Enough Dissent'?

The Hollywood trade paper Variety reported that ABC axed Nicolle Wallace from “The View” when this season is over.

Bush was selected as the resident Republican on the show in September, but underwhelmed ABC…

Cruz on Iran: Obama ‘Popping Champagne’ While Ignoring Christians

It’s one thing that Ted Cruz and one mainstream reporter can agree on: President Obama’s Iran nuke deal needs more pushback and less celebration. That’s not something the liberal media is going to give him, though. The networks have lauded the “history-making deal” and Obama’s “spirited defense” of it. CBS News reporter Major Garrett bucked the trend at a press conference yesterday where he …

NY Times Ignores Hillary's $18.7 Million in Second-Quarter Spending

Nicholas Confessore and Maggie Haberman at the New York Times studiously avoided talking about Hillary Clinton's campaign spending in their front-page print edition story Thursday ("Hillary Clinton Lags in Engaging Grass-Roots Donors"). Mrs. Clinton hauled in $48.7 million, but she spent a stunning $18.7 million. As seen in a table accompanying the Times story, that's more than triple that of…
