In two separate segments on his May 13 Hardball program,  MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews blamed "turns" on the Amtrak passenger rail route for Tuesday night's train crash. Matthews lamented that Amtrak rights-of-way must respect private property and that it's so much more difficult in the United States than say China for the government to muscle its way into providing as straight a shot as possible…

During a segment called “Democalypse 2016" on Tuesday night's edition of The Daily Show, host Jon Stewart hammered former Florida governor and likely Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush for supporting the decision made by former GOP president George W. Bush -- his older brother -- to invade Iraq “even knowing what we know now.” “Long term, mentioning his brother's name is like wearing an…

Liberal MSNBC co-host Mika Brzezinski on Wednesday bemoaned the "moat" around Hillary Clinton and the difficulty to get the Democrat to answer questions. Appearing on The View, Brzezinski blamed others for Clinton's silence: "She's capable of answering the questions. Get out of her way. Bill, get out of her way. Staff, get out of her way. Let the woman talk." 

Republican Congressmen are so wedded to slashing federal infrastructure spending that they don't care that their own staffers are riding around on unsafe Metrorail subway cars. That, essentially, was the charge that MSNBC's Luke Russert made at the close of a segment on Now with Alex Wagner devoted to bashing Republicans for proposed cuts to Amtrak and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit…

Yesterday, it was reported that George Zimmerman was injured in another road rage incident. Reports showed he was shot at by the same driver with whom he had an incident with in 2014. As of last night, a confirmed account of who was to blame hadn’t been established but the fact that Zimmerman had a bullet aimed at his head was confirmed. Instead of waiting to hear more, The Nightly Show with…

This past Sunday,  John Oliver thrilled liberals again with his HBO show Last Week Tonight when he decided to politicize Mother’s Day as another way to bring up the “war on women.” There’s a reason he doesn’t say he’s a “journalist.” He’s a televised activist. He "slams Mother's Day hypocrisy," oozed the Daily Beast. This was his topic sentence: “You can’t go on and on about how much you support…

In what would traditionally be considered a gaffe, Barack Obama on Tuesday attacked those who send their children to private schools and play at "private clubs." (The President does both.) ABC, CBS and NBC avoided Obama's questionable comments, despite eight hours of available air time. In a speech, Obama derided, "Kids start going to private schools. Kids start working out at private clubs…

At least six people died and many more were injured in a terrible Amtrak accident on the night of May 12, and before the cause had been discovered, multiple cable news networks used the tragedy to make a political point. Programming on CNN, CNBC and MSNBC all used the accident to claim the government needed to spent more on infrastructure all before National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)…

It's official. 2014 was the hottest year ever recorded! Oops! Never mind. It turned out upon closer investigation that NASA scientists admitted that there was only a 38% chance that was true. Perhaps Vox should have peered just a few months into the future to see their own article written by Julia Belluz and Steven Hoffman which stated that "Science is often flawed. It's time we embraced that."…

A University of Virginia dean took action Tuesday against Rolling Stone’s now-infamous gang-rape story for its “false” and dishonorable statements. It’s a serious claim considering UVA is all about honor – for every test, a UVA student is required to write the honor code up top. (Full disclosure: I’m an alumna.)  In response to the Rolling Stone Nov. 2014 article entitled A Rape on Campus: A…

Liberal journalist Jorge Ramos interviewed HBO’s John Oliver for his Fusion TV program America with Jorge Ramos on Tuesday night and eagerly praised the liberal comedian for having “more credibility than reporters.” 

Without any evidence of what caused the crash of an Amtrak train in Philadelphia Tuesday night, all three network morning shows on Wednesday had no hesitation in suggesting a lack of government infrastructure spending was to blame. NBC's Guthrie:  "And another issue people have raised is that because this is such a heavily traveled section of track that there are also infrastructure issues....Is…

ABC and NBC on Wednesday promoted the campaign to remove Andrew Jackson from the $20 and replace him with a woman. Just like when CBS pushed the concept in March and April, Good Morning America and Today didn't mention that the majority of the candidates suggested by the group Womenon20s.org were either prominent Democratic or liberal activists.
