MRC's Bozell Contrasts Media's Love for Hillary with Disdain for GOP

"Scary, dangerous, slimy, firebrand, extremist, hardline, stupid, [and] uppity loudmouth" were adjectives used to blast Sen. Ted Cruz when he announced for president. By contrast, the liberal media were absolutely "giddy" at Hillary's Sunday announcement, Media Research Center president Brent Bozell noted on today's Your World with Neil Cavuto. Because Republicans are never going to count the…

Amanda Marcotte: Voters Would ‘Swoon’ Over ‘Ass-Kicking Hillary’

Hillary Clinton is not the incumbent president, but otherwise is in a similar position to Barack Obama’s in the spring of 2011: she’s already next year’s presumptive Democratic nominee but has, at best, an educated guess as to who her Republican opponent will be. In the meantime, recommended lefty pundit Marcotte in a Monday piece for Talking Points Memo, Hillary should decide to run as a “bitch…

NYT Has No Lib Label for Hillary, But on Cruz Launch: A 'Demagogue'

When Ted Cruz announced his bid for the presidency, the New York Times derided him as a "demagogue" and a "flamethrower" in an online article.

Ripping Rubio: The Media’s Worst Attacks on the Florida Senator

Not long after he arrived on the national scene in 2010 Republican Senator and forthcoming presidential candidate Marco Rubio was exploited by the liberal media as a way to depict Republicans as anti-immigrant. Anchors like ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Rose portrayed him as a token Latino in the GOP. MSNBC’s Donny Deutsch actually hurled a racial slur against Rubio, calling him a “…

NY Times Editorial Melts Down Over GOP's 'Racist' 'Insurrection'

On Saturday evening (published in print on Sunday), the editorial board at the New York Times had an epic meltdown over the Republican Party's allegedly shabby treatment of President Barack Obama.

ABC Touts Hillary in a 'Commanding Position' for Launch

Despite devoting three segments to Hillary Clinton's 2016 launch, the journalists of Good Morning America on Monday totally avoided any mention of the Democrat's scandal involving deleted e-mails.

AP's Pace: Hillary Hesitated on Run Because of Friendship with Biden

As we would cynically say back in the good old days in Queens [insert NYC accent]: yeah, right.  On today's Morning Joe, Associated Press White House correspondent Julie Pace claimed that one thing that made Hillary hesitate in deciding to run for president was that she "worried that her candidacy would block out Joe Biden who is quite a close friend of hers."  When Joe Scarborough expressed…
