MSNBC Producer Hails 'Refreshing' Casual Abortion Plot on 'Girls'

The inverted morality of the pro-abortion movement has surfaced again. At MSNBC.com, Ali Vitali, a producer of The Cycle, barely contains her inner fangirl as she squeals in delight over the HBO’s Girls for a “refreshing” take on a woman terminating her child’s life. “On TV and film, the decision for a woman to have an abortion is often fraught with remorse and tinged with regret, perpetuating…

Dennis Miller: Obama’s Sympathies ‘Lie with the Muslim World’

Dennis Miller doesn't think President Barack Obama was born in Kenya or that he's a Muslim. Still, the right-leaning comic and co-host of the new “PO’dcast” with Adam Carolla says the president’s sympathies lie with Muslims, not Jews or Christians.

Nets More Interested in Dresses Than IRS Scandal

On Friday evening, the Big Three networks continued their blackouts on the Thursday revelation that the Treasury Department's deputy inspector general, Timothy Camus, is conducting an "active investigation" into the "potential criminal activity" at the IRS over Lois Lerner's supposedly missing e-mails. Instead, ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News all devoted full…

AP Report on Wisconsin Right to Work Move Presents Union Side Only

A couple of thousand protesters have showed up to rail against the Wisconsin Legislature's move to pass right to work legislation this week. That number is far smaller than what was seen four years ago, when Badger State Governor Scott Walker championed Act 10, a budget repair bill which limited — but please note, contrary to frequent press assertions, did not eliminate — most public-sector…

New Republic Writer: The Next Reagan Might Be Obama

Well before Obama moved into the White House, he believed his presidency would have “the potential for shifting the national paradigm” to the left as Reagan’s moved it to the right, and Brian Beutler contends that such a shift still could happen if “the economy’s rapid growth in recent quarters” continues.

Pro-Obama Media Ignores Bill Maher Questioning Bushes' Religion Choice

While the liberal media insisted it was politically poisonous for Scott Walker to answer "I don't know" if President Obama is a Christian, it's never unacceptable to suggest Jeb and George W. Bush chose their brand of Christianity for political reasons. That's exactly what HBO star Bill Maher did in a blog post titled "Jeb Bush: Convenient Catholic?" Recall that Maher donated $1 million to…

Fiscal Times Falsely Claims Food Stamp Caseload Is Down 11 Percent

The Fiscal Times is a generally strong and informative online publication. That said, it has occasionally exhibits symptoms of what could be seen as either serious leftist bias, quite disappointing ignorance, or both. One such example arrived in my email box early this morning. It contained the following headline and opening tease for a story about the food stamp program:

Nets Not Interested in 'Potential Criminal Activity' in IRS Scandal

On Thursday night the IRS watchdog charged with investigating Lois Lerner’s missing emails told the House Oversight Committee that he is looking into the possibility of “potential criminal activity.” This latest development in the IRS-Tea Party scandal has yet to be reported on any of the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) evening or morning shows.

Frank Schaeffer Bores Again With I Was a Teenage Rightwinger Shtick

Frank Schaeffer has a worn shtick and no matter how many times he uses it, he never tires of wash, rinse, repeat over and over and over again. It goes like this: Once upon a time young Frank Schaeffer, son of well known evangelical parents, was a "vicious rightwinger." However, HALLELUJAH, he eventually saw the light and became a leftwing loon. It is a stale tale that Frank hangs on to like a…

NBC Devotes Nearly 4 Mins to Dress Debate, Secs to Clinton Corruption

On Friday, NBC finally noticed the corruption scandal swirling around Hillary Clinton. However, the coverage on the Today show was relegated to a 49-second mention within a story slamming Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. By contrast, the morning show devoted 3 minutes 56 seconds to a social media debate about the color of a dress.

Matthews: Amnesty Ruined by GOP Rubes Who 'Speak for the Whites'

Chris Matthews continues to be MSNBC’s unending source of enlightened commentary on race relations and Republican guilt. This time on Thursday’s edition of The Reid Report he suggested that conservative opposition to executive amnesty is rooted in southern racism and was sure to remind everyone that Republicans alone will be blamed if Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shuts down “because they…

Debate Over Dress Gets 3 Times More Air Than 'Net Neutrality'

The latest social media phenomenon to "break the Internet" was more important to the broadcast news networks than the federal decision to regulate the Internet which could cost taxpayers billions of dollars. The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) passed Internet regulations on Feb. 26, that reclassified the Internet as a public utility. In spite of the significance, the broadcast news…

Statist NY Times: We Must Urge People to Drink Water When Thirsty

New York Times nutrition writer Mark Bittman is making another display of his ultraliberal tendencies. In a piece on national nutrition guidelines that are at odds with the capitalist pigs of “Big Food,” Bittman offered this statist takeway: "It tells you to drink all the coffee you want...But far more important is this statement: 'Strategies are needed to encourage the U.S. population to drink…

Debate Over a Dress Color Gets 3X More Network Attention Than ‘Net N

Morning news shows especially obsess over Twitter’s “great dress debate” rather than explain FCC Internet regulations.
