New Yorker’s ‘Climate Change' Carols: ‘Silent Night’ Cannibalism
Oh look, our betters at the New Yorker have found a way to trivialize a Christian holiday while warning us what happens if we don’t convert to their environmental religion. And it’s supposed to be funny, too!
For the New Yorker’s Christmas issue (Dec. 22, 2014) contributor Ethan Kuperberg published his “Climate-Change Christmas Carols.” Using traditional Christmas songs, he changed the lyrics…

CBS: Americans 'Divided' Over CIA Interrogations; Only 36% Oppose
On Monday's CBS This Morning, co-host Gayle King claimed that Americans were "divided" over the CIA's use of enhanced interrogation techniques after September 11th.

CBS: Voter ID Laws Are Like Violent Attacks on Blacks at Selma
The journalists at CBS This Morning compared the violent, bloody attacks on African Americans during civil rights marches in 1965 to voter ID laws passed by various states in the last few years. Co-anchor Norah O'Donnell talked to Oprah Winfrey, producer of the new film Selma and the movie's star. O'Donnell marveled, "...Given the Voting Rights Act, 1965, I went back and looked. Thirteen states…

So-Called WashPost 'Conservative' Blogger Shreds Ted Cruz
The most dishonest advertising in The Washington Post isn’t selling soap or shoes or automobiles. It doesn’t come phonier than this: “Jennifer Rubin writes the Right Turn blog for The Post, offering reported opinion from a conservative perspective.”
Rubin spent 2012 insisting that every conservative presidential contender was unelectable except Mitt Romney, who was neither conservative nor…

Barbara Walters To David Koch: People Call You ‘An Evil Billionaire’
On Sunday night, ABC’s Barbara Walters hosted her annual 10 Most Fascinating People program which featured billionaire businessman and conservative donor David Koch as one of the “most fascinating people of 2014.” A preview of the interview aired during Sunday morning’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos portraying Koch as “one of the biggest Republican donors, a reclusive billionaire, David…

MRC's Notable Quotables: Are We 'Morally' No Better than Our Enemies?
This week, journalists seize on a partisan Senate Democratic report to scold the CIA for its conduct of the War on Terror during the Bush era, but deny there's any news value in Jonathan Gruber's admission that ObamaCare was sold using duplicitous tactics, calling it a "nothing burger."

WashPost Blogger Cites 'The Full Demise of Rolling Stone's Rape Story'
Washington Post media blogger Erik Wemple penned an obituary of sorts on Friday for “the full demise of Rolling Stone’s rape story,” based on the latest discovery from the Post that the man that Jackie (the story’s accuser) cited as her date that night appears to be a student at the University of Virginia.
"It all raises a mind-boggling possibility: that [reporter Sabrina] Erdely made an…

Corrected NYT Story on Sat. Marches Ignores 'We Want Dead Cops' Chants
It's a good thing that establishment press publications like the New York Times have those layers of editors and fact-checkers. They're able to prevent embarrassing things like misstatements of commonly known facts, misidentifications of key parties involved in recent events, and misspellings those sloppy bloggers and new media types routinely publish.
Oh, wait a minute. All three types of…

NYT Mag Fawned Over Doonesbury Creator, Got Testy With Rep. Steve King
Two recent Q&A sessions by New York Times reporter Jim Rutenberg for the paper's Sunday magazine made for a convenient encapsulation of the paper's liberal double standards, with challenging, testy questions thrown at conservative Iowa Rep. Steve King in this Sunday's edition, versus a sympathetic, almost fawning session with lefty "Doonesbury" cartoonist Gerry Trudeau last month.

Meet Univision’s Progressive Soul: Fernando Espuelas
Jorge Ramos casts a large shadow over Univision’s news operations, and is still held in high regard as a journalist among his peers and the audience he serves, notwithstanding recent exhortations to colleagues to drop the pretense of neutrality. Univision’s nationally syndicated radio operation - on the other hand - is dominated by a fiery leftist demagogue with no journalistic pretense, and no…

Lefty Professor: Colbert Reclaimed Patriotism For Liberals
Penn State’s Sophia McClennen praises Colbert for “remind[ing] us that you could care about your nation and simultaneously find American exceptionalism disturbing” and comments that conservatives have “controlled the idea of patriotism for so long that it is easy to forget that there is no logical reason to think that Rachel Maddow loves her country any less than Glenn Beck.”

Tiny Walker Gaffe: Wished Jewish Lawyer 'Molotov,' Not 'Mazel Tov'
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has presidential aspirations, so the liberal media will reliably leap on any tiny gaffe that liberals can locate. The liberal group One Wisconsin Now found one among undated letters that district attorneys dug up from his tenure as Milwaukee County Executive. M.D. Kittle at Watchdog.org explained:
The mainstream media’s next Walkergate, is an undated letter,…

Reagan Biographer: RFK Got Reagan Fired From General Electric Theater
Americans owe the Kennedys, more specifically the late Robert F. Kennedy, a huge debt of gratitude. Without him, we might never have gotten President Ronald Reagan.
This was hardly Kennedy's intention, however, when he unscrupulously threatened to cancel government contracts with General Electric unless the company fired the popular host of its Sunday evening television show, "General Electric…
