The American food stamps program has experienced “unprecedented” and “unsustainable” growth under President Barack Obama according to experts, but the broadcast news media have virtually ignored this bad news this election year. The three broadcast networks would rather not remind voters that a record number of Americans received food stamps under the Obama presidency, or that more than 46…

New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman recently opined on ''Vietnam's Lessons in Iraq and Syria." Here's the problem--his Lessons from Vietnam are either learned from communist/leftist propaganda, or he simply invented the “lessons” to support his pontification on current day Iraq and Syria. The Vietnam War is not the mysterious, misunderstood, unfathomable mess the left would have you believe.

Considering that ABC's World News failed to cover the midterm elections from September 1 to October 26, one might think the network isn't interested in a possible Republican wave. ABC journalists reinforced that belief by promoting their election night coverage: Seven hours of coverage. But six of those hours will be online only. 

“Saturday Night Live” has long skirted the boundary of what is comedy and what is inappropriate, controversial and just downright not funny. Such was the case Nov. 1 when Chris Rock used the re-opening of the Freedom Tower and the Boston Marathon as the platform for his opening monologue, and drew a harsh rebuke from a 9-11 victim’s family member on Monday’s “Fox and Friends."

While all three network morning shows on Monday covered the upcoming midterm election, only ABC's Good Morning America mentioned the real possibility of Republicans taking control of the Senate. Co-host George Stephanopoulos informed viewers: "And Republicans seem to be closing in on the six Senate seats they need to gain a majority....The forecaster Nate Silver, from FiveThirtyEight, puts their…

On Monday, CBS This Morning followed in the footsteps of ABC and NBC by hyping a new United Nations report on climate change. Unlike the other two networks that offered only news briefs during their Sunday broadcasts, CBS gave a full 2 minutes and 37 seconds of promotional coverage to the U.N. report on Monday morning. Co-host Charlie Rose began the segment by proclaiming “scientists are heating…

During a Morning Joe appearance late last month, Chuck Todd, as we reported, described the congressional race on Staten Island as a "fight between mob families." Not a great idea for a guy who not long before saw his comment that Alison Lundergan Grimes had "disqualified herself" made into a Mitch McConnell ad. Back on the show this morning, Todd offered an unqualified apology for his "mob…

Washington Post reporter Hunter Schwarz threw a major embarrassment at the liberal group Rock the Vote – just by checking the facts. A pile of the celebrities who appeared in their “Turn Out For What” PSA did not vote in the 2010 midterm elections.

This week, CBS's Norah O'Donnell invites ultra-left Senator Elizabeth Warren to explain "what's going to happen if Republicans take control," even as the ultra-partisan Chris Matthews sneers: "What's worse, [North Carolina GOP Senate candidate] Thom Tillis or Ebola?"

Both CNN's Reliable Sources and Fox's Mediabuzz on Sunday recounted the Media Research Center's study on the dramatic difference in the amount of midterms election coverage between 2006 and 2014 on ABC, CBS, and NBC.  CNN host Brian Stelter introduced an interview with retired Sen. Alan Simpson by noting:

C'mon man! That's no way for a plucky VP like you to talk just two days before the elections!  As a loyal member of the DNC email list, last night I received a message from Joe Biden that sounded decidedly down in the mouth; frankly fatalistic. Here's how Good Ol' Joe opened [emphasis added]: "No matter what happens on Tuesday, I'm proud of you, Mark."  "No matter what happens?" Not exactly a…

Doug Schorpp at the Quad City Times had a really bad day yesterday. The sad thing is that he still probably doesn't even know it. His report (HT Gateway Pundit) on Michelle Obama's visit to Moline, Illinois had two whoppers. One of them was spoken by Mrs. Obama, while the other error was completely unforced. They have been present at the paper's web site since Saturday at 6 p.m., humiliating…

The Washington Monthly’s D.R. Tucker rages that ten years ago, “George W. Bush, in essence, knocked down the towers of democracy,” and that “the right-wing interests that supported the Bush-Cheney administration still have an iron grip on our politics and media entities.”

In the October 13 edition of Time, they asked radical-left black professor Cornel West if he voted for Obama in 2012, and he said he couldn’t vote for a “war criminal.” NPR promoted this radical leftist on Saturday morning’s Weekend Edition, but in six minutes and 22 seconds, never mentioned the president or the 2014 elections. This syrupy interview promoting West’s book Black Prophetic Fire…
