CBS and NBC Skip Police Investigating Comments By Brown's Stepfather
Major broadcast networks CBS and NBC failed to cover the news that police in Missouri are looking into inflammatory comments made by Michael Brown’s stepfather in the aftermath of a grand jury’s announcement on November 24 that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson will not be charged in connection to Brown’s death. Following the announcement of the decision, Louis Head stood surrounded by his…
Lefty Writer John Judis: Ferguson Grand Jury ‘Did the Right Thing’

Hardball's Matthews Thrilled Over Prospect of Jeb Bush 2016 Candidacy?
If you plan on running for president as a Republican in 2016, it's safe to say that Chris Matthews is not exactly an endorsement you'd covet.

Poll: Ferguson Grand Jury Decision More Popular Than President Obama
Now that the tumult over the decision by the grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, not to indict police officer Darren Wilson for the death of black 18-year-old Michael Brown has begun to subside, the Washington Post and ABC News commissioned a poll to determine what people across the country think about the choice, and the survey resulted in some surprising numbers.

Ashleigh Banfield 'Shocked' Witnesses Backed Up Darren Wilson
Amid all the events in the wake of the release of the grand jury findings in Ferguson, a brief moment of unusual mental clarity on the part of a liberal reporter has been overlooked.

While Media Obsesses Over GOP Aide, Dems Sell Hate, Authoritarianism
Yesterday, I received an email from the Democratic National Committee informing me that they had a "Cyber Monday surprise" just for me.
How nice. All I had to do was click on the link to store.democrats.org. After the jump, readers will see the store's apparent "best sellers," raising a quite obvious question: Does anyone think the press would ignore analogous items on sale in a GOP store?
Limbaugh: White House Touts Classroom Memorials to Michael Brown
Many liberals are skeptical of religion and outright antagonistic toward people of faith, which makes the left's penchant for elevating their version of patron saints all the more peculiar.
Latest example of leftist canonization -- Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man who was shot to death in Ferguson, Mo., in August after he robbed a convenience store, assaulted a cop, tried to wrest…
CNN's Lemon Wonders If 'Hands Up, Don't Shoot' is A 'False Narrative'
On Monday's CNN Tonight, Don Lemon refreshingly pointed out a problematic component of the Ferguson protests. Former police officer David Klinger pointed out that "all the forensic evidence indicates that it wasn't [Michael] Brown with his hands up standing still. All the evidence indicates that he was coming back at Officer Wilson." Lemon replied to his guest by wondering, "So the question is,…
Earnest: Obama Spoke 'Colloquially' in Immigration Remark

Andrea Mitchell Allows Ferguson Protester to Bash Police Unchallenged
On her 12 p.m. ET hour MSNBC show on Tuesday, host Andrea Mitchell invited on Ferguson protester Rasheen Aldridge, whom she praised for having "made such an impact" and getting the attention of the Obama White House.

AlterNet: Cruz Courts ‘Pro-Israel Extremists,’ But Liberal Donors OK
Liberal politicians often get a free pass from the media when they receive millions in support from billionaire activists like Tom Steyer. But when Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, associates with pro-Israel donors and activists, liberal bloggers call this a "political nightmare."
AlterNet criticized Cruz in an article December 1 for being overly pro-Israel. Cruz was reportedly "courting" conservative…
Bozell Slams Networks for Covering Lauten Twice as Much as Gruber
Earlier today, Media Research Center (MRC) founder and president Brent Bozell reacted to a study just released by the MRC revealing that the big three broadcast networks -- ABC, CBS, and NBC -- have covered unknown Capitol Hill staffer Elizabeth Lauten’s Facebook post – about how President Obama’s daughters looked and acted at an official event – almost twice as much as ObamaCare architect…
Liberal 'Malcontent' Rosie O'Donnell to Exit 'The View' Soon?
