MSNBC Equates 'Hardline' Cardinal's Demotion With Sex Abuser's Penalty
Alex Wagner was noticeably gleeful on her MSNBC program on Monday about Pope Francis reassigning Cardinal Raymond Burke from a prominent role at the Vatican to patron of the Knights of Malta.

The left-wing host later underlined that the pontiff "demoted hardline U.S. Cardinal Raymond…
ABC Paints Obama As Seeking 'To Rescue The Internet'
It’s always amusing that the leftist fans of “net neutrality” are the biggest backers of journalistic advocacy. ABC News actually carried this headline: “Net Neutrality: How President Obama Wants to Rescue the Internet.” ABC’s Alyssa Newcomb painted Obama as sympathizing with the anti-commercial protesters.
Man Finding Damning Gruber Vids Faults Press Failure to Uncover Them
David Weigel's writeup this afternoon at Bloomberg Politics ("Meet the Mild-Mannered Investment Advisor Who's Humiliating the Administration Over Obamacare") is about the guy who has found at least two incriminating videos of Jonathan Gruber revealing the true intentions behind the Affordable Care Act. In some respects, it's well done and interesting.
What's not well done is Bloomberg's choice…
Chevron Attacker Still the Hero in Rolling Stone Hit Job
Just as some in the press finally realized and admitted to serious ethical breaches in the legal crusade against Chevron, left-wing journalist Alexander Zaitchik continued to try to make the oil company look criminal.

CNN's Lemon Spotlights Plight of Yazidi Women Enslaved by ISIS
CNN's Don Lemon refreshingly devoted air time on Monday's CNN Tonight to an ongoing atrocity being committed by Islamic extremist group ISIS – their sexual enslavement of hundreds of Yazidi girls and women.

Columnist, NARAL Tweet ‘Flag of Reproductive Freedom’
Just when you thought feminists couldn't get any more insular, myopic and just plain silly; pills and gripes are the new stars and stripes.
On the eve of Veterans’ Day, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and senator’s wife Connie Schultz tweeted a “Flag of Reproductive Freedom” to her 11,000 followers. In place of the stars signifying the 50 states, the flag boasted 28 buttons representing a…
HBO's 'Newsroom' Excuses CNN's Botched Boston Bombing Report
The low-rated HBO series Newsroom returned on Sunday for a shortened six episode run before limping to a series finale in December. The new season kicked off by examining the Boston bombing and forgiving CNN for botching a call.
Jon Stewart Whacks Bush As Inferior to Jimmy Carter, No Facts Allowed
Comedian Jon Stewart was recently interviewed by his long-time pal (and former employee) Mo Rocca on CBS’s “Sunday Morning” to talk about his new film “Rosewater”, which Stewart directed and wrote.
“Rosewater” is one Newsweek journalist’s perspective of being abducted in Iran. When Rocca informed Stewart that his old “nemesis” George W. Bush would later be interviewed on the same episode of “…
Politico: ‘The Democrats’ Favorite Denier’ Senator Jim Inhofe
With the GOP set to officially take control of the United States Senate in January, Politico decided it was the perfect time to play up Democrats’ criticism of Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), incoming Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, for being “the Hill’s most flamboyant critic of climate research.” In a piece published on November 10, authors Elana Schor and…
Chuck Todd on Obama: 'A President Whose Potential Wasn't Realized'
On Tuesday's NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer and Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd began writing Barack Obama's political obituary, but did so in the most sympathetic way possible. Lauer cited a line from Todd's new book on the President: "And you write that in the foreseeable future, quote, 'He [Obama] will be a president whose potential wasn't realized.' He came to Washington promising to…
Hollywood Actress Dumbfounded When Asked About Liberal Talking Point
In the liberal bastion that is Hollywood, you would think that vapid celebrities could rattle off empty left-wing political jargon with ease. Not in all cases. Liberal talk show host Bill Maher asked a Hollywood actress a question about one of the left’s pet talking points, and was met with utter confusion.
Nets Cheered ObamaCare 'Sign-Up Surge,' But Bury New, Low Numbers
In March, all three networks heralded a "sign-up surge" in ObamaCare numbers ahead of a deadline. Yet, when the administration announced on Monday that the number of people who enroll in the program will be "significantly lower by the end of next year," ABC, CBS and NBC ignored the downbeat forecast.
Angus King: Gruber Who?—Fox & Friends 'Cruel' to Question ObamaCare
Such an "independent," that Angus King. Nany Pelosi herself couldn't have pulled off a more partisan hack job of defending ObamaCare and attacking those who dare question it. Things got ugly on today's Fox & Friends. The show ran the clip [that NB's P.J. Gladnick uncovered and that few in the MSM have aired] of ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber admitting that the bill's drafters had…
