No, "I'm not off my rocker," Ed Schultz told his radio listeners after making an off-the-wall prediction. Actually, two predictions -- that Hillary Clinton is a virtual shoo-in who will waltz back into the White House, and that Dick Cheney will cave to pressure from movement conservatives and run for president. As for the first prediction, I vaguely recall many pundits saying much along the…

MSNBC’s newest liberal darling Ronan Farrow paid a visit to Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” on Tuesday night, and the daytime MSNBC host was hilariously mocked by the liberal comedian during the entire segment. Throughout the interview, Colbert repeatedly poked fun at Farrow and his liberal MSNBC network, going so far as to tell his guest at age 26 “You could actually still be on your…

MSNBC’s primetime darling Rachel Maddow has an obsession with attacking conservatives, especially if they are associated with the presidency of George W. Bush. Whether it’s using her nightly program or her appearances across the NBC platform, Maddow seems to never miss an opportunity to attack former Bush officials. Appearing as a guest on the company's Late Night w/ Seth Meyers on Tuesday…

OXON HILL, Md. -- The first "people" I recognized on arriving at last week's Conservative Political Action Committee gathering just outside Washington were two "stormtroopers" and a Wookiee from the 1977 film "Star Wars." Some of the speeches also expressed sentiments from the past, though not as cleverly as those in costume: Obama is a bad president, even a bad man. America looks weak before…

[Update, 3:45 pm Eastern: Cuomo angrily responds to NewsBusters; see below.] On Wednesday's New Day, CNN's Chris Cuomo played up how Florida Republican David Jolly's campaign played The Price Is Right theme music at his victory rally on Tuesday, and remarked that its use was somehow a perfect sign of the influence of big money in political races: "What a metaphor for what politics has become…

Hailing him as a "Generous Guy," in this morning's "Cheat Sheet" digest [see screen capture below page break] the editors of the Daily Beast today praised President Obama for planning to "unveil a plan to force businesses to pay more overtime to millions of employees," justifying the move since the country "[faces] an economy where workers' wages have stagnated while corporate profits have…

MRC's Tim Graham, the executive editor of NewsBusters, appeared on TheBlazeTV show "Wilkow!" on Tuesday on the hot topic of Sharyl Attkisson resigning from CBS News. Tim professed amazement with the idea of CBS claiming they were "concerned about her sort of stretching into advocacy journalism, when really what we’ve known from CBS in the Obama years is kiss-up interviews on ‘60 Minutes’ with…

The mainstream media typically pay a great deal of attention to the annual Conservative Political Action Conference. In the past few days, two prominent lefty bloggers have ventured to explain why. In a post this past Saturday, the last day of CPAC 2014, Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Josh Marshall asserted that the top two reasons the conference gets a lot of media coverage are…

On Wednesday, the network morning shows gave a combined 53 seconds of air time to Democrats losing a bellwether congressional election in Florida and just 37 seconds to bad poll numbers for President Obama. Meanwhile, Obama shopping at the Gap and pushing regulations to force businesses to pay employees overtime wages got 3 minutes and 36 seconds of coverage. [Listen to the audio or watch the…

CNN anchor Jake Tapper went on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show Tuesday, and naturally the 2016 presidential race came up as a discussion topic. Referring to the battle for the Republican nomination, Tapper proclaimed, “[I]t is a wide-open field, and there is no one, literally no one I would discount.” The veteran political journalist then rattled off a few GOP hopefuls he would not discount – Gov.…

Earlier this week, Senator Dianne Feinstein revealed that she believed the CIA had hacked into Senate Intelligence Committee computers. After Ms. Feinstein’s shocking revelations, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was met with a barrage of questions from reporters on the subject, but Chuck Todd, NBC’s Chief White House Correspondent had perhaps the most bizarre and unnecessarily partisan…

The journalists at CBS This Morning on Wednesday swooned over Barack Obama's fake interview with an actor/internet chat show host. Offering almost no criticism of the viral video designed to boost ObamaCare enrollment, co-anchor Gayle King lauded, "Humor works. Bravo to Zach [Galifanakis] and bravo to the President!" [See video below MP 3 audio here.] In a follow-up interview with senior…

MRC president Brent Bozell appeared Fox News Channel’s “Your World With Neil Cavuto” on Monday to discuss how CBS released reporter Sharyl Attkisson from her contract after burying her reporting on Benghazi and other Obama scandals. Bozell lamented the dearth of TV reporting on the terrorist attack in Benghazi: “But you know, the old adage -- 'If it bleeds, it leads.' This is a story that…

Last night, I noted that the Associated Press had not deigned to consider Republican David Jolly's victory over Democrat Alex Sink in the FL-13 Congressional race a "Top U.S. Story" as of 10:13 p.m. To AP's credit (or perhaps because of yours truly's and others' razzing?), a story about the race was at the Number 6 spot in Top U.S. Stories as of 8:15 this morning. CNN.com, on the other hand (…
