During Wednesday night's edition of The O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel, Bill O'Reilly slammed Martin Bashir for his vulgar comments about defecating and urinating on former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, and guest Howard Kurtz said it's “stunning” that MSNBC has yet to discipline its weekday afternoon anchor.

Tom Brokaw: Don't Blame Dallas for JFK's Death, Oswald Was 'A Far-left
Despite former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw’s account of right-wingers who were delighted John F. Kennedy was killed, he also suggested on MSNBC Friday that “Dallas didn’t have anything to do with the assassination,” and assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was “a far-left guy, not a far right guy.”
It came up on “Now with Alex Wagner,” and she was pushing a New York Times article by Sam Tanenhaus, where JFK…

Flip-Flop-Flip: NY Times Opposes Filibusters... When They Frustrate De
"Look, folks, we love the filibuster when Democrats use it against Republicans, but really hate it when Republicans use it against Democrats."
If the New York Times editorial board were completely honest, that's exactly what they'd admit in print to their readers. Instead the Gray Lady keeps shifting her point of view on the parliamentary maneuver depending on whose ox is gored. On January 1…

Brokaw: People In Conservative States Wanted Kennedy Shot
Is it possible for Americans to commemorate the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s death without the media taking potshots at the Right?

Morning Joe Package Falsely Implies Right Wing Hate Led to JFK Assassi
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated 50 years ago by a Communist sympathizer, yet Friday’s Morning Joe on MSNBC ran a package that emphasized right-wing hate in Dallas while failing to mention Lee Harvey Oswald or his ideological leanings. The package, narrated by Brian Shactman, focused on the “unspoken speech” that President Kennedy was planning to give on the day he was shot.…

ABC, NBC Minimize Senate Democrats Dropping Nuclear Option, Tout 'Bold
ABC's Good Morning America and NBC's Today on Friday did their best to downplay Senate Democrats' Thursday move to curtail the Republican Party's filibuster power. The two newscasts devoted a combined 39 seconds to the controversial vote, which ABC's Dan Harris labeled a "bold move". GMA apparently thought the potential marriage of serial killer Charles Manson was more important, as it devoted…

GOP Destroying Islands with Climate Change, Businessweek Says
Climate change hysteria requires increasingly taller tales. The latest issue of Businessweek blamed Republicans for the alleged future destruction of a small chain of islands in the South Pacific. Despite this finger pointing, this same article contradicted many of its own arguments.
The islands, called Kiribati, are in danger from rising sea levels, according to a Nov. 21 cover article by…

Shorter MSNBC.com: It's Racist to Move a City Election to July
In compliance with a new state law, Augusta-Richmond County, Georgia, is moving up the date for its nonpartisan elections from the month of November to July, when primary elections are held. Although such a move will synchronize the jurisdiction's non-partisan municipal election date with that of other counties in the Peach State, some Democrats are crying foul and playing the race card.…

Obama Had 2007 Office 'Portrait Session' With Pornographer
Over at our sister site CNSNews.com, reporter Barbara Boland has discovered that Barack Obama welcomed a pornographer into his Senate office in 2007 for a photo shoot for the hip-hop magazine Vibe.
The cover featured Obama looking at his watch with the headline “It’s Obama Time.” Vibe editor Danyel Smith lamely claimed to NPR back then “it is not an endorsement, even though I've had people…

What ObamaCare Disaster? NBC Continues Blackout of Failing Health Care
After going 72 hours without even mentioning ObamaCare on its air waves, NBC's continued refusal to cover the disastrous policy on Thursday's Nightly News or Friday's Today brought that total up to 96 hours. Amazingly, Friday's Today had the audacity to include two segments about Vice President Joe Biden buying lunch at a Washington D.C. sandwich shop rather provide any ObamaCare updates.…
