At the very end of ABC’s “The View” on Thursday, they turned for advice on infidelity to MTV star/gay activist/sex columnist Dan Savage. (He's in favor of "sexual adventure.")  When Savage explained how he and his partner Terry Miller are not exactly monogamous, Barbara Walters jumped in to wonder about the etiquette of this process: What does Savage say to Miller after an infidelity? [See…

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments on a campaign-finance case that will "test the justices' willingness to buck public opinion," Wall Street Journal Supreme Court correspondent Jess Bravin noted in his page A4 article about the open of the high court's October 2013 term. Bravin devoted the first several paragraphs of his October 7 story, "Campaign Giving Tops High Court's Docket,"…

In these uncertain economic times, one would think that people purporting to be compassionate would not seek to push non-profits to voluntarily drop their sponsors and as a result face significant budget shortfalls. But such calculations seem to be utterly unimportant to a group of far-left environmentalists who are targeting a Boston PBS affiliate because it allows conservative billionaire…

Over the weekend, CNN anchors and guests blamed Republicans for the shutdown and smacked them for "holding the American people hostage" while opposing ObamaCare. That extended CNN's streak of pounding Tea Party Republicans for igniting the shutdown. Below are some of the worst quotes from CNN anchors or guests on Republicans, the shutdown, and ObamaCare:

On Monday, the hosts of NBC's Today eagerly played clips of Saturday Night Live bashing Republicans over the government shutdown. In the morning show's 7 a.m. ET half hour, fill-in co-host Tamron Hall played a clip of SNL host Miley Cyrus doing a parody music video blaming the GOP for the shutdown and gushed: "I think she [Cyrus] might become a member of the five-timers club. You know, the group…

It appears the San Jose Mercury didn't get the memo from the White House forbidding so-called news organizations from saying bad things about the so-called Affordable Care Act. The surprises didn't end with Saturday's surprising headline "Obamacare's Winners and Losers in Bay Area":

According to NBC’s Al Roker, there’s at least one good reason to skip school, and her name is Miley Cyrus. All twerk and no play, eh, Al? After the shameless VMAs and SNL skits, NBC’s “Today” wanted a piece of Cyrus too, and hosted a concert for the former Disney darling. Co-host Al Roker introduced the event, noting the audience: “A lot of these kids are missing school right now, but they're…

Sunday’s Washington Post Magazine offered a cover story on Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, with these words on the cover: “Ginsburg’s Decision: She hears the calls to step aside, but she isn’t ready.” Post high-court reporter Robert Barnes channeled a debate between liberals, and at least he admitted she is “leader of the court’s liberals.” One woman said “We need her to stay…

NBC Sports' relationship with the nation's largest gun show is apparently over. According to Variety, the network will not be a sponsor of January's Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show in Las Vegas.

 Who does George Stephanopoulos work for? ABC News or the Democratic Party? In a This Week Interview on Sunday, the former operative to Bill Clinton foisted the blame for the government shutdown on John Boehner and House Republicans. During the 13 minute interview, Stephanopoulos repeatedly started questions this way: "The Democrats say...The Democrats, including Senate Democrat Harry Reid, have…

In the midst of a federal government shutdown wherein he's refusing to negotiate with congressional Republicans, President Barack Obama had time to hold forth with his thoughts on the name of the Washington Redskins, telling the Associated Press on Saturday that he would "think about changing" the name were he owner of the NFL franchise. Of course, the Big Three networks and major newspapers…

In a dramatically one-sided report on Monday's NBC Today about the government shutdown, White House correspondent Peter Alexander declared: "President Obama is sticking to his guns, demanding Republicans end the shutdown by passing a so-called 'clean C.R.,' a budget extension without any changes to the President's health care law." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]…

Pity ABC correspondent Matt Gutman, trapped in the wrong career. Clearly, he’s a frustrated publicist, or maybe a producer for a sob-sister daytime talk show. That’s the only charitable way to explain his Oct. 4 “20/20” report on Kaitlyn Hunt. Hunt, of Indian River, Fla., was an 18-year-old woman when she had multiple sexual encounters in a high school restroom with a 14-year-old girl. She…
