Slate's Yglesias Demands Redistribution: 'Idea of Equal Opportunities
For some liberals in the media, working to ensure equality of opportunity just isn’t enough. They want to see every American achieve an equal outcome and government have an active role in redistribution of wealth.
Matthew Yglesias, business and economics correspondent at Slate, made such a contention in a Thursday article titled “Sorry, Equal Opportunity Isn’t Good Enough.”
MSNBC Fires Staffer Who Sent Tweet Claiming Republicans Hate Multiraci
Shortly after Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus called on MSNBC's president to personally apologize and "take corrective action" for an offensive statement posted to the liberal network's Twitter feed which claimed that conservative people hate interracial families, the TV executive appears to have done just that.
"The tweet last night was outrageous and unacceptable. We…
Poll: 47% of Uninsureds Unfavorable to ObamaCare; WashPost Buries on A
Some 47 percent of uninsured Americans between the ages of 18 and 64 are now unfavorable towards ObamaCare, the highest negative marks among that demographic since May 2012, according to a survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation. That number could be considerably higher as the margin of error is plus/minus 8 percentage points.
Nevertheless, reporting on the newly-released Kaiser survey, the…
After the State of the Union Address, ABC Lauds Obama as a 'Go-It-Alon
The journalists at ABC News have refrained from questioning Barack Obama's unilateral tone at the State of the Union address. Reporter Jim Avila on Tuesday's Nightline went so far as to compare the President to an iconic movie character. Regarding Obama's threats to use executive actions to accomplish his goals, Avila enthused, "This was President Obama, the go-it-alone Terminator, mindful…
ABC’s Warming Alarmism Grows Cold
In a surprising turn, ABC’s “Nightline” consulted a scientist who thinks the world is in a period of global cooling.
“Nightline” strayed from the networks’ fixation on global warming on Jan. 29, instead running a story with one scientist’s warning of a new ice age. It was the first network program to mention “global cooling” in at least four years.
ABC interviewed Piers Corbyn, an…
McConnell Speaks Out Against New IRS Regulations, Big Three Nets Ignor
The Minority Leader of the United States Senate appeared on The Kelly File, Wednesday night, to announce a push back against the IRS’s latest attempt, via new rules, to silence conservative groups. Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) network reaction? Silence. Not a single network morning show, on Thursday, reported on the latest charges from Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Appearing on…
MSNBC Unapologetically Alters Report on Biracial Cheerios Ad, Removing
MSNBC isn't anywhere near done apologizing for reflexively race-baiting conservatives.
The Cheerios biracial ad controversy ginned up by the far-left network did not begin with an isolated tweet. It began with the underlying report itself by Gabriela Resto-Montero. As originally seen by a poster at Free Republic, Ms. Resto-Montero described the reaction to the original appearance of the ad…
MSNBC's Ball: GOPers 'Must Feel Like They Should Take a Vow of Silence
Appearing as a guest on Wednesday's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell, MSNBC's Krystal Ball cracked that Republicans "must feel like they should just take a vow of silence" until the election as she alluded to New York Republican Rep. Michael Grimm's meltdown with a reporter and Mike Huckabee's recent comments about the so-called "war on women."
Referring to Washington Rep. Cathy…
In Rare Recognition, AP's Peoples Chronicles Dissatisfaction With Obam
At the Associated Press, labeling conservative politicians as "far-right" comes pretty easily. "Far-left"? Not so much.
That there was even one item in the "far-left" search just noted is unusual. It's even more remarkable that the underlying report was written by Steve Peoples, a far-lefty disguised as a reporter if there ever was one. Excerpts from his Wednesday dispatch follow the jump.
WashPost Cheers Hillary's Huge Lead in Dem Primary Poll; 'Benghazi' Om
Philip Rucker and Scott Clement sure are "Ready for Hillary." The Washington Post scribes dutifully pounded out a January 30 front-pager that furthers the Hillary-is-inevitable meme discernible throughout the liberal media. "Clinton holds big Democratic lead" thunders the print headline, with a subhead noting she enjoys "strong support in all demographics" while the "GOP field shows no clear…
As CBS and ABC Move On, NBC Continues to Hype GOP Congressman's Tussle
NBC's Today on Thursday decided to make Republican Congressman Michael Grimm's verbal attack on a reporter after Tuesday's State of the Union a two-day story, with fill-in co-host Tamron Hall proclaiming: "Well, there's more fallout this morning from an ugly scene following the President's State of the Union address." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
The additional "…
CNN: Obama's Gun Control Failure 'One of His Biggest Disappointments
Thursday's New Day on CNN spotlighted President Obama's latest push for gun control, and lamented how "gun issues got just a mention in this year's State of the Union," compared to last year's post-Sandy Hook address. Anchor Kate Bolduan underlined how supposedly "gun control is expected to dog him [Obama] while he's on the road."
Correspondent Brianna Keilar later asserted that "in 2013, it…
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus Bans Staff from MSNBC After Race-Baiting T
As NewsBusters readers are aware, yesterday, MSNBC sent out an offensive tweet which claimed that conservatives hate interracial families. The network eventually retracted its tweet and some staffers with the left-wing cable channel apologized for it but that wasn't good enough for Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus who has banned all of his staff members from appearing on…
Christian Film Blacklisted at Oscars: CBS Sidesteps Controversy Over R
CBS This Morning on Thursday ignored the larger issue behind the blacklisting of a small Christian film that had its Oscar nomination revoked. Talking to Bruce Broughton, the man who wrote the title song for Alone Yet Not Alone, reporter Ben Tracy failed to wonder if there was a religious motive behind the controversial actions. On Wednesday, the film's nomination was stripped because…
