Open Thread: Rolling Stone's Descent into Liberal Paranoia
In a 10,000 word poison-pen biography on Fox News Channel president Roger Ailes, containing all expected anti-FNC paranoia, Rolling Stone's Tim Dickinson engages in what has sadly become standard practice for the left's Fox haters: he slimes the channel, then fails to produce a single quote from a supporter of the network. And for all of Dickinson's concern over Fox's supposed influence on…
Leftist ‘Consumer Interest’ Groups Are Only Interested in Big Gove
Editor's Note: This first appeared in BigGovernment.com.
We have oft discussed the Orwellian manner Leftists do, well, everything.
And specifically how they go about naming their gaggles – the groups they form to advance their Leftist agenda.
The Media Marxists looking to eradicate all private ownership of news and communications – so as to have the government be your sole provider of…
Stuck in the Past? WaPo Champions Poet of the 'Beautiful Revolution' o
Why must The Washington Post promote communists with more ardor than they could muster for any American Republican? Tuesday’s front page of the Post oozed: “‘El Padre,’ still preaching.” The subject was Ernesto Cardenal, a defrocked Catholic priest and the culture minister of the Sandinista dictatorship in Nicaragua in the 1980s. Surrounding a huge photo on the front of the Style section was…

As broadcast news programs over the weekend gave attention to Sarah Palin’s bus tour which was viewed as a possible prelude to a presidential run, NBC correspondent John Harwood had one of the most negative views of the former Alaska governor’s chances of being elected President as he appeared on Sunday’s NBC Nightly News and predicted that she "has next to zero chance of being elected…

Newsweek Science Editor on Global Warming: This Year's Weather Extreme
NewsBusters readers are quite familiar with the frantic hyperbole that often come from the keystrokes of Newsweek's so-called science editor Sharon Begley.
On Saturday she penned another breathless doozy with the Hitchcockian sub-headline "In a world of climate change, freak storms are the new normal. Why we’re unprepared for the harrowing future":
Wrong, Rachel - US Began Negotiating With Aide to Mullah Omar Before b
Does anybody at MSNBC vet this stuff before it comes from Rachel Maddow?
Because much of it wouldn't pass muster at a halfway decent high school newspaper.
Case in point -- Maddow's blatantly inaccurate claim on her show Friday that US negotiations with Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar began after bin Laden's death. (video after page break).
Video: ‘Bastard in the Sand’ Parody Sung by Martin Short Accompani
A couple of weeks ago, actor/comedian Martin Short celebrated the killing of Osama bin Laden by singing, on the Late Show with David Letterman, “Bastard in the Sand,” a parody set to the tune of Elton John's “Candle in the Wind.”
As he played the piano and sang, he was accompanied by five people dressed as Navy SEALs whom the Late Show blog, the Wahoo Gazette, called “the Singing Navy SEALs…
Kurtz Offers Clinton, Edwards and Spitzer as Examples of Media's Balan
CNN media analyst Howard Kurtz on Monday offered Bill Clinton, John Edwards, and Eliot Spitzer as examples of how the press don't give Democrats the benefit of the doubt when it comes to sex scandals.

Krugman: Government Should Solve Unemployment By Hiring People To Repa
Despite Obamanomics' failure to stimulate the economy, Nobel laureate Paul Krugman still believes Washington can solve all that ails us if we would just spend more money we don't have.
Toward that end, the avowed liberal in his Monday New York Times column called for a new New Deal-like program to hire unemployed people to - wait for it - repair roads:
Los Angeles Radio Host Uses Witch-Hunt Logic to Defend Ed Schultz's Sm
How about that, he's a lawyer to boot.
Angered by Ed Schultz's quick apology and suspension from MSNBC for maligning Laura Ingraham as a "right-wing slut" and 'talk slut," Los Angelese-based radio host Bill Handel has come up with a decidedly peculiar response to the controversy.
Is there "any proof that she's not" a slut, Handel asked on his KFI AM radio show.
It was such a warped take…
MRC’s Notable Quotables: We Need the ‘Courage’ to Raise Taxes
It’s Memorial Day, but the MRC is out with its latest edition of Notable Quotables, a re-cap of the most outrageous, sometimes humorous, quotes from the liberal media over the past two weeks.
This edition: NBC’s Andrea Mitchell insists that Republicans just lack the “guts” to raise taxes; David Gregory suggests it’s “racially-tinged” for Newt Gingrich to try and spotlight President Obama’s…
The True Meaning of Memorial Day
I first posted this amazing video at NewsBusters five years ago. At the time, the background music was Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven." According to YouTube, record producers forced the soundtrack's removal due to copyright infringement.
As such, I offer it again accompanied by Leann Rimes' version of "Amazing Grace":
Day After Joe Klein Says Obama Closer to Military Than Bush Poll Finds
As NewsBusters reported Sunday, Time magazine's Joe Klein said on this weekend's "The Chris Matthews Show" Barack Obama has a better relationship with the military than George W. Bush did.
Almost on cue, Gallup released a poll Monday finding military personnel and veterans give Obama lower marks than the rest of the population:
