Nets Predicted Republican Doom With Hispanics, Yawn at GOP Surge

For years, liberal journalists have been predicting Republican doom with Hispanics, declaring that rage from the growing ethnic population would result in a permanent GOP minority. NBC's Matt Lauer, for instance, wondered if the severe "damage" could be repaired. Yet, the Republican landslide on Tuesday was powered, in part, by a strong showing with Latinos. So far, this has been met with…

ISIS Sets Prices for Female Slaves; Media Whine U.S. ‘War on Women'

This is the real “War on Women.”  Iraqi News reported Nov. 3 on an ISIS document that listed the prices at which to sell Yazidi and Christian women and children abducted by the terrorist group. Citing economic reasons, ISIS listed the worth of a young woman at $85, of girl at $128, of a child – as young as a year old – at $171. Only a few media outlets covered the story. The feminist media didn’…

MSNBC Host to GOP: Give on Amnesty So Obama Doesn't 'Have' To Order It

The Republican devil would make him do it! On MSNBC's Daily Rundown today, Kristen Welker repeatedly blocked GOP Senator Ron Johnson's attempts to talk about President Obama's threat to issue an executive order granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. When she finally deigned to discuss the issue, Welker suggested that Republicans pass immigration legislation so that Obama doesn't "…

BBC Gives False Impression ‘Affluent West’ is Unhappy

It’s no surprise that people living in the economically prosperous West told Gallup they were relatively happy. Conversely, those living in the former Soviet Union and sub-Saharan Africa reported being much less happy. But that was not the first impression BBC gave when it reported Gallup’s findings. The BBC’s Nov. 5, 2014, headline proclaimed, “Happiness ‘dips in midlife in the affluent West…

Bob Schieffer's Faulty Memory On Assaulting Ollie North As a Liar

CBS Face The Nation host Bob Schieffer granted The Hollywood Reporter an interview to mark the 60th anniversary of that program. Asked about retiring, Schieffer said at 77, he doesn’t think about it: “My wife keeps an eye on me. She says, ‘When you start drooling, then it will be time to go.’” But Schieffer has clearly forgotten the content of his program-length attack on conservative Oliver…

Scarborough, Heilemann to GOP: Ignore Rush, Do Deals With Obama

Rush Limbaugh likes to say that when the liberal media says "talk radio," they mean him.  Rush's point was perfectly illustrated on today's Morning Joe.  John Heilemann first spoke of "talk radio  . . . howling" at Boehner and McConnell not to capitulate to President Obama.  Just a moment later, Heilemann made explicitly clear whom he had in mind: "you got to listen to Rush Limbaugh for just one…

NBC Plays Up Both Sides as 'Digging In' Following Midterms

On Thursday night, NBC Nightly News played up the current political state of affairs in Washington as both Republicans and Democrats having “dug in” to their policy preferences, but focused only on how Republicans want to repeal “the President’s signature accomplishment” and are angered that he will go through with an executive order on illegal immigration.  Anchor Brian Williams first teased…

Mother Jones Blogger: Did Obama Make Sharyl Attkisson Go Crazy?

The Mother Jones pundit writes that Attkisson used to be “a pretty good, hard-nosed investigative reporter,” but adds that as she developed ties to conservative activists, “her reporting became…detached from reality....Her descent seems to be complete.”

AP Couldn't Bring Itself to Say 'Walker Won' in Wisconsin Tues. Night

That the folks at the Associated Press have had it in for Scott Walker for over 3-1/2 years has been quite obvious. The wire service's reporters, particularly Scott Bauer, have made their personal opposition quite clear, sometimes quite bitterly and often dishonestly, to Walker's Act 10 and other policies in their supposedly "objective" reports. So it wasn't any surprise, or really even a…

Cordes Hypes 'Far Right Flank' as Destructive on Illegal Immigration

During Thursday’s CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley, Nancy Cordes continued to disparage conservatives, as she referred to some of the newly elected House of Representatives members as being to Speaker John Boehner’s “far right flank” and joining returning Representatives who stifled “Boehner’s own attempts” to address illegal immigration (that President Obama will now act upon in an expected…

Election Night Reality vs. MSNBC's Wishful Thinking

Election night was a tough night for Rachel Maddow. The results of the night, even in deep blue states like Oregon, give conservatives much to cheer and liberals much to dread.

MSNBC Panelist: Dems Lose Because They Don't Talk On Voters' Level

Appearing as a panelist on the November 6 Hardball, liberal talk show host Joe Madison offered his assessment for why Democrats lost the 2014 midterms: Liberals, being the intellectuals they are, talk above the heads of the average voter, rather than communicating their ideas in an accessible manner for the layman to understand.

Barney Frank: I Thought of Tea Party as 'Dumb Animals'

A shame that Barney Frank retired from Congress.  We could really use him as the face of the Dem party.   On this evening's Hardball, Barney, AKA Mr. Congeniality, let it be known that he thought of Tea Party members as "dumb animals."
