NBC Skips New Report on Violent Illegals, Makes Time for Horror Films

ABC and NBC on Thursday ignored a shocking new report from USA Today that the Obama administration has covered up the release of illegals involved with rapes and murders. Only CBS This Morning covered the story, managing a mere 20 seconds. Co-host Charlie Rose explained, "The White House told Congress that 2,200 people released from immigration jails last year had only minor criminal records, but…

Study: Nets Filibuster for Wendy Davis

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. In June 2013, when then Texas State Sen. Wendy Davis staged an 11-hour filibuster against a bill restricting late-term abortions, the national media claimed they’d found a rising liberal superstar, and they’ve been campaigning for her ever since. Davis has few more enthusiastic backers than ABC, CBS and NBC. From the beginning, Davis’ network fans were…

Thomas Roberts, Sam Stein Defend Hillary's War on Bill's Women

Today's Morning Joe offered a sinister sneak preview of how the MSM will defend presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, whatever the cost to integrity or decency.   The topic was the way that Hillary orchestrated the trashing of Bill's many women. Joe Scarborough argued forcefully that this should be remembered when as a presidential candidate she rails against the "war on women." But there was…

Exquisite Timing: USAT Runs Op-Ed on 'Beware the Christian Extremists'

Sandwiched in between two domestic terrorist attacks by Islamic extremists in Canada during the past three days, USA Today ran a Tuesday op-ed which appeared in Wednesday's print edition by Mary Zeiss Stange called "Beware the Christian Extremists." With all due respect, ma'am, we've got bigger worries. But in Ms. Stange's world, Christian "religious extremism taken to potentially lethal ends"…

In this year's midterm elections, New Hampshire's Scott Brown is taking on the slickest Democratic politician since John Edwards.   Incumbent Sen. Jeanne Shaheen presents herself as a regular mom who "rearranges the dishes in the dishwasher if it is packed by someone else" -- as she told The Boston Globe when she ran for governor.

On Wednesday, the results of the St. Louis County autopsy of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who died after being shot by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson on August 9, were leaked to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper and largely supports Wilson’s claims that he had a physical altercation with Brown inside his police SUV.  When it came to the major broadcast networks offering any…

FBN's Dobbs Cites MRC Study on Media 2014 Midterm Election Bias

In a commentary segment on the October 22 edition of his eponymous Fox Business Network program, Lou Dobbs cited a brand-new study by the Media Research Center contrasting the liberal network media's coverage of the 2014 midterms, which is likely to be a Republican wave election tossing Democrats out of power in the Senate, with the 2006 election, in which the media practically cheered on the…

Uh-Oh: American Women Less Than Thrilled With New ‘View’ Cast

The Hollywood Reporter announced that despite a splashy premiere, the new crew on "The View" isn't stopping the bleeding, ratings-wise. They may seek out a fifth, younger co-host, an idea which sources say Rosie O'Donnell hates.

Just when the Cable News Network had actually gained ground in its ratings by picking up 555,000 viewers -- a rise of two percent -- in the third quarter of 2014, CNN has become one of the seven victims of a contract dispute between its parent company, Atlanta-based Turner Broadcasting, and the Dish Network, which has 14 million subscribers.

WaPo Colleague Claims Taking Down Nixon Was Painful for Ben Bradlee

The news of Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee's passing was only hours old and the revisionism was already under way. Appearing on last night's Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC to share his memories of Bradlee was Post columnist Eugene Robinson, who was hired at the paper by Bradlee and had known him more than 30 years.
