O'Donnell and her co-hosts were discussing the verbal battle between Affleck and Bill Maher on Friday's Real Time. The atheist Maher called out his fellow liberals for not standing up to…

Gay NY Times Columnist Rants Against the Catholic 'Gay Obsession'

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. The gay-obsessed New York Times is letting a gay columnist whack away at the Catholic church as having a “gay obsession.” No one obsesses about the gays as much as the gays, but you are only allowed to be “obsessed” if it’s relentlessly, propagandistically positive. Openly gay columnist Frank Bruni calls it “persecution” for Catholic schools to…

Piers Morgan Condemns Media's 'Moral Cowardice': Not Anti-Gun Enough

Appearing on Monday's NBC Today, ex-CNN host Piers Morgan kept up the anti-gun crusade that caused his ratings to plummet, denouncing his colleagues in the press: "I wish more American media people, American news anchors stood up. Because so many of them privately to me would say, 'I love what you're doing. Keep going, it's really important.' But I never heard that on air. And I think there's a…

Notable Quotables: Farewell to the ‘Non-Political’ Eric Holder

Now online: the October 6 edition of Notable Quotables, MRC’s bi-weekly compilation of the latest outrageous quotes in the liberal media. This week, NBC’s Chuck Todd tags the very liberal Eric Holder as “non-political,” even as his own network can’t decide if the President’s assertion that intelligence agencies failed to warn about ISIS was a “candid” admission or shifting the blame away from the…

Asked About Muslim Extremism Threat, Mohyeldin Counters with Crusades

Remember this the next time you see a report by Ayman Mohyeldin.  The man NBC sends to report on doings in Muslim countries around the world can't say which extremism—Christian, Jewish or Muslim—poses the greatest current threat to civilization. When Joe Scarborough posed that very question to the NBC reporter on today's Morning Joe, Mohyeldin punted. Instead of talking about current threats, …

AP Takes Wildlife Federation's Walrus Claims at Face Value

At the end of each chorus in "I am the Walrus," the Beatles' 1967 song, John Lennon sings what is more likely than not a nonsense line: "Goo goo g'joob." Apparently, Margaret Williams, managing director of the World Wildlife Federation's Arctic program, interpreted that line as "cuckoo-ca-choo," and has gone cuckoo in talking about real walruses in the real world, blaming a large gathering of…

AP-GfK Poll Rates GOP Leaders in 'Congress,' But Not Dems in Senate

The polling partnership of the Associated Press and GfK Public Affairs & Corporate Communications conducted its final pre-early voting survey of the American electorate during the five days ended September 29. It would be pretty hard to argue against the idea that the polling effort searched for answers it could use, while avoiding getting — or at least publishing — answers it wouldn't like…

Will Weighs in on How Poorly Obamanomics Has Worked in Illinois

On Thursday, President Barack Obama did something Republicans have inexplicably been reluctant to do. He nationalized the impending midterm elections by telling a friendly audience at Northwestern University that "I am not on the ballot this fall ... But make no mistake: These policies (of my administration) are on the ballot -- every single one of them." That evening on Fox News's Special…

Sarah Silverman 'SNL' Song: 'Jesus Was a Woman'

For a show so focused on rabid feminism, SNL didn't live up to expectations last night. On Oct. 4, comedian Sarah Silverman hosted Saturday Night Life. One of her projects -- a song with SNL's Kate McKinnon -- explained how "there are a lot more women out there than you think," from Marvel's female Thor character, to Bill Maher, to Jesus.
