Eric Holder's Fast and Furious Fiasco Was Media Scandal, Too

Thanks to his stonewalling of the House of Representatives investigation into the Fast and Furious scandal, in 2012  Eric Holder became the first Attorney General held in contempt by Congress. Maybe his resignation on Thursday will revive the story for the three broadcast network evening newscasts, but don't count on it. With Sharyl Attkisson no longer working at CBS News, there is no broadcast…

Shielding the Dems: WashPost Buries Md. Tax Shortfall on B3

Deeply liberal Maryland -- where they tax, I kid you not, the rain -- has announced a tax revenue shortfall of $405 million. This news arrives in the middle of a gubernatorial election year and following years of tax hikes and casino openings which the state's Democratic establishment promised would solve the state's fiscal woes.  So naturally the Washington Post shielded Democratic…

NY Times Goes Full Moonbat: 'Alaska Is Going To Be the Next Florida'

It looks like a crazy prediction from a sanity challenged blog such as the Democratic Underground or the Daily Kos. Instead it is the New York Times embracing their inner moonbat with an article predicting that "Alaska is going to be the next Florida by the end of the century. Of course no data backing up the wild assertion is provided.

Control Freaks: Clintons Send Aides to the Bathroom With Reporters

New York Times reporter Amy Chozick is one of a plethora of reporters assigned to the Hillary beat far in advance of any presidential campaign announcement. So it’s obvious she would be ensconced at the Clinton Global Initiative meetings. But even sympathetic reporters like to roam and question people. Chozick complained on the Times website on Wednesday that the Clintons tasked press aides to…

Scarborough On Obama’s Foreign Policy: ‘Conservative With A Small C'

Leave it to MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough to eagerly defend President Obama following his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday. Appearing on Thursday’s Morning Joe, Scarborough insisted that on foreign policy Obama’s "been criticized from a lot of, you could say conservative circles, mainly neo-con circles for not doing enough and going into Syria a year or two ago. But he…

WashPost Columnist Bluster: Obama's FCC Might Ban Word 'Redskins'

Under Obama, the Federal Communications Commission has done pretty much nothing on broadcast obscenity. So it’s utterly baffling why Washington Post metro columnist (and former Metro section editor) Robert McCartney would try to pretend it’s any kind of a threat that the FCC will punish broadcasters for using that alleged obscenity....”Redskins.” “Professor's FCC filing should worry Snyder” was…

Why Colorado's Gutless Gov Is in Trouble

D.C. journalists called the latest Quinnipiac University poll results in Colorado's tight gubernatorial race a "shocker." But it's a surprise only if you've been hopelessly trapped in a Beltway echo chamber. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is down 10 points against former GOP Rep. Bob Beauprez among all likely voters. The Q poll also shows him behind Beauprez by 13 points among independents. A…

Politico's Gerstein: Both Obama, Bush Had 'Zig-Zag' Foreign Policies

The Politico's Josh Gerstein wants readers not to have a problem with President Barack Obama singing the praises of American exceptionalism when in front of U.S. audiences but deep-sixing it when speaking at the United Nations. Though Obama has almost always avoided actually using the E-word, he has recenlly taken to speaking of this nation's "unique" abilities and capabilities, and for some time…

VIDEO: MSNBC Anchor Chris Matthews's 'Homeland' Hypocrisy Exposed

MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews periodically goes on a tear about his disdain for the term "homeland" to refer to the United States of America. On his September 24 program, Chris Matthews groused it was "ominous" language. But it seems his colleague Al Sharpton never got the memo as he used it just prior to the lead-in to tonight's Hardball. What's more, it seems Matthews himself sometimes uses the…
