HuffPo Posts Story on Barney Frank's July Interview Ripping Obama's 'Y

Former Congressman Barney Frank had "a July interview" with the Huffington Post. The liberal blog's Zach Carter put up a post about it on Friday, August 1 at 3:59 p.m. How convenient, because Frank ripped President Obama and his administration, who he says "just lied to people" about whether they could keep their existing healthcare plans under the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.…

Plenty of Praise for July Jobs Report from Networks

Released on Friday morning, the latest jobs report from the Labor Department touted a net growth of 209,000 jobs in July. On Friday evening, the report was promoted on all three of the major broadcast networks, ranging from news briefs by ABC and NBC to a full report from CBS. While there was plenty of praise and even an ounce of positive news, the networks mostly failed to note that the…

On Friday night, the major broadcast networks all covered the latest developments in the conflict between the Israelis and Hamas as a three-day cease-fire collapsed after an Israeli solider was captured during an ambush while the two sides fought in an underground tunnel.

Now Substitute Host Ezra Klein Fails to Disclose Ties to Vox and Vox R

Serving on Friday as the substitute host for Now with Alex Wagner, Vox founder and Editor-In-Chief Ezra Klein had a science reporter from Vox.com on to discuss the current outbreak of the Ebola virus in Africa and the arrival of two Americans who were working there to an Atlanta-area hospital. The segment was very informative, but it left out one key detail: Klein failed to disclose his own…

Media Tarring Conservatives as 'Anti-Immigrant and 'Anti-Hispanic

Is it fair to use the labels “anti-immigrant” and “anti-Hispanic” to describe individuals and groups who support the faithful execution of United States immigration law, and who solely express their opposition to illegal immigration? By any measure, the use of such labels is not only inaccurate, but dishonest and actually offensive.

Prep School-Educated Colbert Badgers Public School Reform Advocate in

Stephen Colbert began the July 29 edition of The Colbert Report by doing his best to perpetuate liberal’s favorite myth that, in Obama’s words, women make “77 cents for every dollar a man earns.” Using his faux conservative persona, the comedian evinced over-the-top sexism to blast President Obama comments on putting historical female figures on U.S. currency, stating that he needs to “think of…

CNN Yawns at Cuomo Witness Tampering Scandal; Covers Firing of Marchin

As of 5pm ET on Friday, August 1, CNN has yet to cover the investigation into New York Governor Andrew Cuomo over his possible obstruction of a commission trying to expose political corruption in the Empire State's government. Instead, New Day, the network's morning show (which is co-anchored by the governor's brother, Chris Cuomo) has covered seemingly more important stories, such as the…

ABC Exposes Nude Biden, But Ignores Same Book's Claims About Bill Clin

Secret Service agents dread finding Joe Biden swimming in the nude, according to a new book featuring quotes from agents. That juicy tidbit made Good Morning America on Friday. What didn't seem newsworthy? The allegation from the same book that Bill Clinton's latest mistress is referred to as "the energizer." Perhaps this could have something to do with the fact that the ABC program is co-…

Speaknado: New Republic 'Obamacare Truther' Confession

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Pardon me for channeling my inner Max Cady laugh but I just couldn't help myself. The irony, the embarrassment, and the schadenfreude are just too much to bear without bursting out laughing. It turns out that one of the biggest Obamacare supporters on the Web, Jonathan Cohn of the New Republic, has himself committed a "Speak-O." What makes it even funnier was…

NBC Host: ‘Life in the Womb Much Busier Than You Might Expect

Well, Savannah Guthrie probably shouldn’t wait by the phone for any Planned Parenthood or NARAL awards. In a move that qualifies as revolutionary among the liberal media, the NBC co-host acknowledged unborn babies as life.  During “Today” on July 31, Guthrie presented “a story that I am definitely interested in” as an expectant mom: the “secret lives” of babies. She introduced the segment by…

WashPost Reports, But Buries, Report On Obama Regulatory Agencies Viol

Buried on page A19 of the Washington Post  was the latest example of the Obama administration willfully, flagrantly ignoring its obligations under federal law. In the last two fiscal years alone, according to a report from Juliet Eilperin, over 1,200 regulations are technically  invalid under federal law. The reason lies in a 1996 law stating that “federal rules are supposed to be reported…

Joe Scarborough Attempts to Backpedal on Anti-Israel Remarks

In response to the media backlash following Joe Scarborough’s harsh remarks about Israel on yesterday’s Morning Joe broadcast, the former Republican congressman spent almost four minutes of air-time on the August 1 edition insulting “the usual suspects” that lacked “the intellectual capacity to actually grasp” his earlier “statement.” He stated that he would use “simple talk that simple minded…
