In his “Happy Warrior” column in the April 21 National Review, Jonah Goldberg reports on how “Press Shows Bias.” In this case, it’s the case of California state Sen. Leland Yee, whose remarkable attempts to smuggle guns and even missile-launchers went mostly ignored in the national media. The most notable omitter was CNN, which tweeted it covers state officials “just about never.” (On April…

"Al Jazeera America has started laying off employees. Looks like Middle Eastern oil money just doesn't buy as much anti-American propaganda as it used to." For that joke and for Jodi's take on Colorado kids accidentally getting high after eating their parents' pot brownies, check out today's NewsBusted by clicking play on the embedded video appearing below the page break. To get NewsBusted to…

Leftist radio host Mike Malloy picked up a dated editorial on the Sochi Olympics by Rev. Franklin Graham to lamely claim Graham is “inching closer to Fred Phelps” on the hate meter, since he felt Putin seems more Christian than Obama. But it’s Malloy who is a better role model for coarse rhetoric, suggesting this Christian leader needs "sexual advice," namely, to try anal sex before he…

  After years of vehemently denying that it even exists to the extent of editorializing that it is a myth, the New York Times has finally acknowledged that voter fraud exists...in Afghanistan. Yes, the Times finally goes into detail exposing voter fraud in Afghanistan while continuing to deny it exists right here in the U.S.A.. One might hope the Times could devote even a tenth as much…

Parks and Recreation closed out its season last night with a star-studded bang: from musicians most people have probably never heard of before but assume have some cache (here's lookin' at you, Kay Hanley), to Jon Hamm, to THE FLOTUS, Michelle Obama. As a president, Barack Obama has often been criticized for his celebrity status. Critics argue that political leaders to be refined, dignified…

Note to institutions embroiled in scandal: when The New York Times calls, don’t bother taking the call. That, apparently, is the lesson Florida State University learned the hard way on April 16, when a front page Times hit-piece by Walt Bogdanich left out nearly all the information the school said it provided the Times.

Yesterday, MRC's Matt Hadro reported on the testy exchange NBC's Chuck Todd had with US Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy regarding Hillary's possible presidential run.  Caroline and her Uncle Ted had famously endorsed  Barack Obama over Hillary back in '08, so when Todd probed Caroline on her support for a Hillary run in '16, things got, as Matt said, "prickly." During his appearance on…

On the Thursday, April 24, All In with Chris Hayes, during a discussion of racist comments about black Americans by Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, MSNBC political analyst Michael Eric Dyson compared those words to a recent statement by Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan about the work ethic in the inner cities. [See video below.]

The press and the left are trying to pretend that Cliven Bundy, the Republican Party, and conservatism are all one and the same, despite no evidence of that being the case, because of intemperate things Mr. Bundy has said. Meanwhile, there is deafening silence over the very real actions of Gurbaksh Chahal, a significant Democratic Party donor who has expressed solidarity with liberalism and the…

Miley Cyrus gave an interview to Elle magazine, to an 17-year-old interviewer, Tavi Gevinson. At the very end, the topic of feminism bubbled up. Miley seemed to think that feminism is defined as she, just like a male pop star, wants to be able to grab her crotch and surround herself with “hos” on stage. That is societal “evolution,” she claimed:

For the first time on their weekday evening newscasts, the broadcast networks picked up Cliven Bundy's standoff with the federal government – but only after Bundy's racist comments went viral and his conservative supporters denounced them. Amidst what NBC called a "firestorm," the networks made sure to tie Bundy to the conservatives and Republicans who sympathized with his cause, but were…

Thursday's NBC Nightly News decided it was newsworthy to air a Democrat's tentative support for a hypothetical Hillary Clinton presidential run. NBC's Chuck Todd pressed U.S. Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy on the matter. "Can you foresee yourself supporting Hillary Clinton in 2016 if she chooses to run?" Todd asked Kennedy, who reservedly expressed her support. "Because the last time…

Meet the Press host David Gregory has been the focus of turmoil since the Sunday morning NBC program suffered its lowest ratings since 1992 during the past year and was the subject of a meeting with network news president Deborah Turness in March. After that gathering, NBC “doubled down” on Gregory as host of the series, along with giving him additional duties on the network's news website.…

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio is demanding a quick settlement of the lawsuit brought by the five men convicted of one of the most sickening crimes in the city's history: the attack on the Central Park jogger in 1989. The plaintiffs are demanding $50 million apiece -- for going to prison for a rape that they committed, as detailed in Chapter 13 of "Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Destroying…
