CBS Asks Romney If Obama 'Lied To The American People On Purpose for P

On Friday’s CBS This Morning, the co-hosts interviewed Mitt and Ann Romney at 8:17 in the show's second hour. Strangely, CBS Evening News couldn’t find a single soundbite of any length from that interview that was worth re-airing on Friday night, nor did CBS re-use any of it over the weekend. It’s obviously a favorable environment for Romney after the Obamacare failures, and CBS’s Charlie…

Morning Joe Mute As Saudi Prince Criticizes Lack Of Democracy . . . In

You're a self-respecting journalist. A guest on your show who is a leading member of  one of the world's few absolute monarchies criticizes the lack of democracy in another country. Wouldn't you challenge him on his hypocrisy? Sorry, trick question: we're talking about Morning Joe. On today's show, Saudi Arabia's Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal mockingly referred to the  Muslim Brotherhood's…

Sen. Mike Lee Makes the Establishment Cringe

Just when I complimented my friends at The Salt Lake Tribune for being authentic for owning the cause of anything other than Mormon and Republican in Utah, they have to go and act like their journalistic editorial standards trump their politics – which is, of course, nonsense. When the Media Research Center in Washington, D.C., cited dozens of reports and editorials issued by the Tribune…

Cher: Sarah Palin Is a 'Dumb C Word

Most women will tell you that other than the N-word, the C-word is the most vile in the English language never to be used. Cher apparently doesn't hold such a belief, for she disturbingly took to Twitter Friday to call former Alaska governor Sarah Palin a "Dumb C Word":

Gillibrand on 'This Week': 'We All Knew' That 'Keep Your Plan' Wasn't

Well, that settles it. Sunday on ABC's "This Week" (video here) New York Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand admitted that "We all knew" that Obamacare's core guarantee — "If you like your plan-doctor-provider, you can keep your plan-doctor-provider" — was false. That's "we" as in "all of us Democrats." There's no wiggle room in what Gillibrand said, as will be demonstrated after the jump.…

HuffPost: Halt All Housing Construction to Stop Climate Change

Left-wing proposals to stop climate change are often ridiculous and extreme, but Huffington Post contributor Lance Hosey’s “modest” proposal was downright laughable. Hosey, an architect and chief sustainability officer, decried the impact that building construction has on carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. In order to limit such pollution, on Nov. 14 Hosey advocated a nationwide…

Chuck Todd: 'Lazy Media' Eager to Jump On Obamacare Website Failure to

Q. If the Obama administration fails to keep its promise that the Obamacare website would be fixed by November 30th, how would you describe the press that reported that fact? A. "Lazy media." If you're NBC political director Chuck Todd, that is.  On today's Morning Joe, Todd said the White House was smart to lower the bar about the website by saying only 80% of people would be able to use it…

Confederacy of Dunces: MSNBC Still Fighting Civil War

It’s good to see the left finally upset about treasonous threats to the United States. Never really able to get worked up about communist spies, domestic terrorists or radical mosques, lefties – at least the ones at MSNBC – are sounding the alarm over … The Confederacy. Everywhere the hosts and guests of MSNBC look they see gray and butternut – secessionists and white supremacists, wild-eyed…

What They Said Before the Train Wreck: The Top 10 Worst Quotes Pushing

While the liberal media may finally be admitting the obvious -- that the ObamaCare rollout has been an “embarrassing,” “botched” failure that has thrown millions off their insurance -- that’s not what they were predicting about the Affordable Care Act when it was first introduced. Not long ago, they assured their viewers that they could keep their health plans if they liked them; predicted…

ABC and Dan Rather Perpetuate Myth Right Wing Hate Killed Kennedy

Lee Harvey Oswald was far-left defector to the Soviet Union, but you’d never know that from Sunday’s ABC This Week which focused on Dallas as a cauldron of segregationist hate for President Kennedy without any mention of the political orientation of the actual assassin. Using Dan Rather as his expert, ex-CBS and current ABC reporter Byron Pitts perpetuated the myth that right-wing hate was…
