The Washington Post announced Wednesday “We are very excited to announce that Dave Weigel will be joining the Post as a National Political Reporter. Dave will bring his one-of-a-kind perspective and voice to our campaign team.” Being a liberal isn’t “one-of-a-kind” at the Post, but let’s continue. This is Weigel’s second spin around the Post, having resigned in 2010 over “JournoList,” an e-mail…

On Tuesday's Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN, the New York Times' Maggie Haberman did her best to downplay Hillary Clinton's weaknesses, particularly in light of her recent interview with CNN's Brianna Keilar. Haberman asserted that the former first lady was "uneven" during the interview, but quickly added that Mrs. Clinton is "somebody who tends to get better over time." The journalist also played up…

The normally vacuous Nightline on Tuesday night took a break from such topics as "bootleg butt injections" and instead offered a sympathetic look at San Francisco's sanctuary city law. The city's practice of not reporting illegal immigrants came under harsh scrutiny after a woman was murdered by a man who had been deported five times. ABC analyst Dan Abrams appeared to defend the laws, saying, "…

During Hillary Clinton’s first national interview on CNN Tuesday, the Democratic presidential candidate was pressed about her use of a private e-mail server during her time as Secretary of State, but both PBS and NPR ignored the topic during their post-interview coverage on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

What’s it going to take for the networks to start seriously reporting on the IRS scandal again? On Tuesday, Judicial Watch announced the stunning revelation that newly discovered Department of Justice and IRS documents showed there was “an October 2010 meeting between Lois Lerner, DOJ officials and the FBI to plan for the possible criminal prosecution of targeted nonprofit organizations for…

Hillary Clinton's campaign literally encircling reporters with a rope during an Independence Day parade to prevent them from approaching Clinton and asking pesky questions, and the reporters acquiescing -- a scenario tailor-made for Rush Limbaugh to mock. Limbaugh didn't comment on this during his radio show Monday, saying he didn't want to, uh, "get roped in." But on his program yesterday,…

Ariana Grande chose Independence Day to announce a certain “hate” of hers towards America and Americans. 22-year-old pop star Ariana Grande celebrated her July 4 by visiting Wolfee Donuts in Lake Elsinore, CA with her backup dancer Ricky Alvarez. Security footage obtained by TMZ showed the couple licking donuts for sale and laughing when they didn’t get caught (or so they thought). 

Abstinence, to the media, is an alien topic – but now there’s a new specimen to examine: Russell Wilson. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson revealed that he and singer Ciara are abstaining from sex while dating, in a recent interview. During a segment on Good Morning America July 8, ABC correspondent Paula Faris gave the couple a “kudos” for “holding on to core values.” Others in the media…

Did you know Spencer Tracy was gay? No? Well he’s one of many labeled as such in a gay activist’s new book. The Hollywood Reporter interviewed prominent gay activist and filmmaker Larry Kramer about these claims in his new book, The American People: Volume 1: Search for My Heart.

‘Hollywood has always been a gay town,’ Kramer claims.

Appearing on Wednesday’s NBC Today, Meet the Press host Chuck Todd delighted in Hillary Clinton refusing to admit any wrongdoing in the State Department e-mail scandal: “She showed no remorse, no regret....Very defiant. Reminded me of the old days. She almost – it’s almost as if she's enjoying the House Republicans attacking her.”

On Wednesday’s CBS This Morning, John Dickerson analyzed Hillary Clinton’s performance in her first national television interview and he did his best to stress that her overall trustworthiness issues are not really an issue for her 2016 presidential campaign. The Face the Nation moderator argued that voters only “need to find her trustworthy on the questions of is she going to fight for them. Is…

ESPN is the latest on the dump Trump bandwagon. The network is pulling its July 14 ESPY Celebrity Golf Classic from Trump National Golf Club over Donald Trump’s comments about Mexican illegal immigrants last month. The only surprise here is that it took ESPN so long to join NBCUniversal, Univision and Macy’s in punishing the billionaire GOP hopeful. ESPN, after all, is an exquisitely liberal…

The Associated Press's Christopher Rugaber had a very bad day on Thursday as he covered the government's June jobs report, but it was all self-inflicted. I noted much of the problem in a NewsBusters post yesterday, citing how the AP economics writer got badly burned while engaging in the wire service's usual practice of analyzing expected and reported economic results instead of concentrating on…
