Rosie Perez Struggles Badly to List Hillary's Accomplishments

On Thursday's edition of The View on ABC, co-host Rosie Perez took offense at Jeb Bush for suggesting Hillary Clinton had no accomplishments in the Senate or as Secretary of State in an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News.

No Transparency: NBC News Hiding Its Internal Brian Williams Probe

While CBS News released a report by outsiders on Dan Rather's 2004 debacle, NBC News used insiders to report on the wild exaggerations of Brian Williams. CBS released its resulted to the public, and NBC is clamming up. Former ABC and CNN reporter Mark Feldstein lamented: "They have kept their report secret. They have not revealed it to the public.

Maher Digs Deep, Blames Conservative Media for Charleston Shooting

Watched Fox News today? Taken a look at what's posted on Drudge Report or The Daily Caller? Doing any of this makes you a thought criminal and potentially violent, at least according to liberal comic Bill Maher. Wasting no time politicizing the mass murder of nine people at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., Maher on his show last night literally pointed a…

Amanda Marcotte: Conservatism Based On ‘Irrational Tribal Politics’

Group loyalty is a big part of politics on both sides of the fence, but as far as lefty pundit Marcotte is concerned, it’s become so inflated on the right that it often crowds out crucial things like “basic common sense.” In a Friday Talking Points Memo column, Marcotte asserted that “conservatives are going way too far with this knee-jerk tendency to believe ‘their’ people can do no wrong and…

Hillary, Liberal Media Sites Squirm at Trump's Truths on Immigration

The truth hurts, goes the old saying. Nowhere is that better illustrated than in the liberal media’s treatment of Donald Trump’s presidential announcement. Not to mention the reaction of Hillary Clinton. Trump must never mention that Mexican immigrants have brought violent crime, including the rape of children. That's rude. It's also documented fact.

New Film Explores Fiery Bill Buckley-Gore Vidal ABC Debates in 1968

In 1968, ABC News tried to improve on its lowly third-rank status by bringing on some rock-em, sock-em commentary around the two party conventions  from two intellectual heavyweights: William F. Buckley Jr. On the right, and author Gore Vidal on the left. A new documentary – from the left, considering it carries a tag from Independent Lens, a leftist documentary series for PBS – explores the…

Arsenio Hall Blasts Brian Williams

So, Arsenio, tell us how you really feel about Brian Williams. Actually, Arsenio Hall did tell us exactly how he felt about Brian Williams' apology yesterday and it was brutal. As you can see from his tweet below, don't expect the two to be slow jamming the news together anytime soon. Could some of the bad blood have been the result of Brian Williams snubbing Arsenio Hall when he did a story…

Romney Calls Out RT for Propagandized News

At a conference last week in Utah, former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney decried the over-reach of Russia’s state-sponsored news outlet RT. Concerned with the obvious parallels between the agendas of RT and Vladimir Putin, Romney exclaimed, “I mean, I turn on my TV here – and there’s RT.” Who wouldn’t be concerned about a foreign country’s propaganda being spit out 24 hours a day?

AP Airbrushes Obama's Frustration and Self-Cited Constituent Anger

Imagine if any Republican president in the past fifty years had said the following: "I get letters, people say, you are an idiot -- (laughter) -- and here’s what you didn’t do, and here’s the program that is terrible, and all kinds of stuff. But this gentleman, he said, I voted for you twice but I’m deeply disappointed. And it went on and on, chronicling all the things that hadn’t gotten done."…
