'Daily Show' Reporter Mocks 'Adorable Bigots' Against Gay Marriage

In an effort to shame protesters who believe true marriage is between one man and one woman, Jessica Williams of Comedy Central's The Daily Show mingled with people she believes are on the “Wrong Side of History” while pretending to be crying since this might be her last chance to say goodbye to the “Hate Class of 2015.” The segment was introduced by outgoing host Jon Stewart.

'Django' Actress Ordered to Apologize to Cops She Smeared as Racist

Last October I took msnbc.com to task for a misleading story by writer Michele Richinick about the lewd conduct arrest of Django Unchained actress Daniele Watts -- who is black -- and her boyfriend -- who is white. Fast forward to Monday, May 4, as Ms. Watts pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of disturbing the peace in exchange for prosecutors dropping charges related to public fornication. …

Media Two-Faced on Brain-Dead Pregnant Mothers

An unborn baby’s value depends on whether he or she is wanted, according to recent media reports on two cases of brain-dead pregnant women.  Doctors delivered 32-week-old Angel in April after keeping his brain-dead mother, 22-year-old Karla Perez, on life support for 54 days.

CNN's Chris Cuomo Misquotes Himself in Facebook Defense

Oh-so-sensitive CNN journalist Chris Cuomo went on his Facebook page to address the recent anti-cop quotes that he says were taken out of context. He got in some hot water for saying police officers, “you know how they are.” Cuomo misquoted himself, saying "that's how they are." He didn't want anyone to think he had an anti-police "animus."

CNN Wonders If Muhammad Cartoon Group is 'Looking for More Violence'

Berman asked AFDI vice president Robert Spencer, "By holding more events, then, I suppose you could continue to…

Hillary Spox On Bill's 'Gotta Pay Bills': That's Him, We Focus on Her

Hillary's campaign didn't outright hurl Bill under the bus. Even so, the former prez might be feeling a bit too close for comfort to the grimy side of a Greyhound. Asked by Andrea Mitchell today to comment on footage of poor ol' Bill saying he would continue to give paid speeches because he's "gotta pay our bills," senior Hillary campaign official Amanda Renteria said "that's President Clinton.…

Nets Erase FLOTUS from ‘Bring Back our Girls’ Reporting

Remember “#BringBackOurGirls?” It was the relentlessly hyped and utterly silly Twitter campaign aimed at the African Islamist terror group Boko Haram. It’s hard to know if anyone actually thought tweets would get radical Islamists to release the nearly 300 Christian girls abducted from their school in Chibok, Nigeria. But it did allow Western liberals to advertise their sympathy. And…

Reporter Pounds Earnest for Obama Denunciation of Cartoon Contest

White House press secretary Josh Earnest held a “gaggle” for reporters on Air Force One on Monday around noon. The questioning on the Islamist shooting outside Dallas came up, with a reporter asking for Obama's reaction, but Earnest’s answer – no act of expression deserves violence – failed to satisfy. Since the “gaggle” is an untelevised briefing and the White House transcripts traditionally…

Limbaugh: What if Jihadists Demand Sharia Law for Gays, Women in US?

The kneejerk response from MSNBC's Chris Matthews was boilerplate liberal apologia for the jihad -- yes, Atlas Shrugs blogger Pamela Geller and her American Freedom Defense Initiative have the right to organize a Draw Muhammad contest, but doing so was deliberately provocative and "caused" two fanatical Islamists to open fire outside the event. Both gunmen were killed by a police officer, who…
