Mika Brzezinski just can't contain her liberal bias. On today's Morning Joe, Mika admitted that the the MSM has a double standard when it comes to reporting controversial things that Democrats and Republicans have done or said. Yet she promptly turned around and applied that same double standard to Bernie Sanders and Rick Santorum. Discussing Bernie Sanders having written in 1972 that women…

Is Al Hunt the most oblivious man in Washington, or was he just not telling the truth? On today's Morning Joe, lauding Bob Schieffer upon his retirement, Hunt actually said "I have no idea what Bob Schieffer's politics are." No idea?  Really? Maybe Al hasn't been watching Scheiffer, but NewsBusters and its parent MRC have.  Take a look at this link for a compilation of Bob's greatest hits on…

In a report on the relative infrequency of hurricanes in the U.S. during the past decade nationwide, and many decades in certain coastal areas, the Associated Press's Seth Borenstein detected a problem. The problem is that those who contend that human-caused global warming is ruining our planet believe that hurricane frequency should be increasing, but it's not. So Borenstein tried to cover his…

The newspaper The Hill reports that the mayor of Ferguson charged on Sunday that violent protesters in his community are arriving from out of town and getting paid. It’s not what you would call “grass roots” unrest. “They’ve been openly raising money and distributing money for some time,” James Knowles III told radio host John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on AM 970 in New York. “The…

In case you missed it, the City of Baltimore and the State of Maryland have requested disaster relief assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to recover costs incurred during that city's April riots. You read that right. Yvonne Wenger at the Baltimore Sun predictably buried the lede in her May 26 story's third paragraph, giving uninitiated readers the impression that…

One doesn't know what to do with the rubbish which follows beyond noting it and hoping that the ridicule which results will somehow and in some way have some kind of impact. Despite 6-1/2 years of horrid governance and dozens of acknowledged scandals, several of which a few of the credible remaining outposts of liberal thought have actually agreed are scandals, David Brooks, the New York Times's…

The New York Times classless liberal columnist Paul Krugman has a reputation for exploiting tragedy for partisan gain, and did so again Sunday afternoon, writing about former Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert, accused of using hush money to cover up sexual misconduct with a former student: "Defense of traditional values played a big role in the 2004 campaign....But what we’re now learning…

Hollywood sure has a "strange" way of showing they are taking a step in a direction toward more diversity. Case in point? Doctor Strange, set to debut in November of 2016, has a high profile role for an Asian character.  This character is known as “ the Ancient One” – a “mystical mentor to Doctor Strange, of Tibetan extraction and more than 500 years old.  His powers include astral projection,…

During an interview with Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd appeared visibly shocked when his guest argued that Democrats support amnesty because “they can win more elections.” In response to Santorum, Todd acted indignant and interjected: “You think that the Democrats are for immigration, for more immigration, simply for politics, for votes, they…

A pro-amnesty, anti-deportation organization whose goal is to “get Immigration and Customs Enforcement out of our communities” recently tried to stop the deportation of a drunk-driving convict, alleging to MundoFox that the man should be spared from deportation because of his record of service as a member of their organization.

Retiring Face the Nation moderator Bob Schieffer sat down with FNC's Howard Kurtz on Sunday’s MediaBuzz and did his best to excuse the media’s soft treatment of President Obama in the 2008 campaign. Schieffer conceded the media “were not skeptical enough” before he argued the media have no role in shaping political campaigns: "My feeling is, it is the role of the other -- of the opponents to make…

On Sunday’s Reliable Sources, CNN’s Brian Stelter reported that disgraced NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams may not be done with the network and instead may have a “new role” following the completion of his six month suspension.

When did Ronald Reagan’s tenure as president of the United States end? Officially, on January 20, 1989, but Washington Monthly blogger D. R. Tucker posits that in a sense Reagan stayed in office well after that. In a Saturday post, Tucker asserted that in 1988, some right-wing “ideologues” sought to “artificially extend the Reagan administration past its constitutionally limited time by propping…

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews appeared as a panelist on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday and acted as an unofficial campaign strategist for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Matthews argued that Hillary “has to be herself. And this whole thing about positioning is why people hate politicians. If Hillary Clinton is a lefty, I didn't know it, okay. She’s not a lefty. She is a centrist politician, a…
