The Washington Post never tires of finding and identifying ultraconservatives. On the front of Sunday’s Arts & Style section was the headline “ENTER, STAGE (FAR) RIGHT: It isn’t at all unusual for Justice Antonin Scalia to be at the center of drama. But actor Edward Gero brings it to a new stage.” The Post writes routinely of ultraliberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg and barely detects an ideology,…

Catching up with an amusing clip played on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live on February 11, which answers the question of what happens when small children encounter their athlete father in a state of undress, displaying a certain piece of protective equipment they’ve never seen before.

A gushing profile of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi in Saturday's New York Times captured reporter Jennifer Steinhauer's typical Democratic slant: "Through It All, Pelosi Keeps House Democrats Moving In One Direction." After being compared to Brett Favre and Cher, Pelosi was sympathetically portrayed by Steinhauer as an underestimated politician "positioned to play vital role for President…

Sharyl Attkisson, the former CBS investigative reporter whose book Stonewalled exposed liberal bias, was interviewed on Newsmax TV’s MidPoint to discuss the current Clinton scandal of conducting State Department business through personal email accounts. Attkisson says this type of conduct fits a certain pattern of federal bureaus to steer clear of official forms of communication in order to cover…

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski’s alarmist rhetoric went code red as she recounted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress. The speech was not the work of a statesman trying to do what he felt best for his country, but a “disappointing and possibly horrifying....hostage situation” that was engineered by the Republicans who “are getting involved in destructive politics, and…

NPR aired a story on how "abortion restrictions complicate access for Ohio women." Jennifer Ludden focused on a Cleveland abortion clinic called Preterm. Abortion advocates complained that pro-lifers were making abortions more dangerous with their restrictions. Nowhere in this story did NPR ever notify their national audience that Lakisha Wilson died from complications caused in the Preterm…

As the issue of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails mushrooms, let’s take a stroll down the media’s memory lane to another time and another scandal and another woman. The scandal, of course, is the Watergate scandal and the role the tapes played in bringing down a presidency.

One of the most discussed articles of the past week was Matthew Yglesias’s Monday piece in Vox contending that this country’s combination of a presidential system and increasing ideological polarization is a recipe for eventual political breakdown (the article was headlined “American democracy is doomed”). New York magazine’s Chait thinks Yglesias overlooked something important. Chait argues that…

Just how impressed is the liberal Alec Baldwin with Bill Clinton? According to the actor, who hosts a radio show in New York called Here's the Thing, Clinton is "like Chuck Yeager to me. You crash that jet fighter and you get out and you're alive. He survived." 

David Corn of mucho-left Mother Jones was the object of considerable ire for going after Bill O'Reilly in what Rush and others saw as attempted tit-for-tat over Brian Williams' inventions.  But credit Corn when it's due: he is now speaking out about how Hillary's camp is in a "defensive crouch" over her email in which Hillary's people have told him and other members of the press things that "are…

Monday night, a Cincinnati-area same-sex "marriage" activist posted on Facebook and tweeted that he had been abducted and was in the trunk of his car. A short time later, police found 20 year-old Adam Hoover and determined that he had (very clumsily) faked his abduction, and would be charged with the crime of "making false claims." In the meantime, news of Hoover's abduction and then its false…

Stocks took a beating yesterday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 279 points. The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ each declined by over one percent. The subject line of a USA Today email I received shortly after the closing bell crystallized the establishment press "wisdom": "Dow plunges nearly 280 points as strong jobs data raises Fed rate hike fears." The problem is that even though the…

Kudos to our colleague Elizabeth Harrington at the Washington Free Beacon. She offers a familiar old slice of sleaze funded by the federal government. An “investigative theatre” company in New York called “The Civilians” has been granted almost $950,000 by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and believe it or not, the National Science Foundation. Its latest creation is a musical about porn…

CNN's chief political analyst Gloria Borger may or may not be spot on in her assessment that the Democrat Party has a bench of one for 2016 and that it may be wise for the Party to put all of their eggs in Hillary Clinton's basket and defend or forgive her on the growing email scandal.  However, her characterization of the disturbing situation whereby Clinton, as Secretary of State in the Obama…
