Ex-MSNBC Host Actually Claims Network Was 'Never Left Wing TV'
This young man might have a bright future in comedy, providing he doesn't mind that people laugh only when he's not kidding.
You might remember Cenk Uygur -- pronounced "Jenk U-Gur" -- hosting an evening show on MSNBC for several months in 2011 after the network booted Keith Olbermann within weeks of the Tucson massacre, when liberals like Olbermann blamed Sarah Palin for creating a sulfuric "…
RNC's Spicer Charges Media Showing Liberal Bias in Giuliani Coverage
Ever since former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani stated on Thursday that “I do not believe that the president loves America,” the people in the “mainstream media” have produced more than 8,000 articles on the comment -- which was made at a private Manhattan dinner for 60 or so political donors -- in just a few days.
That led Sean Spicer, communications director for the Republican National…
Mike Barnicle: Giuliani is a ‘Nut Boy’ Putting On a 'Clown Act'
After careful consideration, Mike Barnicle has figured out why Giuliani questioned President Obama’s patriotism. In an article for the Daily Beast, Barnicle says Giuliani questioned Obama’s love for the nation, not for the reasons he clearly outlined, but because he is a “nut boy” full of “bitterness and a contempt that borders on hate” who engaged in an “off-the-cliff assault” against the…
Blogger: GOP Base’s ‘Free-Floating Paranoia’ a Problem For Walker
Jonathan Chait, Paul Waldman, and Amanda Marcotte each discuss how the Wisconsin governor and probable presidential candidate has responded to recent questions about issues including evolution, Obama’s religious beliefs, and Obama’s patriotism, as well as how his answers might play with the “paranoid” Republican base that thinks, in Waldman’s words, that “Obama is The Other, an alien presence…
Wall Street Journal Oddly Tries to Identify 'Moderate Islamists'
Even the Wall Street Journal news pages can get caught in the politically correct labeling games that mar so much of today's reporting -- especially when it comes to Islam. Case in point: Friday's story about Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, complete with big headline and large photo, occupying the whole top third of the back page of the front section. The article explored Western…
Entertainment Weekly Writer Slams Conservative Criticism of Oscars
Entertainment Weekly's Anthony Breznican blasted conservatives on Monday's CNN Tonight for criticizing actress Patricia Arquette for her politicized acceptance speech at the Oscars. Breznican actually went after Don Lemon for stating that "winners and presenters bring their often-liberal-leaning political and social issues to the ceremony." Breznican asserted: "I can't really think of anything…
ABC Bored By Persecution of Christians, Thrilled By Dancing Show
The torture and persecution of Christians by Islamic terrorists is terribly boring for the networks. ABC's Good Morning America offered a scant 33 seconds to the kidnapping on Monday of 90 Christians from Syria by ISIS. Despite a four hour run-time, NBC's Today didn't even cover the story. What's important for the hosts of GMA? On Tuesday, they deluged viewers with almost 21 minutes of coverage…
ESPN Suspends Olbermann for Trash-Tweeting PSU Fundraising Effort
The public-relations time bomb that is Keith Olbermann went off this week, pushing ESPN to suspend the left-wing sports journalist from the air.
Stay classy, Keith.
Unlike Former Boss CBS, Katie Couric Asks Axelrod About Romney Smear

Gasp! Actual CNN Headline - 'Dems Block DHS Funding Bill'
CNN is clearly desperate for higher ratings when they go out of their way to appear balanced and accurate.
The network's website, CNN.com, ran an astonishing headline last night -- "Dems block DHS funding bill." Yes, you read that correctly. It was caught by Jason Howerton, a reporter at TheBlaze, who posted a story titled "The Headline for the Lead Story on CNN Website Leaves Some Wondering…
Entertainment News Bashes Conservative Actress Stacey Dash
Apparently the celebrity suck-ups at Access Hollywood and E! are not fans of those few celebrities who actually think for themselves. After Patricia Arquette’s speech at the Academy Awards condemning the supposed “wage gap” and inequality of women in the U.S., she was met with a standing ovation from the crowd and fawning support from the liberal media for her on-stage comments. But not everyone…
Networks Continue Using Terror Threat to Pressure GOP on DHS Funding
Continuing to hype a possible "shutdown" of the Homeland Security Department if Congress did not approve funding by Friday, Tuesday's network morning shows all seized on White House talking points that any delay in funding would threaten national security and placed blame for the budget impasse squarely on Republicans.
San Jose Mercury News: Global Warming Could Ruin Surfing
In an article chock full of "could" and computer model projections, the San Jose Mercury News speculates in its headline, "Climate change may flatten Santa Cruz's famed surfing waves." Key word is "may" since it also may not. However, this doesn't prevent reporter James Urton from engaging in extreme conjecture about surf conditions in a century while computer model projections are often unable…
Chris Matthews on GOP: They 'Hate,' 'Hate,' 'Hate,' 'Hate' Obama!
In case he's been too subtle in the past, an unhinged Chris Matthews made himself clear on Monday: He thinks the Republicans "hate" Barack Obama. The Hardball anchor fumed over insufficient outrage at Rudy Giuliani's assertion that Obama doesn't "love America." In the span of one show, he hit Republicans as "haters" seven times.
