Saints Player Dumped Off CNN As He Discusses Ferguson Facebook Post

A week ago, New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson put up a Facebook post reacting to events in Ferguson, Missouri. It has generated an astonishing 825,000 likes and 458,000 shares as of 1 PM ET today. As will be seen later, CNN's print report on Watson's post by Steve Almasy treated the player's references to sin, Jesus Christ, and the Gospel as if they were potentially toxic.…

The 7 Craziest Things Chris Rock Told New York Magazine

Chris Rock used to be a funny actor and stand-up comic. But in recent years he’s seems to have taken on the role of full-time apologist for President Obama, his failing policies and the ideology that informs them.

The Washington Post claims to be a newspaper that can find and report the conflict in today’s public square. But the Post and cub reporter T. Rees Shapiro couldn’t find one angry person who was delayed for half an hour by a human chain of protesters across Interstate 395 in Washington, DC. Shapiro could only find people who thought it laudable, reasonable, or even a learning experience:

Yawn: ABC, NBC Ignore Latest ObamaCare Stumble

ObamaCare has yet another problem, but one wouldn't know it from the networks. ABC and NBC on Monday ignored a new Washington Post report finding that small businesses are not embracing the President's health care law. CBS This Morning covered the story, but only for a scant 15 seconds.

The Media Messes Up the Lede

As we’ve often discussed, the Tech World Media is just as hopelessly Leftist and lost as the broader Jurassic Press. They so often get it so very wrong - often because their absurd political perspective warps their alleged “reporting.”  Saturday gave us two additional exquisite examples - one each in Politico (henceforth Pathetico) and The Hill.

Scarborough Rips Media 'Cowards' Spewing 'BS' About Ferguson

As Seton Motley, the former MRCer now head of Less Government said in bringing Joe Scarborough's comments to our attention: "credit when it's due."  Because the Morning Joe host had the guts today to speak truth to MSM power, including people at his own network, over the liberal media's cowardly, misleading coverage of Ferguson.

NPR Still Pushing the 'Red Scare' -- With Actual Communists

The leftist phrase “Red scare” is meant to imply a political paranoia that caused people to be falsely charged with communist espionage. But even today, leftist media outlets like National Public Radio use “Red scare” even as  they admit the people involved were communists trying to aid the Soviet Union. On Saturday’s Weekend Edition, NPR anchor Scott Simon proved again that they never tire of…

CNN 'Breaks' Months-Old News About Brown Family's 'Expert'

The establishment press's performance in Ferguson has certainly been disgraceful, especially its role in turning one local death into a national obsession. One element of that buildup involves Shawn Parcells, one of two men hired by the family of Michael Brown, the 18 year-old man who was killed in an altercation with Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in early August, to look into his death…

Obama Mocks Chuck Todd Book: 'He's Just Sad'

It was Small Business Saturday yesterday – and to show appreciation to small businesses (the same businesses he’s helped to quell growth or put out of business thanks to his “Affordable Care Act”), Obama took his daughters, Malia and Sasha, shopping at the liberal Politics & Prose book store in Washington, DC (owned by two former Washington Post reporters).
