Jesse Myerson, Occupy 'Leader' Turned Far-Left Rolling Stone 'Journali

It's hard to know what's more ridiculously entertaining when choosing between Jesse A. Myerson's "Five Economic Reforms Millennials Should Be Fighting For," the illogical screed in Rolling Stone which would lead to the enslavement of those about whom he claims to be concerned, or Myerson's tweets as the opprobrium has poured in. Since Noel Sheppard at NewsBusters has handled Myerson's…

Boston Globe's Jeff Jacoby Offers Four New Year's Resolutions to Stop

Conservative Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby has offered some New Year’s resolutions for the news business. He began by noting legendary columnist H. L. Mencken in his day at the Baltimore Sun said he was hard-pressed to to name five papers that conducted themselves as fairly and honestly “as the average nail factory.” “If Mencken were alive today, would his opinion of the news business…

On Deadspin.com, Ex-Viking Punter Chris Kluwe Hopes His Old Coach Is B

Former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe wrote an inflammatory post for Deadspin.com headlined "I Was An NFL Player Until I Was Fired By Two Cowards And A Bigot." He claims he was released for his "gay rights activism," his wild rants and tweets against social conservatives. The “cowards” were Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier and GM Rick Spielman.

Rolling Stone: America Should Replace Capitalism With Socialism

The next time you wonder just how far to the left Rolling Stone magazine is, consider that in its first issue of the new year, it actually published an article calling for capitalism to be totally abolished in America and replaced with a socialist structure wherein people didn't need to work, all assets were taken over by the government, and redistributed to the masses. Fasten your seatbelts…

Hurray? 'Savvy Fiat Scooped Up Chrysler (From Obama) For A Song

In Friday’s USA Today, columnist James Healey celebrated how "Savvy Fiat scooped up Chrysler for a song.” There was no effort to explain why Team Obama would sink billions into a Chrysler bailout so it could help an Italian carmaker prosper. “Fiat's agreement to buy the remaining 41.5% to own all of Chrysler reeks of financial savvy,” wrote Healey. “Fiat/Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has…

'Gay Marriage' on Rose Parade Float Skipped by Networks

The Tournament of Roses Parade became the latest stage to spotlight “gay marriage” as two men were joined in secular matrimony on the float of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.  (For those who think AIDS fundraisers aren’t leftist agitators – please consult reality.) Penny Starr at our sister site CNSNews.com reports that ABC News covered the wedding/protest on their website, but ABC and NBC…

Melissa-Harris Perry Cries During On-Air Apology to Romney Family

As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry and a panel of comedians last weekend senselessly mocked a picture of former Governor Mitt Romney’s family because it included his adopted black grandson. Although she’s already apologized on Twitter, Harris-Perry began her show Saturday with a heartfelt apology much of the time fighting through a lump in her throat and tears (…

Bozell Column: Sarah Silverman's Insult Act Gets Old

Sarah Silverman celebrated Christmas in her usual mode: mocking Christians, and religion in general. On Twitter, she wrote “Happy Birthday, Jesus! I'm sorry [you] were murdered by people afraid of new ideas!” Her last HBO special in 2002 was even mockingly titled “Jesus Is Magic.” Her new special was called “We Are Miracles.” Once again in the new show, she made fun of the death of Jesus, as…

Los Angeles Times Skips the I-Word As California Grants Law License to

The Los Angeles Times decided, as one of California’s leading arbiters of political correctness, that they would skip the ironic headline of “Illegal alien wins license to practice law.” That kind of direct language is a bit too honest. The use of the I-word will be banned in all civilized and "inclusive"  forums in the future, and this may mark the beginning. “California court grants law…

MSNBC’s Touré Insists He’s Living Proof Marijuana Doesn’t Harm

On Friday we learned that New York Times columnist David Brooks does not approve of marijuana legalization on account of his belief that the drug dulls the minds of its habitual users. Sure, that’s what a lot of those pointed-headed scientist types think but why should we listen to them? Instead, we should take the word Touré Neblett, currently an MSNBC pundit and quite possibly one of the…

Vomit Rainbows II: NY Times Again Puffs Up 'Ronan Farrow, Reluctant TV

You can tell the New York Times is going to kiss Ronan Farrow’s ring when the headline on his Sunday magazine profile by Jesse Lichtenstein is “Ronan Farrow, Reluctant TV Star.” One rarely attaches the word “star” to someone rumored to be heading to mid-mornings on MSNBC. Lichtenstein lays it on thick, both about the contours of Farrow’s new “edgy” TV show and about Farrow’s deeply…

AP Uses 'Don't Read This' Headline, Lede-Burying Content as Al Qaeda R

Discouraging headlines are appearing about the deterioration of the situation in Iraq, the war U.S. troops won in 2008. Bloomberg News notes, "Al-Qaeda Fighters Take Fallujah as Iraqi Army Attacks."
