WaPo: Liberal, Profane Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber A ‘Superhero,’ ‘R

Now here’s a Christian the Washington Post can love: profanity-fluent liberal Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber. And she’s coming to Washington, D.C. Nov. 5, as advertised by the Post’s Michelle Boorstein. From the beginning of her long (1,798 words) Nov. 4 article, Boorstein gushed over Bolz-Weber as a “superhero from Planet Alternative Christian” and enthused that the Lutheran pastor’s “liberal,…

Dan Rather Whines to AP About Being Excluded from CBS JFK Specials

AP media reporter David Bauder seems shocked that CBS would exclude Dan Rather from their gaudy 50th anniversary coverage of JFK’s assassination, “further proof of the lingering bitterness following Rather's messy exit and subsequent lawsuit against the network.” The same man who thinks he’s never been wrong about the phony documents he launched against George W. Bush announced "I held off…

This morning, in an apparent rush to get a jump on the rest of the excuse-making establishment press, Aamer Madhani at USA Today claimed that President Barack Obama's shameless, lame Monday night attempt to explain away his serial guarantee, namely that "If you like your health insurance plan, you can keep your health insurance plan, period" — made roughly two dozen times in 2009 and 2010, and…

CBS: White House Granted Itself Waiver to Launch ObamaCare Website Wit

As NewsBusters has been reporting, CBS News has been one of the press outlets totally willing to expose the disaster that is the ObamaCare rollout.

Duh! Guns & Ammo Editor Supports Gun Control Based on Ludicrous Misint

If thou art privy to thy country's fate, Which, happily, foreknowing may avoid, O, speak! ---Hamlet. Quick! Someone get in touch with the editor of Guns & Ammo magazine, Dick Metcalf, and let him know that "happily" as used in the early 17 century by William Shakespeare does not mean "happy" but "perhaps."

Diversity of Views at Fox News: Geraldo Rivera Proclaims 'I'm for Sing

Who says the Fox News Channel is all conservatives? Sometimes, its employees are socialists who want America to be more like Sweden. Take Geraldo Rivera on his radio show on Friday. When a caller complained he wasn't extolling the positives of Obamacare, he said the program is “deeply flawed” because “we let the insurance industry write the legislation,” when he prefers a “single payer”…
