When it comes to liberals standing up to indefensible rhetoric from others on the Left, the Daily Beast's Jamelle Bouie illustrates how NOT to do it. Oh, sure, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) was wrong to compare the Tea Party with the KKK but "it would be needless political correctness to dismiss the Tea Party as completely unrelated to the Klan, or at least, the reactionary currents that gave it…

With its hippie origins, it probably shouldn't be surprising that Rolling Stone magazine thinks that a responsible journalist recognizes that "right-wing extremists" are truth-deprived, and should therefore be censored out of the conversation. In the October 24 edition of the magazine, leftist historian Sean Wilentz wrote an article on "Right-wing extremism and the lessons of history."…

Modern Family boasts a trifecta of celebrities in this week's episode.

As NewsBusters reported, the media were practically orgasmic last week when Hillary Clinton stepped into politics endorsing Terry McAuliffe for governor of Virginia. Will they give similar coverage to a speech Clinton gave at the University of Buffalo Wednesday which was interrupted by a man in the audience screaming, "Benghazi, Benghazi, you let them die!" (videos follow with commentary):

You might find this surprising, but the liberal media didn't always hate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx.). Quite the contrary, Newsweek in July 1999 listed Cruz among its 20 "young Latinos to watch" in 2000:

In 2003, Halliburton Company received a great deal of scrutiny from the establishment press over certain no-bid contracts obtained in connection with the Iraq War. Examples, two of which are from the Associated Press, are here, here, and here. A Google News Archive Search on "Halliburton no-bid" not in quotes allegedly returns 1,760 items (Google's counter is suspect, but the list extends to at…

Nice to see he's getting so much of their attention. The brilliant retired doctor, author and public speaker Ben Carson has made quite a name for himself in the last few years. Even better, his foes are exactly the people you don't want on your side during a fight. An example of how Carson is getting under the skin of all the right people could be heard on Al Sharpton's radio show Monday. (…

Beware leftist bloggers and tweeters who are dumb enough to link to this website: The Duffel Blog and its report "Rush Limbaugh Calls Troops ‘Welfare Queens, Moochers’." For the appearance of facticity, “Dick Scuttlebutt” reported “The comments came during Limbaugh’s second hour on Monday.” But on Monday, Limbaugh was "under the weather" and guest host Mark Steyn was on the air. Daily Kos was…

It looks like Fox News's revised lineup is a hit with viewers. On Tuesday, FNC almost doubled the combined total viewers of CNN and MSNBC achieving its best ratings since recent changes that included the addition of Megyn Kelly to primetime.

Some media figures just can’t let go of the idea that opposition to ObamaCare is fueled by hatred of the president himself. On Wednesday’s The Cycle, co-host Toure engaged in some Matthewsian ranting against opponents of the health care law. Near the end of a roundtable discussion about the failures of Healthcare.gov, Toure redirected everyone’s attention to what he saw as the major issue: […

NewsBusters readers are likely aware that Congressman Alan Grayson (D-Fl.) recently sent out a fundraising letter equating the Tea Party with the Ku Klux Klan. Appearing on Newsmax TV’s Steve Malzberg Show Wednesday, Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fl.) denounced Grayson while saying of the media’s lack of coverage of this matter, “If that was a Republican or a conservative of course, they’d be…

Talk about calling a spade a spade. On MSNBC's NOW Wednesday, PBS's Jeff Greenfield called host Alex Wagner as well as the MSNBC contributors on the panel - David Corn, Joy Reid, and Katrina vanden Heuvel - "advocates" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

 According to Chris Matthews, conservatives have gone from wanting to kidnap babies to "killing" them. On October 1, the Hardball anchor insisted that Barack Obama "will not give up his baby" to pro-shutdown conservatives such as Ted Cruz. On Tuesday, still angry over the partial-government closure, the anchor fumed, "Today and in the future, Cruz will be remembered as the one who ignited the…

On the air, MSNBC is doing its best to level some criticism of the disastrous rollout of ObamaCare but to principally deflect blame to, who else, Republicans. But the Lean Forward network's website today actually published an item headlined, "Left burned in Obamacare rollout." "President Obama might have said on Monday that 'no one is more frustrated' than he is about the messy launch of his…
