CBS Plays Softball with Bill Clinton on Hillary's Future, Global Initi

Charlie Rose and Norah O'Donnell broke out the kid gloves for Bill Clinton on Tuesday's CBS This Morning. Rose and O'Donnell failed to press the Democrat on the possible conflicts of interest surrounding his Clinton Global Initiative, as well as his wife Hillary's possible 2016 presidential run. The two anchors granted over 12 and a half minutes of air time to the former president. Rose…

New HLN President Has Donated $45K to Democrats

Left-wing media critics are continually fond of pointing out Fox News president Roger Ailes's past as a Republican political operative as some sort of indirect proof that his employees are nothing but Republican robots. The fact is, however, that Ailes is a comparative rarity in the TV business coming at it from the political Right. The new president of CNN's HLN channel, Albie Hecht, is a…

CNN Anchor Says Obamacare Defunders 'Lied,' Are 'Holding the American

In a long screed on Tuesday's Tom Joyner Morning Show, CNN's Don Lemon accused "some Republicans" of lying and "holding the American people hostage" over Obamacare. In focusing on Republicans, he glossed over any falsehoods or failed promises made by Democrats and President Obama about Obamacare. "According to FactCheck.org, since 2009 there have been a lot of willing, willful misinformation…

As IPCC Report Looms, AP Frames 'Scientific Consensus': 'Humans Are Co

It's amusing to see how the left reacts when things don't work out as predicted. Earlier today (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), I noted how USA Today's Kelly Kennedy described a major malfunction in Obamacare which will cause hundreds of thousands of children to go without health insurance next year as a "glitch." On the "climate change" front, those darned "glitches" abound. In an item today…

MSNBC Host Nods as Leftist House Member Questions Faith of 'Very Mean

At BillOReilly.com, they’re mocking the MSNBC show “Disrupt with Karen Finney.” A clip from Saturday night’s show (first posted by National Review) is introduced this way: “As an MSNBC host nods approval like a bobblehead doll, Congresswoman Barbara Lee questions the faith of her GOP colleagues.” It was a classic set of ultraliberal rants. Finney proclaimed, “If we're looking for programs…

Cal Thomas Column: It's You Who's the Political Extortionist, Mr. Pres

President Obama pledged to end partisanship, but instead has exacerbated it. He recently accused House Republicans of being extortionists for opposing a raise in the debt ceiling and wanting to defund Obamacare. Dictionary.com defines extortion as "the crime of obtaining money or some other thing of value by the abuse of one's office or authority."

NBC's Al Roker Pals Around With Biden, Jokes About Their 'Bromance

After waiving and yelling like a groupie at President Obama and Vice President Biden back in January, Today weather anchor Al Roker palled around with Biden in a friendly interview that aired on Tuesday's Today show. "You've got a thing. You and the Vice President. You've got a thing," joked co-host Willie Geist. "It's a bromance," responded Roker. "He's terrific. He's terrific." Roker also…

Liberal Opponents of 'Heated Rhetoric' Raise Money with Sarah Silverm

The secular-left group Americans United for Separation for Church and State is rolling out a series of “Voices United” concert events this fall to raise funds. “In these times of increasing fanaticism and heated rhetoric, Americans United needs your support more than ever,” they declare. So it’s a bit surprising that their most famous opponent of “heated rhetoric” and “fanaticism” is…

Beckel: Moderate Muslims are 'Cowards' for Tolerating Islamist Atrocit

Democratic strategist Bob Beckel is often pigeonholed as a token liberal on FOX's late afternoon show "The Five," but yesterday made it emphatically clear that he's no useful idiot for jihadists. Angered by horrific violence against shoppers at a mall in Nairobi and churchgoers in Pakistan, Beckel lashed out at "moderate Muslims" as "cowards" for not confronting extremist militants among…

USAT: Obamacare Causing Hundreds of Thousands of Children to Lose Heal

You have to wonder what it will take for anyone in the establishment press to call out a major malfunction associated with Obamacare for what it really is. The threshold is apparently something worse than hundreds of thousands of children, many of whom previously had coverage, going without health insurance. One of the latest headlined examples of reality avoidance first appeared at USA Today…

MSNBC Allows Dem Strategist to Claim DC Shooter Brought 'Assault Weapo

It's an immutable fact that Aaron Alexis only brought a shotgun to the massacre at the Washington Navy Yard last week. Despite this, MSNBC's Chris Jansing on Monday didn't challenge Democratic strategist Steve McMahon when he claimed on the program bearing her name Alexis "walked in with an assault weapon" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Liberal Media Censoring 'Disgraced IRS Hack' Lois Lerner's Exit from G

Disgraced IRS hack Lois Lerner is getting a taxpayer-funded golden parachute, and the Tea Party-hating liberal media are making sure their hero has a nice soft landing. The news of her retirement and her pension reportedly worth more than $50,000 was censored by ABC, CBS, and NBC. In spite of constantly mounting evidence to the contrary – including some of Lerner’s own emails – the media are…
