Arch-Lib Al Hunt: 'Obama’s Syria Meanderings Border on Incompetence
If President Barack Obama is losing Al Hunt, there is definitely trouble in Lefty-land.
But let's not go too far. In the midst of leveling criticisms at Obama as "bordering on incompetence," the former host of CNN's Capital Gang and executive editor at Bloomberg News, who is now a Bloomberg View columnist and host of a Bloomberg TV's Political Capital Sunday news show, cited three examples of…

ABC: 'Potentially Groundbreaking' Syria Deal' 'Taking Heat' From 'Pres
According to the reporters on Monday's Good Morning America, Barack Obama's "potentially groundbreaking" plan for Syria faces "heat" from critics who think it's a "bad deal." In a shift from last week, ABC allowed more skepticism for the President's handling of the ongoing situation. Yet, Jon Karl still touted, "John Kerry accomplished a big first step. Getting [Russia] to agree that Syria…

Henry Winkler on DC Shootings: Avoiding Gun Control 'How We Roll Until
It was a metaphysical certitude that liberal media members would use Monday's tragic shootings at the Washington, D.C., Navy Yard as another call for stricter gun control laws.
Quickly out of the box was Henry Winkler, aka The Fonz, who snarked via Twitter, "PLEASE America do nothing to promote gun control .because thats how we roll until we have all shot each other":

WashPost Sneers at Benghazi Hearings as a 'Promised Fall Assault' on O
The Washington Post is being incredibly transparent: it hates hearings into Benghazi. Who needs accountability when our diplomatic posts lack security? The Post portrays this as a partisan exercise. But the very partisan Post has openly worried in its news pages about how the terror attack there will complicate Hillary Clinton’s reputation.
On Monday morning, Post editor Karen DeYoung was…

MSNBC's Hayes: Tea Party 'Broke' Washington to 'Impose Economic Suffoc
On Friday's All In show, MSNBC host Chris Hayes asserted that "Washington is broken because the Tea Party broke it," adding that the Tea Party strategy on changing the budget process was to "impose economic suffocation." Hayes:

TIME Uses Cover to Shield Obama From Negative Press Magazine Gave Him
There are times when the media's liberal bias is so obvious it's nauseating.
Take TIME magazine for example which used the cover of its September 16 issue to blatantly shill for President Obama.

Fort Hood 2009? CNN Anchor Can't Remember the Last Shooting at 'U.S. M
<<UPDATED BELOW>> During CNN's live coverage of Monday's shooting at the Washington Navy Yard, anchor Carol Costello asked when the last time was that a gunman wreaked "havoc at a U.S. military facility." In 2009, a jihadist killed 13 in a mass-shooting at Fort Hood in Texas.
"I used to work in Washington, live in Washington. This seems so unusual to me that a gunman could…

In Writing 'Obama Loses the Media,' Politico's Byers Admits Establishm
Thanks, Dylan Byers. You've done those who recognize liberal establishment press bias as an irrefutable reality a big favor.
The Politico media reporter's lengthy excerpt from a longer column — I'd call it a "tease," but it's 14 paragraphs — is entitled "Obama Loses the Media." That means Obama has had 'em in his pocket until now. The rumors of permanent loss are likely exaggerated. Several…

WashPost's Greg Sargent Is Laughably Off the Mark on Conservatives in
Cross-posted from RedState | Poor Greg Sargent. If it isn’t enough that the DNC has its hand up his posterior controlling him muppet style, he’s all sore over this post of mine pointing out the collaborative nexus between Democrats, liberal groups, and the supposed objective media.
Sargent is convinced — CONVINCED I tell you — that this is some sort of definitive take down of my post.

MSNBC's Wolffe: Obama Campaign Didn't Have 'Balls' To Tell Stephanie C
"You tell her. No, YOU tell her!" . . . Richard Wolffe says that in 2012 an all-male group of senior Obama campaign people got together at a White Sox game and decided to fire deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter—but didn't have the "balls" to tell her.
Maybe so. Then again, Wolffe—appearing on Morning Joe today to tout his new book on the Obama re-election campaign—also claimed that…

WashPost Humorist Would Love to Mock Obama, But Chooses Instead to Moc
Washington Post humorist Gene Weingarten has again demonstrated that he really cannot mock his hero Barack Obama. In his latest failed attempt on Sunday, he began with a throwaway line about Obama’s “Nixonian hissy fits against leakers and whistleblowers,” but his heart wasn’t in it.
Instead, he devoted the column to a crank e-mailer named Duane Steil, and how he passes along bizarre…

Huh? Politico's Allen Claims 'Obama Was Led Into Asking Congress For A
In a bizarre writeup which alternates between harsh criticism and a pity party about President Barack Obama's "toughness" or lack thereof in the wake of the withdrawal of Larry Summers from consideration as the next head of the Federal Reserve, Politico's Jonathan Allen unleashed a ridiculous assertion about the history of the administration's Syrian adventure: "In another debate that never…

AP Continues Pattern of Hyping Reduction of Still Historically High De
One thing which is almost as reliable as the sun rising in the east is the Associated Press, aka the Adminstration's Press, putting a better face on the federal government's fiscal situation than it deserves when a Democrat is in the White House. Almost as reliable is the arrival in a related report of some kind of statement about spending cuts which describes them as "deep," "steep," or some…
