On Monday's NBC Today, correspondent Mara Schiavocampo offered a fawning report on the 20th anniversary of the popular children's show, Bill Nye, The Science Guy, describing its host as "Part teacher, part crusader." A sound bite followed of Nye declaring: "Climate change is happening." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump] While Schiavocampo started by describing the…

One would think that a lawyer like Joe Scarborough would refrain himself from making irresponsible statements surrounding the Trayvon Martin case. Unfortunately, it appears as though MSNBC’s pseudo-conservative is incapable of being reasonable, suggesting that in the wake of Trayvon Martin’s death, white potheads are fair game for murder. Appearing on the July 22 Morning Joe, Scarborough…

Update, July 24: In audio found here at my home blog, Zimmerman attorney Mark O'Mara, in a Tuesday discussion with New York talk show host Steve Malzberg, confirmed the accuracy of the "iced tea myth"-related details in this post and in Bill Whittle's video. Among the more outrageous aspects of the press's negligent coverage of the circumstances surrounding the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman…

Ever wonder what a "Princess Boy" does in the summer? Apparently, if the Boy Scouts aren't gay enough for him, he can grab his tiara and head off to transgender camp, where he can share his pink nail polish and sequined tutus with other gender-bending boys. According to Slate.com, such a camp actually exists where boys can "redefine gender," and photographer Lindsay Morris has followed it…

As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry actually put on tampon earrings Sunday as a pro-abortion stunt aimed at the Texas state legislature. This evoked quite a response from our dear friend Dennis Miller who tweeted, "Melissa Harris-Perry should only be allowed to do her show once a month for 5 days":

Viewers watching ABC, CBS and NBC over the past year would have seen six times as many upbeat stories about the Motor City economy and recovery, vs. negative stories about the looming fiscal crisis.

Congratulations are in order for our friends at the Shirley & Banister public-relations firm for being hailed as “Pitch-Perfect Conservatives” in Monday’s Style section in The Washington Post. If you can get a liberal paper to hail you as “very, very good,” you look very good indeed. But the Post account by Krissah Thompson also used the “very conservative” label to define Reaganites and…

The Washington Post knows how to downplay scandalous news when it’s about the children of other D.C. journalists. In Sunday’s Metro section, they published a story blandly headlined “Northwest residents on edge over vandalism.” Someone’s been scratching or gouging cars, even with swastikas. “The suspect, the son of a prominent Washington journalist, has not been charged with the more…

Talk about your America-hating media members. On the final episode of the syndicated Chris Matthews Show Sunday, Andrew Sullivan actually said that - to laughter from many in the studio - “with any luck,” America won’t be a superpower in 20 years (video follows with transcript and commentary):

The TalkLeft blog noted last night that the American Civil Liberties Union, after encouraging U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to pursue civil rights charges against George Zimmerman the day after he was acquitted in the death of Trayvon Martin, reversed course just four days later. Though it's no longer available at its national web site, the Associated Press ran the organization's press…

On Sunday, NewsBusters wondered how much heat PBS's Tavis Smiley would get for making negative comments about Barack Obama. The answer came quickly when MSNBC's Toure Neblett tweeted, "Tavis gets value out of being the Prez of the Black Haters of Obama Club. Example: without that he wouldn't have been on MeetThePress today":

New York Times contributor (and long-time Washington Post political reporter) Thomas Edsall unloaded the usual liberal take on the “Opinionator” blog. He asked “Has the G.O.P. Gone Off the Deep End?” (The usual media-elite answer: We sure hope so.) His proof is a George Pataki aide getting ready to leave the GOP if it won’t pass an amnesty bill. Edsall, as a member of the dinosaur media,…

Are there absolutely no standards of decency at MSNBC? On Sunday, in a bizarre protest of the Texas state legislature, Melissa Harris-Perry actually put on a pair of tampon earrings in the middle of her program (video follows with transcript and commentary):

CBS's Bob Schieffer got a much-needed lesson in recent history Sunday. During a Face the Nation discussion with House Speaker John Boehner (R-Oh.), after the host wrongly claimed sequester was "the creation of Congress," Boehner interrupted him saying, "That's wrong. Who insisted on the sequester? The President of the United States" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
