Reporters Laugh at Serious Question to Nancy Pelosi About Gosnell, Abo

Most press conferences are very serious affairs, with reporters seeking important information to distribute to the public about a wide variety of issues.

Former Interns Say New Yorker, Condé Nast Paid Less Than $1 Per Hour

Judging from a recent lawsuit filing, it would appear that Condé Nast Publications, owner of many well-known magazines, has a serious case of Algoreitis: preaching liberalism as a philosophy for everyone else but not living it themselves. Earlier today, two former interns, one of whom worked at the New Yorker and another who worked at W Magazine, filed a lawsuit against the big media…

Coulter Column: If the GOP Falls for 'Immigration Reform' Ruse, It Des

Democrats terrify Hispanics into thinking they'll be lynched if they vote for Republicans, and then turn around and taunt Republicans for not winning a majority of the Hispanic vote. This line of attack has real resonance with our stupidest Republicans. (Proposed Republican primary targets: Sens. Kelly Ayotte, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio.) Which explains why Republicans are…

WashPost Gives Free Publicity to Liberal Think Tank's Tax-heavy Plan t

The Washington Post's Jim Tankersley today gave the George Soros-funded liberal Center for American Progress (CAP) 14 paragraphs of puffy coverage devoted to CAP's tax-heavy plan "aimed at recharging the U.S. economy."

Chris Matthews: Weird Gun People Are Not 'Normal,' 'Obsessed,' Racist

In a segment on Thursday's Hardball, the cable host played a new National Rifle Association ad attacking Democratic Senator Joe Manchin. Matthews lectured, "The gun people, they think about nothing else. And they never change their minds, never change their attitudes and never…

CNN Hypes GOP Congressman's Remark on Rape and Pregnancy; Brings Up To

CNN tarred the Romney campaign with Todd Akin's infamous "legitimate rape" comment, and now it is trying to do the same to Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) for making a much less controversial remark on rape and pregnancy. Franks, referring to a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks, and arguing that no exception should be made for pregnancies from rape, claimed that "the incidents of rape…

Slate Feminist Whips Out the Nazi Card Against Pro-life Republican

On June 11, Slate editor Emily Bazelon whipped out the Nazi card against Congressman Trent Franks.  The media site, which is an affiliate of the Washington Post, unsurprisingly went after the Republican legislator for his remarks about rape on Wednesday concerning a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks into a pregnancy. Of course, liberals tried to tie these remarks to Todd Akin, who…

Smear Patrol: Cheerios Ad Flap Used to Slime Conservatives

It may never occur to liberals that crying wolf ad infinitum where racism doesn't exist makes actual examples less likely to be believed. The claim has been so abused by the left since this allegedly racist country elected a man of color as president in 2008, then re-elected him four years later, that it is more often met now with skepticism instead of revulsion.
