Hypocritical Ex-DNCer Karen Finney Blasts Priebus Over Debates; In

It’s hardly surprising that MSNBC host and former DNC communications director Karen Finney took issue with Reince Priebus’ campaign against the liberal media on Saturday’s Disrupt. Finney mocked “Reince’s rage” and suggested that the Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman is “full of you know what.” What is surprising is that Finney’s searing critique came despite the fact that she and…

Predictably, PolitiFact NJ Rates ‘Millions Will Die’ Ad as ‘True

Planet earth has been getting cooler, not warmer in the past few years. That’s an objective fact that PolitFact New Jersey omitted in its duplicitous July 22nd “Truth-O-Meter” article giving cover to Rep. Rush Holt’s (D-N.J.) alarmist statements on global warming. Holt is challenging Newark City Mayor Corey Booker in today’s N.J. Democratic primary. In a campaign ad, Holt claimed “millions will…

Hillary's Questionable Handling of Benghazi A Passing Thought For CBS

John Blackstone promoted Hillary Clinton's potential 2016 presidential run on Tuesday's CBS This Morning, and minimized the ongoing questions about her leadership before, during, and after the September 11, 2012 Islamist attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya. For opposition, Blackstone merely noted that "a new ad, just released by the GOP, criticizes Clinton's handling of the terrorist…

Daily Show: 'Matthews Doesn't Just Routinely Have Egg on His Face - He

As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC's Chris Matthews last Wednesday predicted Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) would be the Republican presidential nominee in 2016. On Monday, John Oliver while substitute-hosting Comedy Central's Daily Show marvelously illustrated Matthews' propensity to make horribly wrong predictions concluding, "Chris Matthews doesn't just routinely have egg on his face -…

‘Next Top Model’ Contestants Pose In Objectophilia, Gay, Polygamou

Marriage is anything but traditional – at least according to 'America’s Next Top Model’s' latest episode.

New Conservative TV Host Argues Crime Is Reason Enough to Be Careful A

What do the murder of a 93-year-old woman in South Omaha, Nebraska, and the repeated rape of a 13-year-old girl in Austin, Texas, have in common? Both crimes were committed by people who are in this country illegally and should be deported -- along with all other illegal immigrants -- before a proposed bill in Congress would give them amnesty and allow them to “come out of the shadows” to…

NPR White House Reporter Celebrated How Obama's Avoiding The Media 'Fi

If President Obama were following his 2012 media strategy, his latest appearance with Jay Leno on the Tonight show would have been his last "press conference."

Time Finds Even on Vacation, Slick Willie Loved His Cigar

Time magazine’s Swampland blog decided to assess the vacationing styles of our recent presidents, who are "just like the rest of us." The captions were generally kind without much partisan tilt, but Bill and Hillary Clinton were shown in rear view in a cozy-looking outdoors setting on his-and-hers stumps. “Clinton was never much good at vacationing,” Time reported. “His staff had to…

On Friday, Eric Holder's Department of Justice gave the memory-hole treatment to wildly inflated statistics released last October about the number of cases and the amount of money involved in DOJ's mortgage fraud enforcement efforts.
