Just posted to MRC.org this Memorial Day, the latest edition of MRC's Notable Quotables newsletter, recounting the most outrageous quotes from the liberal media. This week: the media warn that "voters will punish" Republicans if they "overplay their hand" and actually investigate the multiple scandals swirling around the Obama administration. At the same time, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell…

CBS's Face the Nation Sunday spent fifteen minutes discussing climate change and amongst other things its impact on tornadoes - in particular the EF-5 that hit Moore, Oklahoma, last week. As not one global warming skeptic was invited to participate in the panel, I've taken the liberty of getting opinions from some of the leaders on the realist side of the debate (video follows with commentary…

When you see Hillary Clinton, do you think of Scarlett Johansson? Or Reese Witherspoon? According to Britain's Independent, the director of the upcoming 2016 biopic "Rodham" does:

"If she decides to run, I would walk across the country to get her into office." So said Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Michael Bolton about Hillary Clinton during an interview with HuffPost Live Friday.

Imagine if Newtown, Connecticut massacre perpetrator Adam Lanza had lived and gone on to get convicted of the 26 murders he committed. Further, imagine, post-conviction, that his attorney claimed that "things went a little awry" that day. There would be no containing the outrage, or the establishment press coverage. Kermit Gosnell attorney Jack McMahon was interviewed on Wednesday by Fox News…

Former United States Senator and Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole had some harsh words for the current White House resident Sunday. During an interview on Fox News Sunday, when host Chris Wallace asked him what he thought of Barack Obama, Dole replied, “Great golfer.”

On the top of The Washington Post’s front page Saturday was a story by Lena Sun on Maryland “seeks to expand [ahem, price] control of hospitals.” At the bottom of the front page of Metro Saturday was another Lena Sun story: “Md. abortion clinic lapses unrelated to patient death.” Sun omitted the name of the 29-year-old dead woman (Jennifer Morbelli), but politely allowed the state of…

MTV is always crossing the boundaries of taste to build a “buzz” around their youth-oriented shows. On Tuesday night's episode of their “reality” show "Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life," the sleazy pop singer decided to urinate into a plastic bottle in front of her friends on a car trip and take a sip.

As NewsBusters has been reporting, CBS's Bob Schieffer has been coming down hard on the Obama administration in recent weeks. That continued Sunday when the Face the Nation host delivered a special commentary wherein he said that Attorney General Eric Holder heading the review of his department "so deeply involved" in the leaks investigation scandal "makes no sense to me" (video follows with…

In case you didn't get the gist of President Obama's Thursday speech at National Defense University, the AP's Robert Burns boiled it down on Saturday, perhaps supportively: "OBAMA REFOCUSES TERROR THREAT TO PRE-9/11 LEVEL." That leaves one annoying detail Burns and Obama ignore: The "pre-9/11 threat level" wasn't that much different from the threat level during the first few years after 9/11…

MSNBC political analyst Michael Eric Dyson on Saturday called Virginia Republican lieutenant governor nominee E.W. Jackson a "black puppet...His mouth is moving but white supremacist ideology is floating through it." Such occurred on the Ed Show (video follows with transcript and commentary):
