Eric Lichtblau of NYTimes Tries Guilt by Association to Tie Wal-Mart t

The April 22 New York Times lead story by investigative reporter David Barstow, using internal company documents to ouline how the retailer Wal-Mart bribed Mexican officials to facilitate their way into the country, had reverberations in the business and political worlds, and also managed to hurt Wal-Mart's stock price, which the paper eagerly noted the next day on the front of the Business…

Occupy-Loving Washington Post Pushes Furnishings for the 1 Percent

There's real paradox in romanticizing squalid, rat infested tents in one section of your publication while in another advising well-heeled readers where to buy a $5,000 Chippendale rug. But such is life at a liberal big-city newspaper. The Washington Post swooned over the Occupy Movement last year, devoting thousands of words and gallons of ink to covering the complaints of the self-…

Overconfident Alec Baldwin Boasts: Obama Win is 'In the Bag

Alec Baldwin is figuratively spiking the football before crossing the endzone. The liberal actor popped up on Tuesday’s edition of The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell to brag about Barack Obama’s chances of victory as he claimed that Republicans are “getting scared” and boasted that the President’s victory is all but “in the bag.” The 30 Rock star also acted as if he had an insight into the…

CNN's Piers Morgan Nudges Dan Rather Into Giving Obama an 'A' on Forei

If it’s a weeknight, it’s Piers Morgan expressing delight at the performance, and perhaps just the mere existence of President Obama. On Tuesday night, he brought on disgraced CBS anchor Dan Rather and asked if he was “impressed” by Obama’s foreign policy, and Rather gave Obama an “A” on the subject. Morgan fussed it was "slightly churlish" for anyone to criticize Obama for taking too much…

David Limbaugh Column: Obama Is Headed Anywhere But Forward

You have to hand it to President Obama and his cabal of re-election strategists; they are masters of illusion. Their newly released Web video and its accompanying campaign slogan, "Forward," are science fiction-level fantastical. We're all familiar with Obama's penchant for deflecting responsibility and blaming his policy failures on George W. Bush, but after more than three years in office…

Networks Huffed Over Bush's 'Presidential Shell Game'; No Complaints f

The same networks that huffed and whined about George W. Bush's secret trip to Iraq over Thanksgiving in 2003, calling it an "embarrassing" "presidential shell game," had no such harsh language for Barack Obama's clandestine visit to Afghanistan on Tuesday. Jake Tapper on Wednesday deemed the visit simply a "surprise." On CBS This Morning, Scott Pelley proclaimed it "remarkable," insisting…

NBC Panelist: Ad Calling Obama A Celebrity 'Another Attempt' to Paint

On Wednesday's NBC Today, panelist and attorney Star Jones fretted over a recent campaign ad mocking President Obama's celebrity status and implied racial overtones in the criticism: "...what worries me is that it's another attempt to paint Obama as an 'other.' You know, they tried that with 'Oh, he ate dog meat when he was a boy.'" [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]…

MSNBC's Jansing Touts Cardinal Dolan for Stance on Immigration, Slams

The liberal media love the Catholic Church when it publicly makes pronouncements that tend to favor liberal Democratic priorities. Not so much when the Church seeks to guard its doctrine and discipline deviations from orthodoxy. So it's no surprise that MSNBC's Chris Jansing touted Cardinal Timothy Dolan this morning for "taking aim at Republicans over immigration policy" only to turn around…

Chris Matthews Compares Obama Speech to Troops in Afghanistan to Henry

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother. I have to wonder how the St. Crispin's Day speech by Henry V as written by William Shakespeare would sound if read from a teleprompter. The reason for this strange speculation is that Chris Matthews yesterday on Hardball compared President Obama's speech to the troops in Afghanistan to…

Rather Purports To Be At Peace, But Suggests Anonymous Partisans Destr

If this is how Dan Rather at peace looks like, wonder what he's like when angry and embittered . . . On Morning Joe today, Rather emphatically alleged that he was "at peace" over the Memogate fiasco that led to the end of his career. But he couldn't help himself from suggesting that his reputation had been destroyed by anonymous partisans employing "lies."  View the video after the jump.

Open Thread: Book Reveals Pelosi Knew About Waterboarding

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has now been formally exposed for lying about her knowledge of so-called enhanced interrogation techniques such as waterboarding by a new book from a former CIA counterterrorism officer who actually gave her a briefing about them. In other words, Pelosi and other congressional Democrats who later decried the use of "torture" when it became politically…

National Media Ignore Would-be Cleveland Terrorists' Occupy Connection

The leaders of the plot to bomb an Ohio highway bridge are members of the "Occupy" movement, but you won't find that information in much of the mainstream media coverage of the story. The FBI arrested five people in a federal sting operation in which FBI agents provided inoperable explosives to suspects allegedly intending to bomb a bridge about 15 miles south of Cleveland. The suspects, …
