David Limbaugh Column: Obama Administration's Repeated Abuses Are Exte

Every day, we get a new kick in the gut from the Obama administration. Most recently, Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 Administrator Al Armendariz was caught on video articulating his view of the agency's role in enforcing its regulations. Armendariz said: "It was kind of like how the Romans used to, you know, conquer villages in the Mediterranean. They'd go into a little Turkish town…

Bashir Falsely Claims British and Spanish Recessions Are ‘Romney-Rya

There ought to be a law against newscasters blatantly lying to the public. On Monday, MSNBC's Martin Bashir falsely claimed the economic plans put forth by Great Britain and Spain are "the Romney-Ryan budget in action...almost exactly, word for word" without informing his viewers that those countries raised taxes to fight their deficits (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Wisconsin Unemployment Falls; NBC Hypes Job Losses 'Many Blame' on Sco

Despite Wisconsin's unemployment rate being well below the national rate and steadily falling, on Saturday's NBC Nightly News correspondent Ron Allen selectively hyped job losses: "With the protesters serenading Wisconsin's Governor Scott Walker and urging voters to recall him from office June 5th, the state's job losses add to the list of grievances.

CBS Gives Krugman Platform to Bash Austerity, Call For More Spending

On Monday, CBS This Morning gave leftist New York Times columnist Paul Krugman a platform to promote his new book and to spout his usual prescription of massive government spending. Krugman also bashed Mitt Romney: "He's going to make Herbert Hoover look good by comparison."

EPA Official Resigns After 'Crucify Them' Remarks -- Networks Ignored

AP reports that EPA bureaucrat Al Armendariz has resigned after “Republicans targeted him” over his 2010 remarks on videotape comparing the agency’s enforcement strategy to Roman crucifixions. This was a hot story in conservative circles, but what about the liberal media? This resignation didn’t come from their coverage. The crucifixion remarks – exposed on Wednesday by Sen. Jim Inhofe –…

AP Won't Let Go of 'Government Budget-Cutting' As Reason For Tepid Fir

On Friday evening, it was Christopher Rugaber and Paul Wiseman. Today it's Martin Crutsinger. Together with Derek Kravitz (who isn't in on the latest offense -- yet), perhaps the just-named quartet of alleged journalists should be named "The Four Distortsmen." Today, it was Crutsinger who, in the wake of a mediocre report on consumer spending, again invoked "government budget-cutting as the…

Crass WashPost Humorist: Protest the Supreme Court by Defecating in Fr

Left-wing Washington Post humorist Gene Weingarten is no stranger to NewsBusters criticism. From calling the Tea Party "A posse of ignoramuses" to fantasizing about bludgeoning Ron Paul-supporting folk singer Arlo Guthrie, we've called Weingarten out on his unfunny forays into slamming conservatives and libertarians who don't share his liberal politics. Well, this weekend Weingarten topped…

Robert Traynham Points out Pay Inequality in Obama White House

On the April 30 edition of NOW with Alex Wagner, panelist Robert Traynham had the courage to confront the liberal panel on the Left's hypocrisy on a gender "pay gap" and the so-called War on Women.  The panel took off in typical liberal fashion with Wagner criticizing Mitt Romney and all Republicans for showing a lack of empathy about how women's median pay in America is about 77 percent of the…

At TIME 100 Gala, Colbert Jokes Cardinal Has Viagra as 'Celibacy Plus

At their Time 100 gala, Time magazine brought shameless Stephen Colbert up for some laughs. Instead, Colbert made some vulgar remarks about Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who also made the Time 100 list. Citing unnamed critics, Colbert  joked that if the Catholic Church's insurance does not cover Sandra Fluke's birth control, "it shouldn't cover Cardinal Dolan's Viagra." What? Colbert then doubled…

NYTimes's Trip Gabriel Still Finds Romney Has Big 'Problem With Hispan

New York Times reporter Trip Gabriel is still searching out electoral problems for Republicans among Hispanics: "Crucial to Romney, Florida’s Latino Voters Are Wary of Him, Too." If Mitt Romney is to overcome his problem with Hispanic voters, he is going to have to start by changing a lot of minds in central Florida. A key battleground in a vital swing state, the region is home to growing…

'Homophobic? Maybe You're Gay,' 'We Are All Nuns,' More Left-Wing Fodd

Under the stewardship of Andrew Rosenthal (infamous for accusing House Speaker John Boehner of racism for asking President Obama to delay a speech to Congress for a day) the New York Times's Sunday Review section is devolving into a hard-left opinion page. Last week's Sunday Review fully fulfilled its lefty promise, aided by Times columnists Nicholas Kristof and Maureen Dowd, who chose the…

NBC's Curry to Obama's Sister: 'What Void Do You Think You Filled In H

In a fawning interview with Barack Obama's half-sister Auma Obama on Monday's NBC Today, co-host Ann Curry lobbed softballs about the President: "...you describe an almost instantaneous connection when you met your brother Barack Obama. Can you describe why, how, you made this instantaneous connection?...What void do you think you filled in his life?" Citing Auma's new memoir, "And Then Life…
