John Stossel So Sick Of ABC’s Liberal Bias, He ‘Begged’ Fox to H

Journalist John Stossel left the liberal confines of ABC News "because it sucked there."  The libertarian reporter talked to the Heritage Foundation's Rob Bluey in an interview posted Thursday and exposed the liberal culture at his former network: "They were hostile to these ideas that have made us prosperous and I consider so important." He added that ABC "tolerated" him and his good…

Rob Reiner: It's 'Brain Dead' to Vote for Romney

The Radio Equalizer blog says Hollywood's war on Mitt is already under way. On Wednesday's Stephanie Miller show, they interviewed actor/director Rob Reiner and "how are you enjoying the Insane Clown Posse that is the Republican primary?". Reiner said "you'd have to be brain-dead to vote for Romney." He discussed how Romney's aide said the campaign was like an Etch-a-Sketch and you could wipe…

LifeTime’s ‘The Client List’: Selling Sex, Exploiting Women

Jennifer Love Hewitt is baring it all in her new show “The Client List.” Hewitt stars as Riley Parks, a down-on-her-luck Texan mother who turns to prostitution to deal with financial woes, and the female-oriented network LifeTime is shamelessly plugging sex like there’s no tomorrow. In the pilot Hewitt pranced around in racy lingerie, and did an impeccable job of feigning innocence as she…

Romney Hit on Obama Seen as Accurate But False by NYT; 'Fake But Accur

When it came to defending CBS's "60 Minutes" using phony memos to lie about George W. Bush's Vietnam War record, the media standard was "Fake But Accurate," at least according to a suggestion preserved in a September 15, 2004 New York Times headline, "Memos on Bush Are Fake But Accurate, Typist Says." But when it comes to accurate accusations made by Mitt Romney against Obama's economic record…

NBC's Brian Williams Helps Ashley Judd Fight the 'Patriarchy

On Wednesday night's edition of the poorly-performing prime-time show Rock Center, Brian Williams tried to rub some stardust on his ratings and strike a blow for feminism at the same time. He honored actress Ashley Judd for writing an outraged feminist essay about "patriarchy" on The Daily Beast because someone criticized her puffy face. Williams supportively explained, "This week the 43-year…

In Haste to Cast Zimmerman as Racist, CNN Went Against Internal Recomm

Some reporters have been so determined to prove that George Zimmerman's shooting of Trayvon Martin on February 26 was due to racism that they've been willing to go to virtually any length to find evidence that supports their claim, even against the recommendations of fellow journalists not wanting to rush beyond the evidence. The case of CNN's rush to promote the idea that Zimmerman had…

The View's Behar Defends Hilary Rosen's Attack on Ann Romney

On Thursday’s episode of The View Joy Behar did what she does best: defend the indefensible.  The ladies of the show were responding to comments made by Democratic donor and PR guru Hilary Rosen, who on CNN Wednesday said regarding Ann Romney, “His wife has actually never worked a day in her life. She's never really dealt with the kind of economic issues that a majority of women in this country…

Coulter Column: GOP Needs to Avoid Fighting the Last War

In a fast-changing world, a common mistake is to keep fighting the last war. For example, why would Republicans support sending more troops to Afghanistan, when that war was long over, or helping topple Moammar Gadhafi, who had become an ally in the war on terrorism? Some Republicans seem to support all military deployments just out of habit.

NBC, CBS Spike Dem Adviser's Nasty Comment That Mom Ann Romney Has 'Ne

The NBC and CBS morning shows on Thursday completely skipped any mention of a nasty attack on Ann Romney by Democratic National Committee adviser (and frequent White House visitor) Hilary Rosen. Today and CBS This Morning both ignored Rosen's insult that Mrs. Romney "has actually never worked a day in her life." Rosen's remarks were made on Wednesday's Anderson Cooper. Today did highlight…

Even WaPo's Dana Milbank Thinks Obama's 'Buffett Rule' is 'Gimmicky

President Obama is once again shamelessly touring the country promoting class warfare with his pathetic "Buffett Rule" to raise taxes on the most successful Americans. Sadly for the Commander-in-Chief, even the perilously liberal Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank thinks this is a gimmick to woo voters:

Open Thread: Masculine Men Vote Republican

Today's starter topic: Are liberals more likely to be "girlie men?" According to a study out of Australia across a number of countries, men who are more masculine tend to be more likely to support conservative political ideologies. If that claim is true, does it mean that liberal men are less likely to be physically strong or have lower levels of testosterone? Somehow it seems unlikely you'll…

Networks Obsessed with Labeling Romney Mormon

News flash: Mitt Romney is a Mormon! Actually, it’s not news. Romney was a Mormon as governor of Massachusetts and high-profile turn-around manager of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. Romney ran for the GOP nomination in 2008 and he was a Mormon then. He’s pretty much been running ever since. As a Mormon. But somehow, the networks can’t help reminding viewers at every turn that Romney is a…
