On MSNBC: Leftist Writer Smears Tim Tebow as Wanting to Set Gays Back

MSNBC can't even keep liberal politics out of sports. Nation sports editor Dave Zirin appeared on the cable network, Wednesday, to hyperventilate over the announcement that Tim Tebow has been traded to the New York Jets. Zirin berated, "...There are a lot of LGBT people that live in New York City who are also football fans and they might want to know why the new, possibly, starting quarterback…

Malkin Column: Obama's Algae Racket

Pond scum stinks. And so do the Obama administration's enormous, taxpayer-funded "investments" in politically connected biofuel companies. While the president embarks on a green rehabilitation tour this week to quell growing public outrage about big green boondoggles, the White House continues to cultivate a cozy algae racket. Obama's promotion of algae as a fuel source at a campaign speech…

Not National News: 29 'Impartial' Wis. Judges Sign Scott Walker Recall

If Scott Walker somehow loses his recall election in Wisconsin, will that be national news? Of course it will. Well, if the Walker recall really is a national story, why isn't it news that 29 judges who are supposed to be impartial in their rulings and who are under strict prohibitions against political activity were found by Gannett News to have signed petitions supporting Walker's recall…

Newsweek Honors Cronkite: 'The Voice of God On TV

The March 26/April 2 edition of Newsweek is all Sixties-themed, and on the last page is a gushy Walter Cronkite piece from liberal historian Douglas Brinkley -- you know, the man who kept having to revise his John Kerry hagiography in 2004 to include stubborn facts. Newsweek headlined it "The Voice of God on TV." The God terminology came from angry black radical Julian Bond in describing how…

Shorter LA Times: Problem with ObamaCare Is It's Not Taking Effect Bef

With recent polls showing up to 2/3rds of Americans opposing ObamaCare in some fashion, the Los Angeles Times set out to spin the bad news for President Obama. The paper basically griped today that ObamaCare's gradual rollout was to blame for the law's poor public reception. "As President Obama and his allies gear up to defend the landmark healthcare law he signed two years ago, they confront…

Actual CNN Money Headline: 'Rising Gas Prices Aren't as Bad as You Thi

As NewsBusters has been reporting for weeks, the Obama-loving media - quite contrary to what they did when George W. Bush was in office - are doing their darnedest to downplay the seriousness of the exploding prices people are paying at the pump. Doing its part Wednesday was CNN Money which actually published a piece with the laughable headline, "Rising Gas Prices Aren't as Bad as You Think."

ABC Again Skimps on 2012 Coverage; Tapper: Race Is Obama Vs. 'Conserva

For the third day in a row, Wednesday, an absent George Stephanopoulos prompted ABC's Good Morning America to provide skimpy coverage of the GOP presidential race. While CBS This Morning devoted nine minutes, including an interview, on the Illinois primary, ABC allowed just two minutes and 21 seconds of coverage. In GMA's only full report, Jake Tapper quoted Romney casting the race as law…

Selling Socialism: The Media's Campaign for ObamaCare

Next week, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on the constitutionality of ObamaCare, but if the media were the judges, the Court would rule 9-0 in favor of it. During its coverage of the health care debate, the liberal press never permitted questions about ObamaCare’s legality to interfere with their dream of a government takeover of the health care sector. Starting even before Barack…

Scarborough Brands Shooter Of Trayvon Martin A 'Murderer

It's not easy to make Al Sharpton appear relatively restrained in a racially-charged case such as the one involving the death of Trayvon Martin. But Joe Scarborough has managed to pull off the dubious feat.  On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough flatly branded the reported shooter, George Zimmerman, a "murderer."  It was no slip of the tongue. A couple minutes later, Scarborough declared that…
