NBC Brings On Al Sharpton to Slam 'Offensive and Misogynist' Limbaugh

On Saturday, NBC's Today actually had the nerve to give left-wing activist and MSNBC host Al Sharpton a platform to condemn Rush Limbaugh, with co-host Amy Robach wondering: "...is this something the Republican Party needs to deal with right now?"

Time's Meacham: Anti-Limbaugh Letter by Georgetown President 'Timeless

Jon Meacham has come down with a particularly virulent strain of Limbaugh Derangement Syndrome that is bringing him to the brink of insanity. How else could one explain the Time magazine writer hailing an anti-Limbaugh speech as "timeless"  just like Jesus's Sermon on the Mount or Lincoln's Gettysburg Address? Yes, I kid you not, he really went there, and in a Time.com "Ideas" blog post…

WashPost's Karen Tumulty Insists 'Left Guilty of Misogny, Too

On The Washington Post’s “She the People” blog, Post reporter Karen Tumulty recommended a Kirsten Powers column because “all the furor over Rush Limbaugh, while totally justified, has also been one-sided.

Liberal Media Wage War Against ‘Act of Valor

Daily, American soldiers defend the freedom of speech the left loves to exercise to repeatedly condemn the American military. As soon as “Act of Valor” was released, lefty outlets wasted no time in crying the newest military flick is nothing more than glorified Pentagon “propaganda,” while savaging the acting of the active duty Navy Seals who comprise most of the cast. “Valor” has topped the…

For over two months the Left and their media minions have been making a big stink about the need for mandatory health insurance coverage of contraceptives.

Joe Klein Shocker: Requiring Insurers to Cover Birth Control 'Major Ov

Time's Joe Klein on Sunday took a position that is likely to shock people on both sides of the aisle.
