Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi charged in the Sunday Outlook section that conservatives are the bigger liars with sub-rosa e-mail gossip chains: "when it comes to generating and sustaining specious and shocking stories, there’s no contest. The majority of the junk comes from the right, aimed at the left." Who did the measuring of this tilt? Why, the Washington Post fact checker, of…

In their deeply deceptive Friday morning story ("Deep spending cuts pose a new threat to US economy") about how the bicameral bipartisan supercommittee is supposedly going to hurt the economy with whatever results from its handiwork, Christopher Rugaber and Daniel Wagner of the Associated Press, aka The Administration's Press, "somehow" forgot to include one "little" detail, and deferred…

For years NewsBusters has informed readers of the tremendous financial ties to spreading the anthropogenic global warming myth. On Sunday, coincidentally  the second anniversary of 2010's ClimateGate scandal, Britain's Daily Mail exposed the BBC's Roger Harrabin for having taken £15,000 from the very university at the heart the damning email messages demonstrating a nefarious collusion…

Kyle Smith of the New York Post reports that the animated movie Happy Feet 2 can’t stay away from including the notion of “gay marriage” into a movie you might just think was aimed at kids. The little crustaceans voiced by Matt Damon and Brad Pitt bring it up: "Perplexingly, things take a turn for the gay:  Damon’s krill says he wants to raise kids together, at which point Pitt’s notes that…

There are times you have to question Michael Steele's grasp on elementary political-party history as an MSNBC analyst from the right-leaning side. (Liberals would say it makes you question how a former Republican Party chairman can't remember his own party's recent history.) But on Friday night's Politics Nation, in a battle of the bumblers, Steele told Sharpton the Republicans lost the House…

On Friday night’s Politics Nation program, MSNBC host Al Sharpton denounced a Balanced Budget Amendment in the strongest terms. “This extreme piece of Republican mean-spiritedness could have destroyed up to 15 million jobs and slashed social programs.” It’s apparently why the popularity of Congress is so low, Sharpton insisted. Washington Post reporter Nia-Malika Henderson agreed with…

Chris Matthews on Saturday slammed Barack Obama in his worst criticism to date of the man that used to give him a thrill up his leg. Speaking to the host of MSNBC's Weekends with Alex Witt, Matthews excoriated the President saying, "The day he got inaugurated, he sent us all home and said, 'Thank you, now watch how smart I am.' That's the worst kind of a notion of the presidency" (video…

A week after HBO's Bill Maher called Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich "a fat womanizing blowhard," NBC's Jay Leno referred to the former House Speaker as a "hot air balloon." Tonight Show guest Meghan McCain actually thought that was funny (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Charles Krauthammer justifiably lost his patience with his fellow panelists on PBS's Inside Washington Friday evening. No matter how many times he explained that Republicans last week proposed a revenue increase that Democrats refused, PBS's Mark Shields and NPR's Nina Totenberg couldn't seem to grasp this simple concept leading Krauthammer to ask, "What planet are you guys living on...I’ve…

NPR's Nina Totenberg on Friday exhibited what Hillary Clinton would call a willing suspension of disbelief. When the subject of failed solar company Solyndra came up on PBS's Inside Washington, Totenberg actually said with a straight face, "There is no evidence that there was any political anything about the awarding of this contract" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Oops, he supposedly did it again. Herman Cain, the GOP presidential candidate who has experience as a rocket scientist on his resume, made another allegedly "stupid" remark. Why, if you buy the press's accounts of his statements, it's hard to believe the guy can dress himself in the morning without hanging his pants over his head and putting his socks on his hands. Here's what Cain said that…

For general discussion and debate about whatever the heck you want as long as it's decent. So have it.

After Iowa State's amazing upset of Oklahoma State, college football will be even more interesting today. And how about those 8-1 Niners? Or Tim Tebow just winning? Let's talks weekend sports.

In advance of Tinseltown's parade of Christmas insensitivities - they've already unloaded the marijuana movie "A Very Harold and Kumar 3-D Christmas" - let us stipulate that it's not just seasonal. The manufacturers of pop culture thrive on offending every traditional value. Start with Pamela Anderson, the ridiculously surgically enhanced former Playboy Playmate, home-movie porn specialist…
