Laura Ingraham Busts The View: When Ed Schultz Called Me a Slut Barbar
As NewsBusters reported Monday, the ladies of ABC's The View were tremendously sympathetic to Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke's tale of woe and misery having been called a "slut" by conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh.

Conservative Female G'town Student to Fluke: 'Have Some Self Respect
Don't expect MSNBC or other liberal media outlets to showcase Georgetown University senior Angela Morabito anytime soon. The conservative student may attend the same school as feminist activist and law student Sandra Fluke, but, as Morabito makes clear in a March 2 post at The College Conservative, they're worlds apart in their worldview.
It's "[f]unny how the same side that cries 'Get your…

Psst! Rick Santorum Credited With Saving Child's Life; Establishment P
Have we reached a point where a positive story about a political candidate whose views are considered unacceptable by the media elites won't get widely covered even when it's virtually dropped in their laps?
One can't help but suspect that's the case with Rick Santorum. February 13, the Detroit Free Press carried a moving story by Kathleen Gray about how the parents of a Michigan girl with…

Jon Stewart Mocks Megyn Kelly: Contraceptive Coverage Same as Paid Mat
Of all the pathetic media defenses of Georgetown University law student and women’s rights activist Sandra Fluke, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart on Monday might have mounted the silliest one.

Libtalker Mike Malloy: Tornado Victims Are 'Little Grease Spots on the
Oh look, another unhinged left winger who other liberals will ignore while they continue their feigned indignation against Rush Limbaugh.
This time it isn't Maher or Olbermann or Matthews or Schultz or any of the usual suspects who warrant nary a glance from their ideological brethren when they spew hate that if uttered by anyone right of center would warrant immediate formation of a media…

NYT's Maureen Dowd Tackles Brutal Limbaugh, Santorum's 'Medieval' View
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd made the front of the Sunday Review describing how she once had her feelings hurt by Rush Limbaugh, who is drawing liberal fire by calling leftist birth-control activist Sandra Fluke a "slut" on his radio show (he has since apologized): "Have You No Shame, Rush?"
