Eek: Dan Rather's HDNet Runs His 9/11 Show...Then 'Loose' Truther Docu

Disgraced ex-anchor Dan Rather wrote for The Huffington Post last Friday about how Americans are in danger of losing their grip on our history, touting his HDNet special on 9/11. So if Rather cares about history, what would he say about his boss Mark Cuban and the HDNet folks putting on truther-conspiracy documentaries on his network in prime time on September 11, 2011? Ace of Spades had the…

CNN's Roland Martin Attacks GOP Post-Debate on Education...But CNN Did

After the "Tea Party debate" last night, CNN turned to a long cast of experts for analysis. One that stood out was Obama-loving Roland Martin, who clearly wanted to make sure that all the candidates seemed inferior to his hero the POTUS and his "collision course with destiny." He came out slamming the Republicans for failing to attract Latino voters with amnesty proposals and for  having no…

After Hitting GOP Candidates from Left, NBC’s Williams Presses Obama

A few days after he hit Republicans from the left when he moderated a presidential candidates debate on MSNBC, NBC’s Brian Williams pressed President Barack Obama with the concerns of Obama supporters to the President’s left (“Members of your base are asking: ‘When are you going to get your Harry Truman on?’” and “What do you say to those Americans who voted for that man on the poster that said…

Matthews Bashes Bush's 'Rhetorical Ability' - Then Calls Saturday's Sp

In less than 30 minutes Monday, George W. Bush went from being a former president with "slight" "mental" and "rhetorical ability" to a "masterful and wonderful" speaker. Such hypocrisy came from MSNBC's Chris Matthews. Let's play Oddball (video follows with transcript and commentary):

CNN's Velshi: Stimulus Didn't Fail

CNN's business guru Ali Velshi argued that the stimulus did not fail, in a testy exchange Monday with CNN contributor Dana Loesch that followed President Obama's jobs plan speech. "It failed!" exclaimed Loesch when Velshi mentioned the stimulus, to which he excitedly replied that it did not fail. That set off a back-and-forth between the two pundits, where Velshi argued that unemployment…

Christianity Today Catches Up with Heather Mercer 10 Years After Captu

A month before the 9/11 attacks, American missionaries Heather Mercer and Dayna Curry were captured and imprisoned by the Taliban. Their detention and subsequent rescue by American troops in November 2001 received extensive media coverage at the time, including criticism by "Dateline" correspondent John Larson about their proselytizing in a Muslim country. So far, however, it seems no…

Salon columnist Joe Conason appeared on Monday's Hardball to excoriate former Vice President Dick Cheney: "...You would almost think that Cheney was actually an agent of the nation's enemies..."

All the Wrong 9/11 Lessons

Are your kids learning the right lessons about 9/11? Ten years after Osama bin Laden's henchmen murdered thousands of innocents on American soil, too many children have been spoon-fed the thin gruel of progressive political correctness over the stiff antidote of truth. "Know your enemy, name your enemy" is a 9/11 message that has gone unheeded. Our immigration and homeland security policies…

CBS Grants All Its 'Jobs Bill' Air Time to Obama and DNC, Skips GOP

CBS's Early Show on Monday devoted two segments and a news brief to the Obama "jobs bill," but in none of the three stories did they allow a single Republican to speak. Correspondent Bill Plante filed a report that was almost all Obama soundbites -- and to make the sound of a sales job complete, it even included a clip of a TV ad from the Democratic National Committee to help push the $447…

CNN Picks Wolf Blitzer to Host Tea Party Debate, But He Implied Tea Pa

Wolf Blitzer will serve as the host of tonight’s “Tea Party debate” on CNN, co-sponsored by the Tea Party Express. But while Blitzer’s show plans to present questioners from the Tea Party, it’s likely Blitzer will "balance" that by  pressing Republicans from the left, just as NBC’s Brian Williams did last week on MSNBC. For example, four years ago, at the June 5, 2007 presidential debate,…

NBC's Curry to Ahmadinejad: 'Why Do You Work So Hard

Monday's NBC Today featured co-host Ann Curry live in Tehran doing a fawning "day in the life" profile of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. At one point, Curry noted the dictator's "grueling schedule" and wondered: "What is your primary motivation, as president? Why do you work so hard?" [Audio available here] From beginning to end, Curry's report sounded more like propaganda on Iranian…
