ABC's The View Makes Light of Ed Schultz's 'Slut' Reference for Laura
Instead of focusing on the vileness of Ed Schultz twice calling conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham a "slut" on his radio show, ABC's The View co-hosts gabbed back and forth Thursday about co-host Joy Behar's catty use of the term for her colleagues.
Behar apparently calls her colleagues sluts on the ABC daytime show, and so the co-hosts chatted about the nature of her "insults" and…

MRC’s Dan Gainor on Lou Dobbs Discussing Soros 'Buying a Political A
“Frankly, $48 Million is just scratching the surface,” MRC’s Gainor said of left-wing billionaire George Soros’ funding of liberal media outlets and organizations. “We found 180 liberal outlets that he’s funding, we came out with that today, an astonishing reach,” he told Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs on May 25. “They talk on the Left about this echo chamber, and that’s exactly what they’…

LAT Columnist: Obama's Too Smart to Speak Clearly, or Something
Liberals are quite fond of chalking up President Obama's shortcomings to his near-inhuman intelligence. His repeated failures to offer policies that are both popular and successful are routinely written off as failures in "messaging." Honestly presented, that translates roughly to "too smart for the rubes he governs."
But now Obama isn't just too smart for the country, he's apparently too…

NewsBusters Publisher Brent Bozell Reacts to Ed Schultz's Apology to L
Ed Schultz's apology was full, unequivocal and a breath a fresh air.
We wish Ed would have shown the same remorse when saying we should ‘rip out’ Dick Cheney’s heart, when he called Liz Cheney "shooter's little girl,” or when he said Republicans enjoyed watching people with cancer die.

In full retreat, a humiliated and somber Ed Schultz opened his MSNBC show on Wednesday night by apologizing to Laura Ingraham for using, on his radio show, “vile and inappropriate language” to describe her, language he did not repeat. On Tuesday, the left-wing host had slimed the conservative talk radio host as a “right-wing slut” and a “radio slut.” (After Schultz’s statement, Thomas Roberts…
