President Barack Obama’s approval level has fallen to well below 50 percent, but instead of attributing that to independents rejecting his liberal policies, CBS’s Harry Smith, in an interview with Obama conducted Friday and aired on the Sunday Morning program, contended events beyond Obama’s control have conspired to undermine him. Referring to Inauguration Day, Smith proposed: Maybe the promise…

Support the Orlando Magic, support war in Iraq? That's what MSNBC's favorite leftist sports guru, Dave Zirin of The Nation magazine, argued on taxpayer-subsidized Pacifica Radio's Democracy Now on Friday. Blackwater CEO Erik Prince is the brother-in-law of Magic owner (and conservative funder) Dick DeVos. So Zirin thought NBA fans ought to think twice:   I mean, I don’t think a majority of sports…

NPR Fresh Air host Terry Gross interviewed an evangelical Christian on Wednesday, which means he must be a liberal evangelical -- in fact, one who voted for Obama and has been funded by George Soros. Richard Cizik, who lost his job at chief lobbyist for the National Association of Evangelicals after a 2008 interview with Gross in which he endorsed civil unions for homosexuals, surely delighted…

The Baltimore Sun's David Zurawik on Sunday made fools out of CBS White House Correspondent Chip Reid and former CNNer Frank Sesno.Ironically, this happened during a "Reliable Sources" segment on CNN dealing with today's "Poisonous Press."With host Howard Kurtz leading a discussion about how news outlets today are spending a great deal of time bashing each other, the conversation predictably led…

Despite a last-minute e-mail lobbying campaign from the leftists at MoveOn.org, the White House Correspondents Association has awarded a front-row seat in the White House briefing room to Fox News Channel.

In her debut Sunday morning as host of ABC’s This Week with Christiane Amanpour, the long-time CNN international correspondent brought a foreigner’s perspective to the program as she treated her lack of knowledge and familiarity with U.S. politics as an asset and the current New York City resident seemed to say that after more than two decades of covering the world she had decided to allow…

During the past week, MSNBC’s Ed Schultz had trouble acknowledging that allowing a tax cut to expire, in effect, is a tax increase, as he debated on the Ed Show the issue of whether the tax cuts passed during the Bush administration – due to expire at the end of this year – should be extended beyond 2010. On Tuesday’s show, even while noting that the top marginal rates would increase from 35 to…

Dan Rather this weekend said the odds are that the Republicans will take back the House in the upcoming midterm elections.Maybe more surprisingly, Chris Matthews, with a look on his face like someone had given him the worst news possible, actually agreed with him. As the discussion on the latest installment of the syndicated "Chris Matthews Show" focused on what Democrats need to do this fall to…

So last week, in the Rose Garden, President Obama paraded out three jobless folks, using their plight to implore Congress to extend unemployment benefits. One of them was a delightful woman named Leslie Macko. Here’s what he said about her. “We need to pass it for Leslie Macko who lost her job at a fitness center last year and has been looking for work ever since because she eligible for…

So, I asked my liberal friend Matt Zemek why liberals are so miserable. To my way of thinking, they have everything politically: the President, the Congress, most courts, and the press.

The bad attitude was exemplified by the Netroots…
