Michael Barone has an interesting column in Monday's Washington Examiner noting that the president has worked his habit of refusing to stake out a concrete position into the White House's approach to the two major issues of the day: the uprising in Libya, and the ongoing debate and legislative battle over the federal budget. Barone writes: One must concede that the issues involved here are…

Is a pizza about to push Mika Brzezinski over the edge?  Seriously.  Her frantic reaction to finding her daughter and friend sharing a Domino's has me worried about Mika's state of mind. Regular Morning Joe viewers know that Mika's dream job would be as Kommissar of the Food Police.  Her concern about obesity, particularly of the childhood variety, is commendable.  But her solutions--heavy-…

Monday's Washington Post promoted the annual Gridiron Club dinner in Washington on Saturday night, complete with pictures of glitzy Katie Couric, Andrea Mitchell, and Arianna Huffington. This media-insider event finally attracted President Obama. There were no cameras allowed, so Obama once again made fun of Speaker John Boehner's skin color: The president said he used to think the House…

The left end of the radio dial is designated for non-commercial broadcasters, which is usually NPR stations and Christian stations. No one would confuse the two. On Thursday, the nationally distributed NPR show Fresh Air with Terry Gross became the latest media outlet to celebrate the Bible-shredding of professor Jennifer Wright Knust (after CNN.com and the Washington Post On Faith website.)…

CNBC's Lawrence Kudlow on Friday made a stock market comment about the earthquake and resulting tsunamis in Japan that have liberal media members hyperventilating. Before we get to the response, here's what Kudlow said (video follows with partial transcript and commentary):

Chuck Todd on Sunday bashed Republican governor Mitch Daniels for his state having a 9.1 percent unemployment rate. The substitute host of NBC's "Meet the Press" must not be aware that this is lower than most of Indiana's neighbors and is basically the same as the national rate (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Remember all that fuss two months ago about violent rhetoric and imagery following the tragic Tucson shootings that almost killed Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.)? Apparently the folks at Time magazine have forgotten, for on Saturday, they actually published an article with the following headline:

With civil unrest breaking out all over the Middle East and Africa sending oil and gas prices through the roof, one could make the case that Barack Obama more and more is looking like Jimmy Carter. On this weekend's "Chris Matthews Show," the liberal host made it seem that this is even on his mind as he made a rather telling slip of the tongue (video follows with transcript and commentary):

As NewsBusters has been reporting, liberal media members have been out in force the past few days defending NPR. On this weekend's "The Chris Matthews Show," New York Times columnist David Brooks said, "I thought it was really biased ten years ago, but now I think it’s pretty straight" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

CNN's Joe Johns hyped a recent Michael Moore speech on Monday's Newsroom as "incredible" and "riveting." Johns highlighted a clip from the left-wing film director, who spoke at a pro-union rally in Madison, Wisconsin, where he claimed that "America is not broke...The country is awash in wealth and cash. It's just that it's not in your hands! It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in…

George Will on Sunday's "This Week" said what likely has been on the minds of right-thinking Americans for many decades. "NPR is run by people who don't like people like me" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Numerous death threats were made against Wisconsin Republican lawmakers last week, but you wouldn't know about it if your only news sources were ABC, CBS, MSNBC, NBC, and NPR. Bucking the boycott was Fox News's Bill O'Reilly Friday (video follows with transcript and commentary):

ABC’s Bill Weir inaccurately lectured Friday night: “Consider Japan's state of the art undersea sensors and tsunami gates, protecting key ports, while just last month, our House of Representatives voted to slash funding for the Hawaiian tsunami warning center that issued last night's alarm.” Then on Saturday’s World News, reporter Clayton Sandell found it newsworthy to highlight how “…

People magazine film critic Alynda Wheat had a major political problem with the new Disney computer-animated movie Mars Needs Moms. It's viciously anti-feminist. But that's a much different review than the one in the other Time Inc. rag, Entertainment Weekly. Wheat unloaded with this one-star (out of four) review: Berkeley Breathed's 2007 kids' book Mars Needs Moms had a sweet but sharp point…
