“There weren’t a lot of hard questions in this news conference,” FNC’s Bret Baier observed on Special Report in the understatement of the night. Indeed, in the first question posed at the late Wednesday afternoon session, Caren Bohan of Reuters reflected the collective glow of the White House press corp basking in Barack Obama’s glory: You racked up a lot of wins in the last few weeks that…

Welcome to Al Sharpton's Brave New Radio World. A world in which the FCC would take a hard look at the licenses of stations that carry Rush Limbaugh.

Ed Schultz has, as I've noted, been offering Sharpton a serial stage to trumpet his censoring threats, and there was Al at it again tonight.  According…

Forget the secular holiday, Dec. 25 is about the greatest gift of all.

NBC anchor Brian Williams signed off with a pom-pom line for Barack Obama and congressional Democrats at the end of his live coverage of the Obama press conference. “At least one other writer has written, as making this the most productive Congress since the Great Society era of the 1960s.” It’s hard not to see in this a liberal definition of what “productivity” is. Reagan’s conservative…

The panel on Wednesday's "Morning Joe" on MSNBC gushed over President Obama's recent legislative success, and former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw likened Obama's resurgence to Lazarus rising from the dead. "It looked like the day after the election that [Obama] was on his way back to Chicago. Now suddenly he has arisen, Lazarus-like, again," Brokaw attested. The disastrous mid-term…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – especially if you’re expecting a little extra naughtiness from mildly attractive celebrity women.

What would a Christmas card from…

On Wednesday's GMA, ABC's Jake Tapper spun President Obama's victories during the lame duck Congress as a post-midterm "shellacking" of Republicans: "The President and Democrats...have passed a tax compromise package; repealed 'don't ask, don't tell;' and they stand on the verge of getting the START...treaty ratified. To hear...Senator Lindsey Graham tell it, it's his side that was shellacked…

Time's Joe Klein, ABC's Christiane Amanpour, and CBS's Lesley Stahl were just three journalists to see an outrageously biased quote of theirs land in the Best of Notable Quotables 2010. A panel of 46 radio talk show hosts, magazine editors, columnists, editorial writers, and expert media observers chose the winners, and our news analysts introduce them and a few others in this highlight…

Paul Bedard at U.S. News & World Report offered a scoop on how the new E! reality show Married to Rock -- featuring former Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens and his wife Josie -- outraged Reaganites by claiming to live in an old apartment of Ronald Reagan's and being haunted by his ghost...and having sexual fantasies about it. Brent Bozell was disgusted, among others: Josie suggests…

On today's Style section front page, Washington Post theater reviewer Peter Marks gave unqualified praise for "Oy Vey In a Manger," a production at the Jewish Community Center in Northwest D.C. that features irreverent parodies of traditional Christmas and Chanukah songs in a ribald fashion: Don they now their gay apparel! In an ecumenical display of wicked joie de vivre, the Kinsey Sicks…

In case someone hadn’t discovered The Huffington Post is a leftist website, there’s a new slide show and poll asking what will cause the apocalypse in 2012? The leading votegetter right now is “Sarah Palin becomes President of the United States.” They promoted their poll with this copy: According to the Mayan calendar, the world will end on December 21, 2012. Considering we only have two…

Word has spread across the Internet of an embarrassing gaffe by CBS News Sunday Morning – the airing of a mock cover of President Bush's memoirs, "Decision Points."

Washington Examiner columnist Timothy Carney is taking on The Competition today, mocking The Washington Post for what he reports is their unique way of reporting "That pattern we never told you about, of corporate lobbyists favoring Democrats, is ending". The Business Roundtable tapped former Republican Gov. John Engler as its CEO, and reporter Dan Eggen found it moving to the right -- but…
