Former NBC and CBS correspondent Liz Trotta contended on FNC’s Fox NewsWatch that the already “very, very liberal” foreign news media are “encouraged by Obama's analysis that everybody in the world hates us,” which “only certifies their animosity towards the U.S.” Trotta’s assessment came in reply to FNC host Jon Scott, who wondered in regard to President Barack Obama’s trip to several Asian…

The liberal media went into quite a tirade Friday after conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh made a satirical remark about the Democrats relegating House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) to Nancy Pelosi's (D-Cali.) chauffeur when the new Congress convenes in January. Not surprisingly, MSNBC's Ed Schultz devoted a good part of his program to this issue Friday - filled with…

Greg Gutfeld on Saturday took on Dylan Ratigan and Ted Rall for advocating a violent revolution on the former's television program last Monday. Giving the closing comment on "Fox News Watch," the "Red Eye" host also pointed out the delicious irony in a cartoonist "calling for a government overthrow with guns and violence on a network, MSNBC, that accused Tea Partiers of the same" (video…

Jon Stewart's bold statements about creating more of a "Rally for Sanity" sphere for civility in public discourse certainly aren't rubbing off on his employees. Daily Show correspondent John Oliver proclaimed in a "comedy" routine that he hated Denver Broncos quarterback/Christian missionary Tim Tebow so much he'd shoot him before he'd shoot Osama bin Laden.

Roland Martin brought his full-blown Palin Derangement Syndrome to Friday's Anderson Cooper 360, labeling the former Alaska governor "the Kim Kardashian of politics." Martin continued that Palin is "making a ton of money. We're trying to figure out why. It's the same as Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton....She quit her job because she wanted to go out and be a celebrity." The CNN contributor…

(HT: Phil Lawler/CatholicCulture.org) Major news outlets delivered a collective message about the Catholic Church this week. Here were the headlines: "Pope orders sex abuse summit" (Boston Globe) "Pope to Hold Sex-Abuse Summit" (Wall Street Journal) "Italy: Cardinals to Ponder Response by Church to Sexual Abuse Cases" (New York Times) "Pope summons cardinals over abuse: Vatican…

Schlockumentary filmmaker Michael Moore on Friday's "Real Time" got a much-needed education about how absurd it is to claim "white America does not like having a black president." CNN's Jessica Yellin also taught Moore a thing or two about voter turnout during midterm elections (video follows with transcript and commentary):

HBO's Bill Maher is clearly still reeling from the Democrat disaster in the midterm elections. On Friday's "Real Time," the host compared America to a dog that "cannot understand actual words," only "understands fear," and can't have issues explained to it (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Charles Krauthammer on Friday gave a much-needed education to Bloomberg's Margaret Carlson about why the age at which one can receive Social Security benefits must be raised. His words on PBS's "Inside Washington" also refuted Paul Krugman's foolish claims on this matter published in Friday's New York Times (video follows with transcript and commentary):

On Friday night's NewsHour on PBS, liberal commentator Mark Shields felt the need to offer a “correction” to less-liberal commentator David Brooks when he said President Obama “wanted to raise your taxes” if you make over $250,000. He didn't want to “raise taxes,” said Shields, but just “return it to where it was” under Clinton. They're now "artificially reduced" for the rich. Brooks shot back…

Johnson (pictured at right on NB's home page) was arrested yesterday, and "is accused of accepting cash in return for helping a developer secure federal funding." Johnson's wife, a recently elected councilperson, was also arrested yesterday. The couple are both accused of "tampering with a witness and…

When it comes to the increasing sex, violence, and profanity in entertainment media, the social libertines are indifferent. They insist that children will hardly be warped or ruined by the media they consume. They chortle at the paranoia of Hollywood critics. Their mantra: If you don't like it, just turn the channel. But if the issue isn’t indecency, but instead, say, obesity – so many of…
