Have you noticed among the Obama-supporting elite a desperate agony upon realizing that he is not quite the messiah he made himself out to be and as which they willingly embraced him? Many leftists are disgusted with Obama for supposedly betraying the cause on a number of issues, which tells us how irredeemably liberal they are. But their sense of betrayal runs deeper than ideology.

For much of the spring and summer, the big broadcast networks threw staff and airtime at covering Arizona's attempt to control its borders against rampant illegal immigration. Liberals detested Arizona's "harsh" new law, so the media elite reflexively treated it as a scandal in their coverage.   But now, Congress is debating a liberal immigration plan, the so-called "DREAM Act," that would…

Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin of "West Wing" and "Social Network" fame thinks Sarah Palin killing and eating a caribou in her TLC show is akin to Michael Vick promoting dog fights. In a piece published Wednesday at Huffington Post, Sorkin also wrote of the former Alaska governor, "I don't watch snuff films and you make them":

Conservatives are up in arms this morning over reports that the House Republican Steering Committee have backd three moderate Congressmen for key chairmanships. In doing so, as the Daily Caller reported Wednesday, GOP leaders have bucked a number of key conservative groups who had cried foul over the three congressmen's spotty records on big issues. The Republican Steering Committee backed…

Matching the distortion documented in a MRC study posted Tuesday, though under the Obama-congressional GOP compromise income tax rates will remain unchanged for all, fill-in CBS Evening News anchor Jeff Glor introduced a story by characterizing a “battle over tax cuts” and how at a White House news conference President Obama “said agreeing to cuts for high-income earners was the only way to get…

News organization or theater of the absurd? You decide. During an interview with her MSNBC colleague Ed Schultz on his radio show Nov. 30, broadcast from MSNBC studios in New York, Rachel Maddow said this about liberals in media (video follows after page break) --

Just as Ed Schultz declared that Rep. Alan Grayson was a model for Democratic success with a TV ad calling his GOP opponent "Taliban Dan" ("This is how you fight, Democrats") before Grayson was badly defeated for re-election, on Monday night's Ed Show on MSNBC, he hailed Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey for picking up the GOP-as-terrorists line:  Senator Bob Menendez hammered the Republicans…

 Appearing as a guest on CNN’s Parker-Spitzer, rocker Gene Simmons of the rock band KISS and the TV show Family Jewels related to viewers that he is "very conservative" on fiscal and foreign policy issues, voiced his support for President Bush and the war on terrorism - including "nation building" in Iraq - and declared that he wishes he could take back his vote for President Obama from the…

Lawrence O'Donnell on Tuesday surprisingly exposed how ignorant liberals are of the tax code. In a sometimes heated discussion with prominent progressives about President Obama's new compromise tax plan, "The Last Word" host aggressively challenged the knowledge of two of his guests (video follows with transcript and commentary):

You would think after the last time President Obama incorrectly said Social Security when it was originally created was exclusively for widows and orphans, someone in his administration would have corrected him so he wouldn't do it again. Yet there he was at Tuesday's press conference making the same completely false assertion on national television (video follows with transcript and…

On December 7, the notorious radical mastermind of “WikiLeaks,” turned himself in on a sexual assault charge in London. But in the liberal media, the condemnations are few. There are no real enemies to the media elite’s left, especially if they can be (very loosely) identified with journalism. Julian Assange may be highly motivated to cripple American “imperialism,” but his relentless efforts…

On Tuesday's Newsroom, CNN tried to spin the proposed compromise between President Obama and congressional Republicans to keep the current tax rates as a "package that increases spending dramatically." Correspondents Jessica Yellin and Joe Johns forwarded the liberal talking point that the Republicans were breaking their campaign promise to reduce government spending with this proposal.…

Chris Matthews on Tuesday once again claimed former Alaska governor Sarah Palin is not very knowledgable about politics. This deliciously came moments after he wrongly challenged Pat Buchanan about a Winston Churchill quote (video follows with transcript and commentary):

In what may fairly be assumed is a response to Bristol Palin slamming Keith Olbermann on Facebook, MSNBC stooped on Monday afternoon to speculating that Bristol’s Facebook posts are written by a ghost writer, since the words in her posts sound too advanced for a young Palin.  Anchor Thomas Roberts was conducting a light interview with comedian Sherrod Small of VH-1's The Short List, and said…
