AP: Palin 'Makes New Enemy' in Ashley Judd
"Sarah Palin Makes New Enemy: Ashley Judd," reads a February 5, 2009 AP headline.But in truth, there's hardly anything new about the controversy in question save for a celebrity chiming in to resurrect the issue of aerial wolf hunts in Alaska:It's not the first time Defenders of Wildlife has targeted Palin.

CBS VP & London Bureau Chief: 'Just Another Typical Liberal Reporter
If you were to construct, from everything you know about the species, a stereotypical, liberal member of the MSM, Jennifer Siebens would be it.

USA Today's 'Helpful Advice' to Obama: Drive a Boat Through Mash Potat
Two weeks ago, ABC's Good Morning America featured kids who offered up silly liberal platitudes for President Barack Obama (“I want you to make people stop littering because our Earth is dying”) , but in retrospect they seem downright insightful compared to the collection of letters from children showcased in Wednesday's USA Today -- which embarrassed itself with a headline that characterized the…
Beck Asks 'When Did Socialism Become a Happy Thing for Us
While most of the liberal media gush and fawn over President Barack Obama's plans to radically expand government while imposing constraints on the private sector and ridiculing companies for actually wanting to make a profit -- oh the humanity!!! -- Fox News's Glenn Beck Wednesday night asked a question that should be on the minds of all Americans:When did socialism become a happy thing for us?…
'Che' Star Discovered His 'Groovy' Hero From Rolling Stones Song
The only thing more shallow than the "Che" box office receipts which are currently stuck at less than a measly million are the reasons given by the star of that movie, Benicio del Toro, for admiring the character he portrays. One can only shake his head in sadness at the pathetically shallow nature of del Toro's admiration while reading this American Thinker article written by the author of…
Reporter Arrested by Sec. Service, Jumped Rope Line Seeking Obama Auto
A reporter apparently couldn't resist the siren call of The One yesterday, so, like a star struck 15-year old at a Hannah Montana concert, he jumped the rope line separating the press from the president and ran up to him seeking Obama's autograph.
Needless to say the Secret Service was not amused, interdicted the man's Obammessiah signature seeking, and led him off to be investigated. The…
Williams Pleased Obama, Unlike Bush, Admitted He 'Screwed Up
NBC anchor Brian Williams, apparently still bristling over former President George W. Bush's failure to admit mistakes (at least in media interviews), twice in 24 hours felt it newsworthy to contrast Bush's reticence with President Barack Obama's “I screwed up” admission over the Tom Daschle nomination. On Tuesday's Hardball, following his interview with Obama, Williams relayed how the White…
Yet Another Fallacious Op-Ed on Church Abuse Scandal From the LAT
As we've stated before, no one can challenge the awful harm wrecked upon youth at the hands of Catholic clergy. The harm is real, incredibly sad, and unspeakably damaging. But that is no excuse for the Los Angeles Times to continue its dishonest practice of false and misleading presentations on the narrative of Cardinal Roger Mahony and the Los Angeles Catholic Church abuse scandal. The latest…
Cheap Shots: NYT Executive Editor Attacks O'Reilly, Coulter, and Krist
New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller is participating in the paper's "Talk to the Newsroom" online chat this week, discussing, among other things, the potential for the Times to again start charging for online content, but also taking cheap shots at conservatives Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter and even just-released columnist Bill Kristol in an ill-advised attempt at satire. Keller's running…
On Hardball: '100,000 People Dead' Because of 'Creepy' Cheney
On Wednesday night's "Hardball," Chris Matthews led a not-so-balanced panel of lefties that included Mother Jones's David Corn and Salon's Joan Walsh, in hammering Dick Cheney's concerns, relayed in an interview with Politico, about the Obama administration's softer stance in the war on terror. The "Hardball," host led the attack on Cheney as he charged the former Vice President: "Was wrong in a…
CNN's Cooper Asks Obama About Loss of 'Moral High Ground,' Ends With D
During an interview of President Obama on Tuesday’s Anderson Cooper 360, CNN’s Anderson Cooper included a number of tough questions, compared to his gentle treatment of the Democrat almost a year ago, but concluded with three softball questions on the executive’s search for a family dog, his new limo, and his cigarette habit. The anchor asked the president if he had “lost some of that moral high…
