Howard Kurtz offered a profile of New York Times columnist/PBS house "conservative" David Brooks on Monday. It efficiently explained criticism of Brooks from both sides, and noted that Brooks also finds critics in his own home: After Brooks gave a lukewarm review of Obama's convention speech on PBS, his wife, Sarah, texted him from their Bethesda home: "You are crazy. That was great." What was…

Washington Post staffer Christopher Twaroski's 18-pargraph September 21 story on how John McCain was "Seeking Minority Groups' Support" in Northern Virginia quickly morphed from a rehash of former Sen. George Allen's "macaca" moment to a gauzy focus on Sen. Barack Obama's campaigning efforts in the Old Dominion. Twaroski opened his article noting that the former Republican senator from Virginia…

From the Sandra Bernhard file of trashing Republicans in the hope of re-energizing a sad career, there's Margaret Cho. In addition to the usual liberal trope that McCain wasn't a good "soldier" since he was captured, she's now suggesting that voting for Satan is better than voting McCain-Palin: I am not voting for McCain. I hope that is obvious. I am sick of everyone saying – "He was a…

In a year when a feminist female candidate didn't make it on her party's presidential ticket while a woman with more traditional views about gender differences did, the results of a new study indicating that so-called "sexist" men make more money than their "egalitarian" counterparts should evoke interesting responses from a liberal media assuming it gets much coverage at all.In fact, the opening…

Does anybody remember Bill Clinton boasting in 1992 that a vote for him means "buy one, get one free?" Of course, he was referring to the fact that  by electing him, you would also get Hillary as a virtual co-president. No big outrage in the liberal media back then about a spouse being too involved in the political affairs of her husband. However, the Washington Post has now taken the involvement…

Brent Bozell's latest culture column explored how liberal nitpickers landed in Alaska and quickly jumped to conclusions that any right-wing, Jesus-loving politician must be a book-burner. But Brent wonders if many librarians and "civil libertarians" aren't a lot like the liberal media elite, wanting to insure a serious bias in "acceptable information" without any troublesome conservative activism…

Walters, Goldberg and Behar peck away at Hasselbeck's defense of McCain ad

On Friday's Situation Room, CNN's Jack Cafferty asked, "Is Sarah Palin's 15 minutes of fame over?" As you can see, Jack seems very anxious for Palin to become a has been of little consequence in this election:Funny how a stock market crash, the failure of a few big investment banks will distract Americans from the flavor of the day. There doesn't seem to be the burning interest in who makes Sarah…

Three Sundays ago, in a 60 Minutes interview CBS's Steve Kroft cued up Barack Obama with Sarah Palin's presumed lack of qualifications compared to him: “Does the fact that he chose as his Vice President someone who has less experience than you take that weapon out of his arsenal?” But on Sunday night, in a 60 Minutes devoted to new interviews with both Obama and John McCain, Scott Pelley also hit…

When I saw the headline at WashingtonPost.com "Closing the Whopper Gap" with columnist Ruth Marcus's name next to it, I naturally assumed this had to be another hit piece on John McCain akin to what my colleague Mark Finkelstein reported last week.  Yet, upon closer examination, it turned out Marcus's target of disaffection this time was -- wait for it! -- Barack Obama.And, she even defended Rush…
