AP's Loven: Bush Passing the Buck to Successor
October 4th, 2007 3:52 PM
Update appended at bottom of post (Oct. 5)A day after slamming the president with a biased report on SCHIP, AP White House reporter Jennifer Loven worked her "Bush is a failure" meme into an "analysis" piece that chalked up every real or perceived failure of the Bush administration to the President and his team, and none to the persistent opposition of liberal critics in Congress: WASHINGTON --…
AP: No Mention of Party for So. Dakota Democrat Accused of Sexual Misc
October 4th, 2007 5:27 AM
Here we go again with another story where a Democrat is being accused of sexual misconduct, yet the Associated Press doesn't feel that mentioning the man's party affiliation is important to the story. In this case, the AP is carrying a story on "State Senator Dan Sutton of Flandreau" (that would be in South Dakota) who is being sued for "allegedly groping a male legislative page." Sutton is a…

Wesley Wants Rush Whacked From Military Radio; Vieira: Treat Him Like
October 3rd, 2007 8:27 AM
Ah, those diversity-loving liberals. You know, the kind who would stifle free speech with their Orwellian "Fairness Doctrine," who threaten legal action against mom-and-pop T-shirt makers who criticize MoveOn.org. Wesley Clark would now take things one step further, whacking Rush Limbaugh off the Armed Forces Network radio airwaves. "Today" co-anchor Meredith Vieira interviewed the retired…
Media Ignore Congressman Dingell’s ‘Painful’ Tax Plan to Solve G
September 29th, 2007 4:52 PM
It has been regularly reported by NewsBusters that media are doing everything in their power to withhold from the public the financial ramifications of global warming alarmism. Be it the marketing of totally useless carbon offsets, or proposals for additional taxes on consumers and corporations, press outlets have been seemingly coordinated in their silence regarding such matters.

AP Scolds Jenna Bush for 'Ducking Iraq' Questions
September 28th, 2007 5:51 AM
When we voted for Jenna Bush to lead the war in Iraq, we all thought she would always be ready and able to lead the discussion in the press about that important issue... Oh, wait. No one voted for Jenna Bush for anything, much less to make Iraq policy. This fact, then, makes it curious that the AP would give us a piece titled "Jenna Bush Ducks Iraq, Talks Engagement." Why, exactly, the AP would…
Is the AP Beginning to Go After a Do-Nothing Democratic Congress
September 25th, 2007 5:28 PM
Could this be the start of the same kind of “do nothing Congress” media push for the Democratic majority that we saw for the Republicans in 2006? The September 25 article “Bush Eager for Budget Showdown” highlighted the Democrats' failure to send even a single bill to President Bush and even included a few stinging comments. Don't worry libs, the AP still managed to subtly paint an image of…
