Ratings-Starved Piers Morgan Pushes Wacky Romney-Jeremiah Wright Consp
Even after Mitt Romney condemned a proposed controversial super PAC ad attacking President Obama, CNN's Piers Morgan couldn't help but speculate on whether the candidate was still playing dirty. On Thursday's Piers Morgan Tonight he wondered aloud if the Romney campaign leaked the failed proposal to the press to keep the Reverend Wright controversy in the news.

Greece Heads for Default, Despite Media Predictions It Wouldn’t
Greece is the perfect example of the eventual outcome of unchecked spending – especially as it creeps closer and closer to defaulting on its massive debts, despite multiple government bailouts in May 2011. One recent BBC News headline warned: “Greece: ‘Default within the euro is possible’.”
But, looking back, some journalists predicted the opposite: that the Greek economy would survive…
'Comforting' News Network: CNN Fawns Over Gay Rights Activist
Zach Wahls is an activist lobbying Congress on behalf of gay rights issues, and yet CNN's Suzanne Malveaux rolled out the red carpet for him with nary a critical question on Thursday's 12 p.m. hour of Newsroom.
When Wahls, the author of a book titled "My Two Moms," made light of the "big gay scourge" that some say America faces, Malveaux laughed and flattered him "That was really funny, Zach…
CNN Compares Nominating Gay Activist to Judiciary With Desegregation
CNN continued its ridiculous narrative of tying gay rights to the civil rights movement of the 1960s, on Tuesday's Starting Point. Anchor Brooke Baldwin and her panel battered Virginia Delegate Bob Marshall for blocking the nomination of a gay prosecutor to the state's bench, even though Marshall argued that he was unfit for the position because of his activism and not his orientation.…
Ratings Collapse for Liberally Biased CNN Host Piers Morgan
On Tuesday, May 16, CNN did something that hadn't happened to the network since 1997: The 9 p.m. edition of Piers Morgan Tonight drew an audience of only 39,000 viewers in the important 25-54 age demographic.

Piers Morgan Tells Israeli Defense Minister Obama 'Would Prefer' No Ac

A Tale of Two Networks: CNN Questions Obama Attack Ad While MSNBC Chee
After the Obama campaign released an ad on Monday attacking Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital, CNN went so far as to question President Obama's hypocrisy in attacking Romney. In contrast, MSNBC hosts joined Team Obama on the offensive.

CNN Boosts 'One Gay Man's Fight for Same-Sex Marriage
News networks should remain objective, especially when approaching a hot-button issue of the present day, but CNN is clearly supporting the cause of same-sex marriage as evidenced by Sunday night's slander and its heavily slanted coverage of President Obama's "historic" gay marriage announcement last week -- and now its newest story that aired Tuesday afternoon.
When a man pushing for same-…
CNN Asks If Catholic Bishops Are 'Imposing' Catholic Beliefs by Invest
CNN's Carol Costello wondered why the U.S. Catholic Bishops are investigating the Girl Scouts over possible ties to Planned Parenthood and the distribution of anti-Catholic material. "Not all of those Girl Scouts are Catholic," Costello mused on Tuesday. "So why impose Catholic beliefs on the Girl Scouts and threaten to pull out of the organization?"
Costello hosted the Catholic League's…
Eerie Similarity? New Obama Attack Ad Mirrors CNN Story on Romney and
A new Obama campaign ad – which CNN showed a clip from on Monday – features former steelworkers attacking Mitt Romney and his leadership of Bain Capital. Yet this January CNN piece on Bain Capital's ventures in South Carolina provided the same critical aura of "bad memories" and "bitterness" toward the company from South Carolina steelworkers.
United Steelworkers is one of the heavy hitters…
CNN's Lemon Bemoans People 'Injecting' Religion Into Marriage Debate
CNN's Don Lemon said last year that he hoped to "change minds" when he declared that he was gay.

He later compared Mitt Romney to segregationist Governor George Wallace,…
CNN's Don Lemon Compares Mitt Romney to 60s Segregationist George Wall

CNN's Velshi's Thesis: 'Mitt Romney Has Already Lost the Election
The rainbow halo over President Barack Obama's head on Newsweek's cover isn't sufficient for some in the mainstream media. Now the meme is shifting to the inevitability of his re-election. Or so it would seem based on CNN's Your Money today. Anchor Ali Velshi devoted his heavy intellectual resources to the subject after discussing Mitt Romney's opposition to the auto bailout:
CNN's Howard Kurtz Slams MSNBC's Tamron Hall for 'Insulting' Treatment
As NewsBusters reported Friday, MSNBC's Tamron Hall threw a hissy fit when her conservative guest, the Washington Examiner's Tim Carney, called her network's coverage of the Washington Post's hit piece on Mitt Romney "ridiculous" and "absurd."
On CNN's Reliable Sources Sunday, host Howard Kurtz came down strongly on her asking, "Does Hall only want guests who agree with her handling of every…
