Bill Maher to Piers Morgan: MSNBC 'Very Rarely Wrong,' CNN Lagging For

November 3rd, 2013 1:03 PM
Bill Maher was a guest on Piers Morgan's CNN show on Tuesday night; the interview segment was replayed on Friday (thanks to NB's Noel Sheppard for that catch).

Fox's Jim Angle: HealthCare.gov Wouldn't Talk to Me, Knew I Was in the

November 2nd, 2013 5:59 PM
Maybe the folks running the HealthCare.gov call centers don't have an enemies list. Instead, based on the experience of Fox News's Jim Angle, it might be an enemies directory, with anyone they're aware of in the media and perhaps other organizations included therein. That's what one almost has to think based on the experience Angle recounted on the air and relayed via Twitter Friday (HT Twitchy…

Networks Ignore Obama Team's Latest Attack on Journalist -- Pre-Dawn R

October 29th, 2013 4:56 PM
 All three networks, so far, have skipped the latest example of the Obama administration's aggressive attacks on journalists, this time against a former Washington Times reporter who in 2005 exposed the scant number of flights being protected by Homeland Security. On August 6, 2013, agency officials showed up at Audrey Hudson's house at 4:30 in the morning. With a warrant for an unrelated,…

Juan's haughty huffiness was so absurd that the Fox News panel was caught slack-jawed…

Reporter: I Printed False Story But Fox News Made Me Do It

October 25th, 2013 7:05 PM
The media world is abuzz today with an inside-baseball story about a reporter claiming that Fox News deliberately tried to embarrass him by feeding him a false story which he then went ahead and published based on a single unverified source. Yet somehow instead of the incident being an indictment of the reporter, Matthew Flamm of Crain’s New York Business, the media critic world is spinning…
