In Defense of NPR, Democrat Congressman Wants to 'Defund' Fox News

March 18th, 2011 6:38 PM
The Left's panic concerning the defunding of NPR has become quite comical in recent days. Take for example Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) who took to the House floor Thursday and said, "If my friends on the other side of the aisle want to strip funding from NPR because they believe -- wrongly, in my view -- that NPR is biased, then we should be given the same opportunity" and prevent taxpayer…

Media Mash with Brent Bozell: Japan Tsunami Edition

After Bill Maher called the Koran "a hate-filled book" on HBO's "Real Time" Friday, NewsBusters asked if he would be attacked by the media for doing so.

Newest FNC Contributor: Former Dem Senator Evan Bayh

March 14th, 2011 3:20 PM
Retired U.S. Senator Evan Bayh has landed a gig as a Fox News Channel contributor, the Huffington Post reported Monday afternoon. The Indiana Democrat also served as governor from 1989 to 1997.
