FNW: MSM Backs Bhutto; Willie Horton Redux
November 11th, 2007 1:13 PM
Should I be worried? I just agreed with something Neal Gabler said. On yesterday's Fox News Watch, the liberal media critic opined that the MSM is backing Benazir Bhutto over Pervez Musharraf in the current Pakistan crisis -- and not for the loftiest of motives.And could Hillary fall prey to the scenario that brought down Michael Dukakis?

When Does the Kathleen Willey Book Tour Media Blitz Begin
November 9th, 2007 2:26 PM
In the past six years, any time someone wrote a tell-all book about George W. Bush or a member of his administration, they were given the royal treatment by the press with lavish interviews offering them the perfect platform to market their work as well as their politically charged opinions. Consider for example all the attention given to Valerie Plame Wilson just recently when her book "Fair…
Gibson Calls Olbermann a Liar for his Bush Criminal Conspiracy Rant
November 8th, 2007 3:09 PM
As NewsBusters reported, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann went on a ridiculously disgraceful rant during Monday's "Countdown" claiming, amongst other things, that "[T]he presidency of George W. Bush has now devolved into a criminal conspiracy to cover the ass of George W. Bush." On Wednesday, Fox News's John Gibson, during his radio program, took issue with Olbermann's tirade, and actually called the…
Responding to 'Morning Joe' Discussion of Obama Hand-on-Heart Controv
November 7th, 2007 3:36 PM
My October 20th item, "Obama: No Hand on Heart for National Anthem," focused on a "Time" photo of Barack Obama in Iowa in September at Sen. Tom Harkin's steak fry. In contrast with the other candidates, Obama was shown not placing his hand over his heart during the playing of the national anthem. A reproduction of the photo is seen here, as displayed on today's "Morning Joe."Video from November…

November 7th, 2007 1:10 PM
With news of a possible Rosie O’Donnell show on MSNBC, Bill O’Reilly, a frequent critic of both, predictably led the November 6 "O’Reilly Factor" with his take.O’Reilly rehashed Rosie O’Donnell’s most inflammatory comments.

Update (Nov. 8 | 13:00 EST): International and Beijing Olympic officials are denying any such Bible ban exists. Click here for the story.

Rosie O’Donnell Heading to MSNBC
November 5th, 2007 11:02 PM
Rosie O'Donnell on MSNBC. When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. After all, what could be better than three consecutive hours of leftwing invective starting with Chris Matthews, followed by Keith Olbermann, and ending with Rosie's ridiculous rants replete with repugnantly rude ruminations such as only she can regurgitate? It's a liberal cable network's dream. As reported by the…
Chris Wallace on the Biden Double Standard and Media’s Anti-war Bias
November 1st, 2007 7:08 PM
People that don't foolishly depend on the mainstream media for current events are painfully aware of the most recent round of racially insensitive statements made by Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.). As is typical, this went largely ignored by press outlets that would have been all over the remarks had a Republican presidential candidate made them. Of course, these same media members are also hesitant to…

October 31st, 2007 1:18 PM
Boxing enthusiasts saw quite a barnburner Tuesday evening when conservative author Ann Coulter took on liberal media member Alan Colmes on Fox News's "Hannity and Colmes." As this was the first time the pair met since Coulter's now famous "Jews need to be perfected" comment, it was a metaphysical certitude this issue would surface. Not surprisingly, Colmes did not disappoint, as irrespective of…
