May 19th, 2011 11:55 AM
Even some liberal journalists are rolling their eyes at the Obama campaign's dopey move to sell campaign merchandise emblazoned with the president's birth certificate.
Time's Adam Sorensen scoffed that the "Birtherism Death Watch [Has] Jumped the Shark" in a May 18 Swampland blog post:
Time Anoints Obama Ambassador Jon Huntsman as the GOP 'Cool Kid' In We
May 18th, 2011 10:47 AM
Time magazine’s not being shy about who they like in 2012 GOP presidential field. A big spread in the May 23 edition is headlined "The Cool Kid: Jon Huntsman is a pro-civil union Mormon who spent nearly two years working for Obama." The main emphasis followed:
He is, after all, a pro-civil-union Mormon who has just finished nearly two years of service for Obama in the land many Americans…
Time's Grunwald: Florida 'Insane' to Have Rejected High-Speed Rail; Pr
May 12th, 2011 4:23 PM
According to Time's Michael Grunwald, it was insane for Florida Governor Rick Scott (R) to reject $2.4 billion for a Tampa-Orlando high-speed rail project.
And yet in the same Swampland blog post he confessed that a similar high-speed rail project going forward in California is dubious at best and that Scott's rejection of the pork project means that the money is now broken up to aid rail…

May 4th, 2011 8:25 AM
For many years media members spearheaded by schlockumentary filmmaker Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" have mocked former President George W. Bush for continuing to read "The Pet Goat" to second-graders after hearing about the attacks on the World Trade Center.
On Tuesday, Time magazine reported that some of the kids in that classroom are speaking out about what happened that morning, and…

April 29th, 2011 6:17 PM
The pastor who preached the Easter sermon that Barack Obama heard this past Sunday is not another Jeremiah Wright, Time's Amy Sullivan insists in an April 29 blog "Swampland" blog post entitled "Conservatives Go After Another Obama Pastor."
Sullivan was responding to the complaints of conservative talkers Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, who highlighted some controversial remarks Smith made to…
Time Highlights Letter: 'Hell = Spending Eternity with Evangelicals
April 26th, 2011 5:09 PM
Time magazine is so biased that it even slams conservative Christians in the letters to the editor. Former Newsweek editor Jon Meacham's piece on pastor Rob Bell asking "Is Hell Dead?" apparently drew only one letter of opposition worth printing. Here's the one Time put in bold, large type:
"Hell is easy to define. It would be spending eternity with evangelicals." -- Don Koons, DALLAS…
Time's Pork 100: Most Influential List in Media Led by...Joe Scarborou
April 21st, 2011 2:22 PM
Turn a few pages of the "Time 100" -- ostensibly the "most influential people in the world" -- and you can easily see it as a gimmick, and not a serious attempt to measure influence. Look no further than the media. In the new 2011 list, one media name stands out -- Joe Scarborough, the liberal-pleasing "Republican" MSNBC host Mark Levin calls "The Morning Schmo." There are no Fox News hosts…
Time: Your Icemaker Is Killing the Earth
April 18th, 2011 4:37 PM
This just in, courtesy of Time Magazine: Mother Gaia is dying and your ice maker is the perp. Continue churning out ice with your automated cube-maker, and you'll be contributing to the plight of the 50 million refugees the United Nations insists anthropogenic global warming has caused will cause by 2020.
Time took a study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology showing…
Chris Matthews: 'Why Is Taxing The Rich So Hard
April 17th, 2011 3:10 PM
As NewsBusters has been reporting, since President Obama once again proposed letting the Bush tax cuts expire for the highest earning Americans, the media have been supporting it almost 24 hours a day.
Doing his part this weekend was Chris Matthews who after the introduction of the syndicated program bearing his name actually began the show, "Why is taxing the rich so hard?" (video follows…
Time's Jon Meacham Asks 'Is Hell Dead
April 14th, 2011 1:15 PM
In 1966, Time magazine's April 8 cover story famously asked "Is God Dead?"
Forty-five years later the magazine is still hard at work attempting to discredit traditional Christian faith, with former Newsweek writer Jon Meacham exploring the question "Is Hell Dead?"
Meacham doesn't answer the question definitively but used the raging controversy over Michigan pastor Rob Bell's new book "Love…
Time's Klein Hails Obama As 'Mr. Prudent' on Federal Budget, Blasts R
April 14th, 2011 10:42 AM
President Obama is "Mr. Prudent," a grown-up heralding "deficit sanity" in a Washington gone mad with "delusional" Republican plans for draconian budget cuts and tax breaks for the wealthy.
That's the predictable leftist talking point-laden take that Time magazine's Joe Klein had after listening to President Obama's hectoring lecture yesterday at George Washington University (emphasis mine):
Time Finds Robert Redford in Denial: 'I'm Not a Left-Wing Person
April 12th, 2011 7:29 AM
Time's Ten Questions to Robert Redford drew some silly answers -- like Redford denying he's a lefty.
How helpful or harmful to your career has it been to be known as someone who is passionate about politics?
I am passionate. I am political about my country, about what it is, how strong it is, how strong it remains. [My last film,] Lions for Lambs, got rough treatment, and I think it was…
