NBC, CBS Fail to Cover AFL-CIO's 'Impassioned' Rejection of ObamaCare
September 12th, 2013 12:05 PM
NBC and CBS on Wednesday night and Thursday morning failed to cover the "impassioned" demand by big labor unions to reject large portions of ObamaCare. Only ABC's Good Morning America, allowing just a 24-second news brief, covered the complaints that the law will spike the cost of health care. At a convention in Los Angeles, the AFL-CIO adopted an angry resolution in opposition. [See video…
Andrea Mitchell's Pro-Obama Syria Spin Too Much Even For Carville
September 12th, 2013 8:40 AM
How do you know when an MSM member is pushing pro-Obama spin to the absurd? When even the most partisan of Dems, in the person of James Carville, can't stomach it.
On today's Morning Joe, Andrea Mitchell, claiming that the world was "coalescing" around Obama's position on Syria, said that there was "a lot of optimism" surrounding the Obama team's negotiations with the Russians. Mitchell…
MSNBC Guest Joan Walsh Calls Limbaugh 'Racist Troll
September 11th, 2013 6:21 PM
Appearing as a guest on MSNBC's PoliticsNation on Monday, Joan Walsh of Salon.com tagged Rush Limbaugh as a "racist troll" after a clip of the conservative talk radio host criticizing President Obama for being indecisive on Syria, quipping that American military action ordered by Obama should be called "Operation Shuck and Jive."
Host Al Sharpton called Limbaugh's words "ugly" as he introduced…
Man Robs Bank Wearing Obama Mask, Will Media Say He's Racist
September 11th, 2013 6:20 PM
When a rodeo clown wore an Obama mask last month, the liberal media behaved as if he had committed a lynching.
Will they act the same way when they hear about the man that robbed a bank in New Hampshire Wednesday wearing a - wait for it! - Obama mask?
Andrea Mitchell: Can You Blame Obama For Not Calling On Congress In Sy
September 11th, 2013 5:47 PM
President Obama has been facing an unusual amount of criticism lately for his handling of the Syrian crisis, so it was only a matter of time before someone in the mainstream liberal media tried to cut him some slack for his weak leadership. On Wednesday’s Andrea Mitchell Reports on MSNBC, the host-turned-apologist asked if Obama could really be blamed for not calling on Congress to authorize a…
Risking Whiplash, Ed Schultz Slams GOP for Opposing Obama Plan to Hit
September 11th, 2013 5:20 PM
There you have it, solid evidence that radio libtalker and MSNBC foghorn Ed Schultz is a degenerate racist -- he disagrees with President Obama's plan to hit the Assad regime with military strikes if necessary.
After all, a disagreement like that is all it has taken for Schultz and like-minded lefties to vilify conservatives for years as dog-whistle-blowing racists. Suddenly I understand why…
More People Watched Obama's Syria Address on Fox Than CNN and MSNBC Co
September 11th, 2013 5:19 PM
If you believe what the liberal media claim, Fox News is an Obama-bashing network exclusively watched by Obama haters.
It should come as a great shock to such folk that more Americans watched the President's address about Syria on Fox Tuesday than on CNN and MSNBC combined.
Time Magazine Notes Difficulty, High Cost of Destroying Chemical Weapo
September 11th, 2013 3:37 PM
One does not simply destroy a nation's cache of chemical weapons. It's actually a rather complicated and expensive endeavor, despite how neat and simple the president's acolytes seem to be making it out to be. In fact, the United States government is decades into the process of eliminating American chemical weapons. What's more, the U.S. government is six years past its previous 2007 deadline…
Politico's Budoff Brown Dutifully Translates Obama's Head-scratching S
September 11th, 2013 2:01 PM
Apparently we can't grasp the full brilliance and nuance of Barack Obama's speeches without having someone from the establishment press telling us what he really meant to say when he said what he really said.
That's the impression one gets from reading "What President Obama said, what he meant" early Wedesday at the Politico. In it, along with an accompanying video dedicated to the same idea…
Leno: ‘You Can Tell Fall Is Coming…Leaves Are Changing Faster Than
September 11th, 2013 11:57 AM
Jay Leno was at his comedic best Tuesday evening.
The NBC Tonight Show host spent much of his opening monologue lampooning President Obama beginning with, “It's still a little warm, but you can tell fall is coming...The leaves are changing faster than the White House position on Syria” (video and transcript follow):
Cokie Roberts: ObamaCare Would Have Been Defunded If Obama Lost Syria
September 11th, 2013 10:27 AM
Liberal media members are clearly overjoyed that there’s – at least for the time being – not going to be a vote in Congress concerning a military strike on Syria.
On MSNBC’s Morning Joe Wednesday, NPR’s Cokie Roberts outlined the left's doomsday scenario saying, “If he had lost this vote, which he was clearly about to do, it would have been everything: immigration would have been down the…
AP 'Fact Check' Tells Readers 'Obama's Syria Case Still Lacks Proof
September 11th, 2013 10:20 AM
For well over two weeks, the Obama administration has been urging military action against the Assad regime in Syria for its use of chemical weapons.
At the Associated Press, in a "Fact Check" item at its "Big Story" site, Calvin Woodward told readers that "President Barack Obama voiced his conviction Tuesday night that Syrian President Bashar Assad was to blame for deadly chemical attacks…
Bozell Column: Benghazi, Censored or Spun
September 10th, 2013 11:22 PM
When we last checked in on Barack Obama discussing Benghazi on the network news, he was reassuring Brian Williams on the October 25 “Rock Center” that “We’re going to do a full investigation.” It’s a year later and it’s still “we are going to.” Last fall, Williams and Obama posed as curious for answers on how this disaster happened. Neither of them has demonstrated any noticeable curiosity…
At AP, an Incoherent Headline For Report on Obama's Speech
September 10th, 2013 10:38 PM
Maybe my processing of the English language isn't what it used to be, but I'm having a hard time making sense of the headline at David Espo's and Julie Pace's report (saved here at host for future reference, fair use and discussion purposes) at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, on President Obama's Syria speech tonight.
The headline? "OBAMA DELAYS SYRIA VOTE, SAYS…
