Bashir Bashes Romney's 4th of July Holiday Plans, Gushes Over Obama's
On MSNBC, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee can't even get fair treatment when he takes a vacation.

AP: Obama Tells Celebrities They're the 'Ultimate Arbiter' of America
Does Middle America really want their country run by celebrities, a kitchen cabinet of divas and Clooneys and Snookis? That’s what was implied in an AP story by Ben Feller titled "Obama to Celebrities: 'You're the Ultimate Arbiter of Which Direction This Country Goes.'"

NPR's Shameless Plug for Michelle Obama's 'Workout Mix
Don’t think National Public Radio isn’t on the bandwagon of “state-run media” that run oozy profiles that make the Obamas more “friendly and personable” than the Republicans. On Thursday’s Morning Edition, NPR anchor Renee Montagne shared with the country the First Lady’s “Workout Mix” – since she’s the national fitness nanny.
The three songs recommended weren’t the story – some Beyonce,…
First Lady Requires Photo ID for Her Book Signings; Voter ID Law-hatin
The Obama administration has done its best to oppose states from instituting new, stricter voter ID laws, complaining that many minority voters lack photo identification. But those same folks it wants voting in November are apparently not welcome anywhere near the First Lady's book signings.

Martin Bashir: Michelle Obama's Anti-Obesity Campaign Based on Warning
NewsBusters readers know that one of my guilty pleasures is pointing out the stupidity of America's television personalities.

Barbara Walters Pushes Michelle Obama to Run for Office: 'You'd Be a V
Barbara Walters either deeply adores Michelle Obama or she was just acting like an extreme guest-coddler on The View Tuesday. She suggested that if President Obama lost the election – and she then lifted her hands to her mouth in horror – Mrs. Obama could have a career of her own since she would be “a very popular candidate.”
Walters began: “There have been rumors – if the president is not…
