Editor’s note: Story contains explicit language. Conservatives aren’t the only ones who’ve had enough of celebrities’ browbeating on political issues.

Bloomberg Columnist: Tina Fey, Jon Stewart More Universal Than Pope

April 6th, 2015 6:16 PM
I hadn't before seen Will Leitch, the Deadspin creator who now writes on politics for Bloomberg, in action.  But on today's With All Due Respect, I found him funny and affable. Even so, he made one left-leaning assertion so absurd it was too much even for show host John Heilemann.  Running parallel with the NCAA tourney, Bloomberg has been running a bracket of 64 non-presidential candidates.  In…

Campbell Brown Nixes Dennis Miller for Daily Show: 'Right Wing'

March 9th, 2015 6:09 PM
Did Campbell Brown just give away a dirty little secret: that conservatives are blacklisted in the entertainment business?     On today's With All Due Respect, Brown and John Heilemann were kicking around the results of a poll as to whom Americans prefer to replace Jon Stewart as Daily Show host.   Tina Fey came in first, with Dennis Miller a close second.  Said Brown: "I can't imagine Dennis…

Cable ‘News’ Network: CNN Devotes Multiple Segments to Mockery, Cr

March 21st, 2013 1:17 PM
Is this Jeff Zucker's new vision for CNN? Instead of reporting hard-hitting news, Thursday's 9 a.m. ET hour of Newsroom featured conservatives getting whacked by a gauntlet of talking heads, celebrities, and centrist and liberal guests.

Pelosi Called 'Jackass' Before Cameo Appearance on '30 Rock' Finale

February 2nd, 2013 2:58 PM
Liberals were all atwitter a few months ago over the news that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was going to be doing a cameo role on the series finale of 30 Rock. I wonder how they felt when she was called a "jackass” right before her appearance (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):

Julianne Moore Praises Tina Fey and Katie Couric for Making 'Significa

January 14th, 2013 9:57 AM
It certainly was no surprise that HBO's schlockudrama "Game Change" won best TV movie at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards. But when Julianne Moore accepted her award for best actress for her role in said piece of detritus, it was truly sick-making hearing her say, "I'd like to give a shoutout to two people who I think made a significant difference in 2008 election, Tina Fey and Katie Couric" (…

NBC's Hurricane Sandy Telethon Never Once Mentions Obama

November 3rd, 2012 12:36 PM
When NBC announced Thursday it was doing a "Coming Together" telethon to raise money for Hurricane Sandy victims, many people including myself worried that given the list of scheduled performers, it would turn into a one-hour Obama campaign ad. Much to my surprise and delight, Matt Lauer and guests did a classy, somber, respectful, and at times tear-jerking presentation totally absent…

Someone at Fox News has some serious 'splaining to do. During a Sunday segment about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's interview with Chris Wallace earlier in the day, a picture of Tina Fey impersonating her nemesis was accidentally placed in the upper-right corner of the screen:

May 10th, 2011 12:01 AM
As NewsBusters previously reported, NBC's Tina Fey once again impersonated former Alaska governor Sarah Palin while guest hosting this weekend's "Saturday Night Live."

Tina Fey As Palin: 'We Finally Vanquished One of the World's Great Vil

May 8th, 2011 8:06 AM
NBC's Tina Fey guest-hosted "Saturday Night Live" last evening, and viewers could hardly be surprised her network took the opportunity to once again use her to bash former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. In a mock Republican presidential candidates debate, before depicting Palin as an idiot that doesn't fully understand English, Fey did manage to take a humorous swipe at the soon to be exiting…

To Review Tina Fey Memoir, NPR Hires...Janeane Garofalo

April 6th, 2011 11:07 PM
In the midst of Republicans insisting on defunding NPR, the network thumbed its nose at the GOP again on Tuesday night's All Things Considered newscast by having a book review offered by hard-left "comedian" and failed radio host Janeane Garofalo. The book she reviewed was Tina Fey's new memoir, titled Bossypants. Garofalo spent most of the review in a rut of self-pity, but this political…
