Hey, at least he didn't call Fox racist.

Speaking on CNN’s "Reliable Sources" Sunday, the former Democratic president took aim at the cable news channel climate, often a target for President Obama as well who says he tries to avoid the cable chatter.

Former Clinton labor secretary Robert Reich made a couple of rather startling comments on ABC's "This Week" Sunday.

During the Roundtable segment, the devout liberal not only defended former governor Sarah Palin as a "realistic candidate" for president, but also questioned whether or not the government bailout of GM was necessary (video follows with transcript and commentary):

A year ago today, NewsBusters was one of the first websites to break the story that eventually became known as ClimateGate.

There have been a lot of articles concerning this anniversary in recent days, and by far the most comprehensive analysis of this issue - including what it has meant to those advancing the theory of anthropogenic global warming as well as the atrocious media coverage of the scandal - was penned by Marc Sheppard at the American Thinker.

The National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce held their seventh annual Business and Leadership Conference in Washington from Thursday to Saturday. One of the "Manager Level" corporate sponsors was The Washington Post. The Post didn't just fund it. They participated. On Friday afternoon, the program touted their Communities of Color Business Initiative, with speaker Jonathan Capehart (page 18 of the program):

MSNBC contributor and Washington Post editorial writer Jonathan Capehart will lead a discussion among business owners and professionals of color about their experiences in the marketplace and how the LGBT business community can help break down barriers empower diverse businesses. Roundtable attendees are encouraged to share stories of success and challenge and bring ideas that will help the NGLCC grow the CCBI.

The keynote speaker for the conference was Obama's Commerce Secretary, Gary Locke. There's no question that what the Post is funding here is a socially liberal advocacy group:

According to Rob Shuter of Popeater.com, folks at ABC are apoplectic over the possibility that Bristol Palin might emerge victorious in the season finale of "Dancing With the Stars" Tuesday night.

By design or accident, it appears as though a 20 year-old single mother is using the power of popular culture to single handedly transform the left by ginning up their rage to a point where they now see the light when it comes to rewarding merit and opposing voter fraud. This quite possibly ranks as the most important political and social triumph of 2010.

On August 27, Ed Schultz told his radio audience he was within striking distance of overcoming Fox New's "Special Report with Bret Baier" in the 6PM cable news ratings.

Schultz challenged his sycophant devotees to help him accomplish this goal by the midterm elections (video follows with commentary):

Unreal.

First, the American people have to deal with the insult of a show trial where all the evidence is thrown out because the civilian courts are not equipped to deal with evidence gained by the military. So the terrorist, the MASTERMIND, mind you, gets convicted of a technicality.

Second, the Obama administration blames the Bush administration.

Newsweek's "Conventional Wisdom" box at the front of the magazine has never been about what the "conventional" or public opinion is, but about Newsweek cheerleading for its liberal heroes and sneering at conservative foes. The November 15 issue gave the Tea Party and Sarah Palin sideways arrows after the Republican rout. (The voters also drew a sideways arrow, but only because they'd picked Obama in 2008).

But what's really shameless is Newsweek offering an up-arrow to itself. In the November 22 issue, when it was sold for a dollar (and the assumption of its debts). The merger with Barry Diller's Daily Beast only brings it another step into the shameless liberal opinion world online. But "Newsbeast" gets an up arrow for bringing in British leftist Tina Brown as the editor. A smiling Brown is pictured inside the up arrow and the copy is goopy:
