The Associated Press reported on Aug. 6, that viewers saw an…

Global warming is caused by colder and snowier winters according to AOL. If the weather is warmer, the cause is global warming but if it becomes colder, global warming is also the culprit. No matter how the climate changes, the reason will always be global warming.  

Media critics, decidedly un-conservative for the most part, are piling on Arianna-OL in the wake of  what is increasingly being seen as a disastrous merger.

Four months ago, when AOL chairman Tim Armstrong needed something to revitalize his…

On Friday's "Fox & Friends," NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell and Fox News host Steve Doocy discussed the recent sale of the liberal Huffington Post blog to AOL. "I'm going to buy popcorn, I'm going to watch this meltdown," a gleeful Bozell told Doocy. Huffington, who will be editor-in-chief for the new AOL venture, is "not going to get along with anybody," perpetually clashing with…

"AOL giving control to Arianna Huffington. How the mighty have fallen!" NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell quipped on the February 10 edition of FNC's "Hannity." "Ten years ago, AOL had 30 million members, they were joining forces with the Time-Warner colossus," the Media Research Center founder noted.

Arianna Huffington's crazy left-wing, pro-Democrat website gets bought out by AOL for $315 million.

Newsweek's effort to take a stab at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on the heels of her book tour appears to be backfiring - at least from a legal standpoint. Recently, the latest cover of Newsweek took an image of Palin that originally appeared in Runner's World magazine.

Editor's Note/Update below: AOL editor's email and further business connections revealed.AOL News has been bending over backwards lately to make sure that they do not cover the controversy surrounding Playboy.com writer Guy Cimbalo's vile attack on conservative women.
