HBO's Maher Repeats False Claims in Trashing 'Insane' Ben Carson
On Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher, the liberal HBO comedian opened the show trashing GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson by not only including him in a joke about Bill Cosby's history of rape, but also by advancing false assertions that Dr. Carson claimed to be "cured" of prostate cancer by a controversial nutritional supplement when video shows Carson clearly did not claim the…
Blogger Kevin Drum: ‘Virtually No Scandal’ In Obama White House
Even though Mother Jones blogger Kevin Drum describes Charles Krauthammer as a “hardcore conservative,” he suggested in a Friday post that Krauthammer is too enlightened to be on the same page as most right-wingers regarding Obama White House scandals.
When Krauthammer argued recently against the effort to impeach IRS commissioner John Koskinen, he commented that on matters including the IRS/Tea…

Surprise: CNN Touts Model 'Giving Hope To Others With Disabilities'
CNN refreshingly spotlighted a teen model with Down syndrome on Wednesday's New Day. Dr. Sanjay Gupta reported that 18-year-old Madeline Stuart's "modeling career is taking off. She walked the runway during Europe Fashion Week this fall, and won a contract to be the face of lipstick company Glossigirl — all of which her mom says is giving hope to others with disabilities." Down syndrome people…
Politico Story on Mentally-Ill Politicians Features Photo of Goldwater
Politico Magazine runs a long article by Alex Thompson today with the provocative headline: "Could America Elect a Mentally Ill President? Yes. In fact, we probably already did." The story discusses the possible mental issues, and documented consumption of drugs used to treat mental illness, of numerous politicians, including several presidents, among them JFK, LBJ and Nixon.
But here's the—…
Feminist: There Are Zero Links Between Abortion and Mental Health
Like the Wizard of Oz who told people to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, abortion advocates are desperate to draw the public's attention away from the health problems abortion can bring to women. To that end, Amanda Marcotte has penned an article for The Guardian entitled "Why anti-choice campaigners won't let science get in their way."
According to Marcotte, the "anti-choicers"…
Bozell & Graham Column: About That Campaign to Dump Trump from 'SNL'
Weeks after NBC granted Hillary Clinton the favor of appearing on Saturday Night Live, playing a bartender to the actress who impersonates her on the comedy show, the same leftist activists who adored that routine are trying to prevent Donald Trump from hosting the show on November 7.
A group called "The National Hispanic Leadership Agenda" has written a letter to NBC objecting to the booking.…
AP Minimizes Seriousness of Recent Declines in Pending Home Sales
Here's what should be an easy question: With data which has already been seasonally adjusted, what's more important — a) the fact that an index is a) up by 3 percent in the past year or b) the fact that it has fallen 5 percent in the past four months?
The correct answer is obviously b) — unless you're a writer for the Associated Press whose mission is to convince readers that the housing market…
Gay Left Hates Movie With 'Sensationalistic' Sex 'Reassignment' Plot
Having sung the praises of Caitlyn Jenner and Laverne Cox for all they’ve done for the transgender community, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) certainly doesn’t sound thrilled about a new movie that stars actress Michelle Rodriguez playing the role of a “male to female” transgender hitman/hitwoman.
As The Hollywood Reporter (THR) explains, Tomboy: A Revenger’s Tale, “…

NBC Minimizes Covering RNC Suspending Future GOP Presidential Debate
Friday's NBC Nightly News set aside just 34 seconds of air time to the Republican National Committee suspending its planned February 2016 debate with NBC. The evening newscast surrounded this coverage with over two minutes of reporting on other 2016 presidential campaign developments, focusing on the spat between Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush. By contrast, ABC's World News Tonight and CBS Evening News…
CNBC Moderators' Speech Patterns Grade At or Below GOP Candidates'
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. And people who ridicule the level of others' speech patterns should check theirs first.
CNBC didn't do that. Instead, on Thursday, as I noted in a previous NewsBusters post, it childishly rushed out a grade-level evaluation of the Republican presidential candidates' speech patterns during the first three debates, including the Wednesday train wreck…
Frank Rich: Jeb Had Uphill Task After Dad, Dubya Helped Wreck GOP
The New York magazine writer-at-large and former New York Times columnist and theater critic says Jeb's problems included not only Dubya’s war in Iraq and pre-9/11 “national-security failures” but also the supposedly unsavory, extreme-right types that 41 and 43 attracted to the GOP, thereby contributing to its ruin.

Nets Censor Hillary E-Mail Dump to Instead Hype Giant Flying Pumpkin
On Friday evening, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC all ignored the latest dump of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails from the State Department that included the retroactive classification of 268 e-mails that now makes for one out of every 16 e-mails that have been “released” to the public since her private e-mail server scandal was unearthed in March.
