NPR and David Brooks Help Hillary Take Benghazi 'Victory Lap'
A "week in politics" like Hillary's latest Benghazi hearing really proves the usefulness of "conservative" public-broadcasting pundit David Brooks. What better way to prove Hillary completely trounced her opponents on the public stage than your completely cooperative "conservative" expert declare the whole thing a rout for Hillary? Brooks denounced a conservative anti-Clinton "psychosis" on both…
What? Romney Decries Rise of Conservative Media
Mitt Romney sounded just like a liberal reporter. “There was a time when we all got the news with the same facts, if you will. We had three networks we watched for the evening news. Most of us got newspapers. Everybody in the middle class got a newspaper, so we got the same facts whether we agreed or not with them.”
Now, according to Romney, people “get their news on the web” and “they tend to…
Not News: UAW Mulls Plan to Milk Unemployment System in a GM Strike
The news coming out of Detroit about near-deadline negotiations between the United Auto Workers union and General Motors has been pretty quiet. As the Sunday 11:59 p.m. deadline approaches, the Associated Press only has a four-paragraph blurb indicating that the union wants to get a richer package than it just garnered in negotiations with Fiat Chrysler. A Reuters report goes into detail about GM…
Amanda Marcotte: Paul Ryan Thinks Family Life’s Only For the Rich
After Paul Ryan vowed that he wouldn’t reduce time spent with his family even if he became Speaker of the House, quite a few liberals accused the Wisconsin congressman of hypocrisy given that he has, in the words of one feminist site, “spent much of his political career fighting laws that promote realistic work-life balance for parents.”
Lefty pundit Marcotte believes that Ryan is even worse…
NYT Indulges Palestinian 'Protest Songs' Encouraging Stabbing of Jews
Jodi Rudoren and Rami Nazzal reported from the West Bank on the front page of Friday's New York Times: "Palestinians Set Their Rage to Violent Beat." The worst thing that Rudoren, the Jerusalem bureau chief, and Nazzal had to say about a new rash of "protest songs" (!) by Palestinians celebrating the stabbing of Jews is that they are "blunt" and "weak musically." (A sample lyric: "Stab, stab the…
AP's Bauder Enlists As An Accomplice to the Cinematic Fraud of 'Truth'
The press has consumed many barrels of ink and gigs of bandwidth providing free promotion for the eminently misnamed movie Truth, thus far virtually for naught.
On Thursday, the Associated Press's David Bauder did his part to generate interest by pretending, despite obviously forged documents and a virtually complete lack of anything resembling corroborating evidence, that what Dan Rather and…

BLM Advocate Provokes Bill O'Reilly Into Cutting off His Microphone
During Thursday night's edition of The O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel, host Bill O'Reilly tried to demonstrate the bad judgment of the Democratic National Committee allying itself with the Black Lives Matter movement, which has members who have called for violence against police officers in protests all across the country.
However, Keith Boykin, an African-American who once served as a…

Wash Post's Bump: My Doctor Trumps Hillary's in Assessing Her Health
A mini-war broke out yesterday between the Washington Post's Philip Bump, who would apparently prefer to keep discussions of Hillary Clinton's health off the table, and Matt Drudge. As would be expected, Drudge won in a rout, while Bump continues to pretend that he didn't.
Bump, in his disingenuous Friday morning entry at the Post's all too appropriately named "The Fix" blog, told readers that…

CBS Evening News Airs Pro-Gun Rights Segment Decrying Gun-Free Zones
Friday's CBS Evening News actually gave a platform to a pro-gun rights conservative, just four days after it aired a segment from gun control advocate Andy Parker, who attacked the National Rifle Association as a bunch of "cowards" who were "blocking...sensible gun legislation." The segment featured the executive director of the Gun Owners of America, Larry Pratt, who contended that "the problem…
Bozell & Graham Column: Rupert Murdoch's Houses of Horror
When James Carville rants that Rep. Trey Gowdy is a super-villain spawned by Rupert Murdoch, conservatives could reply by noting that Murdoch has much less of a financial connection to Gowdy than he does to gay leftist TV producer Ryan Murphy, who had one hit with Glee and an ugly garbage barge of other TV programs.
In June of 2012, Murphy hosted a $25,000-per-person event at his Beverly Hills…
NYT's Brooks Sees 'Psychosis' in GOPers 'Obsessed' With Benghazi
Appearing in the regular "Shields and Brooks" segment of the PBS NewsHour on Friday, New York Times columnist David Brooks asserted that the Benghazi hearing this week yielded a "big nothingburger," and theorized that there is a "psychosis" around Republicans being "obsessed" with pursuing Clinton scandals.
Trevor Noah on Hearing: Hillary's 'Gangsta,' Gowdy's a 'Baby Possum'
The Daily Show host Trevor Noah wasted no time on Thursday night taking jabs at Republicans and the Benghazi hearing that featured Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton's testimony.
Noah compared the 11 hour hearing to binge-watching a Netflix series. He said we watched it all because “I don’t Benghazi, I binge-ghazi," mocking the hearing and seeming to…
