Nothing to See Here: Anderson Cooper and Piers Morgan Barely Mention O
March 29th, 2012 12:50 PM
CNN's own legal analyst described Wednesday morning's Supreme Court hearing on ObamaCare as a "trainwreck" for the Obama administration and added "it may also be a plane wreck" – but prime-time hosts Anderson Cooper and Piers Morgan made only one brief mention between them of the bill's rough morning in court, during Wednesday night's prime-time coverage. In fact, during Tuesday and Wednesday…
AP Headline on House's Unanimous Rejection of Obama Budget: 'GOP-run H
March 29th, 2012 12:44 PM
Every Congressman who voted on President Obama's budget on Wednesday voted against it -- every Democrat and every Republican.
The headline writer for Andrew Taylor's related story at the Associated Press nonetheless felt it necessary to remind readers that Republicans have a majority in the House of Representatives, and only told readers that Dear Leader's budget was "easily" rejected. The…
After Massacre of Children By Islamist, NYTimes Frets Only About 'Dive
March 29th, 2012 8:01 AM
Peculiar priorities at the New York Times. Reporter Scott Sayare, in Toulouse in the aftermath of the killings of seven by a radical Muslim, seemed to think that the top story out of the tragedy was Muslim fear of rising tensions and loss of "diversity": "After Killings in France, Muslims Fear a Culture of Diversity Is at Risk."
Toulouse is by no means without racism, anti-Semitism, crime or…
NPR Hypes Threat to Federal Programs If Court Rules Against ObamaCare
March 28th, 2012 11:36 PM
On Wednesday's Morning Edition, NPR's pro-ObamaCare shill Julie Rovner predictably lined up backers of the contested law. Rover again cited the Kaiser Family Foundation and failed to mention their liberal leanings. She also turned to a former Clinton administration official, without identifying her as such, and played five total clips from liberals, versus only two from a conservative.

March 28th, 2012 11:32 AM
Commonly used history textbooks in American classrooms often misrepresent major historical events, and present material based in liberal political ideology rather than factual happenings.
The Culture and Media Institute has obtained six textbooks commonly used in American classrooms. Three of these textbooks are used to teach 8th graders: Glencoe’s “The American Journey,” Prentice Hall’s “…
AP Says Obama's Uncle, Slapped on Wrist for OUI, Is 'Appealing' Deport
March 27th, 2012 6:04 PM
Leave it to the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Propagandists, to cover for Barack Obama's Uncle Omar, formally known as Onyango Obama. Today, Uncle Omar was given a slap on the wrists so light it's hard to imagine he even felt it.
Today's AP cleanup in Massachusetts arrives via Denise Lavoie, whose principal contribution to the spin is to tell readers that Uncle Omar is "appealing…
AP National Headline: 'Pa. GOP senator convicted,' But Dem Former Pa
March 27th, 2012 1:07 AM
That the Associated Press gives stories about corrupt and scandalous politicians disparate treatment depending on their party affiliation is not exactly breaking news. But it's ordinarily difficult to point to situations involving fairly similar sets of facts occurring at roughly the same time which make the disparity between the wire service's treatment of Republicans and Democrats so obvious…

MSNBC Contributor Derides Conservative Argument Against ObamaCare Mand
March 26th, 2012 3:54 PM
Taking the Constitution's limits on federal power seriously is just, well, backwards to liberal journalists. Take Ari Melber of The Nation. Sitting on the panel on the March 26 edition of Now with Alex Wagner, the MSNBC contributor dismissed as "retrograde" the notion that the ObamaCare individual mandate -- the provision forcing Americans to buy private health insurance or else pay a fine to…
CBS Rips GOP Candidates For Daring to Question European Socialism
March 26th, 2012 1:50 PM
CBS's Allen Pizzey completely whitewashed the struggling European economy on CBS Sunday Morning to bash the Republican presidential candidates' attack on President Obama's economic policies. Pizzey zeroed-in on Germany's lower unemployment rate and cited left-leaning Professor James Walston, who claimed that "the candidates are dealing in caricatures of Europe that are about 90% wrong."
The…
Bozell on Hannity Discusses 'Language of the Left
March 26th, 2012 11:59 AM
"It took the networks nine months before one of them made a mention of" the time that MSNBC anchor and left-wing radio host Ed Schultz slammed conservative radio talker Laura Ingraham as a "slut," and it was just "one story" compared to "46 [stories] in ten days" on the Limbaugh/Fluke controversy, NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell noted on the March 23 Hannity.

'Mis-Tweetment': Roland Martin Tells David Steinberg of PJ Media He Sh
March 25th, 2012 12:14 AM

Protests Against HHS Abortifacient Mandate in 140 Cities; Will Media C
March 23rd, 2012 12:00 PM
ABC, CBS, and NBC covered the far-left Occupy Wall Street movement with glee during 2011, devoting 33 stories on the air during the first eleven days of October alone to publicizing the protests. However, the Big Three networks have yet to mention the planned demonstrations in 140 cities across the U.S. today at noon local time against the Obama administration's sterilization, abortifacient,…
