The Horror: NYT's Timothy Egan Forced to Watch Fox News
I only am escaped alone to tell thee: Timothy Egan, a liberal reporter turned columnist for the New York Times, was forced to watch Fox News at the gym and lived to tell his readers about the horror in a Thursday post at nytimes.com, "The Clown and the Cop."

Former RNC Chair Steele Tells Chris Matthews He's 'A Good Sycophant' f
We at NewsBusters have been calling MSNBC's Chris Matthews a sycophant for Barack Obama since at least February 2008 when the so-called journalist bragged on the air about getting a thrill up his leg at the sound of the former junior senator from Illinois' voice.
It was therefore quite pleasing to hear former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele tell the Hardball host that to…

AP Says Higher State Tax Collections 'Could' Reduce Public-Sector Layo
Maybe the answer to eliminating much of the annoying bias in establishment press business reporting is to have the reporters involved eliminate the could-might-maybe statements which almost inevitably follow the initial relay of the primary news.
Take the first paragraph of Christopher Rugaber's report Tuesday on recent increases in state tax collections (bolds are mine throughout this post):
AP's Crutsinger Omits Key Facts in Report on May Deficit, Engages in U
To illustrate how factually negligent this afternoon's report by Martin Crutsinger at the Associated Press on the federal government's financial results embodied in its Monthly Treasury Statement was, let's take a look at how Pedro Nicolaci da Costa at Reuters communicated more in a four-sentence brief than the AP reporter did in 18 painful paragraphs.
Here is da Costa's item, in full:

The Media’s Lockstep Elation About a Chevy Volt Non-Improvement
The $82 billion auto bailout has been a Crony Socialist nightmare mess. We’re going to lose at least $30 billion on the deal. And that’s only if the Barack Obama Administration’s math can be trusted - a dicey proposition at best.
The Administration eviscerated two hundred-plus years of bankruptcy law, throwing bond holders over the side to over-reward their United Auto Workers shock force…

Chris Matthews Calls Obama's Jobs Plans 'Pissant
MSNBC's Chris Matthews is clearly worried the President that once gave him a thrill up his leg is not going to get reelected.

CNN's Crowley and O'Brien 'Don't Buy' Clinton Not Knowing When Bush Ta

Wolf Blitzer Lets Bill Clinton Absurdly Claim He Thought Bush Tax Cuts
Back in the '90s, many people called CNN the "Clinton News Network" because it was so obviously partial to the Democratic President from Arkansas.

O'Reilly laughed off the remark. "How many drinks did he have? I mean this…
Newsweek Headline: 'Is Barack Obama Too Weak to Win in November
It's becoming clearer with each passing day the Obama-loving media are now in a full-scale panic that the man they helped get elected in 2008 is in serious trouble to repeat that feat in 2012.
Take for example Newsweek/Daily Beast which published a piece moments ago with the somewhat shocking headline, "Is Barack Obama Too Weak to Win in November?":
