Buchanan: MSM Full of 'Out-of-the-Closet Obamacans
Ask an obvious question . . . Amy Robach this morning asked the most rhetorical question in contemporary media: does the MSM have a thing for Barack Obama?The weekend Today co-anchor didn't need guests Pat Buchanan or Rachel Maddow for the answer. She could have kept things in-house with NBC's own Lee Cowan, who has acknowledged “it's almost hard to remain objective” about Obama.But pose the…
Decline HillaryCare? Suffer An 'Outcome
You vill obey update . . . The domestic policy differences between Hillary and Obama are negligible.

In the Dark, She Delivers
The media has been reporting Hillary's latest "talk is cheap" line of attack on Barack. In the same vein, here's the opening paragraph of an email just received from the Clinton campaign:When the bright lights are off and the speeches are over, who can you count on to listen to you, to stand up and deliver solutions? Hillary Clinton: delivering in the dark. Good to know.
Hillary Clinton's Old Church Plans Same-Sex Union Blessings
Given the lack of media concern over the teachings of Barack Obama's church, I don't expect much media interest in this either: A conservative Christian group yesterday criticized a large Methodist church in the District for planning to offer services that recognize gay and lesbian relationships, saying they violate the United Methodist ban on same-sex unions. Foundry United Methodist Church,…
AP Defends Pelosi’s FISA Delay Tactic
Americans will be in far greater danger of a terrorist attack after midnight Saturday due to House Democrats, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal.), deciding to leave town for a break rather than vote on a surveillance bill that cleared the Senate Tuesday. Sadly, the good folks at the Associated Press don't seem concerned, for instead of painting an accurate picture of this truly abysmal delay…
Couric to Michelle O: Should It Be Older Hillary's Turn
It's not about Katie Couric's liberal bias today; it's her sheer fatuousness. Couric has been accorded rare access for extended interviews with the women involved in the presidential race. MRC's Brent Baker has detailed how Couric squandered part of her interview of Hillary Clinton, aired on this past Sunday's 60 Minutes, on silly talk.This morning's Early Show featured excerpts from Couric's…

Hillary, Please Check the Oil While You're At It
It's questionable whether Herbert Hoover actually ever promised to put "a chicken in every pot." But even if Hoover did, he was a piker compared to Hillary Clinton. Check out her remarks in a campaign speech today, as aired on this afternoon's Hardball. HILLARY CLINTON: Over the years, you've heard plenty of promises, from plenty of people in plenty of speeches. And some of those speeches…
Contessa Coaxes Jesse Jackson Into Ripping Rendell
A couple days ago, speculating that Contessa Brewer might be a closet conservative, I expressed the hope that I wasn't making trouble for her at MSNBC. Maybe I did. For the anchor now has gone out of her way to express PC sentiments that almost make you wonder whether she wasn't trying to prove her liberal bona fides to her MSNBC honchos. Jesse Jackson would normally be the last person who'd…
CBS ‘Early Show’ Valentine for Barack Obama
On Thursday’s CBS "Early Show," co-host Harry Smith introduced a fawning segment on Barack Obama: "On the campaign trail, Barack Obama is often treated like a rock star. People wait hours just to hear him speak." The segment did not focus on campaign strategy or policy, but rather it focused entirely on Obama’s rhetoric as correspondent Tracy Smith touted MSNBC’s Chris Matthews being "thrilled"…
Carville Doubts, Hillary Dodges, McAuliffe 'More Confident Than Ever
Three voices of the Clinton campaign, three distinctly different takes on its fortunes. James Carville is candid about the pickle Hillary's in. Hillary, true to form, utterly evades the question. Ah, but there's always Terry McAuliffe. The proud graduate of the Baghdad Bob School of Flackery this morning declared that he's "more confident than he's ever been" about winning the nomination.…
