Huffington Post Attacks 'Dividers' at NewsBusters
Today I am thinking about all the reasons William K. Black detests me. Last Tuesday, I reported how MSNBC promoted the findings of June Carbone and Naomi Cahn, co-authors of Red Families v.

CNN's Don Lemon Plays Softball With Discharged Homosexual Soldier
On Sunday's Newsroom, CNN's Don Lemon tossed softball questions at homosexual activist Dan Choi, who was discharged earlier in July from the U.S. Army under the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

Mississippi Public Radio Drops 'Fresh Air,' Lefty Blogs Hysterical
Liberals always have a tendancy to assume that anything that happens in the South is either due to discrimination or out of the movie Deliverance.

Newsweek Fawns Over Lady Gaga's Music Videos
Newsweek’s Ramin Setoodeh apparently really likes controversial pop star Lady Gaga, enough to praise her for revolutionizing music vidoes while ignoring her controversial "artistic" decisions.
