Melissa McCarthy Mocks NPR Brilliantly on CBS’s 'Mike and Molly'
Mike and Molly went there. The veteran CBS comedy mocked liberals beloved NPR. GASP!
Molly mocks the sleep-inducing monotone voices used by the show hosts on NPR in “Cops on the Rocks.” In her own brilliant comedic way, McCarthy resorts to answering questions in radio interviews as though she is Terry Gross herself.

Out of (Gun) Control
In one of his last gasp efforts to "fundamentally change" America, President Obama is taking executive action -- because he knows he never would get Congress to agree -- to keep guns out of the hands of people he claims should not have them.

Friday NY Times Story on Obama's 'Town Hall' Is Almost All About Obama
The New York Times should earn some kind of dubious award for its story in Friday’s newspaper on Obama’s CNN “town hall” event. While other liberal media outlets stressed the back-and-forth with Obama’s critics, Times reporter Michael Shear’s article resembled a press release stuffed with quotes by Obama and his top aide Valerie Jarrett. Only two paragraphs out of 17 focused on critics – in this…

Twitter's 'Moment' to Puff Obama's Forthcoming State of the Union
With President Obama preparing to deliver his last State of the Union next Tuesday, the folks at Twitter thought they'd celebrate by making a "Moment" of it, collating a number of tweets related to the forthcoming address. But the end result was more or less a gauzy advertisement for the president's speech.

On CNN, Parker Tags NRA 'Terrorist,' Host Tougher on Pro-Gun Guest
On Friday's CNN Newsroom with Carol Costello, host Costello again showed a blatant double standard in giving a softball interview to gun control activist Andy Parker, but then more aggressively debating a pro-gun guest in the next segment. After Parker called the NRA a "terrorist organization," Costello did not challenge the label, and then ended up inviting Parker to suggest questions for her…

Baltimore Sun Editor Wants Searchable Database of Gun Owners
Tricia Bishop, the deputy editorial page editor at Baltimore Sun, also writes a biweekly column. Bishop was impressed three years ago when the White Plains, New York-based Journal News published an interactive online map showing "the addresses (and names) of all pistol permit holders" in two Empire State counties.
Very few others were. Though the outrage over the paper's move was (excuse the…

Breaking Bias: NYT Alert Hails 'Impressive Sprint' In Jobs Numbers
With the Bureau of Labor Statistics releasing December 2015 jobs numbers today, numerous news agencies flashed out the fresh stats to their breaking-news alert subscribers. Looking at them on my iPhone this morning, I noticed that the New York Times was unique in puffing the development with editorial language rather than sticking strictly to the facts.

WashPost's Post-Hebdo Cartoonist Roundup Has a Very Liberal Tilt
On the front of Friday’s Style section of The Washington Post, writer Michael Cavna asked editorial cartoonists to “mull what’s changed” since the terrorist shootings at Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris a year ago. What resulted was more outrage against “Islamophobia” than radical Islam.
Somehow, while Cavna and his interview subjects discussed how ISIS must be separated from the everyday Muslim…
