Conservative-Smearing Wilmore to Host White House Dinner

A conservative-hating, liberal comic has been chosen for the 2016 White House Correspondents Dinner. This time, it’s Nightly Show anchor Larry Wilmore. Scheduled for April 30, the dinner will likely contain many of the slimy attacks the comedian is known for. On November 30, Wilmore blamed the Planned Parenthood shooting on Fox News.

Federalist's Hemingway Looks At Media Silence on Obama's Failures

It sure "[m]ust be nice to be a Democratic president" given the media's air cover for your foreign policy/war-on-terrorism failures, The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway sighed at the end of her December 15 piece detailing all the ways in which the media are "Being Pretty Quiet About Obama’s Failures."

Tom Brady Ends Presser When Questioned About Trump (VIDEO)

Apparently Bill Belichick is not the only member of the Patriots organization who has developed an intense dislike for the media. Which sometimes makes him given to spontaneously and abruptly ending press conferences.

Five Celebs Protest Climate Change, Demand Action During Paris COP21

In spite of the fact that Hollywood celebrities live in fancy houses, often use private planes and galavant around the world spewing far more carbon than the Average Joe, many of them love to warn about the threat of climate change. So it was no surprise to see many film and music stars speaking out during the recent U.N. climate summit in Paris (COP21), which was held Nov. 30, through Dec. 12…

CNN's Cuomo Stumbles, Denies 'All Jihadis are Muslim'

CNN's Chris Cuomo made a gaffe regarding the religious faith of ISIS and other similar groups on Wednesday's New Day. When Senator Lindsey Graham accused Donald Trump of "playing into ISIL's hands," Cuomo replied, "Sixty percent of your party agrees with him. They think all jihadis are Muslim." Since jihad is a concept from the Islamic faith, a jihadi, by definition, would indeed be a Muslim…

Whoops: DC Edition of the NY Times Has NO GOP Debate Story Today

The “All The News That’s Fit to Print” people at The New York Times clearly had a journalistic malfunction overnight. A look at the paper’s Washington edition shows no story on the Republican debate on the front page. Well, surely it’s mentioned at bottom in the text box about what’s inside? No. Well, it’s listed on “Inside the Times” on A-2? No. You have to find it on A-21, three pages into the…

NBC, CBS Tout Divided GOP Convention; Pushed Dem ‘Dream-Ticket' in '08

Interviewing Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus on Wednesday, the hosts of both NBC’s Today and CBS This Morning pushed the idea that the 2016 Republican field was so divided that there would have to be a brokered convention to pick the party’s nominee. In 2008, instead of discussing a possible brokered convention, all three morning shows excitedly promoted the idea of unifying…

WashPost Reporter: GOP Debate Is ‘Old White Men Yelling At Each Other'

So much for neutral journalism. Ishaan Tharoor, Foreign affairs reporter for The Washington Post, went on a tirade on Twitter Tuesday evening, bashing the GOP debate in multiple tweets, but perhaps his worst statement was calling the undercard debate “a bunch of old white men yelling at each other.” Not exactly original coming from a liberal -- but neither is it something a reporter from one of…

Morning Joe Loves Graham for Ripping Republicans on Muslim Rhetoric

When tagging items at NewsBusters, one of our Media Bias sub-categories is "Sudden Respect." The notion is that to win the affection of the MSM, all a Republican or conservative needs to do is turn against members or positions of his party. A great illustration of the phenomenon comes from today's Morning Joe. During last night's undercard debate, Lindsey Graham repeatedly ripped fellow…
