CBS Hounds Rubio: Gun Control 'Would Have Made A Difference' in Past

On Friday, the CBS This Morning anchors badgered Marco Rubio on his opposition to gun control. Gayle King touted Obama's words on the issue: "The President said...that it's far too easy for people to get weapons, and that we need to figure out a way to make it harder for them. In this particular case...it wouldn't have made a difference. But there are so many other cases it seems...that it would…

NYT's Healy: 'Voters' See GOP as 'Stoking...Violence Against Mosques'

Patrick Healy reported in Thursday's New York Times that "Skittish Over Terrorism, Some Voters Seek a Gutsy Style of Leader." "Skittish" [excitable, easily scared] is a pretty condescending way to characterize the American public's legitimate fears of terrorism. But far worse is Healy's inference that Republican rhetoric on Syrian refugees had stoked threats against mosques. He also linked the…

MSNBC’s Most Pressing Concern? ‘Fear’ and ‘Anti-Muslim Rhetoric’

With the unfolding news that Wednesday’s mass shooting in California was, in fact, terrorism, the main concern on MSNBC appears to be an anti-Muslim backlash by Americans and politicians. On Friday, Andrea Mitchell lectured, “In the midst of a political campaign where anti-Muslim rhetoric has reached a pitch that I have never heard in this country, not even after 9/11, this is a very concerning…

CNN Victim-Blames Christian Killed by Muslim Shooter

If you thought the liberal onslaught of blame on conservatives and Fox News before the San Bernardino shooters were identified couldn’t get worse, think again. On Thursday night, CNN’s Gary Tuchman badgered one victim’s wife to insinuate that the man was “asking for it” because he bothered to talk about religion at work.   On the Dec. 3 Anderson Cooper 360, Tuchman interviewed Jennifer…

WashPost Plays Dumb on Page 1: 'Motive Elusive' in California Rampage

After all of the breaking news about terrorist motives yesterday, Friday morning’s Washington Post was silly with the top headline “Motive elusive in deadly Calif. rampage.” The story even had a subhead admitting “Arsenal found in home of the two shooters.” It began with how authorities were “still trying” to locate a motive “even as they revealed the two attackers had amassed a large stockpile…

CENSORED: Nets Ignore Senate Vote to Defund Planned Parenthood

The liberal media often say more by what they don’t report than by what they do report – especially when it comes to topics that challenge a certain agenda. During the Friday morning news shows, all three broadcast networks censored Thursday’s vote to strip federal funding of Planned Parenthood. While ABC, NBC and CBS turned a blind-eye, other traditional media outlets and the pro-life movement…

Prof Claiming No Bernardino Terror Link Gets Debunked in Seconds

It was a priceless TV moment. Here was law professor Sahar Aziz on Jose Diaz-Balart's MSNBC show complaining about anti-Muslim bias in the US and insisting we don't know the motive behind the San Bernardino massacre. Aziz called the San Bernardino attack a "workplace violent act," pointing to the lack of any claim of responsibility or link to a terrorist group. But literally seconds after Aziz…

CNN Insanity: Did 'Postpartum Psychosis' Lead to Slaughter?

Struggling to offer an alternative explanation for the obvious conclusion of terrorism, CNN’s Erin Burnett on Thursday wondered if one of the killers from Wednesday’s rampage snapped as a result of “postpartum psychosis.” This was after two former FBI agents explained to Burnett just how Tashfeen Malik was radicalized.

Powerless: Environmentalists Look to Algae, Reject Fracking, Nuclear

Biofuels should serve as an instructive lesson for negotiators in Paris, because they are proof that not all energy sources work as well as anticipated. But journalists are unlikely to remind them or the public. The early 2000s were the heyday of good press for biofuels. Major newspapers like The New York Times ran stories about Willie Nelson’s biodiesel startup and individuals converting their…

Fallon: Star Wars Heroine Hired by Jeb Since She Salvages 'Wreckage'

Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon chose to weave the 2016 election and the promotion of upcoming guest Daisy Ridley from Star Wars: The Force Awakens into his opening monologue late Thursday by joking that Ridley’s character had been hired by the Jeb Bush campaign in “an interesting coincidence” since “she plays a character who tries to salvage massive wreckages.”
