Columnist, NARAL Tweet ‘Flag of Reproductive Freedom’
Just when you thought feminists couldn't get any more insular, myopic and just plain silly; pills and gripes are the new stars and stripes.
On the eve of Veterans’ Day, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and senator’s wife Connie Schultz tweeted a “Flag of Reproductive Freedom” to her 11,000 followers. In place of the stars signifying the 50 states, the flag boasted 28 buttons representing a…
HBO's 'Newsroom' Excuses CNN's Botched Boston Bombing Report
The low-rated HBO series Newsroom returned on Sunday for a shortened six episode run before limping to a series finale in December. The new season kicked off by examining the Boston bombing and forgiving CNN for botching a call.
Jon Stewart Whacks Bush As Inferior to Jimmy Carter, No Facts Allowed
Comedian Jon Stewart was recently interviewed by his long-time pal (and former employee) Mo Rocca on CBS’s “Sunday Morning” to talk about his new film “Rosewater”, which Stewart directed and wrote.
“Rosewater” is one Newsweek journalist’s perspective of being abducted in Iran. When Rocca informed Stewart that his old “nemesis” George W. Bush would later be interviewed on the same episode of “…
Politico: ‘The Democrats’ Favorite Denier’ Senator Jim Inhofe
With the GOP set to officially take control of the United States Senate in January, Politico decided it was the perfect time to play up Democrats’ criticism of Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), incoming Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, for being “the Hill’s most flamboyant critic of climate research.” In a piece published on November 10, authors Elana Schor and…
Chuck Todd on Obama: 'A President Whose Potential Wasn't Realized'
On Tuesday's NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer and Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd began writing Barack Obama's political obituary, but did so in the most sympathetic way possible. Lauer cited a line from Todd's new book on the President: "And you write that in the foreseeable future, quote, 'He [Obama] will be a president whose potential wasn't realized.' He came to Washington promising to…
Hollywood Actress Dumbfounded When Asked About Liberal Talking Point
In the liberal bastion that is Hollywood, you would think that vapid celebrities could rattle off empty left-wing political jargon with ease. Not in all cases. Liberal talk show host Bill Maher asked a Hollywood actress a question about one of the left’s pet talking points, and was met with utter confusion.
Nets Cheered ObamaCare 'Sign-Up Surge,' But Bury New, Low Numbers
In March, all three networks heralded a "sign-up surge" in ObamaCare numbers ahead of a deadline. Yet, when the administration announced on Monday that the number of people who enroll in the program will be "significantly lower by the end of next year," ABC, CBS and NBC ignored the downbeat forecast.
Angus King: Gruber Who?—Fox & Friends 'Cruel' to Question ObamaCare
Such an "independent," that Angus King. Nany Pelosi herself couldn't have pulled off a more partisan hack job of defending ObamaCare and attacking those who dare question it. Things got ugly on today's Fox & Friends. The show ran the clip [that NB's P.J. Gladnick uncovered and that few in the MSM have aired] of ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber admitting that the bill's drafters had…
Veterans Recall: Chaplain Sacrificed Life for Fellow Marines
There are many ways to mark Veterans’ Day. Parades, flags, stories and simple thank-you’s for most of us; a sleazy leftist whine demanding we stop calling soldiers “heroes” for Salon. For some Marines who served in Vietnam, they choose to honor the “Grunt Padre,” and their reverence isn’t confined to Veterans’ Day.
Grunt Padre was the nickname U.S. Navy Chaplain Father Vincent Capodanno earned…
CBS Gives Bill Nye Platform to Attack Those Who ‘Deny’ Climate Change'
On Tuesday morning, Bill Nye “The Science Guy” appeared on CBS This Morning to promote his new book, and used his platform as an opportunity to trash individuals who question the existence of manmade climate change.

Massachusetts Town Wants to Ban Tobacco; But What About Pot?
A Sunday Associated Press item carried at its national news site informs readers that the town of Westminster in north central Massachusetts is seriously considering a ban on tobacco products. The Boston Globe covered the story in a lengthy report on October 28, and the Washington Post carried a brief item at its GovBeat blog that same day.
None of those three items addressed an obvious question…
Google's Demographically-Distorted Veterans Day Homepage
Hey, at least Google didn't "honor" Veterans Day with a homepage featuring Jane Fonda on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun. So yes, let's take some satisfaction from the fact that Google did depict actual members of the US military on its homepage this morning. That said, Google couldn't resist inflicting its PC-politics onto the homepage, with wildly unrepresentative demographics....
