NBC and ABC Ignore Obama Admin. Broke Law With Bergdahl Exchange; CBS

After Thursday's network evening newscasts ignored a report from the Government Accountability Office that the exchange of five terrorists from Guantanamo Bay for Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was illegal, NBC's Today and ABC's Good Morning America remained silent on the Obama administration scandal on Friday.

Politico Reports MSNBC Host Al Sharpton Was Obama’s Eyes and Ears In

In yet more proof that MSNBC has absolutely no sense of journalistic detachment from the Obama White House or political activism in the streets, Politico’s Glenn Thrush is reporting that Team Obama was plumbing Sharpton for information he gleaned on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri. "Sharpton—so often criticized for being a self-promoter—finds himself in the unusual position of being too…

State-Run Radio: NPR Watches Eric Holder 'Wrap His Arms Around a Commu

NPR again defined the abuse of its taxpayer subsidy to promote the Obama administration on Thursday’s Morning Edition. Online, they began their report on Attorney General Eric Holder this way: “The nation's top law enforcement officer traveled to Ferguson, Mo., on Wednesday to wrap his arms around a community in pain.” On air, reporter Carrie Johnson began: “From the moment he walked into a…

WashPost Covers All the Protest Factions, Including Looter: 'I'm Proud

Black leftists don’t like President Obama condemning violent protesters and looters in Ferguson alongside the police. On MSNBC Wednesday afternoon, professor Michael Eric Dyson called this balanced approach a “low moment” in the Obama presidency. “He's got the bully pulpit. Be a bully in the pulpit but don't bully black people. Yesterday was a low moment in the Obama presidency because he…

Fed Govt. Watchdog GAO Says Bergdahl Swap Broke Federal Law; Networks

Here's more evidence that the Big Three broadcast newscasts are failing to act as Obama administration watchdogs. Today the federal Government Accountability Office, a nonpartisan arm of the legislative branch, released a report finding that the Obama/Hagel Department of Defense broke federal law with the manner in which it negotiated the Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap earlier this year. Such…

WashPost Gushes Over Attorney General 'Recalling Racism' In Ferguson

President Obama insisted he wasn’t going to the Mexican border to learn more about massive illegal immigration because that would be a “photo op.” So what was Attorney General Eric Holder’s trip to Ferguson, Missouri if not first a photo opportunity? But The Washington Post, like The New York Times, thinks Holder is too loaded with “empathy” for blacks to ask. On the front page of Thursday’s…

AP Reporter Slams State Dept. Claim That Journalist Beheading Was 'Not

During a press briefing on Wednesday, deputy State Department spokesperson Marie Harf condemned the beheading of American journalist James Foley by Islamic terrorists while adding that the threat posed by the terror group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) “is not about the United States and what we do.” That comment led Associated Press reporter Matt Lee to ask if President…

Al Sharpton: No ‘Circumstances’ Would Require Officer Wilson To F

Channeling Jesse Jackson’s comments earlier this week on Newsmax TV, MSNBC’s Al Sharpton argued that no circumstance justified Michael Brown being shot multiple times, using the logic that he was unarmed. This despite reports that Brown had charged and beat Officer Darren Wilson prior to the fatal shooting. During a predictably soft interview with host Alex Wagner on the August 20 edition of…

Shorter MSNBC: Nonpartisan Elections in Ferguson Are 'Shenanigans' Whi

One week after MSNBC.com staff writer Zachary Roth hinted  that Ferguson, Missouri's April municipal elections are racially discriminatory, MSNBC host Joy Reid took that argument out for a spin on the Thursday, August 21 edition of her eponymous Reid Report program with guests MSNBC contributor Goldie Taylor and Missouri State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal (D). Oddly enough, Ms. Reid laid some…
