Michael Chapman at our sister site CNSNews.com was featured on the Drudge Report for noticing how the national media weren’t all over the story of Crystal Mangum, the false accuser in the Duke lacrosse case, was convicted of second-degree murder. Chapman found her original charges – anonymously made – were much more attractive to liberal reporters looking for a white-racism narrative than…

Stephen Dinan of The Washington Times wrote a fascinating anniversary piece on how ten years ago, many reporters and activists were obsessed by “Turkeygate.” Anti-Bush reporters wondered “Was that a fake turkey President George W. Bush was photographed with during his first surprise visit with troops in Iraq?” They wanted to blunt any good publicity Bush might get from this visit. The turkey…

On their “It’s All Politics” blog on Wednesday, Frank James of NPR.org found there was numerical proof that conservatives were being targeted by the Obama Treasury Department in their new proposed rules cracking down on the political spending of “social welfare groups.” Other liberal journalists – like Matea Gold in Friday’s Washington Post – aren’t noticing how transparently partisan this “…

Readers here may remember during the presidency of George W. Bush how he reacted to a constituent's written concerns about how "I watched you make fun of moonbats" opposed to the Iraq war who were being "targeted and ridiculed." In a handwritten letter on White House stationery, Bush told the person that “I do have to challenge you, though, on the notion that any citizen that disagrees with me…

A number of liberals and liberal outfits have taken notice of the "knockout game" trend. Their mission is to downplay or debunk it. In a November 22 item published in its November 23 print edition on Page A19, Cara Buckley at the New York Times, below a picture of a Guardian Angels member posting a warning in Brooklyn, cited "police officials in several cities" claiming that it "amounted to…

Real Clear Politics spotted a sentence in President Obama’s remarks at the DreamWorks animation studios in California on Tuesday that would have been a surefire gaffe if it came from a white Republican president -- even someone like George W. Bush, who supported amnesty proposals for illegal aliens. “As I was getting a tour of DreamWorks, I didn't ask, but just looking at faces, I could tell…

Even though the failure of Obamacare's launch is now legendary, media outlets are still eager to find the silver lining outside the dark cloud. On the front of Sunday's Washington Post, reporter Stephanie McCrummen traveled to a poor county in eastern Kentucky to find people saying "Woo-hoo! I can go to the doctor now!?" In Breathitt County, McCrummen (the scourge of the Rick Perry for…

Back in September, The New York Times promoted Bill de Blasio's mayoral candidacy with an editorial titled, "Don't Fear the Squeegee Man." The editorial informed readers that crime wouldn't get worse under de Blasio because "policing is far better than it used to be, thanks to innovations by Mayor David Dinkins." (Emphasis added -- the Times was not being sarcastic.) Under the policing "…

Washington Post reporter Philip Rucker sympathetically noted that a "battered" President Obama "grew introspective" on his West Coast fundraising tour for Democrats. At NBA legend Magic Johnson's house, Obama said he talked with David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker, who's traveling with the president. Obama said Remnick, who was a sports reporter earlier in his career, asked him, “So,…

Ronan Farrow has made it crystal clear that he's going to fit in perfectly as a new MSNBC host. On Thanksgiving Eve, he tweeted to his 150,000 followers, "Thanksgiving: because genocide is a lot more festive 392 years after the fact":

BABY PANDA! Don't be too surprised if you hear a liberal relative shout that out at the Thanksgiving table today if the topic of talk turns to Obamacare. Although Barack Obama himself has been urging members of Organizing For America to bring up Obamacare talking points at the dinner parties today, another liberal school of thought is that the President's signature program has fumbled so…

Of all the things Americans have to be grateful for this Thanksgiving, here's another one: Martin Bashir is not on MSNBC today. That's due to the holiday, of course, rather than any MSNBC executive's sense of honor. Bashir's reprehensible attack on Sarah Palin leads off the current edition of MRC's Notable Quotables, our bi-weekly compilation of the most outrageous quotes in the liberal media…

An NBC producer is sure going to have some splainin’ to do after the production gaffe that occurred during Thursday’s coverage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. With Today cooking expert Sandra Lee on screen waving to the crowd aboard the Tom Turkey float, Matt Lauer said, “With its wings flappin', eyes rollin', and head bobbin', this old bird is grateful to be 'The one that got away'” (…

  Famous Hollywood filmmaker David Mamet on Monday dared to oppose liberal orthodoxy, slamming Barack Obama as a "tyrant." Appearing on the Hugh Hewitt Show, the writer/director (The Untouchables, Wag the Dog, Ronin) decried the President's deal with Iran over nuclear production. Mamet assailed, "He's a tyrant. And I give him great credit. He's always said that his idea was to reform the…
