PBS Staff RINO David Brooks Rants 2012 GOP Debates Were 'Looney Tunes

New York Times columnist David Brooks always knows he's sitting on a liberal Democrat set at the PBS NewsHour. PBS viewers don't want a real conservative that makes conservative arguments. Only insults are welcome. So in praising Chris Christie on Friday's show, he said the 2012 GOP presidential debates were "Looney Tunes." He was dead serious. But when the subject turned to liberal Democrats…

National Press Ignores Wendy Davis's Claim to Be 'Pro-Life,' 'Amateuri

Recently declared Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis had a really, really bad opening round of campaign appearances. Naturally, the national press, which swooned over the Fort Worth Democrat's ultimately failed filibuster against a common-sense pro-life law in the Lone Star State's legislature, pretended not to notice. They had local help. On Wednesday, At The Monitor in McAllen, Texas…

Yahoo Finance Writer Needles Boehner, Ryan: ‘Obamacare Still Isn’t

Yahoo Finance columnist Rick Newman wrote a column arguing “Obamacare Still Isn’t Killing Jobs,” playing off the Friday employment numbers and picking on Speaker John Boehner and Paul Ryan. “Since the Affordable Care Act became law in 2010, Republicans have claimed repeatedly that it would be a job-killing monstrosity, with ample evidence of its withering effect on the economy by now. “The…

Bozell Column: Who's Dour About Virginia

Bob Bartley, where are you? When Robert Bartley was in charge, the Wall Street Journal editorial page was the gold standard of conservative thought. It can still be good, sometimes quite good -- but it is no longer true north for the movement. Too many times it has delivered product that makes conservatives shake their heads in confusion, even disbelief.

Daily Kos Blogger: The New C-Words Are 'Conservative' and 'Crazy

For several decades, many on the left have tried to dodge the designation "liberal." They've called themselves "progressives" (sometimes "pragmatic progressives") or claimed to be non-ideological rather than accept the L-word, especially if they were running for office.   This past Wednesday, however, the Daily Kos blogger who calls himself "Crashing Vor" argued that the terminological tide…

Tom Cruise Compares Acting Demands to Fighting in Afghanistan

The just-released quotes from Tom Cruise regarding his domestic life could be far more damaging to his A-list status than that couch-jumping stunt. The actor is suing a magazine for $50 million regarding alleged misinformation regarding his relationship with his 7-year-old daughter, Suri. Information from his deposition in the case won't go over well with potential movie goers.

NPR Ombudsman: Applaud Mara Liasson's Work, Do Not Tar Her By Associat

NPR ombudsman Edward Schumacher-Matos is accusing liberal NPR fans of guilt by association. Some want NPR reporter Mara Liasson fired, just as they succeeded in ranting against Juan Williams appearing on Fox until he was abruptly fired.  The ombudsman reviewed  her reporting, and says “Applaud her.” "Would you please consider letting Mara Liasson go?" wrote listener Michael Duba in what…

So Now Chris Matthews Wants to Play Hardball on Benghazi

Originally posted at PolitiChicks.tv on Tuesday, November 6  ||   It seems that MSNBC’s Chris Matthews wants to get to the bottom of what really happened in Benghazi.  Really Chris? Because last October, you had the chance to ask what happened, but since it was only a month before the election, you didn’t bother. Instead, you helped push the narrative that the attack was over some movie that…

WashPost Cartoonist Toles Compares ObamaCare Critics to Segregationist

We here at NewsBusters usually pay no mind to Tom Toles, the editorial cartoonist for the Washington Post. He's paid to render his opinion through his work -- although the quality of both his cartooning the cleverness of his observations are, to be charitable, debatable -- so it takes something really egregious to get on our radar. That happened today when Mr. Toles compared Republican…
