On May 4, the town of Beverly, Massachusetts threw a huge parade and concert for 19-year-old “American Idol” contestant Angie Miller, who made the top three in the competition.“It’s a great chance to show off our fair city,” Mayor Bill Scanlon said. The city spent $31,200 on security, cleanup and other costs associated with the events, he said. So it must have looked like an odd contrast in…

As NewsBusters reported last week, MSNBC's Chris Matthews had the nerve on Friday's Hardball to call Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tx.) "the unsmiling, contemptuous face of the wild, nasty, hard-right fringe." On May 11, 2013, Cruz gave the commencement address at Hillsdale College. I wonder if you agree with Mr. Matthews (video follows with commentary):

Jason Richwine -- who recently resigned from the Heritage Foundation over objectively observing, in the words of a Fox News report, "that Hispanics had a lower IQ than American whites, and that their descendants would too" -- call wherever your new office is. Or maybe go left and apply for a job at Mother Jones. At that the arch-liberal rag, Erika Eichelberger, in objecting to a congressional…

On Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume hammered at fellow Fox analyst Juan Williams for asserting Attorney General Eric Holder was “the exact right person” to investigate his own Justice Department’s excesses in probing journalists for leaks.

Shear showed an obvious distaste for digging into this, saying "relevance is in the eye of the beholder" and "I'…

File under the Stupid Things Biden Says a letter he recently wrote to a child about chocolate ammunition: “I really like your idea. If we had guns that shot chocolate, not only would our country be safer, it would be happier. People love chocolate.” Over at the website Rare.us, they posted a YouTube video from some Iraq veterans that took Biden’s notion and put it on its ear. You’ll want to…

Just posted to MRC.org this Memorial Day, the latest edition of MRC's Notable Quotables newsletter, recounting the most outrageous quotes from the liberal media. This week: the media warn that "voters will punish" Republicans if they "overplay their hand" and actually investigate the multiple scandals swirling around the Obama administration. At the same time, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell…

CBS's Face the Nation Sunday spent fifteen minutes discussing climate change and amongst other things its impact on tornadoes - in particular the EF-5 that hit Moore, Oklahoma, last week. As not one global warming skeptic was invited to participate in the panel, I've taken the liberty of getting opinions from some of the leaders on the realist side of the debate (video follows with commentary…

When you see Hillary Clinton, do you think of Scarlett Johansson? Or Reese Witherspoon? According to Britain's Independent, the director of the upcoming 2016 biopic "Rodham" does:
