Networks Ignore Libya Whistleblower Who Asserts: We Know Who Perpetrat

All three network newscasts on Monday and Tuesday ignored the shocking assertions made by a whistleblower who told Fox News that special forces could have responded to the 2012 terrorist attack on Benghazi. He also claimed that the United States knows who perpetrated last year's assault on the U.S. embassy. Fox News's Adam Housley interviewed a man he described as a "special ops member who…

Anderson Cooper on Gay NBA Player: 'The Tide of History Is Moving Forw

Hosting liberal filmmaker Spike Lee on his Tuesday show, CNN's Anderson Cooper supported Lee's prediction that more professional athletes will come out as gay like NBA player Jason Collins.

On CNBC's Kudlow, Bozell Slams Media Double Standard on Ideological Bi

"If you're going to say that a known conservative entity like the Koch brothers should not be getting into the business of dictating what a news operation should do, what does that tell you about Warren Buffett," or the Sulzburger or Graham families behind the New York Times and Washington Post respectively, Brent Bozell argued on the April 30 edition of CNBC's Kudlow Report. Bozell also noted…

NYT's Gabriel Claims Gosnell Trial 'Been Widely Covered' Ever Since Pr

The New York Times's Trip Gabriel reported Tuesday that each side has rested its case in the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell, on trial for four charges of infanticide at his Philadelphia clinic. The first paragraph is revealing: “They are known as Baby Boy A, Baby C, Baby D and Baby E, all of whom prosecutors call murdered children and the defense calls aborted fetuses -- the very…

CMI On TV – ‘Two And a Half Men’: Still Filth

When Angus T. Jones – a former star of CBS’s smut-com “Two and a Half Men” – told people to “please stop watching it, please stop filling your head with filth,” he wasn’t kidding. His departure may have led CBS to double down on the dirtiness.

WaPo Sports Columnist Rails at ‘Heterosexual Religious Zealots

Woe unto you who haven’t joined the rhapsodic hymns to Jason Collins’ heroism and genuflected before the altar of diversity. You have incurred the wrath of Mike Wise. The Washington Post sports columnist, who is rumored to sometimes write about sports, doesn’t like Christians or conservatives (“Bible-thumpers” to him and Charles Barkley), and he’s not shy about it. His May 1 column was a tour…

WashPo, Politico Highlight ‘Easy Target’ Kelly Ayotte Over Gun Con

The latest target for gun-control activists appears to be freshman Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.). In strikingly similar articles appearing on May 1, the Washington Post hyped the “contentious political fight” over gun control, and Politico describing the “lingering controversy that continues to hover over the New Hampshire senator.” The two articles try to portray Ayotte as at odds with the…

Chris Matthews: Gun Control Advocates Also For World Peace, Jobs, Envi

The craziness keeps gushing from Chris Matthews’ mouth like a waterfall. On Tuesday morning, Matthews was anchoring MSNBC’s coverage of President Obama’s third news conference of the year. (Why they didn’t get a real journalist to anchor the coverage, I don’t know.) While waiting for the news conference to begin, Matthews and an array of panelists were discussing the gun control battle that…

This May Day: Media Fail to Acknowledge Any Downside of Socialism

Philosopher George Santayana once said “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” In regards to socialism, the media has turned a blind eye to the more than 100 million victims of the ideology. In fact, May 1 actually marks a socialist holiday – International Workers’ Day, or May Day. “Socialist” is a word often used in conjunction with President Obama, but seldom…

Democrats Run Ad Slamming Mark Sanford for Adultery: Media Mum on Clin

A Democrat Super PAC is displaying epic hypocrisy by running a new ad in South Carolina's special election for Congress that slams Mark Sanford for adultery in office. This -- from the party that lined up almost unanimously behind Bill Clinton's adultery in office with an intern? This -- from the party that never wanted to know what John Edwards was doing visiting his mistress in a hotel,…
