ABC Promotes Obama's 'Outrage' Over Gun Defeat, Features No Pro-Second

ABC on Wednesday and Thursday parroted Barack Obama's anger over the failure of his gun control bill, touting the President's rage over this "shameful day."

Most Deluded Geraldo Boast Yet - I Helped End The Cold War

Nearly forgotten article from GQ, late '80s, its subject lost to memory but one detail that stuck -- the writer mentioned that he took part in a weekly touch football game in Central Park and Geraldo Rivera was another player. Rivera, he claimed, was the type of competitor who jumped to catch a pass when it wasn't necessary. You know that guy, right? Anthony Weiner, to cite an obvious…

WashPost Hypes ‘Intense Pressure’ From Gun Lobby For Gun Control F

The Washington Post seems to have joined President Obama in blaming the National Rifle Association for the Senate defeating recent gun control legislation.  In an April 18 article, the Post's Ed O'Keefe and Philip Rucker provide cover for President Obama and Senate Democrats, peppering their story with quotes condemning Republicans and Second Amendment advocates.  The article started off…

Senator: Climate Change Must Be ‘Right Behind Immigration and Gay Ri

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said at the Good Jobs, Green Jobs conference in Washington, D.C., Tuesday, “It's our task to make sure that climate change lines up right behind immigration and gay rights as an issue where the Republicans see that if they stick with this, they’re going to run off the cliff like lemmings."

Scarborough Accuses Former Republican Congressman Chris Cox Of 'Lying

Oh irony, oh hypocrisy!  Joe Scarborough opened today's Morning Joe by singing the praises of NBC's Pete Williams for not jumping onto the story that other news outlets were reporting yesterday that an arrest had been made in the Boston Marathon bombing.  Scarborough condemned journalists "far more interested in getting it first than getting it right." But mere minutes later, Scarborough…

Boston Bombing: NYT Reports, National Journal Speculates On 'Right-Win

Do I dare say it? Did The New York Times actually write a responsible article concerning the investigation of the Boston Terror Attack? The April 17 piece by Katharine Q. Seeyle, Scott Shane, and Michael S. Schmidt had no mentions of right-wing extremists –and the meretricious links to Patriots/Tax Day.  Additionally, the word “extremist” is only associated with a brief bit about “terrorist…

After Gun-Control Defeat, NPR Anchor Inskeep Links to Crazy Rant Again

NPR Morning Edition anchorman Steve Inskeep appears to be an angry man on Twitter this morning after the Senate rejected every gun-control proposal yesterday. He linked to a wild and woolly rant written by leftist journalist Garry Wills on December 15, 2012, the day after the Newtown massacre for the New York Review of Books. Inskeep tweeted: "Gary [sic] Wills: Newtown not the fault of 'one…

'Progressive' Auto Insurance Ad Rips 'Rate Suckers'—So How About Hea

In the health-care insurance debate, one of the mantras of the left is to condemn those evil, greedy insurance companies that would charge higher rates to people with "pre-existing conditions." But in a commercial aired on last night's Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, there was "Progressive Insurance," whose chairman Peter Lewis is a huge donor to liberal causes including Moveon.org, condemning…

CNN Claims Pressure Cooker Bombs Somehow ‘Signature’ of Extreme Ri

Whenever a disaster like the bombing at Monday's Boston Marathon occurs, members of the press try to be the first to report any “scoops” they can find regarding the catastrophe. However, news organizations are often so anxious to beat the 24/7 news cycle that they don't always check all the facts before posting a story. One recent example of this problem is an article on the CNN website…

Fort What? NPR's Diane Rehm Demonstrates More Fort Hood Amnesia

Fort Hood amnesia seems to be a recurring malady this week. First came the Washington Post. Then on NPR’s Diane Rehm Show on Wednesday, Rehm falsely described the Boston bombing (with three fatalities) as worse than Fort Hood (13 fatalities). “This has been described as the second most lethal event since 9/11. But we are told that there've been a great many incidents prevented. What do you know…

Sharpton Shamelessly Exploits Boston Bombings To Push Gun-Grab Agenda

While an angry Barack Obama rails against those who failed to advance his anti-Second Amendment agenda, the Reverend Al Sharpton continues to show his unending loyalty to the regime. Making a false connection between the gun debate (which he feels should be suppressed entirely) and this week's Boston bombings, Sharpton shamelessly exploited the victims for Obama's benefit. Did anyone notice…

Liberal WashPost Columnist Courtland Milloy Slams 'False Hope and Foll

In January, I noted how liberal Washington Post columnist Courtland Milloy shared with his readers the story of courageous African-American civil rights activists in the South who fended off threats of terroristic violence by the KKK by being well armed to fight back. Well this morning, Milloy published another pro-gun rights column, this one full of fiery indignation at liberal nonsense on gun…
