CBS Downplays Obama Super PAC Cancer Death Ad As Part of 'Nasty' Blitz

Three days after CNN slammed the dishonest ad from the pro-Obama Priorities USA super PAC that blames Mitt Romney for a woman's cancer death, Friday's CBS This Morning finally got around to covering it. But correspondent Nancy Cordes downplayed the liberal group's spot by also targeting a Romney ad that was "panned" by unnamed fact checkers, and claimed that "other Romney ads have taken Mr.…

Haughty ABC Pretends It's Been Covering Romney-Killed-My-Wife' Ad All

ABC on Thursday night finally broke the network's silence about a dishonest Obama super PAC ad that, essentially, accuses Mitt Romney of killing a woman. On Friday, Good Morning America's hosts and reporters vaguely, but haughtily, chided "both sides" for negative ads, as if they had been covering Obama's commercial all week. [See video below. MP3 audio here.]             At the very end of a…

On Thursday Jackie Calmes (pictured) and Trip Gabriel, two of the New York Times's more slanted campaign reporters, teamed up to cover Obama's campaign trip to Colorado and Romney's trip to Iowa: "Obama Assails Romney on Women’s Health Care."

NBC Still Ignores Romney-Killed-My-Wife Ad, But Finds Time for Obama's

Still working hard to avoid mentioning an outrageous Obama super-PAC ad that basically accused Mitt Romney of being responsible for the cancer death of a woman, Thursday's NBC Nightly News had the gall to instead promote pro-Obama fluff, as anchor Brian Williams gushed: "Knowing a hot product when he sees one, the President today visited the U.S. Olympic training facility in Colorado."…

AP Report on West Coast Gas Prices Moving to $4 a Gallon Ignores How T

Last time I checked the Associated Press was a national news service. So in a story about how a refinery fire in California will likely cause West Coast gas prices to hit $4 a gallon, why did reporter Jason Dearen ignore the fact that prices are already at $4 a gallon in many parts of the country already?

Defending Romney Against Reid Smear, Conservatives Unwittingly Fall fo

Fifty years from now, everyone will agree that Karl Rove committed treason by revealing the identity of CIA "spy" Valerie Plame, tea partiers shouted the N-word at a black congressman and Duke lacrosse players gang-raped a stripper. Liberals tell whopping lies, and most conservatives can't be bothered to learn history. In the last few days, we've heard both George Will and Charles Krauthammer…

MSNBC's Thomas Roberts Embraces 'Freedom From Religion,' Pegs Chick-fi

The New York Observer is celebrating openly gay MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts as he plans for his wedding by dieting with Red Bull energy drinks and chewing gum. The laugh line in this supportive profile is Roberts claiming "he wasn't especially inclined to cover gay stories because of his demographic profile." He generally has what we call a "Gay of the Day" segment every morning in the 11 am…

Morning Newscasts Still Skipping Obama Supporters' Cancer Death Ad

On Thursday morning, the Big Three continued their complete blackout on the controversy surrounding a pro-Obama super PAC's new ad that points the finger at Mitt Romney for a woman's cancer death. ABC's Good Morning America and NBC's Today minimized their political coverage.
