Chris Matthews: Romney Is 'Weird' Because He Joked About Someone Grabb

The gang on this weekend's syndicated Chris Matthews Show actually spent a considerable amount of time advancing the media contention that presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is "weird."

More Proof That NY Times Reporters Are Activists in Disguise

Journalists have been reeling from the realities of new media. No longer can they pretend their actual reporting lacks bias. Spun news stories, bogus video editing, lies and false statistics all make up the daily news diet. But author Christopher C. Horner is proving that journalists out themselves long before a story even gets written. Horner, whose upcoming book “The Liberal War on…

Harvard Crimson Issues Correction for Using Pronoun, Says Only Proper

Pity the poor Harvard Crimson. When reporting from that bastion of political correctness, Harvard, it is quite easy to inadvertently wander onto the dangerous shoals of thought crimes. Such was the case when the Crimson used a (GASP!) gendered pronoun to describe a new member of the Harvard faculty and was subsequently forced to issue a correction for their heinous misdeed: CORRECTION: July…

CBS's Charlie Rose Toasts Filthy 'Family Guy' Maker's 'Funny and Smart

One of the reasons that dirty-cartoon purveyor Seth MacFarlane is very, very rich is that journalists utterly fail to question the tastelessness of his TV shows or movies when he appears for interviews. Just take CBS This Morning on Monday, where host Charlie Rose treated MacFarlane like an artiste as they discussed his new pervert-teddy-bear movie Ted. As MacFarlane said the challenge was "…

AP Story on California High-Speed Rail Legislation's Passage Dodges St

It seems that Matt Drudge is a better headline writer than whoever at the Associated Press performed the same task at its story about California lawmakers' passage of "building the nation's first dedicated high-speed rail line, a multibillion dollar project that will eventually link Los Angeles and San Francisco" -- if sanity doesn't prevail in the meantime. Since late yesterday, Drudge's…

ABC Anchor: 'The Best News' - Gas Prices 'Might Drop Another 50 Cents

Mark Shields: Republicans Haven't Raised Taxes in 21 Years 'And That I

Liberal media's love for higher taxes is a thing of legends. On Inside Washington Friday, PBS's perpetually pandering pundit Mark Shields told viewers that since 1991, "21 years, Republicans have not voted for a single broad-based tax increase, and that’s become the theology of the party, the ideology of the party, the definition of the party, and that is irresponsible" (video follows with…

Bozell Column: That Terrible 'Ted' Movie

Seth MacFarlane, whose $100 million contract with Fox makes him the highest paid TV writer in history, is now trying to take over the cineplex, with the same old shtick. You could pluck his oeuvre out of the summer movie-preview articles without any difficulty. His was the one where "the teddy bear comes to life and becomes a profane slacker who practically lives inside a bong and hires hookers…
