Media Mum? Keith Ellison in 2012: Nazis 'Attacked Pearl Harbor'
The leftist press give gaffes made by Republicans years and even decades of shelf life. They roasted Bush 41 Vice President Dan Quayle for years for adding a "e" at the end of "potato" with the "help" of a flashcard which had the word spelled incorrectly — not only in the press, but also on the late-night talks shows.
Gaffes by Democrats, liberals and even far-lefties tend to get a complete pass…
David Brooks: Trump Team Are 'Headbanger Guns N' Roses Conservatives'
On their Friday Week in Politics segment on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered newscast, they discussed just how “ultraconservative” the early Trump cabinet picks are. No one eight years ago discussed how “ultraliberal” Barack Obama’s administration would get. But New York Times columnist David Brooks at least made this discussion of extremism amusing by suggesting Trumpians were “…
Geraldo: Castro Not 'All Awful,' 'Will Be Remembered Fondly'
In a Saturday morning appearance on Fox & Friends, Geraldo Rivera, who interviewed Fidel Castro in 1977 when he worked at ABC News, mostly defended the Cuban dictator whose death was announced Friday night.
Rivera, while admitting earlier in the five-minute segment that "Communism stinks, we all know that," and that "Communism cannot compete with capitalism," nevertheless insisted in the…
Time Magazine and the Media’s Normalization of Racism
The dateline: October 24, 2015. The cover of Time magazine? Art work of Donald Trump’s hair and face- melting. The headline: “Total Meltdown.” In fact, the cover was the second Time cover depicting a melting Donald, the first running in August of 2016 and titled simply: “Meltdown”
Laughable: Liberal Director Wants Holiday 2017 Film Trashing Cheney
Next Christmas we’ll have Hollywood’s latest attack on a prominent conservative gift wrapped under our tree. Notoriously liberal Adam McKay is writing and directing a new film focused on Vice President Dick Cheney. The film is slated to go into production early next year for a late 2017 release.
Flashback: The Media’s Decades of Cheering Castro’s Communism
Fidel Castro’s communist regime executed hundreds of political opponents and drove tens of thousands more into exile; hundreds of dissidents today languish in Cuban prisons. Yet liberals in the U.S. media — who rightly condemned such abuses when perpetrated by dictators such as Chile’s Augusto Pinochet — inexplicably remain enchanted with Castro and his socialist revolution. For almost 30 years,…
Bozell & Graham Column: The Hilarious 'Hamilton' Hubbub
Vice President-Elect Mike Pence was in New York with his family during the transition, and so he took his family to Broadway to see Hamilton, the hot hip-hop Founding Father musical that people are overpaying to see. What resulted wasn’t exactly surprising. Rude, obnoxious -- but not surprising.
But at the curtain call, Pence was singled out for an impolite leftist lecture from the stage about…
Reporters Hail Castro: ‘George Washington,’ ‘Folk Hero to Most of Us’
Fidel Castro was a tyrant who oppressed Cubans and brought misery to many for several decades and while much of the breaking news coverage emphasized that reality, some journalists couldn’t resist crediting him for supposed great advancements in education, literacy and health care. ABC’s Jim Avila went so far as to tout how Castro “was considered, even to this day, the George Washington of his…
SNL Fake Anchor Taken to Twitter Woodshed for Tinder-Transgender Joke
Last weekend, MRC’s Brent Baker noted one joke made against liberalism on Saturday Night Live. Weekend Update co-host Colin Joke’s fake news included this: “The dating app Tinder announced a new feature this week, which gives users 37 different gender identity options. It’s called, ‘Why Democrats lost the election.’”
Naturally, the libertine Left had a fit about this joke
Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner, Paul Ryan…Barack Obama?
It’s fair to say that from 2007 through 2010, the mere words “Speaker Pelosi” gave many NewsBusters readers the willies. If some lefty activists and enough voters get their way, you’ll have the chance to hear a lot of “Speaker Obama.” On Wednesday, Ben Mathis-Lilley of Slate discussed and endorsed a Change.org petition calling on Barack Obama to run for the House of Representatives in 2018 from…
Glamour Magazine, Celebs Mourn Hillary Clinton's Loss to Trump
Glamour magazine recently celebrated its 26th annual Women of the Year Award that honored not only musicians and models and activists, but most of all they wanted to honor who they considered the most deserving Woman of the Year – their modern day feminist, pantsuit-wearing, twice-failed Democratic presidential candidate and icon, Hillary Clinton.
Slate Writer: Trump ‘Offers His Followers’ a ‘Fascist Bargain’
Did liberals’ reliance on so-called identity politics cost them the presidential election? It doesn’t matter, suggested Slate’s Michelle Goldberg in a Tuesday piece. Goldberg has no use for “the more illiberal aspects of social justice politics,” but thinks that in general Democrats stand for exactly what, and who, they should stand for. “There can be no going back on defending the tenuous gains…
Mother Jones Marks Thanksgiving with Annual Freak-out Over Redskins
Lefty rags like Mother Jones wouldn’t exist without dudgeon -- low, high or in between. But surely they can give it a rest on Thanksgiving? No! Thanksgiving is a day to get especially dudgeony for good progressives. (You know, the kind of morally serious individuals that would publicly compare a lost election to the 9-11 attacks.
CNN's Amanpour Whines: 'Exceptionally High Bar' Media Set for Hillary
One blog on the inanities in CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour's impassioned address at the Committee to Protect Journalists dinner against granting any respect to conservatives in the "news" media product is not enough. In a second look at the transcript, one can see how Amanpour complained that Hillary Clinton was judged by an "exceptionally high bar" and Trump an "exceptionally low bar."
She…
