Flashback: Sam Bee Made Fun of Creepy, Pawing 'Charlie Rose Clones'

The NewsBusters staff was passing around an old YouTube video from Samantha Bee that she taped with Charlie Rose in his Bloomberg studios last year. It was titled "What Are You Hiding, Charlie Rose?" She asked to turn up the lights in the typically black backdrop, and was frightened to discover a crowd of "Charlie Rose clones." One clone even paws her on the shoulder: "Hi, I'm Charlie Rose." The…

NYT Slimes: Charles Manson ‘Was a Harbinger of Today’s Far Right’

Never miss a chance to smear conservatives, even if that means somehow connecting the right to the murderous cult leader Charles Manson. That’s apparently the view of the New York Times and Newsweek. Both liberal outlets used Manson’s death to attack political enemies.

MSNBC's Joy Reid Lashes Out at 'Sexual Raptor' Clarence Thomas

This article was all but inevitable. MSNBC host Joy Reid took to The Daily Beast to insist “As We Rethink Old Harassers, Let’s Talk About Clarence Thomas.” By the standard of today’s outrageous allegations, Anita Hill’s still-unproven charges didn’t include rape, or sexual touching. They were all about talking – talking about porn films or making jokes about pubic hairs. But somehow Reid…

AP's Paul Wiseman Smears GOP Tax Plan as 'Trickle Down'

At the Associated Press on Friday, economics writer Paul Wiseman attempted to rewrite history, pretending that "trickle down" economics is a term Republicans have used for their economic plans since the days of Ronald Reagan, and that the current GOP tax plan which has made it through the House and is being considered by the Senate is more of the same thing. In fact, Reagan's policies, which were…

Thus it's understandable that Indian high schools across the country sport nicknames like "Chiefs" and "Redskins." Those in the minority on that issue, including one of the foremost leftist rags among the media -- The Nation -- are deeply disturbed that the NFL would have the gall to schedule a…

NYT Review of Ivana Book: We're 'Held Hostage by a Throbbing Blister'!

In May, The New York Times published two poison-pen reviews of Ivanka Trump's book Women Who Work. Jessa Crispin (Twitter handle @theBookSlut) ranted it sounded like “the scrambled Tumblr feed of a demented 12-year-old.” So it's not surprising that the Times would slam her mother Ivana's new book Raising Trump, complete with her ex-husband described as a "throbbing blister."
