Ex-AG Rejects Suggestion Hillary Wouldn't Be Charged in Email Probe

Members of the Morning Joe panel tried their best to block and tackle for Hillary given the revelation that the person who set up her server has been granted immunity. Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey said the most troubling issue is the way things got from the SIPRnet--a Pentagon system used for exchanging Secret information--to Hillary's server.  Mukasey explained that someone must have…

In one of the more intriguing historical analogies you’ll see made in this presidential election, MSNBC’s The Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell compared the 13 days until the March 15 Republican primaries that could decide whether or not Donald Trump is the GOP presidential nominee to the Cuban Missile Crisis from the 1960s.

Why Dan Savage's Gay Anti-Catholic Comedy 'Real O'Neals' Is Real Hell

ABC’s new bigoted anti-Catholic show The Real O’Neals makes fun of Catholic teachings and believers to the point that if the network had targeted any other religious group for these attacks, journalists would call it hate speech. In the two-episode premiere, there were 93 separate visual or verbal reminders that this was a show making fun of Catholics, 8 admissions of Catholic sins, and I…

WashPost Plays the Hitler Card Again — In a House Editorial

The Washington Post's obsession over Donald Trump is a sight to behold — but not a pretty one. On Monday, following two week-earlier Trump-demonizing columns, one comparing the billionaire to medieval emperor Charlemagne, and another claiming that Trump's electoral progress thus far had helped her understand "exactly how Hitler could have come to power in Germany," the Post issued a house…

Appearing as a guest on Wednesday's CNN Newsroom with Carol Costello, supposedly right-leaning actor, economist and former Nixon speech writer Ben Stein praised socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders's plan for national health care, and even admitted to a "fondness" for former law school classmate Hillary Clinton as he mused about whom he might support for President. It was only after…

Brokaw to Trump Critics: Halting Him Would 'Be an Attack' on Democracy

Former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw made his latest appearance on the newscast he helmed for decades to act as though he had the best interests of the Republican Party at heart and warned opponents of Donald Trump that any successful attempt to stop him from gaining the nomination could “be an attack on the basic principles of why we have elections.”

WashPost Reporter Fails to Correct False Claim on Trump and Duke

Evan Gahr of the Daily Caller notes that The Washington Post and their race/gender reporter Janell Ross falsely claimed on Tuesday that Donald Trump “failed on national TV to resoundingly reject the support of David Duke," ignoring a Tuesday morning phone interview on ABC where Trump clearly disavowed Duke and other white supremacists.

Pelley on Primary Results; ‘Frontrunners Look Like a Cinch to Clinch'

For anyone who watches the CBS Evening News at least somewhat frequently, anchor Scott Pelley is known for his share of cheesy jokes, puns, and rhymes to engage with his audience in reporting on both hard and soft news stories. Wednesday’s show was no exception as Pelley quipped that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton “look like a cinch to clinch” the nominations of their respective parties as “[t]…

Matthews: 'Mullahs' In GOP Want to Thwart Democracy at GOP Convention

Doubling down on his gripe from last night that the Republican convention might not award Donald Trump the nomination if he rolls into Cleveland with a plurality, but less than a majority, of the delegates, MSNBC's Chris Matthews insisted that such a move would be akin to the "democracy" that takes place in Iran, where the "mullahs" – although Chris erroneously pronounced the word as moolahs –…

NYT's Yee Makes Excuses for Hate-Crime Hoaxers Charged With Assault

Well, at least they covered it. That’s the best that can be said about the New York Times story by Vivian Yee on the front of Wednesday’s Metro section about a racial hate-crime hoax at the University of Albany. Three black female students who initially blamed "white men" for racial attacks on a bus were instead charged themselves with misdemeanor assault against a white woman. But Yee did her…

According to an article posted on the NBC News website by Luke Russert, nine GOP members of the U.S. House of Representatives created a controversy by voting against naming a post office in Winston-Salem, N.C., after “award-winning poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou.” Russert stated: On days when House members don't have much to do, “the body names post offices. Usually these are fairly…

Halperin: All Agree Great for SCOTUS to 'Look More Like America'

I'm guessing most NewsBusters readers could care less about "diversity" when it comes to choosing Justices of the Supreme Court. That they'd be thrilled if all nine justices looked, for example, like Clarence Thomas--so long as all shared his philosophy of judicial restraint and original intent. On today's With All Due Respect, Mark Halperin interviewed Planned Parent president Cecile Richards.…
