On the site of the Las Vegas debate on Tuesday, new MRCTV correspondent Brittany M. Hughes asked CNN primetime host Don Lemon if the media tilts left. He made faces like the question was preposterous, and denied any such thing. "People see what they want to see." It's the latest version of "Bias is in the eye of the beholder." So MRCTV followed up with a collection of CNN clips from our archives…

Washington Post media blogger Erik Wemple reported Friday that in a chat with former New York Times television reporter Bill Carter on the SiriusXM show “The Bill Carter Interview,” CNN host Anderson Cooper confessed that he shouldn’t have handed Bernie Sanders his pro-Hillary “damn-emails” moment. “I wish I had brought in one other candidate before I went to Sanders on the email thing because I…

Based on a map presented during a recent MSNBC broadcast, I'm left wondring why there's all this hand-wringing over a "two state solution" in the Middle East. After all, according to that MSNBC map and the host of the program involved, "Palestine" has been around for almost 70 years, existing since 1946 (HT Sooper Mexican at the Right Scoop):

The conventional wisdom is that Joe Biden has been staying on the sidelines, waiting to see how bad the email scandal gets for Hillary. But while that might be true, consider that Biden need not just be a passive player in the game. There is a plausible theory by which Biden's entry into the race by its very fact would increase the odds of Hillary encountering legal travails. One reason that…

On Thursday’s Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, the host played a clip of Carly Fiorina pushing back at a voter criticizing American Muslims by insisting “We judge people as individuals.” Even as O’Donnell thought she was providing a lesson for Donald Trump, former MSNBC host Alex Wagner wanted to deny her any credit as long as she's somehow comparable to George Wallace (a Democrat) and still…

Craig Shirley has already written two terrific history books about Ronald Reagan, chronicling  the 1976 and 1980 presidential campaigns. Now he has delivered the trifecta: Last Act: The Final Years and Emerging Legacy of Ronald Reagan. After spending considerable time at the Reagan Library and conducting interviews with those who knew Reagan best, Shirley presents a narrative about Reagan’s…

As I noted on Friday, the New York Times has become the de facto head cheerleader for Truth, the movie which purports to tell the story behind CBS News's 60 Minutes report on President George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard service in the early 1970s aired in September 2004. The Old Gray Lady has hosted a TimesTalk video in which one of the film's lead actors, Robert Redford as Dan Rather,…

On Friday's Wolf show on CNN, during an interview with Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Ron Dermer, substitute host Jim Sciutto cited a quote from State Department Spokesman John Kirby accusing Israeli security forces of using "excessive force" against Palestinians as he charged that Israelis have been using "live fire" to shoot at "unarmed protesters."

Just a few weeks ago, comedian Margaret Cho ranted on Twitter in defense of Planned Parenthood that “God created abortion” and “It's not a child -- it's a bunch of cells. And the definition of 'child' is not yours to decide. It's the woman's.” But in the October 25 edition of People magazine, Cho expressed her desire to kill molesters and  animal abusers like Michael Vick, the NFL quarterback…

A week ago (late on a Friday afternoon, naturally), the Obama administration released food stamp enrollment figures for July. Despite millions of Americans finding work during the past several years, the data continued a national trend of little to no meaningful decline in enrollment. Seasonally adjusted Household Survey employment is now 148.8 million, slightly above its prerecession November…

Another Hollywood liberal infatuated by Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Actress Jill Hennessy, best-known for starring roles in NBC’s Law & Order and Crossing Jordan, hailed Hillary Clinton: “I just think she has accomplished more than most people accomplish in about five lifetimes.” But she was quick to also trumpet Bernie Sanders: “I find him really inspiring. I think he’s tremendous.”

The New York Times has not merely climbed aboard the bandwagon of Truth, which exalts the fraudulent September 2004 CBS 60 Minutes report about President George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard Service. It's now serving as the film's de facto lead apologist. The most recent example demonstrating how deeply in the tank the Old Gray Lady has gone is Stephen Holden's Thursday film review…

It has happened many times in the past. A story is covered by numerous websites but which is ignored by the mainstream media because it doesn't fit with their political agenda. However, rarely has there been such a blatant example of this Web/MSM dichotomy in coverage as what happened this week in view of the fact that it involved a major presidential election issue. Hillary Clinton claimed her…

Finally getting his chance to interview Hillary Clinton on Friday’s The Lead, CNN anchor Jake Tapper didn’t exactly measure up as while he did what other reporters failed to do in asking Clinton about her relationship with Sidney Blumenthal, he cozied up to her on the recent marking of her and Bill’s 40th wedding anniversary plus sarcastically asking he could “get your e-mail address.”
