After the State of the Union Address, ABC Lauds Obama as a 'Go-It-Alon
The journalists at ABC News have refrained from questioning Barack Obama's unilateral tone at the State of the Union address.

ABC’s Warming Alarmism Grows Cold
In a surprising turn, ABC’s “Nightline” consulted a scientist who thinks the world is in a period of global cooling.
“Nightline” strayed from the networks’ fixation on global warming on Jan. 29, instead running a story with one scientist’s warning of a new ice age. It was the first network program to mention “global cooling” in at least four years.
ABC interviewed Piers Corbyn, an…

MSNBC Unapologetically Alters Report on Biracial Cheerios Ad, Removing
MSNBC isn't anywhere near done apologizing for reflexively race-baiting conservatives.

In Rare Recognition, AP's Peoples Chronicles Dissatisfaction With Obam
At the Associated Press, labeling conservative politicians as "far-right" comes pretty easily. "Far-left"? Not so much.
That there was even one item in the "far-left" search just noted is unusual. It's even more remarkable that the underlying report was written by Steve Peoples, a far-lefty disguised as a reporter if there ever was one. Excerpts from his Wednesday dispatch follow the jump.

WashPost Cheers Hillary's Huge Lead in Dem Primary Poll; 'Benghazi' Om
Philip Rucker and Scott Clement sure are "Ready for Hillary." The Washington Post scribes dutifully pounded out a January 30 front-pager that furthers the Hillary-is-inevitable meme discernible throughout the liberal media.

CNN: Obama's Gun Control Failure 'One of His Biggest Disappointments
Thursday's New Day on CNN spotlighted President Obama's latest push for gun control, and lamented how "gun issues got just a mention in this year's State of the Union," compared to last year's post-Sandy Hook address. Anchor Kate Bolduan underlined how supposedly "gun control is expected to dog him [Obama] while he's on the road."
Correspondent Brianna Keilar later asserted that "in 2013, it…

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus Bans Staff from MSNBC After Race-Baiting T
As NewsBusters readers are aware, yesterday, MSNBC sent out an offensive tweet which claimed that conservatives hate interracial families. The network eventually retracted its tweet and some staffers with the left-wing cable channel apologized for it but that wasn't good enough for Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus who has banned all of his staff members from appearing on…

CBS This Morning on Thursday ignored the larger issue behind the blacklisting of a small Christian film that had its Oscar nomination revoked. Talking to Bruce Broughton, the man who wrote the title song for Alone Yet Not Alone, reporter Ben Tracy failed to wonder if there was a religious motive behind the controversial actions.

Sen. Rand Paul sat down with NPR anchor Audie Cornish on the January 29th All Things Considered, and from the moment the interview began, NPR’s listeners knew the likely outcome: a one-sided attack job.
