CNN's Ashleigh Banfield scolded two Republican congressmen for bringing the U.S. economy "to the brink," and one of them retorted that she was giving them a "tirade." "[W]hy connect the funding of the government, the entire U.S. economy, why bring it to this brink? Why not do it at all of the other times?

Why do Dems need Debbie Wasserman-Schultz when they've got Andrea Mitchell?  There was no mistaking Mitchell's anger on her MSNBC show today as she scolded Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz .  "Get real," reprimanded Mitchell, twice telling Chaffetz the Republican bill delaying the implementation of ObamaCare was "dead on arrival." For good measure, Mitchell put the onus on Republicans to cave…

In its 40-year history, the liberal media never really cared for the Heritage Foundation. But now that the think tank has been more assertive in its engagement of Capitol Hill, the liberal media are rewriting history to depict the move as something that is threatening the organization's respectability inside the Beltway. In July, I noted the Wall Street Journal's stab at the concern-trolling…

In an interview with Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on Monday's NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer urged Republicans to abandon their opposition to ObamaCare in order to avoid a government shutdown: "By the latest count, there have been something like 40 efforts in the House to either get rid of ObamaCare or defund it.

Even a radical leftist like Seymour Hersh thinks the media are obsequious toward President Obama. In an interview with the leftist U.K. paper The Guardian, Hersh said "It's pathetic, they are more than obsequious, they are afraid to pick on this guy." Hersh claims the Obama administration "lies systematically," yet none of the leviathans of American media, the TV networks or big print titles…

The list of things on which Barack Obama has been wrong goes on to the crack of doom.  But there's one thing on which the President is surely right. In devising his strategy for dealing with the shutdown, the prez can count on the MSM to blame Republicans. Mark Halperin bared the president's calculus on today's Morning Joe, saying the Obama admin has little incentive to negotiate because it…

Now I have no reason to leave home.” Some of have suggested Bullock was inspired by her part in "The Blind Side" to adopt Louis (born in New Orleans), but she's said it was a long-planned decision.

Google News really needs to work on its results counter. The first page of its 10:15 p.m. search listings on [Obama "widespread evidence"] (typed exactly as indicated between brackets) tells us that there are "about 90 results," but moving to the second page of listed results shows there are only 11 (technically 13, because the first listing on the first page has three items).

Conservatives might say Sen. Ted Cruz did well today in his debate with NBC’s David Gregory, the “Meet the Press” host. It sounded like a debate, not an interview. In his most obnoxious sentence, Gregory lectured Cruz that his 21-hour speech was a complete flop: “You haven’t moved anyone.” This, from the man who is so talented at persuasion that The Huffington Post reported “a trying few…
