CNN's Jake Tapper hosted conservative radio show host Mark Levin for a lengthy interview on Friday's The Lead. Levin touched on President Obama's foreign policy, Obamacare, what happens in a government shutdown, and he previewed his forthcoming book "The Liberty Amendments." Levin skewered President Obama for talking with the President of Iran but refusing to negotiate with Congress over…

It's not enough that MSNBC regularly touts the liberal line on every issue from climate change to raising the debt limit -- and has the poor ratings to prove it. But now, a press release sent out on Friday declares that NBC -- the parent company of the cable channel -- will begin on Monday a week-long series entitled “Ready or Not, the New Health Care” and described as “a multi-screen…

Members of the liberal media continue to pile disrespect on the debt limit as the drumbeat for Congress to raise it grows louder. On Thursday’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell called the debt limit “a really dumb idea” and said there was no reason for it. That's right, she wants to get rid of it altogether. Mitchell was talking to Rachel Maddow about the coming debt ceiling…

While he faced stiff competition, you just knew he was a shoo-in to win this. A packed ballroom of Media Research Center 2013 Gala attendees chose MSNBC's Chris Matthews as the winner of the 2013 Puppy Love Award, beating out ABC's Diane Sawyer and CNN's Piers Morgan. Matthews won this DisHonor Award for his June 5, 2013 pronouncement that President Obama was "clean as a whistle" and that…

 Chris Matthews doesn't like cheap shots. The Hardball host, who two days ago linked Ted Cruz to Hitler, on Thursday raged at a Republican Congressman for making a joke at his expense. Pennsylvania Congressman Scott Perry appeared on Matthews's show and aggressively fought back against the charge that uncaring Republicans want to shut down the government. This led Matthews to change the subject…

At the top of Thursday's NBC Nightly News, anchor Brian Williams issued a dire warning to viewers about the possibility of a government shutdown: "Time running out until a big deadline, now days away, and it's getting ugly in Washington. Tonight, can anything be done to save our government from itself?" [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump] Introducing the later report,…

The Little Sisters of the Poor sued over ObamaCare's birth control mandate on Tuesday, claiming the law forces them to violate their consciences. However, CNN ignored these nuns after boosting the liberal "Nuns on the Bus" tour last year that slammed the Ryan budget. "We cannot violate our vows by participating in the government's program to provide access to abortion inducing drugs," said…

As expected, the Senate has rejected measures to defund Obamacare in the government continuing resolution. What do you think will happen now that the bill goes back to the House? Would a shutdown actually happen? And isn't it also true that on the debt ceiling we're going to have to go through this process all over again?

Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas thinks conservatives live in a hermetically sealed bubble of Fox News and Breitbart commenters. On Thursday he mocked "reality-bending" Michael Walsh of National Review for suggesting the country would tilt away from Republican Tea Party-bashers like John McCain. “Conservatives love to quote the 'public', the 'country', the 'American people' without ever…

On Thursday's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell, MSNBC contributor Joy Reid asserted that Republicans who are trying to discourage people from signing up for ObamaCare are "asking you to essentially kill yourself," dismissing concerns about freedom, tagging their actions "insane." After a clip of President Obama complaining about ads financed by "Republican billionaires," host O'Donnell…

Thursday's CBS Evening News was practically shocked by a fact that threatens the agenda of radical environmentalists – global temperatures have simply not risen in 15 years. Scott Pelley trumpeted how "on the eve of a major new report on climate change...a surprising discovery." Mark Phillips hyped that "another inconvenient truth has emerged on the way to the apocalypse....the global…

With his trenchant dry humor and perfectly-timed zings at various liberals in the media, Charles Krauthammer delighted the audience at the Media Research Center's 2013 Gala and DisHonors Aawrds, where the syndicated columnist graciously accepted the MRC's William F. Buckley Jr. Award for Media Excellence. Dr. Krauthammer opened by quipping that, although he is still a licensed psychiatrist…

  The journalists at ABC News have not made an effort to hide their disgust with the conservative effort to oppose funding ObamaCare. On Wednesday, Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos derided Ted Cruz's fight against it as "bizarre." On Thursday night, World News's Jon Karl sneered that it was "absurd." [See video below.
