CNN, ESPN Commentator: Gay Agenda Is The Constitution

The popular speech website Ted.com posted a speech in June from CNN and ESPN commentator L.Z. Granderson called "The Myth of the Gay Agenda." This is a terrible title, since Granderson actually claimed that the gay agenda matches the U.S. Constitution, more or less. He also naturally connects this "mythical" agenda to civil rights for women and blacks.  Not only did he hate the words "gay…

Daily Kos: July 4 for 'Rebels', Not 'Bootlickers

For July 4 thoughts, it's probably not the best idea to start at the Daily Kos. Meteor Blades wrote a piece emphasizing the idea of patriotism is for "rebels" and "dissidents," not for "bootlickers." The writer can't stand that patriots believe in American exceptionalism: "They make this claim as if—besides giving us impressive and justifiably revered notions of liberty and justice—our…

Heritage Health Care Expert: ObamaCare Just as Unsettled Matter Now as

“The wheels on this health-care law were already rickety and starting to fall off. I think that the Court's decisions are just going to make the wheels fall off that much faster.” That was Heritage Foundation Center for Health Policy Studies director Nina Owcharenko's assessment of Thursday's Supreme Court ruling in the ObamaCare cases.

Bozell Column: The Mob Presses On John Roberts

Is anyone surprised that the ink wasn’t dry on Chief Justice John Roberts’ incoherent switcheroo before Team Obama was again denying ObamaCare is a tax? Why did he do it? There is no doubt that the Left waged a war on the court’s public image. Just as Obama lectured at the justices during his State of the Union address for the Citizens United decision, so Obama and his media minions prepared…

Maddow Sub Ezra Klein Says Forget the Roberts Save! The Court Is Still

On Monday's Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, guest host Ezra Klein of The Washington Post defended liberals for "all that freaking out" about the Supreme Court throwing out Obamacare -- before John Roberts sealed the win for the liberals. Forget the end result, Klein announced -- the court almost ruled 5 to 4 to throw the entire thing out, so "you should be worried about the court today. It hasn't…

MSNBC's Wolffe Lumps Romney With John Edwards: 'Moral Questions' About

In one of the uglier MSM smears of the presidential campaign to date, MSNBC's Richard Wolffe has tried to tie Mitt Romney with one of America's most reviled men: John Edwards. Appearing on Al Sharpton's MSNBC show this afternoon, Wolffe somehow suggested that Romney's decision to invest overseas and legally trim his federal tax bill was akin to Edwards reprehensible behavior.  According to…

CNN Cheers Liberal Nuns Protesting the Ryan Budget, Hosts No One From

Ever sweet on liberal Catholic nuns, CNN played up a group of nuns lambasting the Ryan budget and hosted one of the leaders, Sr. Simone Campbell, three times in three weeks for an interview. In contrast, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) appeared not once on the network to defend his budget during that time span. "You go, girls," CNN's Carol Costello cheered the "Nuns on the Bus" tour. The tour…

PBS Star Tavis Smiley Slams Obama For Having No 'Genuine Love' for Bla

Brian Maloney at Radio Equalizer found that on his Sunday public-radio show with socialist professor Cornel West, PBS host Tavis Smiley thumped Obama chief of staff Valerie Jarrett for an apparently rude speech at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention in New Orleans on  June 23. She came to describe Obama's "genuine love for black people," which Smiley thought was ridiculous…

David Brooks Shocker: 'There Is a Coherent Republican Plan' To Replace

A consistent media narrative as the GOP moves to repeal ObamaCare is that they have nothing to replace it with. Surprisingly standing up to refute this nonsense Tuesday was New York Times columnist David Brooks who amazingly wrote, "Despite what you’ve read, there is a coherent Republican plan":

MSNBC's 'Now with Alex' Shows Herman Cain Video Out of Context; Paneli

Herman Cain's new "Cain TV" project, which he announced in a promo video on his Facebook page, will feature not only "critical commentary on issues of the day" but "pearls of wisdom from Herman himself," MSNBC's Alex Wagner snarked in a segment on today's Now with Alex entitled onscreen "This Just Happened." But the "pearl of wisdom" Wagner showed was a clip of Cain's video taken out of…

AP: Hot Weather in Summer Caused by Global Warming

If it weren't so distortive of the political system, liberal media bias would be downright hilarious, particularly when it's manifested in journalists' ability to turn on a dime and engage in rhetoric that they previously condemn when used by others.  You can't help but smile after reading Associated Press reporter Seth Borenstein's attempt to blame a few windstorms and hot weather on global…

Anchor David Muir even played a clip of one of the President's ads.  Washington editor Rick Klein trumpeted, "Democrats are definitely breaking through by calling into question what Romney wants to be his biggest strength."

Berlau Column: Let's Not Forget the Progressives Like Bill Maher Who B

Just a little over a week ago -- in a new low even for him -- HBO's Bill Maher publicly advocated giving a teenage boy a "wedgie." Now, Maher will likely join other liberals in embracing Jonathan Krohn because of Krohn's just-announced change in political philosophy. Krohn, who gave a rousing speech at the 2009 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and followed with the book…
