CNN Blames GOP Reps for Women Saying Abortion Most Important Issue

After a Gallup poll showed abortion as the top issue among likely women voters, CNN's Carol Costello suggested Republicans are responsible – and not in a good way. "Why now? Maybe it's because there's been so much controversial language surrounding the issue lately, like Congressman Todd Akin's 'legitimate rape' comments," said Costello, bringing in the Democratic talking points.

Chris Hayes Compares Climate Change To The Struggle To End Slavery

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes is no stranger to making extreme and outrageous statements on his weekend show Up with Chris Hayes, but he forgot to filter his leftism for mainstream American consumption on Friday when he appeared on the noontime Now with Alex Wagner program. The Ivy League-educated Hayes ridiculously compared the environmentalists' fight against global warming to the struggle of 19th…

NYT's Egan Calls Romney 'Toff' With '1956' Mentality, Spreads Phony Ta

Timothy Egan, a liberal reporter for the New York Times who is now a left-wing columnist for nytimes.com, wrote a post Thursday on the second presidential debate. It followed the paper's desperate-sounding editorial that same day that tried to paint Mitt Romney as sexist for a reasonable observation about flexibility for women in the workplace. While Thursday's editorial accused Romney of a "…

Arrogant PBS Star Ken Burns Endorses Obama, Compares Him to FDR, Jimmy

One of the most celebrated and most arrogant stars at PBS is documentarian Ken Burns. He’s also a shameless Democrat partisan, shoveling tens of thousands of dollars of his taxpayer-subsidized riches to Democrats. In 2007, he endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton because perhaps "what the country really needed was a wiry, relatively inexperienced" person, comparing Obama to Abraham Lincoln…

A 'Yawning Gap Between the Haves and the Have-Nots,' Laments a New Yor

With Wednesday's "Costs Seen In Income Inequality," New York Times economics reporter Annie Lowrey got on the paper's liberal hobby horse of income inequality, which has the imprimatur of Executive Editor Jill Abramson, who promised to make such issues a priority. Lowrey's article was a classic of the genre, with loose talk of "the haves and the have-nots" more at home in a left-wing op-ed…

Forget Gallup, NBC Touts Obama Beating Romney (Not Anymore) in Hallowe

Death Threats Against Romney Soar After Second Debate: Will Media Cove

Running for president isn't just a long, arduous struggle anymore, it's downright dangerous! Proof of this can be found in hundreds of online death threats made against GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney that are receiving far less coverage in "mainstream" news outlets than when Barack Obama faced similar hostility while campaigning for the White House in 2008. One example of the…

Liberal 'Fact-Checking' Site States Comment From Ohio GOP Candidate Is

With the November 6 election drawing ever nearer, a race between Republican Josh Mandel and Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown for an Ohio U.S. Senate seat is heating up, and a "fact-checking" website is throwing coal on the fire while adding evidence to the claim that PolitFact Ohio is "riddled with liberal bias and lacks any scientific processes."

Bozell on Hannity's 'Media Mash': Media Running Interference for Obama

Talk is Cheap: DNC Funded by Corporations

O’Reilly To Megyn Kelly: ‘The Lowest You Can Go Is To Have Your Ha

In a bit of light-hearted segment on Thursday’s O’Reilly Factor, FNC’s Megyn Kelly described a recent run-in she had with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews.  Kelly described her encounter the following way: When he saw me in the airport, he had no idea who I was.

AP Story on Demise of Newsweek Print Edition Skips Crucial Role Played

The Associated Press published an article on the reasons for the demise of the print of edition of Newsweek but skipped any mention of the former editor of that magazine, Jon Meacham, who was instumental in ensuring its failure. It's the equivalent of publishing an article on the reasons why the Titanic sunk in which the word "iceberg" does not appear. What Meacham did to destroy Newsweek was…
