A week ago this morning, St. Louis Post-Dispatch readers awoke to the newspaper’s presidential endorsement editorial, “Obama for president: A second term for a serious man.” Yet it was very hard to take the editorial seriously. “Ideologically, the P-D is similar to the New York Times, but it’s so knuckleheaded that it almost makes the Times look sophisticated,” the Wall Street Journal’s…

Michael Schneider reported about campaign plot lines showing up in network sitcoms in the October 15-21 edition of TV Guide. NBC's gay sitcom "The New Normal" had an "Obama Mama" episode,  and ABC's Tim Allen sitcom "Last Man Standing" will debut in November with an Obama-fan-vs-. Romney- fan plot. In an age in which the networks can't seem to censor anything -- and in which ABC can put on a…

Right after the debate on PBS, pseudo-conservative analyst David Brooks hailed Joe Biden over Paul Ryan. “Biden naturally talks the language of the kitchen table,” while Paul Ryan talked the language of conservative think tanks like Empower America, where he used to work. By Friday night’s NewsHour, Brooks shifted with the crowd, and agreed that Biden was too rude, and certainly way too rude…

An Obama voter who assumes if he can lower the seas then local transportation departments can get deer to obey highway signs? A woman called a Fargo, North Dakota radio station last month to complain about how she’d hit three deer with her car over the years and wants deer crossing signs moved so the deer will cross less busy roads – as if deer read and follow roadside signage! Is she for real…

On Friday, NPR’s All Things Considered played up the hard-fought race to defeat Rep. Michele Bachmann for re-election after she ran for president. Reporter David Welna explained “Bachmann may be best known for her stridently conservative worldview and controversial remarks, but also her ability to raise huge amounts of money by congressional standards.” She reported raising a whopping $4.5…

Differing security policies for recent concerts at Brooklyn's new Barclays Center are raising eyebrows in the Big Apple. When rapper Jay-Z did a series of concerts at the new facility beginning the end of September, attendees were forced to go through metal detectors, but when Barbra Streisand performed there Friday evening, no such precautions were in place.

Bill Maher likes to deride conservatives for living “inside a bubble” where they consume news from only those with whom they agree and so are unaware of the “facts,” but he could just as well be describing the insular world of himself or others in the liberal media. Case in point: An NPR and Washington Post contributor who spends her days reading left-wing magazines and watching MSNBC, to…

Jay Leno spent nearly three minutes of his opening monologue Friday trashing Vice President Joe Biden for his performance during Thursday's debate. Although the Tonight Show host did poke some fun at Paul Ryan and Sarah Palin, the bulk of his jokes targeted Biden including him saying it was "really smart" of moderator Martha Raddatz "to cut Joe off after that third scotch and soda" (video…

No one was more over the top in praising ABC's Martha Raddatz as debate moderator than her colleagues at ABC. Former ABC News president David Westin -- the man so deeply biased to the left that he declared a journalist can't judge if the Pentagon is a legitimate target for a terrorist attack -- honored Raddatz on The Huffington Post with an article titled "Why and How Martha Won the Debate --…

It's one thing to have a show cancelled, but before it even premieres? Such is what happened to Dane Cook's new NBC program Next Caller which according to Deadline Hollywood has been axed after four episodes have been recorded and not one aired.

Barack Obama must be getting really nervous about his reelection prospects. On Saturday, his campaign announced that former President Bill Clinton and rock legend Bruce Springsteen will be headlining a get-out-the-vote event in Parma, Ohio, Thursday.

Remember Carole Simpson, the ABC "reporter" who got all verklempt when she had the chance to interview then President Bill Clinton in 1999?  Simpson so embarrassed herself that she made MRC's "Worst Media Bias" list for that year. Fast forward 13 years to this morning, when Melissa Harris-Perry had a Carole Simpson moment of her own.  On her MSNBC show, revealing that she recently had the…

Not surprisingly, Bill Maher and guest Ben Affleck took some cheap shots at former President George W. Bush during the Overtime installment of Friday's Real Time on HBO. Smacking them down was conservative author Ann Coulter who deliciously said, "This is getting more boring than Charlie Rose (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):

This could be the lamest defense yet for the lapses that led to the murder of US Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens.  According to a former diplomat appointed by Bill Clinton, providing tighter security for Ambassador Stevens might have prevented him from carrying out his diplomatic duties. Daniel Serwer, the Clinton diplomat in question, offered his excuse for the Benghazi debacle on MSNBC's…
