CNN Anchor Tells David Bossie You Can't Judge OWS By 'Worst Members

With Occupy Unmasked being released today in select theaters, this morning’s edition of CNN’s Early Start with Zoraida Sambolin invited David Bossie, producer of the film and President of Citizens United to discuss the film.  However, things got hazy towards the end of the interview where Sombolin shamelessly tried to convey the narrative that Occupy is a “peaceful” movement.

WashPost Fact Checkers Rush to Provide 'Context' for Obama Clip: Exagg

It doesn't seem to matter what the president or vice president say on their re-election campaign trail. Even their most outrageous statements like Biden's "put y'all back in chains" remark are given the benefit of the doubt by the supposedly non-partisan media. More often than not, we're told by liberal media "fact checkers" that Republicans end up using them out of proper "context." Take…

Does Ed Schultz Believe New Deal Emerged From US Experience in WWII

Sure sounds like it, but you be the judge. Here's Schultz on his radio show Wednesday, doing his part in the liberal media pile-on after Mitt Romney dared suggest considerable overlap between President Obama's supporters and those Americans most dependent on government (audio) --

Homer Simpson Votes Romney, Ends Up in Chinese Factory

Patrick Gavin at Politico reports that the new season of The Simpsons (Season 24!?) will show how Homer Simpson will vote: for Romney. It doesn't end well. "After voting for Romney, the touchscreen alerts Simpson that 'you can now see his tax returns,' in which Simpson learns that 'the government paid him taxes for five years.'” “I’ve got to tell the press!” yells Homer, and then he is…

Networks Devote a Scant Seven Minutes to 'Blistering' Fast and Furious

The three networks devoted less than seven minutes to a "blistering" new report from the Justice Department on the Fast and Furious scandal. In comparison, the same programs deluged the public with coverage of Mitt Romney's "secret" tax tape, hyping it for 88 minutes. From Wednesday night through Friday morning, World News, the NBC Nightly News, CBS This Morning, Good Morning America, Today…

Oversensitive NYTimes Editor Laments Success of GOP 'Deceit and Ridicu

New York Times reporter turned editorial writer David Firestone showed extreme sensitivity to the tender feelings of Democrats in his Wednesday afternoon post, "The ‘Redistribution’ of Wealth." In an editorial Sunday he dubiously claimed "Don't Tell Anyone, But the Stimulus Worked." Guided by pollsters like Frank Luntz, the Republican party upgraded all rich people into “job creators,” and…

'Mainstream' Media Credibility Crisis: Gallup Finds 60 Percent Have Li

As the media report on the allegedly horrid polls for Mitt Romney, will they take the time to report the latest on their own poll ratings with Gallup? “Americans' distrust in the media hit a new high this year, with 60% saying they have little or no trust in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly.” Can the media call themselves “mainstream” when Republicans and…

NBC Punts on Obama 'Redistribution' Video, but Hammered Romney's '47 P

NBC failed to press Obama adviser David Axelrod over the President's remarks about redistribution on Friday, chucking the story out of its news cycle after two full days. In contrast, the networks hammered Mitt Romney for three days over his comments on 47 percent of Americans who don't pay income taxes. The Today show did find time, however,  to cover the "Honey Boo Boo" nickname generator…

Saturday Night Live Uses Thursday Night Special To Call Mitt Romney Ra

Saturday Night Live trashed Mitt Romney and gave President Obama a pass on their September 20 election special.  SNL, which is known for its unabashed liberalism, took to the air Thursday night to smear Romney as a racist politician.  In total, SNL spent over 6 minutes smearing Governor Romney but just 13 seconds gently poking fun at the president indirectly. The show opened with a skit…

Bozell: Media Obama's 'Overeager Labrador Retriever' Biting Romney At

We’ve seen this play out over and over and over again. If it hurts Barack Obama’s chances of re-election, the media ignore it. If it hurts Mitt Romney, they obsess over it night after night. We saw it in July when Obama disparaged small business and at this point in the cycle the networks had given it ZERO coverage. We saw it last week when the networks relentlessly attacked Romney’s…

Hannity, Bozell Discuss Media Double Standard on Romney '47 Percent

Both Mitt Romney's "47 percent" remarks and Barack Obama's pro-"redistribution" comments could be considered "inflammatory if you want to look for inflammatory comments," and yet there's a massive double standard in how the media have reported on the two, NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center (MRC) president Brent Bozell told Fox News's Sean Hannity on the September 20 Hannity program…

Letterman Begs 'Delusional' Romney To Come On His Show

CBS Late Show host David Letterman on Thursday begged Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney - who he referred to as "delusional" - to come on his show. This came as a result of a recently released videotape of Romney saying at a Boca Raton fundraiser that Letterman hates him because he goes on the Tonight Show more often (video follows with transcript and commentary):
