For the New York Times, what better way to observe the 11th anniversary of 9-11 than by exploiting it for political purposes and seeking to blame George W. Bush? The Times chose to publish on its op-ed page today a column by Kurt Eichenwald, a former Times reporter now with Vanity Fair, entitled "The Deafness Before the Storm."  Its gruel is thin when it comes to actually assembling a case…

These are your tax dollars at work, times two: over the weekend on his public-radio talk show Smiley and West, PBS talk-show host Tavis Smiley denounced both party conventions from the left for failing to talk about war, and "war crimes." “Beyond the obligatory and perfunctory shout-outs at both conventions to the military, there was no discussion of the war, no discussion of getting out, no…

"Black conservatives are one of the rotten legs supporting the racist stool that is the Tea Party GOP," pronounced Daily Kos blogger Chauncey DeVega.

"It is part of a bargain which they have made," the Kosmonaut lectured. "For many,…

Conservative talk radio host Steve Malzberg and NewsBusters' associate editor Noel Sheppard had a lengthy Spreecast conversation Monday about the media's support of pedophilia, its love affair with Bill Clinton, and its hatred of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney (video follows with highlights and commentary).

It’s become clear that media “fact checkers” have gone far beyond the facts and are often simply flagging ads for using dramatic words, like commercials often do. Writing for the Washington Post’s Fact Checker page, Josh Hicks tried to “correct” a pro-life ad: “The antiabortion group Susan B. Anthony List released a video with testimony from failed-abortion survivor Melissa Ohden, who…

CNN analyst Roland Martin and MSNBC analyst Joan Walsh both adored the Democrat convention on Martin’s Sunday show Washington Watch on TV One. “I was even stunned, frankly, that the Democrats for the first time truly — truly outshined the Republicans when it came to foreign policy and the military,” claimed Martin.

The President of the United States got a lift, literally, from a super-…

Pop singer Rihanna and CNN's Piers Morgan had a heated exchange on Twitter Sunday. After Morgan said the singer needs to grow her hair back, Rihanna replied, "Grow a d--k." From there, the conversation got even more vulgar.

Throughout its morning and afternoon news coverage today, MSNBC has dealt with the hours-old teachers strike in Chicago. NBC reporter Kevin Tibbles did a few standups next to a picket line "outside the Ray Elementary School in Chicago." During his 11:40 a.m. Eastern live report, Tibbles interviewed a union teacher, John Cusick, who said he'd heard from parents, "mostly" who "support us" because…

Eager to get a jump-start on biased coverage of the next presidential race, on Monday's NBC Today, correspondent Andrea Mitchell salivated over a possible Hillary Clinton run: "Well, the conventions were barely over before politicians in both parties started talking about likely contenders for 2016, and overshadowing all others is the woman who wasn't even there." Mitchell sympathetically…
