When the Washington Post's "conservative" blogger Jennifer Rubin last Sunday accused the right-leaning media of being "embarrassingly bad this election cycle," it seemed a metaphysical certitude CNN's Howard Kurtz would soon have her on to advance her view. True to form, exactly one week later there was Rubin on Reliable Sources with the host saying, "This indictment suggests, my reading of…

The Chris Matthews Show this weekend played an absolutely hilarious clip of the late comedian Chris Farley impersonating Newt Gingrich at a House Republican Conference meeting in April 1995. For your entertainment pleasure this Sunday, here is the entire hysterical event (video follows):

Not that it took keen insight to catch it, but yours truly was one of a very few people who pointed out that General/Government Motors unduly dressed up its financial statements in advance of its late-2010 initial public offering by foisting an unreasonable level of vehicle inventory on dealers.

As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC's Ed Schultz last week actually suggested that CNN's Anderson Cooper might have had something to do with him being named to GQ's "The 25 Least Influential People Alive" list.

Washington Post editorial cartoonist Tom Toles is both generally unfunny and a terrible artist. That doesn't mean he can't offend conservatives, as he did in 2006 when he had defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld categorize a quadruple-amputee as "battle hardened." In Sunday's newspaper, Toles mocked Newt Gingrich as so rhetorically reckless and self-destructive that the best caricature of him…

Only in a liberal cocoon of a publication would come the headine, “Chelsea Clinton, Living Up to the Family Name.” But there it was in The New York Times. That writer sounds like someone who never read The Starr Report, or anything else critical of the way the Clintons managed the White House or Little Rock. Amy Chozick's article has no Chelsea (or Clinton) critics of any kind, of course, and…

On his radio show yesterday, Ed Schultz asked Rich Stockwell, executive producer for "The Ed Show" on MSNBC, about their responsibility in covering Occupy protests. Stockwell's response (audio) -- "Well, look, as journalists we need to cover this story.
