Radical Chic: Times Relaunches Mag With Hagiography of Terrorist Helper “Such an outpouring of rage at a 40-year-old woman, mother to a toddler, who was convicted in her mid-20s of abetting a terrorist plot that never took place, is a measure of the degree to which Peruvians are still traumatized by the violence that convulsed their country during the years when the Shining Path warred…

Howard Kurtz on Sunday scolded the media for drumbeating war "again" and not asking any skeptical questions about America's goals in Libya. On CNN's "Reliable Sources," Kurtz repeated his previously made assertion that this is what happened before the United States invaded Iraq in 2003 (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Bill Maher in the middle of last year's crisis in the Gulf of Mexico wrongly stated on national television that Brazil had gotten off of oil 30 years ago. With great irony, President Obama announced Saturday that he wants America to become a major buyer of - wait for it! - Brazilian oil drilled offshore:

The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner has: raised troop levels in Afghanistan; increased the number of drone attacks in Pakistan; kept the terrorist detention center in Guantanamo Bay fully intact, and; now bombed Libya. Noticing the absurd irony was schlockumentary filmmaker Michael Moore who took to Twitter Saturday with a series of tweets aimed at the Obama administration:

David Gregory is best-known as the calm, if liberal, host of NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday mornings. But he’s also a fan of the Washington Capitals hockey team and as a local celebrity, along with Pat Sajak, he volunteered to help cheer on the team with its “Unleash the Fury!” in-game presentation centered around actor Tom Green reprising the line from the same scene he played in the movie…

National Public Radio is in the "Featured Employers Spotlight" in Sunday's Washington Post. That could be because NPR has posted ads for 24 job openings at NPR, including the vacated spot of Ellen Weiss, the senior vice president for news that canned Juan Williams over the phone. But even in the want ads, NPR can't be honest about its support from taxpayers: NPR is an internationally…

At NRO Media Blog, Greg Pollowitz underlined how Dan Amira at New York magazine worked overtime to make the case that President Obama's self-promotional appearance touting his NCAA basketball tournament picks actually aided Japan in "tangible ways" that never would have happened if he hadn't gone to the sports-loving segment of the American public with a charity pitch: As Japan crept closer…

Naturally, The New York Times has no interest in finding a scandal in the liberal Governor of New York "shacking up" or "living in sin," even though some Catholic experts recommended Andrew Cuomo should be denied communion for living with Food Network "Semi-Homemade" cook Sandra Lee. (There was no room for jokes that she's only a semi-homemaker without a wedding ring.) Cuomo is divorced and…

Allow me to refresh his memory. Ed Schultz and a caller to his radio show Thursday got into a heated argument after she criticized him for suggesting last year that Democrats stay away from the polls on election day to express their anger with congressional Democrats for not extending unemployment benefits. Schultz not only denied what the caller said, he was unequivocal and emphatic about…

The sexist media attacks on Sarah Palin clearly know no bounds. On Friday, in the middle of his opening monologue on HBO's "Real Time," Bill Maher actually used a highly derogatory term for a woman's vagina while referring to the former Alaska governor (video courtesy Jeff Poor follows with transcript and commentary, serious vulgarity warning):

The liberal media collectively hyperventilated the past couple of days after conservative author Ann Coulter had the nerve to claim that radiation at certain levels is actually a good thing. Jumping on the breathless bandwagon was MSNBC's Ed Schultz Friday who called Coulter "toxic" as he attacked her assertions without clearly elucidating her point (video follows with transcript and…

Bill Maher went on a hate-filled rant about Republicans Friday night because the GOP in his view are too interested in "useless distractions" like public unions, ACORN, NPR and Planned Parenthood. After telling his "Real Time" audience, "Governing this country with Republicans is like rooming with a meth addict," he dubbed the entire Party as racist saying, "Every black person scares you…

For general discussion and debate about politics, the economy, sports, March Madness, or whatever else tickles your fancy.

The back and forth between Washington Post syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer and White House Office of Management and Budget Director Jacob ("Jack") Lew continues. Thus far, Krauthammer has won both rounds, including his punch-out on Thursday. It all started on February 21, when Lew issued a "rebuttal" to a USA Today editorial which called for near-term action to deal with Social…
