Chris Matthews, on Tuesday's Hardball, broke down video of a tea party protester, allegedly spitting on Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, like it was the Zapruder film as he and his guest John Heilemann of the New York magazine both claimed it reminded them of the integration of Little Rock Central High School, as Matthews blurted: "You know I just saw one of those pictures the other day, a woman down…

Since Obama's health care legislation has been signed into law, the media have been in overdrive about the backlash - whether it's been former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's "reload" metaphor "targeting" certain congressional districts or how Republican lawmakers have supposedly encouraged violence by their floor rhetoric. Media personalities and Tea Party movement detractors have been agog - saying…

And now, ladies and gentlemen, for your amusement, film critic and liberal apologist Roger Ebert, in what I hope is an early April Fool's joke:"Since the invention of the teleprompter, no President has needed one less than Barack Obama." Has Ebert never heard of the infamous "corpseman" incident?

On his Washington Post online chat today, Post TV critic Tom Shales smacked at liberals and feminists who objected to his column saying Christiane Amanpour was a terrible choice for ABC's Sunday show This Week, and even suggested they were a "coven" (of witches). Near the chat's beginning, he reported:  Last week I wrote a column that maintained Christiane Amanpour is a poor choice to host ABC's…

CBS's Early Show and NBC's Today on Tuesday ignored the arrest of a man who was plotting to kill Republican Congressman Eric Cantor. ABC's Good Morning America mentioned the story only in a news brief in the 8am hour. Last week, however, GMA highlighted threats against Democrats and worried about "angry talk" from Sarah Palin. The Early Show may have ignored the story of Norman Leboon and the…

So said actor Matthew Modine in an interview published at CNN.com Monday."That would be the miracle if we can get, sit down and talk to our…

Yesterday, Government/General Motors announced changes in its financial management team. Chris Liddell, who himself just started at GM in January, brought on a new VP to be involved with its pension investments. More interestingly, he hired a new VP and Treasurer with an interesting background (bold is mine): During his 11 years at Morgan Stanley (head of Industrials Investment Banking), (Daniel…

On Monday's O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, NPR news analyst Juan Williams furthered the left's talking point about the tea party's supposed connection to militias, and even went so far to claim that the Gadsden or "Don't Tread on Me" flags used by the conservative grassroots movement is "the same imagery that was on Timothy McVeigh" [audio available here].Williams made this preposterous claim…

NBC's Matt Lauer, in an exclusive interview with the President on Tuesday's Today show, bought into Barack Obama's contention that opposition to the health care bill by Republicans was motivated solely by partisan and not ideological grounds as he underlined: "So you're saying it's all politics.
