CNN-mity: Tensions With Dobbs Were Evident Many Years Ago

Lou Dobbs has resigned from CNN, and his final show aired last night. The departure is reportedly on amicable terms.

NYT Defends Muslims After Ft. Hood, Attacked Mormons for Prop

Since Friday's massacre at Fort Hood, NewsBusters has been covering the efforts of several news outlets, including the New York Times, to warn of Muslim persecution in America.

What Have We Come To When The President Slurs Those Who Disagree

The left has gotten a lot of "giggles" over the term "teabaggers" in describing Americans who attend the tea parties. For those of you who don't know, teabagging is a perverse sexual term. It is interesting to me that the left not only knew the term, but seemed very comfortable using it. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised.Those having the most fun have been CNN's Anderson Cooper, Rachel…

Did Gen. David Petreaus Utter the Forbidden Word

(The following is satire -- I hope) Forget Ford Hood and investigating the so-called "terror" connections of Nidal Hasan. Yours truly has come across something the current crowd running our government might see as even more sinister. The Obama administration, the FBI, the Justice Department, and, most importantly, the White House's speech police simply have to get on this right away. You see,…

CNN Considers Political Correctness as a Factor in Ft. Hood Shootings

On Wednesday’s Situation Room, CNN’s Brian Todd actually considered that political correctness prevented earlier action against Ft. Hood shooter Nidal Hasan.
