Despite having officially left the White House in December 2006, the mere mention of former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's name is almost as certain to evoke uncontrollable vitriol from liberal media members as someone saying in their presence "George W. Bush," "Dick Cheney," or "Halliburton."With this in mind, it certainly was not surprising to see Atlantic magazine's senior editor Andrew…

On Saturday, NewsBusters asked, "Will Media Pounce on Hillary's Lie About Dead 'Uninsured' Pregnant Woman?

Obama Rejects Ed Schultz Event Outburst: McCain a 'Warmonger
