Newspapers Continue Not to Label Democrats Caught In Scandal
A close adviser and chief fundraiser to Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was indicted on fraud charges. Yet if you read about the story in the Chicago Tribune, you won't read which party the governor belongs to. That's right. Blagojevich is a Democrat, yet the Trib didn't bother to include this fact in their piece.Meanwhile, Bryan over at Hot Air showed how the Kansas City Star reported the…
LAT Fails To Identify Public Activism of Letter Writers
Fervent liberalism is not the only thing that's predictable at the Los Angeles Times. You can bet that when the Times publishes a news article on the Church abuse scandal, rabid letters to the editor that bash the Church will follow a few days later. Such was the case in yesterday's paper (Sat. 12/15/07). Yet the Times also failed to identify that both letter writers critical of the Church have…
Matthews Panel Hates Hillary, Hearts Huckabee
As NewsBuster Mark Finkelstein reported, Sunday's "This Week" wasn't a good omen for Hillary Clinton or her supporters.Fortunately, for those of us that enjoy Hillary bashing as much as a Gershwin tune (how 'bout you?), dessert was served on "The Chris Matthews Show" as panelists including Dan Rather, Norah O'Donnell, Katty Kay, and Andrew Sullivan gave conservatives an early Clinton kicking…

Rich: Co-Panelists 'Pushed' O'Donnell Into Anti-Mormon Rant
The devil made Larry do it.Don't blame Lawrence O'Donnell for his ugly anti-Mormon rant. It was really the fault of O'Donnell's fellow panelists. That's Frank Rich's take on the unseemly episode on the McLaughlin Group a couple Fridays ago.In his NY Times column of today, Rich claims that O'Donnell was:pushed over the edge by his peers’ polite chatter about Mitt Romney’s sermon on “Faith in…
Keith Olbermann: What I Do ‘Is Really Journalism
It certainly won't come as a surprise to NewsBusters readers that MSNBC's Keith Olbermann is more separated from reality than virtually any member of the media.Still, the idea this former sportscaster and current liberal commentator actually considers what he does as "really journalism" should shock and disgust any member of said profession, even Bill Moyers who had Olbermann as a guest on Friday…
It's Saturday Night Reading
How odd are the social liberals at The Huffington Post? They want you to know polyamorous relationships, they're just like monogamy. Sort of. Nice try, Rachel Kramer Bussel. You can also read about a book called "The Ethical Slut."
