Networks Ignore Rape Threats Hurled At Pro-Life Texas State Senator
As Texas State Senator Wendy Davis continues to be fawned over by liberals for her filibuster of SB 5, Texas’ latest abortion law, the media have also given her political cover by omitting key details about the bill. It would have banned abortions at 20-weeks and forced clinics to undergo modifications to be reclassified as a surgical centers. After all, a late term abortion is surgery at that…

Nets Pull Their Punches in Covering Liberal Alec Baldwin's Anti-Gay Ra
The three major networks devoted four times as much coverage to obsessing over Paula Deen's use of a racial epithet 30 years ago than they did of outspoken liberal Alec Baldwin's anti-gay rant on Twitter. Over the first three days of the revelation that Deen used the N-word in 1983, ABC, CBS and NBC featured the story for 32 minutes and 41 seconds. Over the three days since Baldwin's tirade,…
Pelosi Hails ObamaCare: It ‘Captures the Spirit of Our Founders
Independence Day is the perfect day to remember that liberal Democrats want Americans to be dependent on government.

“[W]hen we celebrate Independence Day we’ll also be observing health independence.…
Matthew Dowd: 'I Wouldn't Be Taking Political Advice From Bill Kristol
As NewsBusters routinely reports, one of the tricks the liberal media employs to discredit conservatives is to seek opinions from supposedly right-leaning commentators who are really nothing more than Republicans In Name Only often sharing much the same views espoused by the left.
One such "conservative" media darling is ABC political contributor Matthew Dowd who on Sunday's This Week said, "…
ABC News Defends Alec Baldwin, Calls Homophobic Attack ‘Alleged Slur
It was a metaphysical certitude that liberal media members were going to once again show their hypocritical colors and defend Alec Baldwin’s homophobic attack on a British reporter Thursday.
ABC’s David Muir came through for the high-strung actor on Saturday’s World News actually calling the attack an “alleged slur” (video follows with transcript and commentary):

ABC, NBC Skip Announcement That IRS Aggressively Targeted Conservative
ABC and NBC on Thursday night and Friday morning ignored an announcement by the Internal Revenue Service inspector general that liberal organizations were not forced to endure the same invasive investigations as conservative, Tea Party groups.

ABC, CBS & NBC Too Excited by Wendy Davis to Recognize Her Side is Los
The Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks were so excited by Democratic Texas state senator Wendy Davis’s filibuster they failed to notice she is on the losing side of the abortion debate.

ABC Pushes 'Historic' Immigration Bill, Laments Fate in 'Inhospitable
The journalists at Good Morning America on Friday worried that "inhospitable" Republicans in the House would leave the Senate immigration bill as "half-made history." Reporters Dan Harris and Jim Avila offered little in the way of explanation as to why a GOP Congress member might possibly oppose such a bill.
Avila lectured, "...History has been half-made. Now, the big question, will the…

The liberal Democrat became a…
Tangled Web: Claire Shipman, ABC Reporter/Wife to Top Obama Aide, Head
ABC's Claire Shipman isn't just another pro-Obama journalist. She's also married to Jay Carney, the President's press secretary.
