CBS Downplays Graphic Afghanistan Photos as a GOP 'Distraction,' ABC M

CBS's Bill Plante on Friday downplayed graphic photos of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan posing with severed body parts of suicide bombers as a GOP "distraction," insisting that Republicans were "somehow" trying to portray this (and other issues) as a failure of leadership. None of the networks wondered if this reflected poorly on Barack Obama. Since the Los Angeles Times first reported the…

ABC’s ‘GCB’ Carves Own Twisted Version of 10 Commandments

“If you want to live in this world, you’re going to need some rules to live by,” is the tagline sported underneath ABC’s twisted rendering of the 10 Commandments. Proving once again that “GCB” certainly doesn’t play by the rules or hold a shred of respect for believing Christians.

Senate Rejects 'Buffett Rule,' Despite Networks' Promotion of 'Tax Ref

The mainstream media rarely like the very rich, but billionaire Warren Buffett is the exception.

NBC Touted Romney's Dog on a Car Roof Story, But Only ABC Notes: Obama

Of the three major networks, only ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday covered the "dog wars" counterattack by Mitt Romney's operatives.

Diane Sawyer, Who Gushed Over Football and Singing With Obama, Grills

Paul Gigot Smacks Down Katrina Vanden Heuvel: 'You Got a Huge Expansio

There was a truly delicious moment on ABC's This Week Sunday that should be mandatory viewing for all liberal media members.

ABC's George Stephanopoulos: Is Obama 'Going to Have to Cut Ties' With

NBC and CBS's evening and morning shows on Thursday and Friday finally discovered the ugly comments made by a Democratic operative against Ann Romney.

Networks Obsessed with Labeling Romney Mormon

Matt Philbin
News flash: Mitt Romney is a Mormon! Actually, it’s not news. Romney was a Mormon as governor of Massachusetts and high-profile turn-around manager of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. Romney ran for the GOP nomination in 2008 and he was a Mormon then. He’s pretty much been running ever since. As a Mormon. But somehow, the networks can’t help reminding viewers at every turn that Romney is a…
