David Gregory Paid $4 Million to Leave NBC News ... Quietly

August 18th, 2014 7:54 PM
“Don't go away mad,” an old saying goes, “just go away.” That seems to be the case with David Gregory, who is receiving a grand total of $4 million to end his six-year tenure as host of the NBC News Meet the Press program. Part of the 43-year-old anchor's contract is a “nondisparagement clause,” which specifies that he is not to speak out against the network, according to an article written…

MRC Study: After Hyping Christie’s ‘Bridgegate,’ CNN Buries Andr

August 15th, 2014 9:47 AM
It has been over three weeks since The New York Times published a front-page investigation unmasking the actions of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) shuttering an anti-corruption commission. In reaction, the U.S. Attorney has now begun investigating Cuomo’s administration for possible “witness tampering and obstruction of justice,” according to The New York Post. Despite these serious…

Hillary's 'Hard Choices' Plunges Below Amazon Top 100 Less Than Month

July 9th, 2014 10:23 AM
Less than a month after its official release date of June 10, Hillary Clinton's book, "Hard Choices," has today plunged below the Amazon Top 100 list to a humbling #102 as of this writing. Over at Simon & Schuster, the book publisher who paid Hillary a big campaign contribution in the form of a whopping $14 million advance, there is now a lot of angry finger pointing according to the New…

HuffPo's Stein Asks If EPA's Claimed Hard Drive Crash 'Gives Credence

June 25th, 2014 11:35 PM
Wednesday afternoon, Huffington Post's Sam Stein, whose track record of fundamentally dishonest reporting and refusing to admit the obvious even when caught red-handed goes back at least six years, used a tweet to promote an excuse even a six year-old wouldn't dare try to use on his or her parents. Behold Stein's tweet, which, modified to defend the indefensible in the Obama administration,…

Joe Scarborough on Media Censoring IRS Scandal: ‘This Is Why Conserv

June 24th, 2014 11:38 AM
On Tuesday's Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough went unhinged on the mainstream media's lack of coverage of the IRS scandal. Scarborough held up The New York Times and berated news organizations on pulling a “scam” on the American people by not covering “the most shady behavior” of the IRS. “This is why conservatives don’t trust the national newspapers,” Scarborough exclaimed. “It’s not the…

Escalation: After Cuomo's 'No Place in New York' Remarks, His Counsel

January 22nd, 2014 8:54 AM
On Friday, as I noted on Saturday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told public radio's Susan Arbetter that "extreme conservatives" – that is, people who are pro-life, understand the clear meaning of the Second Amendment, or wish to keep marriage as it has traditionally been defined – "have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are." Note well that Cuomo's remarks…

Cuomo Hits Back at NY Post, Pretends He Was Only Criticizing Legislato

January 20th, 2014 7:48 PM
The administration of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo tried to hit back at the press on Sunday for supposedly misunderstanding his Friday morning statement to Susan Arbetter on the public radio show "Capitol Pressroom" that "extreme conservatives ... have no place in New York." As I noted on Saturday (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), the Governor made it clear that "extreme conservatives" include…

Bozell Column: Evil Irish Nun Movies for Christmas

December 14th, 2013 8:53 AM
The man whose last controversial movie was "Bully" certainly knows how to behave like one.  Just ask New York Post film critic Kyle Smith, who dared to give a thumbs-down to Hollywood bigwig Harvey Weinstein's latest anti-Catholic attack film, "Philomena," carefully timed for release during the Christmas season. Weinstein took out an full-page color attack ad in The New York Times singling…

'90 Minutes of Organized Hate': NY Post Blasts Anti-Catholic Film; No

November 24th, 2013 5:14 PM
Kudos to New York Post film critic Kyle Smith for knowing a bigoted attack when he sees one. Philomena is a dreary new movie starring Judi Dench as an elderly Irish woman who as an unwed teen gave birth to a son in 1950s Ireland. Under the care of Catholic nuns, the young boy was adopted by Americans. Many decades later, the woman now embarks on a trip to the States with a dour and depressing…

AP's Hananel Grudgingly But Cryptically Notes House Investigation of A

November 20th, 2013 12:39 PM
In a mild surprise, the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, hasn't totally ignored John Crudele's Monday evening blockbuster story at the New York Post about how fabricated Census Bureau information fed a pretty clearly cooked September 2012 Employment Situation report. But the wire service's Sam Hananel ruined the surprise by spending five terse paragraphs making sure that…

Reporter Challenges Alec Baldwin to Boxing Match for GLAAD: 'Let’s S

November 16th, 2013 12:15 PM
Alec Baldwin picked the wrong reporter to mess with. After an altercation with the actor Friday, the New York Post's Kevin Fasick - a former professional boxer - officially challenged Baldwin to a boxing match with proceeds going to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation:

90% of Top Newspaper Headlines Censor Islam in Nairobi, Pakistan Attac

September 23rd, 2013 1:03 PM
Dare a top newspaper journalist to play connect-the-dots and chances are he’ll fail miserably – at least with drawing the line between Islam and terrorism. In Nairobi, Kenya last weekend, Islamist militants took over a high-end shopping mall and began executing non-Muslims. In Pakistan, Islamist suicide bombers detonated at a Christian Church on Sunday.  Yet on Monday, September 23, 90…

NY Post Quizzes: Why Are the Washington Post, NYT Ignoring Mark Levin

September 3rd, 2013 6:03 PM
The New York Post on Saturday decried a typical example of liberal media bias: Despite the fact that Mark Levin's New book The Liberty Amendments is number one on all three related New York Times bestseller lists, that newspaper, as well as the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, among others, has ignored it. The New York Post's Kyle Smith wondered, "So, who is this man of mystery…

New York Post Writer: Football Is Safer Than Many Other Youth Activiti

August 18th, 2013 6:18 PM
Although football has probably never been more popular or prosperous, there are threats to the sport which could radically alter how it is played in the short-term, and perhaps, based on reports of reduced youth participation in the game and attempts to ban young people from playing it, its very existence in the long-term. At the New York Post, writer Daniel Flynn, the author of "War on…
