Vintage Ed Schultz Whine: Why Isn't Weiner Paying 'Restitution' Like I
June 9th, 2011 7:31 PM
Oh the unfairness of it all, it's more than Ed Schultz can bear.
Bad enough that embattled Democratic congressman and former habitual tweeter Anthony Weiner hasn't resigned from Congress as Schultz demands. Even worse, at least from Schultz's parochial perspective, the Weiner scandal hasn't cost its namesake a dime while Schultz paid dearly for maligning Laura Ingraham as a "right-wing slut…

Toxic Radio Host Mike Malloy Haunted by Fear of Families Having Fun at
June 8th, 2011 7:05 PM
Not surprising, considering this is the same fringe radical who wished Navy SEALS shot George W. Bush and not Osama bin Laden.
After the Orlando city council passed an ordinance that places restrictions on the group Food Not Bombs from feeding the homeless, followed by a legal battle between the city and group, radio host Mike Malloy did what left-wing logic dictates -- he bashed Christians…
NPR: 'Hard for Democrats' to Call for Resignation of 'Bulldog' Weiner
June 8th, 2011 6:43 PM
NPR's Renee Montagne touted the Rep. Anthony Weiner sex scandal as a "dilemma" for Democrats on Wednesday's Morning Edition. Correspondent Andrea Seabrook also underlined how it was apparently "hard for Democrats to call for his resignation" because the New York politician is a "bulldog" for their issues.
Montagne used her label during an introduction for Seabrook's report, which put the…

Ditsy Radio Host Randi Rhodes Confuses Palin's Support for Israel With
June 6th, 2011 8:33 PM
Bush Derangement Syndrome never really went away. Nowadays it's directed at Sarah Palin instead.
A good example of Palin's uncanny ability to unhinge liberals could be heard on a recent Randi Rhodes' radio show.
Rhodes, who infamously derided Hillary Clinton as a "big f***ing whore" during the 2008 campaign, was angered by Palin wearing a Star of David pendant during a stopover in New…

NPR Wholeheartedly Endorses Women Freezing Eggs; Fails to Disclose Ris
June 1st, 2011 9:32 AM
On Tuesday's Morning Edition, NPR's Jennifer Ludden all but acted as an proponent of egg donation and freezing to preserve women's fertility, but failed to acknowledge the dangers associated with the donation process, ranging from negative psychological effects to kidney failure and death. Ludden barely touched on other risks to the procedures, such as using them to permit women over 50 become…

Los Angeles Radio Host Uses Witch-Hunt Logic to Defend Ed Schultz's Sm
May 30th, 2011 12:45 PM
How about that, he's a lawyer to boot.
Angered by Ed Schultz's quick apology and suspension from MSNBC for maligning Laura Ingraham as a "right-wing slut" and 'talk slut," Los Angelese-based radio host Bill Handel has come up with a decidedly peculiar response to the controversy.
Is there "any proof that she's not" a slut, Handel asked on his KFI AM radio show.
It was such a warped take…

Ed Schultz's Genuine Contrition on MSNBC Preceded by Churlish Non-Apol
May 27th, 2011 8:37 PM
It's not often Ed Schultz earns my respect, but he did with his apology to Laura Ingraham on his MSNBC show Wednesday night, right before starting a week-long suspension.
Based on what Schultz said earlier that day on his radio show about maligning Ingraham on the program only 24 hours earlier as a "right-wing slut" and "talk slut," Schultz's mea culpa Wednesday evening was fully unexpected…

Media Mash: Ed Schultz 'Slut' Comment Edition
May 27th, 2011 10:39 AM
Liberal radio host Ed Schultz's May 23rd attack on conservative talker Laura Ingraham as a "slut" was "reprehensible" and "could not have been more vile," NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told viewers of the May 26 "Hannity."
That said, Bozell added, he should be commended for owning up to his transgression and offering a "man's apology" Wednesday night on his MSNBC "Ed Show" program.

NewsBusters Publisher Brent Bozell Reacts to Ed Schultz's Apology to L
May 26th, 2011 10:42 AM
Ed Schultz's apology was full, unequivocal and a breath a fresh air.
We wish Ed would have shown the same remorse when saying we should ‘rip out’ Dick Cheney’s heart, when he called Liz Cheney "shooter's little girl,” or when he said Republicans enjoyed watching people with cancer die.

NPR Executives Don't Care If Accepting George Soros Money Deepens Thei
May 25th, 2011 3:02 PM
As her term wraps up, NPR ombudsman Alicia Shepard explored the controversial $1.8 million donation from leftist hedge-fund manager George Soros and his Open Society Institute, and how NPR tried to talk its way out of the idea that it was a liberal media outlet taking money from a major liberal agitator of means. Shepard reported executives there determined “it would be wrong to turn down money…

Will MSNBC Suspend Ed Schultz for Calling Laura Ingraham a 'Right-wing
May 25th, 2011 12:40 PM
MSNBC anchor David Shuster was suspended in 2008 for suggesting Hillary Clinton had "pimped out" her daughter Chelsea on the air. So how will MSNBC handle their host calling Laura Ingraham a "right-wing slut" and a "talk slut"?

May 24th, 2011 8:03 PM
On Tuesday's Morning Edition, NPR's Renee Montagne and Scott Horsley spotlighted the "warm welcome" President Obama received during his recent visit to Ireland. Horsley marveled at the "large crowds lining the street to welcome him," as well as the "enthusiasm with which they greeted the American president. This is something we really haven't seen in the U.S. for a couple of years."
Montagne…
