Has the NY Times Made Steinem's 1998 Defense of Clinton Disappear?
December 26th, 2017 1:50 PM
The Associated Press's failure to report Gloria Steinem’s early-December howler about how Donald Trump supposedly "lost" the 2016 presidential election "by 10 million votes" which I noted in a December 10 NewsBusters post is consistent with the press’s history of preventing leftists' most provocative and controversial statements from becoming widely known. The press considers Steinem a feminist “…
NYT Hails Hill as H'wood Savior, Ignores Dismissal of Clinton Accusers
December 21st, 2017 5:44 PM
Anita Hill to Hollywood’s rescue? That was the theme on the front of Thursday’s Arts page. Cara Buckley’s Hollywood column hailed Clarence Thomas’s accuser as a movie-industry savior in “Can She Fix The Sexual Misconduct Problem?” Meanwhile, Buckley conveniently ignores the fact that the public backed Thomas’s interpretation of events, not Hill’s, and that Hill lost her passion for sexual…
NYT 'News'? ‘Senator’s Star Shines as Nation Unites Behind Her Cause'
December 18th, 2017 3:19 PM
The New York Times penned an earnest hymn to the Democrats’ latest feminist presidential hope, the newly “progressive” heroine Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York. Shane Goldmacher, recently of Politico, and Matt Flegenheimer, a familiar byline at NewsBusters, launched Gillibrand’s potential 2020 campaign (joining previous Times feminist presidential hopefuls, Sen. Kamala Harris and…

December 16th, 2017 8:07 PM
Appearing as a guest on Saturday's MSNBC Live, frequent Republican guest and MSNBC contributor Michael Steele was critical of Republicans pushing to cut taxes and blamed GOP tax cuts for making Democrats "have to raise" taxes later. He also declared that, while congressional Republicans present the tax cut plan as a "Christmas present," it actually amounts to "coal." Host Alex Witt was also…
Lefty Media Outlets Assail Trump for Harassment, Excuse Lib Offenders
December 16th, 2017 4:00 PM
What is the matter with these people? This has been discussed elsewhere, but with more of the same nonsense since the subject of one of the latest presidential tweets will not go away, let’s continue. Here is the now-famous tweet. (Actually, there are now a ton and a half of famous Trump tweets but this is one of the latest:

December 12th, 2017 7:17 PM
After a ceremony on Tuesday, December 12, in which President Donalt Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act into law, CNN senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta rejected a request by Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders not to ask Trump a question at the event.
Press Ignores Steinem's Howler: Trump 'Lost by 10 Million Votes'
December 10th, 2017 4:56 PM
At the Massachusetts Conference for Women on Wednesday, so-called "feminist icon" and late-1990s Bill Clinton apologist and enabler Gloria Steinem made a big deal out the fact that she never has and never will call Donald Trump "president" — to her, he's the "harasser in chief" — while claiming that Trump "lost" last year's general election by "10 million votes." The vast majority of the…

'AP Explains' on Jerusalem Omits Prior Promises, Resolution, 1995 Law
December 9th, 2017 4:24 PM
A Friday morning attempt by the Associated Press's Tia Goldenberg to "explain" the "US pivot on Jerusalem" failed to make three crucial points: First, that three ultimately victorious U.S. presidential candidates promised that they would formally recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and failed to deliver on those promises; second, that just six months ago, the United States Senate…

MSNBC's Matthews: 'New Republican Age of Consent Is 14' If Moore Wins
December 7th, 2017 10:18 PM
Over time, one learns that you can always count on MSNBC’s Hardball to produce baffling moments. Thursday was no exception as the show featured USA Today’s Susan Page bemoaning the “sad picture” of “effective” Democratic Senator Al Franken (Minn.) resigning from Congress while host Chris Matthews sneered that “[t]he new Republican age of consent is 14 if” Roy Moore “wins” in Alabama.
Politico Plugs Any Clinton to Run for Senate from Arkansas
December 3rd, 2017 1:05 PM
Mark down this date: December 3, 2017. Why? Because of all the ridiculous stories ever published in Politico, the one written by Bill Scher on that date could well rate as the most absurd of all. Scher proposes that if the U.S. Senate seat from Arkansas is open in 2018 due to Tom Cotton leaving the Senate that either Hillary, Bill, or Chelsea Clinton should run for that seat. Adding to the…

Fresh Air? NPR Show Obsesses Over Anita Hill, Elides Media Harassers
December 1st, 2017 12:01 PM
In the midst of all the sexual harassment shockers emerging from the media, Hollywood, and politics, the Left is still hailing Anita Hill as the patron saint of sexual harassment. An especially egregious case unfolded on Thursday afternoon, as the NPR show Fresh Air with Terry Gross spent a half-hour re-litigating Clarence Thomas as a harasser with his old journalistic nemesis Jane Mayer (now…
Clinton: We Need to ‘Empower’ Women Who Share Sexual Assault Stories
November 28th, 2017 3:08 PM
In an interview with The Washington Post Tuesday, Hillary Clinton basically admitted she holds a double standard on when to believe women’s stories of sexual assault. In the most recent episode of The Post’s podcast, “Cape Up” host Jonathan Capehart sat down with Clinton to discuss her book and all of the accusations against those in the media, entertainment and politics that have been…
Better Late Than Never: Really?
November 28th, 2017 1:25 PM
The English poet of the Middle Ages, Geoffrey Chaucer, is generally credited with coining the phrase that has been updated in modern English to read, "better late than never." It means to do something or to arrive later than expected may not be good, but it is better than not at all. That may not be true in the case of former President Bill Clinton's enablers and apologists for his sexual…

Advisor for Clinton Defender MoveOn.org Calls Trump 'Sexual Predator'
November 27th, 2017 2:18 PM
On Sunday's AM Joy, there was another case of liberal projection as MoveOn.org senior advisor and frequent MSNBC guest Karine Jean-Pierre complained that "We have a sexual predator as the President of the United States who lies constantly." This in spite of the fact that the group she works for was founded in 1998 primarily for the purpose of defending President Bill Clinton from impeachment…
