March 9th, 2015 10:34 PM
After former President George W. Bush failed to make the cut in the New York Times' photo collection of the march commemorating Selma, the Times on Monday showed its idea of political balance. It led the paper with yet another hammering of an incompetent, ultraconservative Republican Congress, while another front-page report critical of Hillary Clinton was hidden under a mild headline and…

NYT Panders Over 'Vital' Nancy Pelosi, Victim of Personal GOP Attacks

March 7th, 2015 8:42 PM
A gushing profile of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi in Saturday's New York Times captured reporter Jennifer Steinhauer's typical Democratic slant: "Through It All, Pelosi Keeps House Democrats Moving In One Direction."

February 22nd, 2015 7:24 AM
On Saturday, The Washington Post published what can only be read as a Nancy Pelosi press release on the back page of the front section.

There was nothing resembling a critic of Obama, Pelosi, or the Castros.

Reporters Mock Walker Punting Science Questions, But Not Nancy Pelosi

February 15th, 2015 8:25 AM
T. Becket Adams at The Washington Examiner drew up a list of people shocked, shocked, that Scott Walker punted on a “gotcha” evolution question at a London Q&A. Adams noted that these same liberal journalists don’t blink when liberal politicians punt on gotcha abortion questions.

The Wednesday editions of NBC Nightly News and ABC's World News Tonight both spotlighted many Democratic lawmakers' objections to portions of a proposed budget compromise in Congress.

AP's Elliott Tries to Separate Gruber From Obamacare 'Architect' Role

November 17th, 2014 11:42 PM
The Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press — the entity which to our great misfortune is considered the de facto news source of record by the nation's establishment press — finally broke down several days ago and mentioned the name "Jonathan Gruber" in a news story. Of course, the wire service saved Philip Elliott's story for Friday afternoon to minimize its visibility; the time stamp…

WaPo Writer Fails to Fact Check Nancy Pelosi's Jonathan Gruber Denial

November 13th, 2014 2:22 PM
Nancy Pelosi denied knowing who Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber is. Unfortunately for Pelosi, her official website was chock full of Gruber references in 2009. This fact could have been easily discovered by Washington Post writer Sean Sullivan whose story headlined Pelosi's denial of knowing Gruber. For some reason he chose not to fact check this blatant falsehood perpetrated by Pelosi.

Pelosi, Salon Writer Agree: 'Voter Suppression' Explains Dems' Debacle

November 8th, 2014 11:11 PM
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Aaron R. Hanlon, an infrequent columnnist at Salon, both have an excuse for Democrats' poor performance in this year's midterm elections: pervasive voter suppression. You see, the left's new working definition of "voter suppression" — a definition which is never a subject of establishment press scrutiny — is apparently the following: "Many of the people who…

Stephen Colbert Gives Nancy Pelosi Platform to Pitch 'Middle Class Jum

July 22nd, 2014 5:30 PM
Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert did Nancy Pelosi a solid by giving her a platform to promote her effort to energize Democrats to come out in force this November to return the Speaker’s gavel to her grasp.

MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' Fawns Over Nancy Pelosi

July 22nd, 2014 3:25 PM
The July 22 edition of Morning Joe boasted an exclusive interview with Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). But before Pelosi came on set, MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts featured his own slobbering interview with the politician in their shared hometown of Baltimore.

Megyn Kelly Eviscerates Jon Stewart, Leftist Ideologues on Abortifacie

July 17th, 2014 2:32 PM
Fox News's Megyn Kelly has clearly had it up to here with the disinformation, misinformation, distortions and outright lies coming from the left in the wake of the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision. A recent dishonest rant by Comedy Central's Jon Stewart (noted at NewsBusters by Jeffrey Meyer early Tuesday morning) and attempts by certain doctors to deny scientific truth caused Kelly to…
