Media's Anti-Gun Narrative Destroyed By Justice Dept. Report

Between the years of 1993 and 2011, as the assault weapons ban expired, more Americans purchased guns, the Supreme Court overturned outright gun bans, and individual states not only loosed gun control restrictions but also issued concealed carry permits to private citizens, incidents of gun violence in America collapsed. 7 May 2013

Over the last eight days, the media have covered the story of Jason Collins, the NBA player who announced he was gay, a total of 2,381 times.

Christie To Co-Host Today Show

The move has the potential of further blurring the lines between politics and media by having an active, sitting governor, one running for re-election this year, as a host for a nationally broadcast news program. From Christie's perspective, the move is brilliant, as he continues to position himself as a non-partisan, non-ideological politician who could have broad appeal in a potential national race. 7 May 2013

Media Cover-Up: BuzzFeed Politics BenSmiths Libya

Thirty-something stories on the BuzzFeed Politics' front page and not a sound, word, or peep about Libya. Not a sound, word, or peep about the fact that three whistleblowers are scheduled to testify before Congress tomorrow with a number of damning allegations that could contradict the Narrative the White House spun in the weeks after the September 11 anniversary attack on our consulate in Libya. 7 May 2013

Media Cover-Up: Politico Buries Libya

Now, if Politico is all about commerce and clicks, you would think the left-wing outlet would produce or promote a few more Libya stories to satisfy its majority of consumers who are obviously interested in this story. 7 May 2013

New York Times Ignores Benghazi

In the past week the investigation into the September 11, 2012 attacks on the US Consulate in Benghazi has been the dominant news story on most media outlets including such traditional media venues as CBS News and The Washington Post.

Too Little, Too Late: Press Plays Catchup on Benghazi Scandal

Now, with all the responsible parties gone except for the president himself, it will make virtually no difference. That was a calculation those in the media recognized even at the time. They waited until Barack Obama won re-election. They waited until their favorite 2016 candidate, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was out of office. They waited until then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta was gone. They waited until Ambassador Susan Rice had been put aside for Senator John Kerry. 6 May 2013

Simon Wiesenthal Center Blasts Huffington Post for Anti-Israel Headline

On Sunday the Huffington Post ran a blaring headline at the top of its page blaming Israel, without context, for attacking Syria. The headline read: “ISRAEL STRIKES AGAIN.” A picture of Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, clapping and smirking, ran under the headline. Nothing on the front page stated that Israel was striking Syria in order to stop weapons flow from Iran to Lebanon, the war-torn country. 6 May 2013

Media Will Either Ignore or Destroy Benghazi Whistleblowers

With so much on the line, that only leaves the media two options when it comes to the upcoming testimony of the Benghazi whistleblowers. One option is to ignore and/or downplay the testimony. But if that is not possible, the only other option will be to personally destroy the whistleblowers in order to undermine their credibility. 6 May 2013

AP: 'Teen Immigrant Angst a Factor In Boston Bombings?'

After about a thousand words setting up the ridiculous theory that "Immigration Angst" might create terrorists, the punchline arrives to not-too-subtlety suggest that opposition to citizenship for illegals might be creating more of that terrorist-creating "Immigration Angst." 6 May 2013

No Mention of Islam in AP Profile of Disfranchised Pakistani Women

The Associated Press published an article Sunday about the men of the Pakistani village Mateela, who have kept women from voting for decades.

CNN's Howard Kurtz Hosts Show Trial Against Himself Over Collins Error

CNN Reliable Sources host Howard Kurtz, who this week parted ways with Tina Brown’s Daily Beast, featured a full-on show trial of himself. The journalistic mea culpa came after Kurtz made the mistake of writing a column about NBA player Jason Collins’ coming out that featured the cardinal error of stating that Collins had not been totally truthful about his long-time relationship with a woman. Collins had in fact mentioned in Sports Illustrated that he had been engaged to a woman. 5 May 2013

NYT Tries to Help Obama Walk Back 'Red Line'

The New York Times attempted to help President Barack Obama out of a national security mess of his own making Sunday, with an article claiming that his "red line" warning to Syria on chemical weapons last August was an "off-the-cuff" remark and not a serious policy position to which the White House clung for months. 5 May 2013

Number Six: NBC News Again Caught Selectively Editing Video

I had hoped this nonsense would end with the reign of Steve Capus, but once again we have NBC News forced to apologize for yet-another dishonest edit meant to push the left's agenda. This time it was MSNBC's Thomas Roberts who was caught using edited clips of a speech by Vice President Joe Biden about Benghazi to call for gun control. 4 May 2013

Washington Post Earnings Fall 85%, Circulation Drops 7.2%

Thanks to other businesses, including a number of television stations, The Washington Post Co. was able to make a slim profit in the first quarter of 2013, but earnings still fell 85% over last year. What dragged the company down as a whole was The Washington Post newspaper. 4 May 2013

Claim: Washington Post Push-Polling to Benefit Terry McAuliffe

In a fundraising email released Friday, Cuccinnelli campaign manager Dave Rexrode claims he received a call from Washington Post pollers Thursday night and that the poll questions were only interested in the perceived sins of his candidate, not the numerous failures and potential scandals McAuliffe's been involved in. 3 May 2013

NH Media Expose National Media's Dishonest Attacks Against Kelly Ayotte

If you are stupid enough to only get your news from the likes of NBC, The New York Times, or The Washington Post, you are under the completely false impression that Sen. Kelly Ayotte is in some kind of trouble in her home state. The New Hampshire Journal's Shawn Millerick completely dismantles that theory. 3 May 2013

O'Reilly Takes On Activist Pushing Court Martials For Proselytizing

Mikey Weinstein, Founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, has gone on record saying members of the military sharing their Christian faith are guilty of “treason,” and of committing an act of “spiritual rape” as serious a crime as “sexual assault.” As reported here at Breitbart News, Mr. Weinstein has been in consultation with the Pentagon as the Dept. of Defense refines its policy regarding service members "proselytizing." 3 May 2013

CNN Might Boot Howard Kurtz from 'Reliable Sources' This Weekend

More fallout for Howard Kurtz, the embattled media reporter unceremoniously dumped by the Daily Beast Thursday after publishing a column that falsely accused the NBA's Jason Collins of not disclosing the fact that he -- a gay man -- had once been engaged to a woman.

MSNBC Panel Attacks Pro-Gun Senator Because She's A Woman

According to "Morning Joe" panalist Donny Deutsch, Sen. Kelly Ayotte's (R-NH) opposition to gun control measures is worse than her colleagues' opposition because she's a woman. “Is it even more surprising to you when a woman goes against this?” Deutch asked the panel. "When you see a woman — maternal, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah — it almost takes it to another level.” 3 May 2013

Andrew Breitbart On Pigford: Never, Never, Never Give In

In my observation of Andrew Breitbart, it seemed there was just one story that he could just not let go: Pigford. Years after he initially ran the investigations and interviews surrounding the Pigford scandal Andrew would still mention that it was unfinished, that the work was still not done. If Andrew and I ever crossed paths in our travels, I would always wait for Pigford to come up. He never forgot it. 3 May 2013

Shapiro to Morgan: 'Why Do You Hate Americans So Much?'

On Thursday night, Breitbart News editor-at-large Ben Shapiro took on Piers Morgan regarding Shapiro’s tweets about Jason Collins, the first active NBA player to come out as gay. Shapiro tweeted last week, “So Jason Collins is a hero because he’s gay? Our standard for heroism has dropped quite a bit since Normandy.” Morgan read Shapiro’s tweet, then asked, “Why such a cheap shot against a guy who did a pretty great thing?” Shapiro denied that the tweet was a cheap shot, and defined heroism as “willingness to sacrifice – and willingness to take a real personal risk in favor of a noble, larger goal. This may be a noble, larger goal but I’m sure it’s a great personal risk.” Then Shapiro went on the offense: “Let me ask you something, Piers. Why do you hate Americans so much, that you think this is such a homophobic country, that when Jason Collins comes out it is the biggest deal in the history of humanity?" 2 May 2013

Piers Morgan Embraces UK-Style Gun Ban in US: 'Why Don't We Try It Our Way?'

In another explosive debate with Piers Morgan on Thursday night, Breitbart News editor-at-large Ben Shapiro accused Morgan of responsibility for Americans’ growing sense of threat from the federal government.

CBS News' Attkisson Describes Stonewalling From White House on Benghazi

"Where there's smoke, there's fire." That's the message CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson says she gets from the constant evasion, stonewalling and flat-out non-response from the Obama Administration and Sttate Department when she pursues questions about the September 11th attacks on the US consulate in Benghazi. 2 May 2013

Daily Beast Forced to Retract Howard Kurtz Column

After this glaring error was discovered, it immediately went viral on Twitter. Rather than retract, though, Kurtz reacted foolishly attempted to salvage the column (and his pride) with a quick edit and the watered down claim that Collins had "downplayed" this part of his life. But this claim was also false. 2 May 2013

Newspaper Circulation Drops 0.7% In Six Months

Even with some individual newspapers seeing gains through digital subscriptions, the overall picture for the newspaper business remains bleak, especially for some of the nation's largest newspapers.

Bozell: Why Don't Reporters Protest Warren Buffett Owning Newspapers?

"If you're going to say that a known conservative entity like the Koch brothers should not be getting into the business of dictating what a news operation should do, what does that tell you about Warren Buffett?" alluding to the multi-millionaire, Democratic Party supporter and activist who owns many newspaper companies. 1 May 2013

Hey Media Matters, Why Isn't NY Times Racist For Pigford Report?

It's been almost one week since the New York Times wrote an exhaustive 5,000 word, front page story on the racial discrimination class-action suit known as "Pigford" that cited reporting from Breitbart News. So far, Media Matters for America has yet to respond with charges of racism, smears and shoddy journalism the way they did whenever any other outlet dared report on the same story. 1 May 2013

Media Always Follow New York Times' Lead ... Unless It's Pigford

Had the rest of the media slavishly followed the Times' lead that day, questions might have been raised that would make Obama uncomfortable. And as we've seen with Libya and the failed economy, the media just cannot allow that to happen -- especially with respect to a scandal like Pigford. 1 May 2013

Pigford Shows Citizen Journalism is the New 'Shoe Leather' Reporting

After highlighting the Pigford scandal on their front page last week, the New York Times not only vindicated our friend and mentor Andrew Breitbart by bringing the story just some of the major attention it deserves, but also proved Andrew’s business model of “citizen journalism” is a force to be reckoned with, and that it is filling the void of the old-fashioned “shoe-leather” reporting that many journalists abandoned a long time ago. 1 May 2013

LA City Council Members: We'll Punish LA Times if Kochs Buy

In their tyrannical efforts to stop the Los Angeles Times from being sold to the conservative Koch brothers, members of the Los Angeles City Council have now announced that they want to cut pension investment in any firms that own the Times if the Times is sold to anyone who does not back “professional and objective journalism.” This is specifically aimed at the Koch brothers; the Los Angeles Times has been a leftist laughing-stock for years. 1 May 2013

Scarborough Turns to Nihilism; Weaponizes 'Morning Joe' to Destroy GOP Stars

Watching MSNBC's Joe Scarborough over these past few weeks has been an exercise in watching a desperately bitter man burn down his own principles as balm for his horribly misguided pride. What started out as a demagogic crusade from the former GOP congressman, has now turned into a reckless rampage to burn down two of the GOP's brightest stars, Sens. Kelly Ayotte and Ted Cruz. 1 May 2013
