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. by Larry O'Connor 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.

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. by John Nolte 7 May 2013

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. by Ben Shapiro 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.

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

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.

MSNBC Panel Attacks Pro-Gun Senator Because She's A Woman According to "Morning Joe" panalist Donny Deutsch, Sen.

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. by Meredith Dake 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?" by Breitbart News 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. by John Nolte 2 May 2013

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.

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.

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. by Rebel Pundit 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. by John Nolte 1 May 2013

Chicago Tribune Writer: Bears Player Must 'Explain' Position on Jason Collins One wonders why the Chicago Tribune's Steve Rosenbloom is so subtle, when we all know what he really means: "It is time for the villagers to come together, capture Briggs, tie him to a chair, and dunk the suspect in water. If he floats, he is guilty; if he drowns, he is innocent." by John Nolte 1 May 2013
