Earlier this week, NPR lied to its listeners, telling them that “[George] Zimmerman pursued [Trayvon] Martin after police, responding to Zimmerman’s 911 call, told him not to.” Today, it repeated the lie at the top of its hourly news broadcast. The
In the midst of ongoing rocket terror attacks against Israel from Gaza and even Egypt, as civil war rages in Syria, and as the threat from Iran approaches the point of no return, 74 Democrats in the House of Representatives
By op-ed columnist Nick Kristof’s own standards, he and the New York Times are earning money, indirectly, from child sex trafficking. Late last month, Kristof targeted Goldman Sachs with farcical allegations of supporting child sex trafficking via its minority stake in
National Public Radio is attempting to turn the horrific Tulsa shootings into a story of systemic racism and collective guilt–and citing opposition to President Barack Obama as evidence of racial prejudice in Oklahoma. On today’s Morning Edition, host Steve Inskeep

I spent nearly seven years in South Africa, most of it as the speechwriter for South African opposition leader Tony Leon (who now serves as that country’s ambassador to Argentina). It was an exciting job, one that allowed me a
Talk about a “War on Women”: this past week, the White House welcomed members of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, the radical Islamist organization whose Freedom and Justice Party won the largest number of seats in that country’s parliamentary elections and which
In continuing his attack on the Supreme Court on Tuesday, President Barack Obama made a mistaken reference to the Lochner decision–an error that suggests just how deeply Derrick Bell affected his thinking about the Court and the Constitution. James Taranto
Much of the left seems inclined to shrug at President Barack Obama’s pre-emptive rebuke of the Supreme Court yesterday. One Democrat even urged Obama to attack the Court on the campaign trail if it overturned Obamacare. A few liberals, however,
In previewing tomorrow’s morning-show matchup, Politico’s Dylan Byers and Mackenzie Weinger report that Gov. Sarah Palin told CBS’ Katie Couric in 2008: “I can see Russia from my house.” (Screen grab above, quote below.) The 2008 [Couric] interview also saw
As it did with the Occupy Wall Street movement, Media Matters for America is throwing its support behind another ill-conceived and ill-fated radical movement: namely, the attempt to politicize the death of victim Trayvon Martin. Media Matters has amplified left-wing

President Barack Obama has run out of excuses for his anti-Israel policy. He has long boasted of “unprecedented” security cooperation with Israel on his watch (largely the result of policies enacted before he arrived at the White House). Yet his
A small group of radical anti-Israel rabbis, made famous for their alliance with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has been attacked by Arabs during a regional anti-Israel protest, the Times of Israel reports. The fringe group, known as Neturei Karta (Keepers
NPR’s On the Media today featured a conversation between host Brooke Gladstone and Politico’s Josh Gerstein about “how challenging Obamacare on constitutional grounds went from a zany fringe idea to a mainstream conversation.” Likewise, all week long, liberal media commentators have
On Thursday, March 29, on Ed Schultz’s left-wing radio show, Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) referred to the killing of Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26 as a “modern-day lynching.” The host, apparently, did not correct her. Schakowsky evidently doesn’t know much about
