Marketplace, the daily business program produced by American Public Media (APM) and broadcast by public radio stations throughout the country, has been doing its best lately to support the decrepit Occupy Wall Street movement. While odd, perhaps, for a program
Media Matters for America (MMfA) sent an email yesterday, likely in error, to the office of Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK)–hardly a regular recipient of MMfA spam–attempting to coordinate Democratic opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline that was recently blocked by
Give Ryan Grim of the Huffington Post credit: it takes courage to change one’s mind, and to admit an earlier mistake. Grim has written that he was wrong to dismiss a November 2011 report by 60 Minutes (based on Breitbart
U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul neatly summarized everything that is wrong with President Barack Obama’s foreign policy in an interview yesterday with National Public Radio (emphasis added): [youtube iwozzvwW870] There is no single path to democracy. And every society
This morning, Rep. Jan Schakowsky appeared on the Don Wade and Roma show on WLS-AM Chicago to comment on President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address. Schakowsky praised the president’s green energy initiatives, claiming that the (recalled) Chevy Volt
The mainstream media pontificators bloviating over President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech last night failed to notice what should have been evident to anyone who had spent any time reviewing his past addresses to Congress: Obama plagiarized himself.
Today, on Fox News Channel’s The Five, liberal panelist Bob Beckel praised President Barack Obama’s efforts at job creation: “One good sign of the economy is there are more manufacturing jobs created in the last two years than the last
Tonight, President Barack Obama will deliver his third State of the Union Address–and his sixth address to a joint session of Congress. That’s more than either President Bush or President Clinton had addressed in any single term. Despite his purported
Sarah Silverman, who helped Barack Obama campaign for the Jewish vote in 2008, has changed her Twitter location to “Palestinian territories,” in a possible attempt to reach out across the Jewish-Arab divide–or, just as likely, in an effort to tweak
Media Matters for America (MMfA) must be really afraid of Andrew Breitbart. Once again, he’s their number one target for elimination from mainstream media appearances–even ahead of conservative media luminary Rush Limbaugh, whom MMfA hates with a passion. The above
As President Barack Obama prepares for his State of the Union address in Congress, where he will no doubt claim credit for signs of economic recovery, new analyses by economists suggest that growth will slow and unemployment will remain virtually
If it is so difficult to explain, it probably isn’t true. Barack Obama’s re-election campaign has produced a video over seven minutes long featuring praise for the president from Israeli leaders. The intent is to convince pro-Israel voters, and Jews
Newt Gingrich’s prize for upsetting Mitt Romney’s march to victory in the Republican nomination contest is to earn the “racist” label from the mainstream media. No doubt journalists have scores to settle–but there is also no clearer sign that Newt
Republican voters don’t just want a nominee who can fight Barack Obama. They also want a fight, period. That’s the lesson of Newt Gingrich’s stunning victory in South Carolina, which seemed improbable just a few days ago. The Gingrich campaign
For the Obama administration, negotiation remains the eternal solution in search of a problem. It is desperate to negotiate with the Taliban, for example–a fruitless effort, Con Coughlin notes, since “Mr. Obama has already run up the white flag in
Eric Boehlert of Media Matters for America was so enthusiastic about new accusations of infidelity by Newt Gingrich’s ex-wife that he boasted on Twitter: “noted: it’s been 16 yrs since Dems had to defend a WH candidate’s marraige/sex [sic] life.
CNN Breaking News reported Newt Gingrich’s denial, during the CNN Republican presidential debate in South Carolina, of an alleged personal scandal–while repeating the original accusation: What CNN failed to report (Update: until later, at least) was Gingrich’s absolute destruction–historic, on
Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), who infamously argued for the death of the private insurance industry, and whose husband drafted the political blueprint for Obamacare from federal prison, told Democrats at a rally today that they had to re-elect President Barack
Ahead of the opening of Congress and the renewed debt ceiling controversy, National Public Radio is attempting to frame the debate against Republicans by pushing hard on the issue of tax increases. On today’s Morning Edition, NPR used reports from
The Washington Post has just published an article reporting that the Center for American Progress, the left-wing think tank whose policies and personnel have close ties to the Obama White House, has been “accused of anti-Semitic language.” The Center for
The Jewish Week reports that a speech last week by Stuart Appelbaum, president of the left-wing Jewish Labor Committee, prompted Israel’s deputy consul general to walk out of its gala dinner after Appelbaum criticized Israel in blunt, undiplomatic terms. Though
Buzzfeed has published a massive opposition research document on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney that was allegedly compiled by his rival in the 2008 presidential primary, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). Among other claims, the document contends–citing Forbes–that “Bain & Company
The mainstream media’s glee in reporting that public sector unions have likely succeeded in drumming up enough signatures to force Wisconsin governor Scott Walker to face a recall election betrays their thinly-veiled sympathies for the effort. The day began with
Eric Boehlert, serial propagandist and Senior Fellow at Media Matters for America, joined the Stephanie Miller show this morning to fling some more dirt at Big Journalism editor-in-chief Dana Loesch. Boehlert, who has thus far given a pass to men
