Having reached her mid-seventies, Oscar-winner Jane Fonda is now in that phase of her career where she’s celebrated with all kinds of “achievement awards.” Last night at the L.A. Press Club gala honoring her, Fonda revealed that her biggest regret
In a piece of obvious stunt-casting, Oscar-nominated director Lee Daniels chose Jane Fonda to portray Nancy Reagan in his new film “The Butler” — the story of a black man who served eight American presidents during his long White House career. Naturally, because this is
We lost by somewhere around 400,000 votes in four swing states, and suddenly the sky-is-falling in on the GOP? Well, no, actually it’s not. There’s no question we can do many things better, and must. But when you lose to
After yesterday’s closed-door testimony of David Petraeus on the Hill, we now know for a fact that for two weeks the Obama Administration repeatedly and relentlessly lied to the American people about what they knew was the truth behind the
In yet another Daily Beast column that trains her fire on the Right, Meghan McCain hits Republicans with yet another set of MSNBC talking points that she swears are only for our own good. But this time she’s making threats:
On the editorial page of The New York Times, Andrew Rosenthal rips Republicans for raising questions and demanding answers about Libya: Something obviously went wrong in Benghazi. An Ambassador died. It’s necessary and appropriate to discuss what happened so as
ADDED: John Bolton said that General Petraeus’ testimony this morning ‘put this dead cat right on the White House’s door step[.]” The media doesn’t seem at all that eager to start connecting the dots coming out of the unfolding Libya
As though it was a natural part of his name, CNN’s Carol Costello just referred to former-CIA Chief David Petraeus as “disgraced David Petraeus.” No one’s excusing the fact that Petraeus betrayed his wife, but isn’t that a little harsh?
Republican Congressman Peter King just exited the closed-door hearing with David Petraeus to update the media, and his description of the ex-CIA Chief’s testimony contained more than one bombshell. For starters, King said Petraeus told them that the CIA talking
In its report on David Petraeus’s closed door testimony on the Hill today, CNN writes: [emphasis added] The former CIA director also is expected to tell the congressional committees that he did develop unclassified talking points in the days after
Just a few minutes ago on CNN, Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr reported that a high-placed source informed her that former CIA Chief David Petraeus will use his upcoming testimony to amend his previous testimony. According to this source, Petraeus will
Dana Bash, Matt Lauer, Soledad O’Brien, Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Politico Chuck Todd, Dave Weigel, The New York Times… This is just a short list of mainstream media members who apparently don’t want the truth to come out about Libya.
Apparently, Democrats are so perfect, Republican Joe Scarborough once again has all kinds of time to rip into Mitt Romney. Today, on the pages of The Enemy, Morning Joe gives more aid and comfort to the media by ripping into
Karl Rove autopsies the 2012 election loss in a Wall Street Journal column today. It’s well worth a read, but this is the part I found most interesting: The GOP must reduce the destructiveness of the presidential primaries. In the
As the media goes apoplectic over Mitt Romney’s “outrageously racist and insensitive” belief that — gasp — Obama might’ve looted the Treasury to purchase the coalition that helped win him a second term, Ron Meyer at CNS News actually did
Below is an excerpt from ABC News Senior White House correspondent Jake Tapper’s just-released, “The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor,” one of those harrowing, inspiring war stories so fantastic, it can only be true. Early one morning in October of
According to Chuck Todd on today’s MSNBC “Daily Rundown,” the Libya issue is pretty much settled, Susan Rice did nothing wrong, and John McCain’s hunt for the truth is what Todd describes in his chyron as a “Rivalry Revisited.” Todd’s
Now that Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham are very publicly ramping up their push to get to the bottom of what happened in Libya, Obama’s media guardians are trying to undermine McCain’s investigation by portrating it as motivated by
In the wake of a brutal election loss, some of us are disappointed and want to lodge a protest — I’m not unsympathetic to that, I get it, I really do. I got it in 2000 and in 2004 when
You would think that after eight months, the media would be loaded for bear when the opportunity finally arose to ask President Obama serious questions about something other than a campaign — especially in the wake of Libya, an anemic
Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain just held a joint press conference meant to make sure the Obama Administration’s appallingly incompetent, fatal, and dishonest handling of Libya isn’t lost in all the chaff the media’s throwing around the Petraeus sex
Like the rest of the left-wing media, BuzzFeed Politics is feeling emboldened by their electoral victory last Tuesday night. Now the push is on to pretend Global Warming actually exists and must be dealt with and you just know we’re not going
Always ones to try and set The Narrarive, today Politico leads with a story laughably titled, “Hard questions await Obama at news conference.” And just to be extra helpful, Politico includes questions it thinks should predicts will be asked. Hang on,
What exactly is Howard Kurtz’s job? At his blog, Kurtz is described as the guy who “virtually created the media-criticism racket,” and every Sunday on CNN he hosts a roundtable of guests who are presumably there to criticize the media,. But
You would think an organization like NBC/Universal, which has a fairly large news organization, would release news when news is available. According to Paul Bond at the Hollywood Reporter, though, 500 layoffs that had been in works for months, were
