With all eyes on the Wisconsin recall election, most of the attention and resources have gone towards the main event: Republican Governor Scott Walker’s bid to fight off challenger Tom Barrett. Between the polls and the pulling back of last
The anointed and increasingly embattled Elizabeth Warren is no longer looking all that anointed in her bid to take on Republican U.S. Senator Scott Brown for his Massachusetts seat. Today, the Boston Herald’s reporting that there’s a very real possibility
With five major flops/disappointments in a row, the once on-fire banner box office year has cooled considerably. According to Box Office Mojo, the disappointing returns on “Men In Black 3,” combined with the tepid takes from recently released disappointments such as “Dark
After a fairly quiet Memorial Day weekend, the media obviously took a little time last night to get its Journolisting message together for this morning so it would be ready when America emerged on Tuesday. The New York Times, which

Unless otherwise noted, these are reviews of Blu-ray copies and it goes without saying that Blu-ray picture and sound is a stunning improvement over standard DVD. In no particular order and with links to Amazon…. The Grey (Two-Disc Combo
After getting caught with its pants down with a wholly dishonest fact-check backing up and attempting to legitimize the absurd claim that Obama is some sort of thrifty spender of historic proportions, Politifact’s public humiliation is now complete. Though the Associated Press
There is no question “American Idol” is a cash cow for Hollywood’s Top 1% — the producers and the network who are making gajillions off the show, the CDs, and the merchandising. Not to mention “Idol” host Ryan Seacrest and the
The evolution of CNN’s ongoing collapse can be found here, here, and here. Even during an election year, the “most trusted name in news” is imploding and as I’ve mentioned numerous times before, the reason for this is obvious. CNN
Buried deep in yesterday’s Washington Post article about presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney being heckled during a visit to an inner-city school in Philadelphia, is the extraordinary news that a portion of those hecklers were organized by the Obama campaign: Outside,

If Rex Nutting wants to embarrass himself shilling for the White House with the absurd claim “Obama’s spending binge never happened,” that’s a problem between him and Market Watch. It becomes a very serious problem, though, when left-wing mainstream media enablers like
While most of the attention surrounding the June 5 recall election in my beloved home state of Wisconsin rightfully swirls around that state’s governor and rising GOP star, Scott Walker, it’s important to remember that there are five other Republican
Normally, I don’t concern myself with MSNBC. They’re openly left and therefore when it comes to policing the media, the least of our problems. But this is a development: A MSNBC panel on the show “NOW” discusses a report that the
Full disclosure: Adam Baldwin is a contributor to this site and a friend of mine, but he just became my hero. Our friends at Twitchy have the details: Last night Twitchy reported that actor Alec Baldwin dipped his toes into the
Politifact is quite proud of its contextually-challenged fabrication built to ensure that whenever presumptive nominee Mitt Romney hits one of President Obama’s primary weak spots — his unprecedented, reckless, and failed federal spending binge — the White House Palace Guards

Kathryn Bigelow is an exceptionally talented director and, until she finally won the Best Director Oscar a couple of years ago (and became the first woman to do so), her obvious talents had gone unappreciated for almost two decades. The
When you think of all the work CNN put into hyping Anderson Cooper, this has to be, especially during an election year, a huge disappointment. As far as Piers Morgan, somewhere Larry King is feeling awfully smug. THR: Final numbers
Monday, Politico’s “media analyst” Dylan Byers posted what at first glance looked like bad news for radio talk show giant Rush Limbaugh, who has been the target of a boycott after apologizing for comments he made about about pay-for-my-birth-control crusader
Yesterday, Vice President Joe Biden insulted the working class in front of a crowd in New Hampshire with this absurd declaration: “Your job as president is to promote the common good. That doesn’t mean the private equity guys are bad
