Last month when Obama’s poll numbers were soaring after winning the first round of budget battles with Congress, the media was falling all over themselves to report on those. But now that Obama’s numbers are tanking in the wake of
The Catholic Church is looking a lot more transparent and racially diverse than the Obama Adminstration these days. Before meditating and then gathering for the secret conclave in the Sistine Chapel where the vote for a new Pope will begin,
The History Channel’s broadcast of the second-part of its five-part miniseries based on the Bible, wasn’t just the top-rated show on cable television Sunday night, it was the top-rated show in all of television: The Bible commanded HISTORY as #1
Probably most famous as studio head Darryl F. Zanuck’s biggest and most embarrassing flop, “Wilson,” a big-budget, Technicolor hagiography of President Woodrow Wilson, finally arrives on DVD courtesy of the 20th Century-Fox Archive Collection. Though I’m no fan of Wilson
You would think a high-profile media reporter like Howard Kurtz would hold himself to a certain standard when it comes to what he aggregates out to the world. Well, not when it comes to trashing the Catholic Church. Yesterday, without
Because the mainstream media loves Andrew Sullivan’s willingness to say what they would like to in order to the destroy the right, the media props him up — even when he spreads unfounded gossip no one else could ever get
Watch Soledad O’Brien’s interview with Maryland State Senator J.B. Jennings, a Republican lawmaker: — — 1. O’Brien is condescending to her guest. She actually laughs at him throughout the interview. 2. O’Brien arrogantly assumes she knows more about what Maryland
Because it’s Friday…. 1. Angie Dickinson 2. Pam Grier 3. Cyd Charisse 4. Raquel Welch 5. Ava Gardner Oh, it’s not Friday?
MSNBC host Ed Schultz surveyed his undeniably left-wing viewership on the issue of President Obama’s drone strike policy, specifically the targeting of American citizens for assassination. A full 78% took the time to text their support; only 22% disagreed. — —
Unlike 98% of the mainstream media, Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News is more interested in reporting the truth about Libya than she is protecting the Obama Administration from that truth. While almost all of the media have done everything in
In writer/director Judd Apatow’s “This Is 40,” Paul Rudd’s Pete is in the entertainment business, married to Apatow’s real-life wife, Leslie Mann, and father to their real-life daughters, Maude and Iris. So Apatow casts his own wife and young daughters
Mark Tapscott, executive editor of The Washington Examiner, did an interesting spot-check yesterday. Using the search engines of a few high-profile news outlets, he documented the number of references each made to conservative political activists, “the Koch Brothers,” as compared
We’re currently living through “30 Rock II: Electric Boogaloo,” where the elite media manufactures a reality that says a ratings disaster they happen to like is some sort of cultural phenomenon. This is an old trick the left plays to
New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg’s fascist zeal to regulate soft drinks and salt intake has likely resulted in him taking his eye off the ball of what really matters: reading scores and the homeless. While Bloomberg has yet to
Last month 236,000 net jobs were created and the unemployment rate dropped from 7.9 to 7.7%. Though the media buries this fact, the likely reason for the drop in the unemployment rate is that 130,000 people abandoned the labor force.
I have no idea why I so stupidly and carelessly assumed the young California woman killed by a lion last week had been careless. But I did, and I was dead wrong. Twenty-four-year-old Dianna Hanson wasn’t playing Grizzly Man, she
If things work out as hoped, I’ll throw in a few “Rockford Files” episodes, as well. That show’s been on constant rotation at the Nolte home since 1993. But here’s the agenda as of now. I’ll certainly update with any
In reporting, context is everything — at least, it should be everything. But when it comes to protecting Obama and his failed economic policies, the media willfully lies by omission to manufacture a reality in which Obama’s policies have succeeded.
Nobody watches HBO’s “Girls.” Nobody. In a country of over 300 million, 866,000 viewers is statistically zero. And yet: Lena Dunham, creator of the HBO series ‘Girls,’ has quietly shaken up the writing staff for her breakout comedy-drama about a group of
Once again we find Glenn Kessler doing the honorable, bipartisan work of holding a White House responsible for what they say and do. And once again, the White House has been caught lying regarding a sequester scare tactic, this time
***UPDATE: From an email: “Nolte’s Reagan-Obama job rate analysis is skewed in O’s favor because, sinceClinton, workforce dropouts are no longer included.” Below, a commenter accurately notes, as well, that Reagan expanded the workforce and still lowered the unemployment rate. Obama, however,
Good people can disagree on the issue of drone use. That wasn’t the point of Kentucky Senator Rand Paul’s epic filibuster to me. Here are the top-five things I loved about it… 1. Paul was demanding a straight answer from
The plot is ridiculously and intentionally screwball, but the delivery is sublime. The impossibly beautiful Doris (Loretta Young) is a society gal married to Leonard (Warner Baxter), a humble contractor facing hard times and a wife suddenly demanding a shot
In a Quinnipiac University poll released today, President Obama has lost whatever edge the media still pretends he enjoys over Republicans on the overall issue of guns. Only 42% of voters trust Obama on the issue of guns, compared to
It’s going to be a long time before we forget just how hard the ObamaMedia laughed at the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre when he suggested that the answer to stopping mass-shootings is to place an armed guard in every school in
A Fox News poll of 1,010 registered voters taken Feb. 25-27 of this year, shows that only 45% approve of our government using drones to kill a suspected terrorist who is American on U.S. soil. Fifty-percent disapprove. Concern over the Obama
At a shareholder Q&A Wednesday, Disney/ABC CEO Bob Iger met a shareholder unhappy over ABC News’ bias, specifically an attack on the Tea Party that ended up being horribly wrong [emphasis added]: When it came time for a general Q&A,
***CORRECTION: Every assumption in this post is dead wrong. Dianna Hanson did nothing wrong. I’ve posted a full correction and apology here. In response to This is not “Life of Pi”: In 2005, German director Werner Herzog released “Grizzly Man,”
Look at this madness: article after article after article hitting Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes for agreeing with President Obama on the issue of his work ethic, or lack thereof. Last night, though, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer took the attacks a
The. Greatest. Thing. In. The. World. just happened on CNN. On her morning show, the outgoing Soledad O’Brien was all set to rip into Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes for describing President Obama as “lazy” in an upcoming biography. The
On top of this superb filibuster unfolding in the Senate right now, the NRSC actually did this… https://www.nrsc.org/donation/i-stand-with-rand/ Yes, that’s right, like we’re Democrats or something, the National Republican Senatorial Committee was able to post a filibuster fundraising plea the same
Senator Rand Paul has drawn a line in the sand with his filibuster. He will stop if and when Barack Obama or Eric Holder clarify the White House drone policy regarding regarding the targeting of American citizens on American soil. The
The reason Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid interrupted when he did was likely in the hopes of stealing some of Rand Paul’s thunder in tonight’s Nightly News broadcasts. That little bit of tension, he hopes, will be what the networks

***UPDATE: Kansas Senator Jerry Moran just jumped in. Thus far this has been a brilliant filibuster: Measured, respectful, thoughtful. Senator Rand Paul is not only exposing President Obama’s breathtaking hypocrisy on the issue of drones, he’s also giving a Master
After three-hours and ten minutes of Kentucky senator Rand Paul employing a good old-fashioned talking filibuster, Utah senator Mike Lee has stepped in to relieve his Republican colleague. Currently, both men are holding a discussion on the Obama Administration’s drone

True to form, Politico and MSNBC once again became one just a few minutes ago. Here’s Politico’s national political reporter, James Hohmann, explaining Sen. Rand Paul’s filibuster motivations on MSNBC: Rand Paul’s concern is his own base of support. He
