At a time when President Obama is doing several fundraisers each week, CBS decides to go to a weekend retreat the GOP put together with high-rolling donors and lobbyists for GOP freshmen. The exclusive getaway included golf, fishing, and numerous dinners at
While Americans have been bombarded with Republican debates, most would argue that they haven’t been bombarded with, well, substance. Lackluster questions, vocal crowds, and candidates allowing moderators to set the premise of discussions have made the debates devolve into bickering and
The former Speaker has been slipping in the polls and fallen out of the media eye and, thus, needed a breakout performance tonight. Going back to a proven strategy of attacking the media, Newt Gingrich garnered some of the biggest
Moderators and guest questioners have been excruciating, mind-numbing and downright frustrating the Republican base by their prattling questions that have little to do with jobs, the economy, the environment, President Obama’s record or anything that average day Americans actually have
It’s the most important election of our lifetime. Now, more than ever before, it is important to understand what the Presidential candidates believe, what their policies are, and the differences between themselves and the current administration. The Republican National Committee
Apparently, not much. [youtube QYZvMMrgP20 nolink] The pressing issues of the day according to NBC: Terri Schiavo, sugar subsidies, the Everglades Project, the over-asked “Will you run as a 3rd party candidate?” question, English as the official language, and the
At around 6:15 a.m. ET the owners of Zuccotti Park and the government of NYC gave into the union-supported, trashy homeless people living on private property. The police waited so late to respond and to clear out the protesters that

MSNBC has finally broken radio silence on “Weinergate.” Their take: Protect yourself from hacking. MSNBC’s version of practicing journalism on this story involves taking Representative Weiner’s statement and accepting it without question. Truly, MSNBC is speaking truth to power. After
CNN’s John King managed to be the first cable news outlet to ask the question Big Government and Big Journalism have been asking all weekend: There’s one way the congressman could try to put this to rest, and that would
In the age of instant analysis and response of news via twitter, accuracy and attention to detail are a must. At least, that’s what “real” journalists have always told us. Today, “journalist” Chuck Todd sent out a tweet that read
If you know someone who graduated high school in the last 10 years, they don’t remember the Kennedys. They don’t remember what John Kennedy did to this country. They don’t remember what it was like having someone with such popular
ABC reporter John Quinones produced a deceptive propaganda piece about the recent Arizona law (SB1070) dealing with illegal immigration. John Quinones, with the support of ABC, again peddles the mainstream media meme that anyone who is for the enforcement of
Politicizing any tragic event for the sake of political posturing is despicable. And that’s exactly what the left did on Saturday before the bodies of the victims of Lee Loughner’s massacre were even cold. It’s deplorable to point fingers and
We all supported Juan Williams when he was dumped from NPR for actually trying to have an honest conversation about terrorism. We cheered for him as he was hired by Fox News. I applaud O’Reilly when he has Williams host.
I’ve never really followed the exploits of the Palin children, just like I haven’t followed the lives of President Barack Obama’s children. Personally, I don’t think kids should have to suffer under the public ire just because their parents are
If you have dreamed of watching Nancy Pelosi’s face when she realizes that she won’t be Speaker of the House anymore because her party lost the majority, don’t hold your breath. The Democrats are climbing into their bunkers to ride
Ed Schultz is no stranger to making inane comments about the right and being blindly apologetic for the left. But as we get closer to election day, and the left’s heads are exploding, Ed Schultz (along with the rest of
MSNBC seems more interested in showing concern for Jerry Brown’s pseudo-agony of being on “message discipline” rather than in doing journalism (surprise, surprise). We saw them skim over Brown comparing the Meg Whitman campaign to Nazi propoganda, and we saw
Bad history is bad history and Rob Reiner is a student of some seriously bad history. One would be pressed to find a case where bad history lead to good decisions concerning the present. Case in point: On Friday’s Real

Rachel Maddow and MSNBC have shown repeatedly that they see the people of Oklahoma City as tools. [youtube kd0kyTQpaWc nolink] Though, this it isn’t only MSNBC that uses Oklahoma City to play the Christians Can Be Radicals Too Card –
The leftist media has some favorite public figures that it just loves to hate like Sarah Palin, Sharron Angle, and Michelle Bachmann – but there is one candidate that the media has left alone. This candidate was a total underdog.
