Congrats to Bret Baier and his superb team of producers, writers, correspondents, and round-table regulars. Well deserved. Four years ago, it was impossible to imagine anyone sitting in Brit Hume’s chair, much less retaining the quality that makes “Special Report” so,

Howard Kurtz is such a piece of work. Obama spent weeks demagoguing the sequester and blaming Republicans for the coming cuts. Except, of course, Obama was lying. Sequester was not only his idea, but he also agreed that any deal

Iran’s state-run news agency FARS altered an image of First Lady Michelle Obama presenting the Best Picture Oscar at Sunday’s Academy Awards.  The photo showing Obama on a giant screen hovering over the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood

If it mattered, the dismissive way Obama treats the media coupled with his lack of transparency would be troubling. But it doesn’t matter. Even if the president was as transparent as glass, the media would still cover up anything that

Soon — though not soon enough — Soledad O’Brien will be out of our lives forever. On her morning cable news show, “Starting Point,” CNN is already slowly nudging her out. This morning, two other CNN anchors handled the hard

The Baltimore Sun’s David Zurawik rips NBC News, especially Andrea Mitchell, over the hiring of Obama confidantes Robert Gibbs and David Axelrod: The cable channel that flies under the banner of NBC News is now all but a bona fide

It was announced today that Evan McMorris-Santoro, the national politics reporter for Talking Points Memo, will replace Zeke Miller as BuzzFeed’s White House reporter. News of Miller’s departure didn’t come as a surprise. It’s been rumored for some time. The

There is little evidence of “Fair and Balanced” when it comes to WFLD Fox 32 Chicago. Especially not when it comes to covering the race to replace Jesse Jackson, Jr. for the Illinois 2nd Congressional District seat. Rather, the station
