Just before Mitt Romney’s pick of Wisc. Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, CNN commentator Fareed Zakaria got himself in a spot o’ trouble when it was discovered that he had plagiarized a piece he wrote for TIME magazine.

Democrat National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a recent interview that she had “no idea” about the political affiliation of the super PAC that is endorsing Barack Obama. Asked if the group was a Democrat group, she feigned

Social Security is as close to insolvency as you can get and not be belly up. Government watchdogs warn that Social Security will see a $7 trillion shortfall by 2086. But the Associated Press says, don’t worry about all that,

The “Tiffany Network” is trying to sell that cheap cubic zirconia garbage. What else would you call journalism in which the biggest questions of the day go unasked in order to help the reportorial subject? Nancy Cordes shows up to

The New York Times misses the point that Mitt Romney’s selection of Paul Ryan to be his running mate further highlights Obama’s failures — on the economy, on the debt, on bipartisanship, and on the budget.  Instead, the Times, right

What do you call a reporter who spends her Twitter time regurgitating Obama talking points?  Most people would call her a biased hack. CBS News calls her Nancy Cordes, guest-host for “Face the Nation.” Earlier today, Breitbart News pointed out

New York Times reporter Jackie Calmes must have found Chris Matthews’s “leg tingle” as she penned a story dreamily reminiscing about Obama’s “jaw-dropping crowds” he used to garner at campaign stops back in 2007-08. Calmes also wondered why Obama isn’t getting

Rachel Maddow of MSNBC is sure that Mitt Romney’s recent campaign ad is “racist.” How does she know? Well, she can’t point to anything substantive that proves it, so she has to feel that it’s racist and since she feels

Plainly the long knives are out among the left-media already. All media hands have been called on deck to cut Rep. Paul Ryan to pieces before he sets one foot on the campaign trail. As for Buzzfeed, they’ve stooped to

Anonymous Source is a busy person, but not busy enough to provide completely unsourced quotes to Buzzfeed in an attempt to pit Sarah Palin against Paul Ryan in the wake of the VP announcement.  But aides were quick Saturday to

The leftwing, Old Media has chosen its mode of attack on Paul Ryan: he wants to kill your grandmother. To further that, on CNNs Saturday morning election coverage, Candy Crowley announced that people are “afraid” that presumptive GOP nominee Mitt

The biggest criticism of the Romney campaign has been its lackluster way of dealing with the media. No one understood the battle with the media better than the late Andrew Breitbart, who foresaw that our candidates would be running against

It was a safe prediction that I made earlier this week that the Activist Old Media would work to destroy Mitt Romney’s choice for vice president. The attacks began even before the early morning announcement of Paul Ryan.  Witness CNN

Liberal columnist and NBC political analyst Jonathan Alter somehow went further than even Team Obama’s recent accusation that Mitt Romney is responsible for a woman succumbing to cancer. Last night, on MSNBC, Alter pretty much accused Romney, Republicans, and anyone

The New York Times recently wrote a story about President Barack Obama’s news consumption habits that paints him as a president who thinks the mainstream media is unfair to him, and reveals that Obama, contrary his cool and detached facade,

***3rd Update:  CNN has suspended Zakaria indefinitely, and say he plagiarized the same article in a CNN blog post: We have reviewed Fareed Zakaria’s TIME column, for which he has apologized. He wrote a shorter blog post on CNN.com on

I make the mistake of watching ABC’s Good Morning America most mornings. It’s out of habit, having worked on air at an ABC affiliate for 25 years (plus, who wants to see Charlie Rose first thing in the morning?) These

When senior Obama campaign advisor Stephanie Cutter told the media she was unaware of the details of the false and misleading story retired steelworker Joe Soptic told in the now infamous Priorities USA super PAC ad — she lied. Period.

Let’s first give credit where credit is due. Politico, the web site that is the brunt of a lot of criticism here, knows that there is something fishy with the collusion between the Obama camp and a pro-Obama SuperPAC and

For two straight days, now ABC, CBS, and NBC have not bothered to mention the roiling controversy over the lie-filled ad that Obama’s Super PAC put out intimating that Mitt Romney killed a steel worker’s wife. The ad is being

The Obama campaign blinked when its Deputy Campaign Manager, Stephanie Cutter, dropped an appearance on “This Week” to avoid harsh questioning over her dishonesty about Bull Burton’s shameful Priorities USA ad. That ad has caused a mini-war within the Democratic

President Obama’s embattled deputy campaign manager, Stephanie Cutter, was scheduled to appear on ABC’s “This Week” yet seems to now have changed her mind as calls for her firing intensify. Cutter took to the press this week to claim that

Despite giving numerous interviews while overseas, the press complained about limited access to Mitt Romney while he traveled to England, Poland, and Israel. That same media hasn’t so much as whispered after President Obama hasn’t answered a single question from

If you need any proof about how depraved and dishonest left wing media can be, wait until you read this story. Occupy Wall Street activist Sean McKeown reports that he had informed a producer who allegedly worked with Mr. Olbermann

Buzzfeed insinuates that Mitt Romney has distanced himself from his faith to the point of not practicing his religion, in the name of politics, and therefore has no character. All evidence suggests otherwise, unless you consider standard media talking points against Romney as evidence. Opening
