Remember when AttackWatch launched? The President’s new site aimed at fighting that with which they disagree collects anything negative written of the President — what it terms “smears.” Now it’s completely silent and has been so for the past several

MSM fact-checkers are an absolute cancer on our political process, a cynical and partisan conceit created by the left-wing media that allows them to arbitrarily judge what is and is not the truth, all in an effort to bring down

If I have to do one more piece on correcting Tommy Christopher’s silly bias, I’m going to start charging Mediaite for copy-editing. Christopher recently wrote a post attacking Rush Limbaugh and later Ann Coulter for criticizing Romney at CPAC and

**UPDATE: Romney camp responds to Hot Air **UPDATE II: Matt Lewis added the Romney camp’s reponse to his story but stands by his original report. **UPDATE III: Red State’s Moe Lane has more in an update of his own: “the

Potential good news via the New York Post: Christiane Amanpour may soon be giving up the anchor chair on ABC News’ “This Week.” Sources say network honchos are mulling who might replace the award-winning journalist, who has struggled in the

Alec Baldwin cannot stop sticking his foot into his mouth. He does so again on the virtual pages of the Huffington Post, in explaining his rude behavior on the American Airlines flight from which he was ejected. He describes American

– A video dedication to Eric Boehlert: [youtube 7YvAYIJSSZY nolink] – Brokaw on Trump: “[Trump] is an utterly shameless self-promoter” and the media should stop enabling him.” – An update to our story about the blogger slammed with the $2.5m

My colleague John Nolte blows the lid off the weak excuse used by Questlove to deflect the Fishbone/Michele Bachmann fallout. Questlove ratted himself out in the lastest issue of Rolling Stone: When the Fallon/Bachmann controversy first exploded, Questlove issued a

It’s that time of year again, time for newspapers and magazines to start floating their “top stories of the year” lists and Time Magazine has a whole “Top of Everything” list with which to thrill us. But it is Time’s

“City and State’s” Harry Siegel pretty much blames the police for Occupy’s demise. Obviously in denial, he can’t bring himself to face the fact that the movement’s unpopularity in a city as liberal as New York is the only reason

Wednesday, I came across this Columbia Journalism Review interview with Politico’s Ben Smith, in which he describes his work in this context: The news cycle now is about these tiny segments, and I think my stuff is what people are

This is certainly scary, although it should scare some of the progressive trolls whose content is built on innuendo and libel. In a case that’s sending a frightening message to the blogger community, a U.S. District Court judge ruled that

– Time Magazine lists as its biggest story of the year … Occupy Wall Street. Seriously. The Occupy movement has remained leaderless, amorphous and spontaneous — demonstrators carry signs advocating everything from financial reform to healthcare reform to a ban

Yesterday, CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson broke a major story that pretty much confirmed that the ATF gunwalking operation known as Fast and Furious was, at least in part, designed to create an atmosphere where new gun control laws

Whenever I think of the Huffington Post newsroom I think of the frat house from “PCU.” That’s the only possible explanation for the is-it-or-isn’t-it-true story posted to HuffPo yesterday detailing how Eric Boehlert firmly believes that the bearded Verizon guy

It almost seems unfair to give CBS News’ investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson a “Credit Where It’s Due.” That gives the impression that this is an anomaly when, in reality, Ms. Attkisson’s consistency in fair and robust reporting on the brewing

Politico‘s Ben Smith writes today that Media Matters for America (MMfA) and the Center for American Progress (CAP), both “core institutions” of the Democratic Party, are pushing anti-Israel policies and downplaying the threat of a nuclear Iran. By promoting views

Pausing to remember. […] These great Japanese successes, achieved without prior diplomatic formalities, shocked and enraged the previously divided American people into a level of purposeful unity hardly seen before or since. For the next five months, until the Battle

The Left’s propagandists are constantly trying to convince us that there’s no inherent media bias. One of my fellow bloggers at TheRightSphere.com, Brock Boehlert, provides a perfect counter to the liberal noise-machine’s disconnected-from-reality talking point: Take a look at these

– Entertainment Weekly: Republicans and Democrats watch different things. Republicans don’t watch MTV’s Jersey Shore. But they dig ABC’s Castle. Democrats don’t like Discovery’sDeadliest Catch. But they swoon for NBC’s Parks and Recreation. Those are a few of the findings

Jose Antonio Vargas is the perfect example of media bias. He presents himself as both an activist for illegal immigrants and a “journalist.” He’s uniquely suited to this claim in today’s PC world, too, because he is himself an “undocumented

For sheer comedic purposes. Trump’s attempt to keep one foot in the pundit/moderator ring while another is in the will-he-or-won’t-he possible candidacy ring is a bit of a stretch where it concerns legitimacy. While I would prefer Trump as a

Media Research Center: ABC, CBS and NBC were uninterested in Obama’s Rev. Wright connection, but have gotten religion and are using it to target conservative candidates. With the 2012 elections less than a year away, the liberal media are attacking
