So far this month, two MSNBC personalities–Alex Wagner and Craig Melvin–have twice mocked or otherwise maligned the Second Amendment and the people who look to it as a bedrock guarantee of the right to keep and bear arms. In one

Now that we’re learning something about Cain’s accusers and how the National Restaurant Association settlements agreements were handled, Politico’s unwillingness to give us specific details in that mega-story of theirs is starting to make some sense, at least to me.

This is classic MSM spin, and it’s important to note the context. “First Read”‘s Mark Murray is not saying that the beating ObamaCare took at the hands of Ohio voters yesterday will hurt Governor Mitt Romney in the GOP primary…

This screen shot was taken just a few minutes ago, and what’s revealing is that a mainstream media outlet that poses as non-partisan would find the “possibility” of two Cain accusers holding a joint press conference a bigger piece of

My definition of “epic” better not differ from their definition of “epic,” because when I hear or read that something is, or is going to be “epic,” it better be as advertised. WPIX11 breathlessly reports that the march #OWS is

– Question: During yesterday’s Cain presser media asked the presidential hopeful if he was willing to submit to a lie detector test. Given that media loves to place the burden of proof on the accused rather than forcing the accusers

Surprise surprise. Dana Milbank, an op-ed writer at The Washington Post, doesn’t think Operation Fast & Furious is a scandal. Of course I sent him an email because I want to know why he doesn’t think this is a scandal.

My impression of Herman Cain’s press conference today, which he called to address mounting allegations of past sexual harassment, is that Cain succeeded in conveying the impression that in his own mind at least, he is telling the truth. That

Why doesn’t Diane Sawyer spend a night in Zuccotti Park? Why don’t Brian Williams, Anderson Cooper, Chris Matthews or anyone at MSNBC or CNN spend the night before they go all glassy-eyed with awe and wonder over this “important” movement

Unnamed sources, vague allegations, and innuendo amount to nothing more than a media hit. Politico‘s attack on Herman Cain a week ago stunk, and it stinks today just as badly. Sharon Bialek, however, is a different story. The 50 year-old

It’s not exactly breaking news but still disappointing that Brian Williams has not mentioned Operation Fast and Furious on NBC Nightly News. I just sent off this email to him: Dear NBC Nightly News: I am extremely disappointed & disgusted

– Cain attacks the media, but not everyone is so convinced: See, it’s a strategy. You should support this because he’s playing by his own rules and not letting The Media boss him around. On the other hand, he’s also

As we’ve highlighted before, tax exempt Media Matters’ mission isn’t to correct misinformation in the conservative media. Their job is to promote narratives which will then be picked up by friendly outlets, like MSNBC, and seep out into the public

The mainstream media loves to hate payday lenders. That’s because it’s easy to paint them as villains without ever explaining the whole story behind the product. So they publish article upon article attacking payday lenders without ever acknowledging that millions
