If Congress and the president don’t raise the debt ceiling, the consequences will be disastrous, politicians and pundits tell us, — the equivalent of an economic Armageddon. And President Obama warns that the consequences are so dire that he cannot

Continuing our series illustrating how MSNBC relies on Media Matters (the left-wing, partisan, non-profit organization whose dubious tax-exempt status is currently under fire) as their research department, we are pleased to present the Weinergate edition. When the Weinergate story finally

This is the kind of childish speculation you expect to see at some lowly, left-wing hit site like the Soros’-owned, tax-exempt Media Matters — not at a brand publication like Forbes. Based ONLY on a sweatshirt logo, Jeff Bercovici, who

Anyone who caught “Real Time” this past weekend got to enjoy some great television. Much like the boss (and much unlike your average buttoned-up conservative), Ann Coulter thrives in a political environment where there’s an emphasis on entertainment, humor, and

The Old Media is still acting shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that the Obama administration treats them like a redheaded stepchild. Newsweek’s The Daily Beast, for instance, is incredulous at the “reprehensible” actions of the Obama White House for having

After The Washington Post broke the news of the Watergate break-ins in 1972, the Nixon administration circled the wagons. And in 1997 – a full 25 years after the fact – Katherine Graham, who was with The Post in 1972,

Liberal news site Talking Points Memo manages to almost (but not quite) turn being a foster parent to 23 at-risk teens into a negative campaign issue with a wee bit of burying the lede legerdemain and by squarely playing into

Continuing the theme set up by MSNBC’s Chris Matthews last night referring to Republicans as “Wahhabis” and “terrorists”, Tina Brown called GOP leadership “suicide bombers” for not raising taxes.

Calling Republicans the “Wahhabis of the American government” wasn’t enough for MSNBC’s Chris Matthews today. In case his audience didn’t fully appreciate the subtle nuance of his message, he reiterated by calling efforts to cut spending, retain the debt ceiling

On MSNBC’s, Morning Joe, political analyst / reporter / author Mark Halperin made what is known as a Kinsleyesque Gaffe. You see, Mark Halperin committed the ultimate sin for those who reside behind the Left’s Ideological Iron Curtain. He said

This transcends “thrill up my leg”.

“Whatever action that network, any network, any newspaper might take, that’s not for us to decide.” So as long as that media outlet isn’t a car plant or Boeing, the administration won’t barge in and tell them how to run

During a film montage tribute to late director Sidney Lumet, the obscenity “f**king” was broadcast on MSNBC. There have been no repercussions. This is in stark contrast to the immediate and indefinite suspension of MSNBC analyst Mark Halperin today after

That’s right, conservatives aren’t just wrong on the issues, they are evil!

I had a chance to view a clip of Rep. Michelle Bachmann boasting that President Obama has failed Black and Hispanic Voters. Well I have to look no further than my front door to see the truthfulness in Ms. Bachmann’s

Jim Treacher posted this great clip on Twitter. Watch as Cenk Uygur of MSNBC tells his audience how pathetic Andrew Breitbart is, and by extension all the bloggers who believed the Weinergate story. [youtube ris7kWRonW8] Olbermann was a loudmouth misogynist

From Accuracy in Media‘s Betsi Fores: Keith Olbermann, America’s favorite ex-commentator, recently appeared on late night with Jimmy Fallon, criticizing the media, particularly the political media, for their response and coverage of the Anthony Weiner scandal. In the segment, he

Last month, Disney attempted to cash in on the Navy SEAL Team 6 name fame by submitting a US trademark application for the name SEAL Team 6. The US Navy countered with their own trademark submissions and Disney backed down

I don’t know Callista Gingrich, I’ve never met her, but it seems that the media is very eager to impress upon people like me the idea that she’s a self-centered, diva-nag. An odd thing to do, considering it’s her husband,

Last month, Disney attempted to cash in on the Navy SEAL Team 6 name fame by submitting a US trademark application for “SEAL Team 6.” The US Navy countered with their own trademark submissions and Disney backed down by abandoning

I, like many others, made light of the President’s recent shocking display of economic ignorance. In an interview on NBC’s TODAY, the President claimed that productivity, the source of our prosperity, is really a “structural issue” holding back the job

Maddow last night blamed Anthony Weiner’s fall on media’s double standard for Democrats. In reality, it was the media – and many in the progressive new media – who rushed to Weiner’s defense when the first photo surfaced. It was

Monday night, the current GOP Presidential field took the stage in New Hampshire for a debate hosted by CNN. Most political junkies (which, let’s face it, are the only people watching these things) went in with low expectations. Really, what’s

Is this the same Chris Matthews? Maybe the biggest story from last night was not Romney’s cool or Pawlenty’s retreat, but the emergence of a star, Michele Bachmann. She was, of course, created here. She came off as poised, informed,

Doesn’t it seem like he so close to calling her a “slut” like he did to Laura Ingraham last month?

From Fox Nation: President Obama explained to NBC News that the reason companies aren’t hiring is not because of his policies, it’s because the economy is so automated. … “There are some structural issues with our economy where a lot
