It took almost 15 years, but the rotting and decayed corpse called Newsweek will finally be buried as a print edition at the end of this year. Newsweek’s actual time of death, though, was by suicide in 1998, the day

George Will made a relatively quixotic proclamation immediately after the second presidential debate held at Hofstra University in New York. First of all, he thought the debate was “immeasurably the best” in American presidential debate history. Just as quixotically, Will

Late this afternoon, TMZ reported a leaked email from CNN Managing Editor Mark Whitaker to the staff of CNN, defending disgraced second presidential debate moderator Candy Crowley. It’s a full-throated list of Barack Obama talking points. Here’s the email: Let’s

The corrupt media is made up of many entities. But within it you have legitimately good reporters and correspondents like the Daily Beast’s Eli Lake and CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson who are out there doing the kind of reporting and

Two days after actresses Stacey Dash appeared on CNN to discuss the online abuse she’d taken as a black woman who planned to vote for Mitt Romney for president, CNN posted a factually inaccurate opinion piece by Sherrilyn A. Ifill. 

ADDED: Via Twitter, Tom Vaughn catches something I missed. Wemple also reported this: [emphasis added] President Obama, though, wasn’t done with Kerry Ladka. “After the debate, the president came over to me and spent about two minutes with me privately,”

What are the odds for getting the last word in a debate with Barack Obama? If the moderator is Obama-sycophant Candy Crowley, the odds are 8 to 3 against you. That’s what happened to Mitt Romney in the second presidential

Candy Crowley, who was suspected of being one more liberal moderator in the tank for Barack Obama, was more than just in the tank for him; she dove in and sucked all the water out for him so he could

On CNN’s “State of the Union” on September 30, Candy Crowley asked Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) why he thought it took the administration 17 days after the Benghazi attacks to give a “sort of definitive statement” that terrorists orchestrated the

On CNN’s “State of the Union” on September 30, Candy Crowley insisted David Axelrod, President Barack Obama’s chief strategist, was wrong when Axelrod tried to claim President Barack Obama called the Benghazi attack “an act of terror” on the day after.  “First,

***UPDATE 4: Politico’s Dylan Byers: “After the debate, even Crowley seemed to acknowledge that she had erred.” ***UPDATE 3: Even Politico’s Mike Allen is questioning Crowley’s call. ***UPDATE 2: Even Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler says Crowley got it wrong: Obama

Jeffrey Goldberg, official Obama brownnoser for The Atlantic, has decided that he, and he alone, knows who is responsible for allowing the terrible murders in Benghazi of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. So just which great personage is

As we already know, CNN’s Candy Crowley is moderating tonight’s second presidential debate between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney. Crowley has already signalled her intent to make her mark on the debate and she has already done everything

Mitt Romney has made a few honest gaffes during this campaign, as has the President. But Romney’s actual gaffes are surely outnumbered by the number of invented, bogus gaffes pushed out by the professional left. Here’s a list of ten

***UPDATE: Van Jones just did an awkward CNN walk-on to apologize to Mitt Romney.   During the second half of the 4PM Eastern hour on CNN’s “Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer,” Obama’s former Green Jobs Czar, Van Jones, referred to

Fox News is reporting that Candy Crowley’s desperate need to marginalize everyday American voters and steal the spotlight for herself during tonight’s debate has just been formalized. Altering the original agreement with the debate commission, and under intense media pressure,

After U.S. intelligence, U.S. security officers in Libya, Reps Mike Kelly (R-PA) and Dan Burton (R-IN), and even the State Dept say the Benghazi attack was terrorism, The New York Times is claiming “there is little doubt what occurred” —

Voters do not like taxes. So, National Public Radio in New Hampshire helped Maggie Hassan, the Democrat candidate for Governor, by doing a little editing work to take the word “tax” out of one of her answers at a recent

CNN’s Candy Crowley recently called Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan the “death wish ticket.” So her bias is no secret. But unlike many mainstream media reporters, she knows better than what she is fed by the Obama administration.  That is

The Cleveland Plain Dealer, otherwise known as the Obama Rag, is now tacitly encouraging voters to commit voter fraud. How? In various neighborhoods around Cleveland, Cincinnati and Milwaukee, there are billboards reading, “Voter Fraud is a Felony! Up to 3

Washington Post reporter Dan Zak saw a different vice presidential debate than nearly everyone else in the Old Media establishment. Zak watched the debate where Joe Biden was brilliant, Martha Raddatz was fair, and Paul Ryan was like “the perp-of-the-week”

“The Chris Matthews Show” is always good for entertainment. A handful of libs sitting around a small table chatting about how best they can get Dear Leader elected.  Once a week is about all of this anybody can take. Andrew

Buzz Bissinger, the liberal writer best known for his non-fiction book “Friday Night Lights,” says his peers in the mainstream media are “deceiving themselves” if they think they can keep their left-leaning biases out of their stories and reporting.  After

After Mitt Romney’s dominating debate performance over President Barack Obama propelled the Republican ticket to leads in national and swing state polls, the mainstream media is trying desperately to find a way to ignore the reality on the ground. And

Is there any doubt that Candy Crowley, who will moderate the next Romney-Obama debate, will use her liberal bias to help Obama? This is the same woman who had this to say after Mitt Romney picked Paul Ryan as his

Yes, Virginia, there is something fishy about media coverage of the debates, but it’s deeper than you think. As was reported here on Friday, the New York Times elided Paul Ryan’s terrific line “And we will not blame others for

A photograph taken by Getty Images on Friday of a man wearing a racist t-shirt at a Mitt Romney rally in Ohio has caused controversy over Getty’s unsubstantiated claim the man is a supporter of the Republican presidential nominee.  The

In the world of journalism, no bad deed goes unrewarded. Take the case of former Washington bureau chief for Yahoo! News, David Chalian. You may recall that he was fired after he was heard saying during the Republican National Convention

CNN has an interesting story of an immigrant that came to this country from the oppressive socialist nation in which he was born, worked hard to attain the American dream, became wealthy, and dearly wishes for his fellow Americans to

Whereas most people in the middle and the right saw Biden as a snorting, chortling, constantly interrupting blowhard and “moderator” Martha Raddatz as Biden’s willing assistant during Thursday’s vice presidential debate, CNN’s Soledad O’Brien and Dana Bash saw “perfect pitch”

Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi emerged Friday as one of the few pundits enthusiastic over Joe Biden’s controversial performance in this week’s vice presidential debate against Paul Ryan. Beyond defending Biden’s interruptions and awkward laughter, Taibbi considers this approach

Fox News Channel won the race during the vice presidential debate this week — the ratings race.  Fox brought in more than twice as many viewers as MSNBC and CNN separately, therefore beating the two networks combined. Not only that,

The Obama campaign and their media minions would have had us believe that Martha Raddatz truly was non-partisan even after the Daily Caller revealed that Obama had attended her wedding to Julius Genachowski in 1991. The lame excuse that was

With the exception of Washington Post columnist and Fox News contributor Charles Lane, no one in the media noticed Vice President Joe Biden’s attacks on Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan’s patriotism during Thursday’s debate. Twice, Biden accused Romney and Ryan of

Remember when ABC News elided Mitt Romney’s entire opening speech from their transcript of the first presidential debate? Now it’s the New York Times that has cut a key phrase (and one of the best lines of the night) from

Even though the mainstream media’s Narrative Gatekeepers won’t allow for a national discussion on the security failures in Libya and the subsequent White House cover up, that doesn’t mean voters are disinterested or that local media outlets in the individual
