It’s no accident that Fox News is running more entertainment and feel-good stories lately, their reputation as a news organization took a shellacking this last election cycle. Fox News got just about everything wrong, from pundits predicting a Romney landslide to on the air fiascoes of political operatives like Karl Rove challenging on air reporting.

I’ve watched C-SPAN abut as much as anyone over the years. It’s common to hear callers thanking C-SPAN for being fair and providing a place for civilized discourse, they are considered a welcome contrast to the polemical debates and constant bickering at other cable channels. I have a different opinion. I believe C-SPAN is one […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
What will you tell a young black boy if someone who headed a white supremacist organization for most of his life replaces the first non-white President? What will you tell sane people that after Wall Street and the big banks crippled the world economy, Republicans nominate a hedge fund leverage buy-out specialist as their candidate?

I suppose I’m stretching the word journalists here, but here are some of the television and print people reporting on the news who are obviously in the tank for Mitt Romney. Mark Halperin, Sr. editor at Time Magazine, was granted an exclusive interview with Mitt Romney back in May. It was softball after softball, the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
CNN has a major problem. For whatever reason, CNN has chosen to deceive the American public. Within a week of the deadly attack in Benghazi, someone found a journal of Ambassador Stevens at the U.S. compound and gave it to CNN. CNN reported the contents of the diary on national television without revealing it was […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Eight days after the Benghazi attacks, CNN’s Anderson Cooper inadvertently outlined the political strategy that Republicans would follow for the next month. On September 19th, Cooper gave “exclusive new details” using unnamed sources to describe Benghazi in the months before the attack. Speaking to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Cooper asks whether there should be “an […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
On a scale of 1-10, 10 being highly positive stories favorable to the Mormon Church, here’s a run-down of CNN’s coverage of Mormonism this year. You’ll notice that CNN hasn’t run a fair and balanced story (unbiased journalism is rated a 5) on Mormonism since Mitt Romney secured the Republican nomination on May 29th. 10 Marriott head […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
How could the mainstream media miss the biggest story of the year? Were they distracted by the shiny object, Clint Eastwood’s bumbling and insulting performance, we’re they rutted in the traditional narrative of covering the acceptance speech of a presidential candidate and didn’t see it, or did they just decide to pass on a story […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
CNN, currently owned by Time Warner, gave right wing extremist Pat Buchanan a platform for years. Buchanan, a self-described white separatist, was a “happy warrior” who disguised his hateful rhetoric with a hearty laugh. His career ended up in the potty known as Fox News. CNN gave John Birch extremist Glenn Beck his television start, providing […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
CNBC, the political birther of the CNBC-T Party, hasn’t exactly tried to hide its antipathy for President Obama and Democrats. Despite mountains of proof that Democrats are better for the economy and the stock market than Republicans, for ideological reasons, CNBC professes a libertarian philosophy and pushes a far right economic agenda. This has never […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Dinesh D’Souza was born in Bombay, India and came to America as a 17 year-old exchange student. Then he never left. D’Souza had no special technical skills or talents and, under Mitt Romney’s immigration plan, would never have gotten citizenship, but somehow he managed to get his green card. He has spent the last thirty […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Neil Munro is an example of what happens when Republicans stop yelling at their television sets and go out in public.

Today, Munro didn’t cover the news, he decided to become the news when he carelessly belched out […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This morning, Joe Scarborough, former Florida congressman and current host of MSNBC”s Morning Joe, let loose a barrage of attacks against the N.Y. Times for having the temerity to interview Mitt Romney’s neighbors to see what they think of him.

Two examples; The Scott Walker Recall in Wisconsin: Over $50 million was spent trying to keep the highly unpopular Republican governor in office. Most of it was used for negative television ads against Walker’s opponent. Most of it came from out of state. As Glenn Thrush at Politico writes, “Cash doesn’t talk in 2012, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I know, I know, Campbell Brown worked at CNN, she can’t be a Republican. Tell that to Greta Sustern, Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs, Pat Buchanan, Ed Henry, John Roberts, and Bill Hemmer, all of whom have jumped to Fox News. CNN isn’t Fox News’ competitor, they’re it’s farm team. Then there’s the fact that Campbell […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Campbell Brown, former television personality for CNN had some rather harsh things to say about President Obama and his “condescending” attitude toward women. It struck me as oddly partisan, she is after all marrried to a Dan Senor, a top adviser to Mitt Romney, but I thought I’d check it out for myself. Nope, nothing Brown said […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A week ago, Mitt Romney claimed that the media was biased against him. He said the media was part of a ”vast left-wing conspiracy“. He was wrong. Howard Kurtz sets him straight.

Despite being under investigation in Great Britain for illegal activities, Australian media titan and the owner of Fox News Rupert Murdoch is still trying to influence the American political system.

After claiming for two weeks he had the goods on President Obama, discredited flim-flam man Donald Trump took to the cameras to declare victory. Victory for what? Proving himself wrong, I guess. Meanwhile, NBC, owned by GE, is taking heat for giving this hater a platform to spew his drudge. Historian Douglas Brinkley has had […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
