The list of unhinged statements and rants coming from left-leaning journalists in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris is getting miles long.

25 Years After the Berlin Wall, How the Media Covered Communism
November 8th, 2014 2:11 PM
Twenty-five years ago, the largely peaceful revolutions of 1989 — epitomized by the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9 of that year — ended the grip of communism in Eastern Europe.

Another Tilted 'Town Hall' for Hillary on CNN: Five Questions from the
June 18th, 2014 10:42 AM
When CNN held a “town hall” meeting for Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, the evidence suggests it would be stacked to the Left. Our analysis of “town hall” presidential debates has shown a persistent two-to-one tilt of liberal questions versus conservative questions from audience members.

June 20th, 2013 11:06 AM
File this under: "She can dish it out but can't take it."
Tuesday, the Turkish newspaper Takvim published a fictional interview of CNN's Christiane Amanpour said to have taken place in Atlanta.

That didn't stop Amanpour from tweeting her anger at the fake interview while implicitly…
