As NewsBusters colleague Kyle Drennan noted today, the liberal media has mobilized their legions to defend embattled U.N.

Obama Asked to Show ID to Vote: Where’s the Outrage at MSNBC

October 26th, 2012 3:38 PM
Over the past several months, MSNBC has been on a tirade criticizing attempts by mostly Republican state legislatures to ensure voting integrity by requiring a photo ID in order to vote.  As NewsBusters has documented, one of the leaders of the anti-ID movement is none other than the host of the 6 p.m. Eastern program Politics Nation, the Rev.

CNN Story So Biased, Obama Ad Trumpets Its Headline

October 9th, 2012 11:14 AM
A July campaign story by CNN's Jim Acosta was so biased that the Obama campaign trumpeted the headline in its new attack ad.

Back in July, Acosta hyped that Mitt Romney's…
