May 30th, 2013 11:12 PM

AP Finally Gets Around to Covering Major Problem with ObamaCare

May 30th, 2013 2:49 PM
While the Associated Press may get something wrong – and omit things on occasion – they’ve admitted one thing that the big three has yet to confirm: Obamacare will cost Americans their health care coverage.  In a story by Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar that was published on May 29, he noted that Americans might find themselves stripped of coverage this fall since their current plans don’t meet the…

Chris Matthews: Obama Scandals Aren't Scandals - They're ‘Kerfuffles

May 28th, 2013 11:34 PM
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews is no longer willing to call the White House troubles involving Benghazi, the Internal Revenue Service, and the leaks investigation "scandals." No, on Tuesday’s Hardball, the host called them “kerfuffles,” once even correcting himself after accidentally referring to what happened at the IRS as a scandal (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Krauthammer: Holder Not Sensing Gravity of Scandal ‘Makes You Wonder

May 28th, 2013 7:35 PM
Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer had some harsh words for Attorney General Eric Holder’s handling of the leak investigation scandal. Appearing on Fox News’s Special Report, Krauthammer said, “The fact that he says that the gravity of the situation didn't sink in until yesterday makes you wonder if he was anesthetized.”

Press Downplays Peaceful Traditional Marriage March, Highlights Sideli

May 28th, 2013 2:55 PM
It isn’t often that 0.065 percent of something becomes its defining characteristic. But that’s what happened in Paris on Sunday. After a peaceful pro-traditional-marriage march had already ended, 96 protesters – less than 0.065 percent of the 150,000 demonstrators – were arrested for refusing to disperse and skirmishing with police. But from the way the media covered the march, one would think…

Sorry, Tom Raum: The Economy Is Not 'Clearly' Recovering

May 27th, 2013 12:14 AM
In "Go Ahead, Invade Their Phone Records: AP Reports Obama Has 'Alleged Scandals' and 'Alleged Misbehavior,'" Tim Graham at NewsBusters noted how Tom Raum at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, claimed that "Alleged misbehavior by the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies gives the GOP something else to talk about and investigate as the economy clearly, if slowly…

CBS's Bob Schieffer: 'How About Someone Other Than Holder' Investigate

May 26th, 2013 1:15 PM
As NewsBusters has been reporting, CBS's Bob Schieffer has been coming down hard on the Obama administration in recent weeks.

AP: 'Obama Refocuses Terror Threat to Pre-9/11 Level' -- But 'Pre

May 26th, 2013 12:16 PM
In case you didn't get the gist of President Obama's Thursday speech at National Defense University, the AP's Robert Burns boiled it down on Saturday, perhaps supportively: "OBAMA REFOCUSES TERROR THREAT TO PRE-9/11 LEVEL." That leaves one annoying detail Burns and Obama ignore: The "pre-9/11 threat level" wasn't that much different from the threat level during the first few years after 9/11…

Go Ahead, Invade Their Phone Records: AP Reports Obama Has 'Alleged Sc

May 25th, 2013 10:55 PM
Forget the Department of Justice surveillance. Associated Press is actually writing about “alleged scandals” and “alleged misbehavior” when it reports on Obama. Somehow we’re not going to take it seriously when former AP employees like Ron Fournier have predicted the AP surveillance was going to make the wire service turn critical of the White House. Tom Raum is still barking with what…

As Stockholm Riots Move Into Fifth Day, Press's Aversion to the M-Word

May 24th, 2013 11:09 PM
A Google News search on "Sweden riots" done tonight at 10 PM ET (not in quotes, sorted by date, with duplicates) returned 314 items. Adding the word "Muslim" to the search reduced the number of results to nine. Fewer than a handful are from establishment press outlets, and one of those only appeared in the search results because a commenter and not the story's writer used the M-word. That…

May 24th, 2013 10:42 AM
Jay Leno continued his humorous attacks on the current White House resident Thursday devoting much of his opening monologue to the various scandals plaguing the Administration. At one point, the NBC Tonight Show host joked, “It is not looking good for President Obama. Today his teleprompter took the fifth.”
