October 9th, 2014 3:22 PM
The three networks routinely fawn over Jimmy Carter as a wise and impressive voice, yet ABC, CBS and NBC were silent when the ex-President trashed his fellow Democrat, Barack Obama, on Tuesday. In an interview with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Carter complained about how Obama handled ISIS: "First of all, we waited too long.

Here We Go: WaPo's Chris Cillizza Says 'It's Virtually Impossible' For

July 22nd, 2014 10:50 AM
It never fails. When the regime of center-right political leader with executive authority begins to implode, the focus is on how and why that person is failing — as it should be. When it becomes clear that a leftist mayor, governor, or president is entering the failure zone, it's because the job is impossible, or the city, state, or nation has become "ungovernable."

June 21st, 2014 4:08 PM
In the aftermath of Megyn Kelly's tough interview with Dick Cheney, the Fox News Channel anchor has received praise from some unusual sources.

NY Times Book Review: Voters Could 'Expunge Sins' by Voting for 'The P

June 14th, 2014 7:25 AM
Jimmy Carter is not a saint. If you doubt that, read Steven Hayward’s The Real Jimmy Carter. But The New York Times never noticed that book. Last Sunday, they boosted Randall Balmer’s Carter book Redeemer, which pitches Carter metaphorically as...Christ-like. It’s bad enough that Balmer uses his book to claim nastily that the Religious Right was organized by the late Paul Weyrich around…

May 15th, 2014 8:20 PM
Don't you love it when liberals look back through history? Who knows what novel interpretations will follow!

What If Fox News Instead of MSNBC Had Pulled This Cinco de Mayo Stunt

May 5th, 2014 7:34 AM
¡Ay caramba! Imagine the cries of offensive ethnic stereotyping or worse if Fox News had observed Cinco de Mayo by having one of its yanqui persons of pallor stagger across the set in a sombrero while chugging from a bottle of tequila? But it happened on MSNBC, so the PC police probably won't make a peep.  At today's transition from Way Too Early to Morning Joe, there pranced producer Louis…

Zbigniew Zings Obama's Weakness On Ukraine: 'Can't Win Military Confli

April 15th, 2014 8:47 AM
Q. How do you know when Barack Obama has set a dubious new record for presidential weakness?  A. When Jimmy Carter's former top adviser mocks his anemic response to an international crisis. On today's Morning Joe, Zbigniew Brzezinski argued that the US needs to discuss with Ukraine the provision of defensive weapons in the face of the Russian threat.  He then mockingly observed: "the…

Chris Matthews on Jimmy Carter's Failure to Cheer Hillary in 2016: A

April 10th, 2014 2:51 PM
Chris Matthews did his best on Wednesday to get Jimmy Carter to fulsomely endorse Hillary Clinton for president in 2016, but just couldn't quite get a satisfying answer. In an interview on Hardball, Matthews began by noting how the former president has been "championing the cause" of "equal rights for women." He pressed, "Has a woman president -- has that time arrived? Obviously talking about…

April 5th, 2014 10:26 AM

Ed Schultz, Chris Christie, and California prisons were other subjects of Miller's mockery in the latest edition of NewsBusted, which you can watch by clicking play on the embed below the page break…

April 3rd, 2014 9:17 PM
