April 6th, 2019 12:15 PM

Hypocrites: Stelter Justifies DNC Banning Fox from Hosting 2020 Debate
March 6th, 2019 3:19 PM
The Washington Post’s Paul Farhi broke news Wednesday afternoon that the Democratic National Committee would be banning the Fox News Channel from hosting a 2020 presidential primary debate in light of the rabidly anti-Fox hit job by The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer.

Chris Wallace Slams CNN’s Jim Acosta, Who ‘Embarrassed Himself Today’
November 7th, 2018 11:51 PM
Most people don’t burn their bridges until after they’ve crossed them, but Jim Acosta seems to have no trouble doing that while he’s still going across. At least, that’s the way it seemed when CNN’s chief White House correspondent got into a heated exchange with President Trump during the press conference on Wednesday regarding the approaching immigrant caravan. Soon after the clash ended,…

CNN's State of the Union…

Salon Writer: ‘Partial-Birth Abortion’ a ‘Medically Nonsensical Term'
October 22nd, 2016 10:08 AM
The liberals who thought Chris Wallace did a bang-up job as moderator of the third presidential debate were judging strictly by appearances, contended Daily Kos’s Laura Clawson and Salon’s Gary Legum in separate articles. Clawson pooh-poohed the praise for Wallace, sneering that he “really wasn’t all that. Unless the ‘that’ is ‘a purveyor of right-wing talking points masked as “fair and balanced…
