The shocking personal connections between D.C. Democrats and the media

The cozy relationship between Democrats in Washington and the mainstream media became even more apparent after Obama advisor Susan Rice found herself back in the news recently.

After revelations that Rice was behind the "unmasking" of names of Trump associates in U.S. intelligence reports, ABC News ignored the story. That was because Rice has a close, personal connection ABC News that most were unaware of. She isn't the only Washington Democrat with friends and family in the same media tasked to report on them.

Liberals, the Boston Marathon Bombing, and ObamaPhones

As most of us have seen, the Boston Bombing not only reminded us of the evil of Islamic terrorists, but also of the hatred and incompetence of the liberal left.

In a series of reports for Examiner.com, we detailed how CNN and Esquire Magazine jumped to blame the "right wing" for the bombing, how The New York Times tried to blame the GOP, and we raised the possibility that the bombers might have used ObamaPhones to carry out the attack. It will make you think America learned nothing from 9/11.

In addition, most folks aren't aware that one of the Boston bombers spent his time after the attack tweeting lyrics from Eminem and Jay-Z. The media didn't report that much, but if the Tsarnaevs had tweeted anything from Ted Nugent, we wouldn't have heard the end of it. You can read all about it here.

Excuse me, ABC, but your bias is showing

It's no secret that the mainstream media is hopelessly biased against Republican, especially conservative, candidates. It is rare to see it such a painfully obvious way, at the hands of George Stephanopoulos and Diane Sawyer during the recent Republican debate before the New Hampshire primary. Check out the great video above, which includes most of the debate question lowlights. It was, however fun to watch the reaction of the candidates who could barely hide their astonishment over their questions. I wonder why George did not ask if any of the candidates support using nuclear weapons if aliens invade the planet. Like banning contraception, it could happen.

The truth about the Ground Zero mosque imam

TIME Magazine will do whatever it can to push support for the Ground Zero mosque - even cover up the truth about the imam behind it. To find out what TIME didn't report, read my column for Examiner.com by clicking here.

Liberals: The George W. Bush Library will kill kittens!

No wonder newspapers are going out of business. The Dallas Morning News posted an embarrassing story today that reported on the plight of stray kittens that are going to be displaced by the new George W. Bush library being built next to SMU in Dallas. Seriously. It sounds like someone at the very liberal SMU is reaching for any reason to hate on W's library. Liberals have been protesting to SMU regents for years trying to keep it from being built, and they failed. So bring on the kitties.

Xbox helps MSNBC attack Sarah Palin

Liberals have infiltrated the world of video games. It appears no place is safe from their aggressive yet annoying agenda.

Xbox 360 users can access the Xbox Live Network via the internet, which allows users to play games online with others around the world and view all sort of media content, from movies to TV shows to news reports. Since Xbox is owned by Microsoft, MSNBC provides news of interest on the network, most of it pretty straightforward and nonpolitical.

On Monday April 12, 2010, Xbox Live posted a headline showing comedian Tina Fey as Sarah Palin supposedly offering a clip of her recent skit portraying Palin on Saturday Night Live. Such a headline is not unusual; clips of news, viral videos and SNL skits, provided by MSNBC, are common on the Xbox Live Network.

When viewers clicked on the headline, however, what was shown was a clip from an MSNBC news program which showed the SNL skit, but then included the MSNBC host speaking with Ana Marie Cox, an editor from GQ Magazine who basically trashed Palin for two minutes while calling Fey a comedic "genius." She also stated that Fey's skits were one of the main factors why "more than 50% of Americans don't want Palin to be President." She then goes on to say "it's not hard to make fun of Sarah Palin. She says so many things that are untrue or exaggerated...as Tina said, willfully ignorant and woefully unprepared." She then stated that she wondered if such impressions were even necessary "to make Sarah Palin look like a joke."

Of course, Cox showed no concern when she readily admitted that some Americans form their opinions of Palin from Tina Fey and Saturday Night Live rather than from Palin herself. Such "willful ignorance" would be condemned if it came from the Tea Party, but since they were talking about their "enlightened" core viewers, it was celebrated. No opposing views were offered by MSNBC.

Viewers who wanted to see the SNL clip probably didn't expect to see a political discussion, especially one so one-sided. Given the network's liberal bent, using an SNL skit to slip in an attack on Palin upon unsuspecting gamers is a sad low for journalism, but par for the course for MSNBC. 

It was an ugly weekend

You won't hear this in the mainstream media, but eight anti-war protesters were arrested Saturday outside the White House, including Cindy Sheehan (that is her pictured here, not Jimmy Durante). She was screaming into a bullhorn that President Obama was a war criminal.

What you will see and hear is a number of those who protested the health care bill, portrayed as seething savages. At some point, MSNBC will say there were no minorities present in their number, even though there were. If the anti-war crowd and the immigration reform supporters (who marched in D.C. this weekend as well) do get any press, it will be the usual, sympathetic coverage. The media's venom will probably be focused on Texas Rep. Randy Neugebauer, who shouted "It's a baby killer" on the House floor during the health care debate Sunday night. Just wait for it.
