There was some entertaining crybabying over the weekend. Very entertaining. Apparently, two of America’s most dishonest and disreputable journalists are pretty upset over the fact that Americans no longer trust the government and the media. This Sunday on “Meet the

Do you hate dancing horses and think Mormons should have more “hoes”? Do you dream of smelling Beyoncé’s neck? Do you insist mitts are something to be worn and not written on a birth certificate? If you said “yes” to

After Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a cartoon graphic of a bomb to illustrate Iranian progress on their nuclear weapons program, the leftist media put its focus directly where it belonged: on the graphic of the bomb. Not the

The Hillary Clinton State Department has finally come up with an honest answer to reporters on its disgraceful failure to protect our ambassador to Libya: “F*** off.” In an email exchange this morning with Buzzfeed’s Michael Hastings, Clinton spokesperson Philippe

When the “Occupy” movement began a year ago, many initially dismissed it as a gathering of harmless college students. But the late Andrew Breitbart saw in the movement professional left-wing anarchists and radicals who sought to use the “Occupy” protests

Yesterday Gov. Mitt Romney said he was “outraged” at the attacks on our Egyptian embassy and that Obama’s quick apology to the attackers was disgraceful. Today, BuzzFeed is running a drive-by story in which “very senior Republican foreign policy” wonks take

On the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on American soil, news of attacks against Americans overseas created a social media firestorm — except on a site dedicated to trendsetting in social media. Ben Smith’s BuzzFeed Politics has written

Left-leaning site BuzzFeed has called the future debates for Barack Obama. No, this isn’t a satirical piece, this is media bias. The three presidential debates, which begin in three short weeks, mark Mitt Romney’s best chance to turn the 2012 election in

Buzzfeed has now decided to create a distraction from the horrible economic news by trolling; they have reported that Pat Robertson, who campaigned with Mitt Romney this past weekend in Virginia, cracked a joke on his 700 Club’s “Bring it

On Saturday, Gov. Mitt Romney talked about resistance at the Democratic National Convention to re-inserting a mention of God in the party platform. “For me,” said Romney, “the Pledge of Allegiance and placing our hand over our heart reminds us

Scott Lamb over at Buzzfeed decided to write a simple article about the horrendous Tweets aimed at Sandra Fluke. He made a mistake. He included one targeting Breitbart News’ own Dana Loesch, thus exposing the equal amount of hatred aimed

No one works harder to protect Obama than Ben Smith’s BuzzFeed Politics, but the Daily Show’s Jon Stewart was so outrageously misleading and dishonest in an attack on Mitt Romney yesterday that even Ben Smith’s BenSmithers felt compelled to record

BenSmithing Ben Smith and his BenSmither-in-training, McKay Coppins, have officially gone off the deep end at the anti-gay BuzzFeed Politics. Yesterday, I wrote about the McCarthyism being practiced by NBC and the Associated Press as a hysterical reaction to Team Romney’s

I don’t know what else to call this, other than a lie. Should I play nice and say it sounds like the President is being just a little disingenuous? Perhaps he didn’t know what was on his own web site.

“HECKLED! HECK, PAUL RYAN HECKLED BY HECKLING HECKLERS!” That sums up the mainstream media’s coverage of Paul Ryan’s successful visit to the Iowa State Fair on the weekend. Because a couple of left-wing lunatics rushed the stage, apparently punching a campaign

BuzzFeed Politics, which presents itself as a nonpartisan news outlet, has deemed the “heckling” of a Republican candidate far more newsworthy than physical violence against his staff.  In a story titled “Ryan Heckled At First Solo Event,” author Zeke Miller

Plainly the long knives are out among the left-media already. All media hands have been called on deck to cut Rep. Paul Ryan to pieces before he sets one foot on the campaign trail. As for Buzzfeed, they’ve stooped to

Anonymous Source is a busy person, but not busy enough to provide completely unsourced quotes to Buzzfeed in an attempt to pit Sarah Palin against Paul Ryan in the wake of the VP announcement.  But aides were quick Saturday to

Buzzfeed insinuates that Mitt Romney has distanced himself from his faith to the point of not practicing his religion, in the name of politics, and therefore has no character. All evidence suggests otherwise, unless you consider standard media talking points against Romney as evidence. Opening

Ben Smith of Buzzfeed recently wrote about campaign donations — both Romney’s and Obama’s — for this presidential election. In an otherwise fairly informative piece, Smith feeds into one of the myths about the 2008 election, the claim that Obama’s

Over at the anti-gay BuzzFeed Politics, a couple of its writers pretended to know what the next phase of Romney’s game-plan is, but in doing so, dropped this juicy nugget today [emphasis mine]: The trouble [for the Romney campaign] began

Andrew Kaczynski, following BuzzFeed’s pattern of BenSmithing on behalf of President Obama, tweeted today that Mitt Romney’s attacks on the Obama administration national security leaks are unjustified. Why? Here’s what Kaczynski had to say: Mitt Romney hasn’t always been so

When CNN’s Roland Martin sent out a series of Tweets about an underwear commercial starring soccer standout David Beckham GLAAD snapped into action. The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation claimed Martin’s Tweets were tantamount to gay bashing, and Martin

Wednesday, Buzzfeed publisheda document and a brief video clip to suggest that Romney was still CEOof Bain Capital after 1999. Here’s the description that goes with thearticle: Mitt Romney has spent much of the last week arguing that, despitesome public

Yesterday, inexplicable Romney surrogate John Sununu responded to critics of the campaign by outlining their “Braveheart” strategy. Sununu referenced a scene in the film where Mel Gibson’s character William Wallace held his forces back until a critical, and most advantageous,

Yesterday, I showed you how Slate’s Dave Weigel and NBC’s Peter Alexander worked together to journOlist away the Romney campaign’s compelling and troubling evidence that the Obama White House has used billions in taxpayer dollars to pay off campaign supporters.

James Fallows at The Atlantic is a big fan of anonymous quotes in hisblog posts. Just last month I noted that he was using an anonymous (andfalse, it turned out) quote to accuse Mitt Romney of being a “liar.” Shortly

A BuzzFeed Community contributor included former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on a list of the top-ten worst running mates in presidential history and parroted the much-debunked conventional wisdom about Palin.  Palin is put on the same list as true vice

And now, presenting the most Obama-sycophantic slobbering fool of a reporter yet extant: Michael Hastings of Buzzfeed. Hastings, whose simpering style would not remind anyone of John Wayne, has now attacked Dinesh D’Souza in his inimitably babyish way: “He’s a
