Here are some of the latest outrageous, sometimes humorous, quotes from or about the liberal media, courtesy of the Media Research Center:

Praising Fidel: "From a tiny island, a larger-than-life personality. ... Castro knew life is a stage and played the part of the dashing revolutionary, coming to New York, getting rock star treatment."

-- ABC's Diane Sawyer on "Good Morning America."

Fidel's "successes": "His record has been a mix of great social achievements but a dismal economic performance that has mired most Cubans in poverty. He succeeded in establishing universal health care, providing free education through college and largely rooting out racism."

-- New York Times reporter James C. McKinley Jr., writing online.

Another Keith rant: "If you believe in the seamless mutuality of government and big business, come out and say it! There is a dictionary definition, one word, that describes that toxic blend. You're a fascist! Get them to print you a T-shirt with 'fascist' on it! ... You, sir, have no place in a government of the people, by the people, for the people. The lot of you are symbolic descendants of the despotic middle managers of some banana republic to whom 'freedom' is an ironic brand name, a word you reach for when you want to get away with its opposite."

-- MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, commenting on the National Security Agency's terrorist surveillance program.
