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

Oh no, not Bert & Ernie!: "With American children already falling behind, public broadcasting supporters fear Bert and Ernie could become a casualty of the political wars."

-- NBC's Lisa Myers in reporting on efforts to defund NPR.

But you have to raise taxes: Host Bob Schieffer: "You have a reputation as a straight talker, I think. Do you believe that the budgetary problems across this country can be resolved without raising taxes?"

Gov. Chris Christie: "Let's take New Jersey, for instance, Bob. We raised taxes and fees 115 times in the last eight years. And we still have one of the worst budget problems in America."

-- An exchange on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Following Obama's lead?: "They (the new Republican freshmen) are not awe-struck by Washington (a good thing). They are not remotely humbled by the hallowed and marbled halls (still good). Instead, they come with the arrogance of absolute conviction (dangerous). ...What's the problem• It's their way of doing business. It's their conviction that compromise is bad. 'They could use a dose of humility,' says one senior White House adviser."

-- CNN senior political analyst Gloria Borger in a CNN.com column.
