Our news media are so overwhelmingly obsequious with the Democrats that Hillary Clinton can imply the relatives of the Americans killed in Benghazi are liars on national TV, and no one in the press blinks an eye or finds it newsworthy.

ABC is about to host another one of those hide-and-seek Saturday night Democrat debates. There is something very ironic here: It was on this network where she made that outrageous statement.

On the first Sunday after the San Bernardino attacks, CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter ignored that in favor of a one-hour program focused on Donald Trump. Then on December 13, Stelter talked to al-Jazeera host (and former CNN anchor) Ali Velshi, and again he skipped over the murders of San Bernardino. Syed Farook? Tashfeen Malik? Stelter's only villain worth discussing was Trump.

Stelter failed to ask the al-Jazeera staffer about the bizarre opinion by an al-Jazeera staffer that mass murderer Malik should not have pictured without her burqa. It was “disrespectful” to the mass shooter. Stelter only felt the pain of Muslim journalists, that they don’t have a “Muslim Jorge Ramos.” In other words, Muslims need an aggressive loudmouth leftist activist or better yet, a leftist activist group of reporters.

Washington Post drama critic Peter Marks promoted liberal actor George Takei and his new (failing) musical on Broadway about the internment of Japanese Americans. Neither man breathed a word in the paper about Franklin Roosevelt. Instead, it topically turned on Donald Trump: “Takei would dearly love it if the people stirring up a new round of paranoia would come to Allegiance and face the illuminating music.”

Marks also failed to tell readers that Takei – who was interned as a boy with his parents – viciously attacked Justice Clarence Thomas in July in a TV interview. “He is a clown in blackface sitting on the Supreme Court. He gets me that angry. He doesn't belong there... this man does not belong on the Supreme Court. He is an embarrassment. He is a disgrace to America.”

Americans are infatuated with celebrities, but unfortunately for the Left, that love doesn’t translate into a popular landslide for the liberal point of view. Celebrity millionaires love to pose as compassionate citizens for the cameras, and it doesn’t matter if anything changes. It doesn't matter if they have a plan. It only matters that they emote.

Wednesday’s New York Times carried the latest in a series of passionate editorials from the unbylined Editorial Board advocating for the gender-confused. The headline was “No Reason to Exclude Transgender Medical Care.”  Their star transgender was a man who calls himself “Our Lady J,” the star of the “acclaimed” musical show Gospel for the Godless, now a screenwriter for the Amazon TV series Transparent.

After all the sound and fury, they admitted The New York Times Company still resists this "progressive" reform of subsidized amputations and hormone "therapy."

Barack Obama wanted 15 minutes of air time on Sunday night, the most heavily watched night of the week, to speak to the nation about the San Bernardino shooting. It was appropriate for the president to request it, and for the networks to grant it, but everyone knew he would say nothing new of substance because on the matter of Islamic terrorism, he never does.

And he didn’t. And in so not doing, he wowed the press again. The stenographers underlined his good intentions.

USA Today released a poll on Monday that repeated a poll from just two months ago to underscore a majority oppose defunding of Planned Parenthood. But to update it, the newspaper decided to ask if “Heated political rhetoric about Planned Parenthood and abortion bear some of the responsibility for what happened" in the Colorado Springs shooting. They found 46 percent agreed to blame pro-lifers, and 36 percent disagreed.

Susan Page explained how they built on accused shooter Robert Lewis Dear’s alleged words about “baby parts” to blame rhetoric for the violence:

On Friday's All Things Considered, NPR anchor Robert Siegel began the "Week in Politics" segment with a serious focus on San Bernardino, but he "couldn't resist" creating a tag-team mockery of conservative presidential candidate Ben Carson for pronouncing Hamas like it rhymed with "Thomas." Like Morning Joe, these media elites wanted to claim he said "hummus," which is funnier.

On Wednesday, Washington Post book editor Ron Charles raved over a French novel called The Age of Reinvention. The headline on the front of the Style section was “A French tale of Islamophobia and deception that feels eerily timely.”

Charles explained “it has taken more than two years for Karine Tuil’s sensational tale of Islamophobia to drift across the Atlantic. Now, though, in a horrific coincidence, her novel arrives as Paris is bleeding and the Republican presidential candidates are giddily stringing barbed wire along our borders. If I didn’t know better, I’d guess this story had been written within the past 24 hours.”
