When AP reporter/climate activist Seth Borenstein assembles a “fact check” on global warming, you be sure the “deniers” are going to take some licks. The headline was “Most GOP candidates flunk climate science.” Borenstein assembled a panel of (non-political?) scientists who just happened to find the Democrats were much more “factual.”

"At the request of The Associated Press, eight climate and biological scientists graded for scientific accuracy what a dozen top candidates said in debates, interviews and tweets, using a 0 to 100 scale." Hillary Clinton scored a 94; Ted Cruz got a 6.

The Latin Grammy awards on Thursday night came with an anti-Donald Trump protest. The Guadalajara-based pop-rock band Mana performed a song with San Jose-based Los Tigres del Norta called "Somos Más Americanos" ("We Are More American") and then unfurled a banner that read "Latinos unidos no voten por los racistas [Latinos, united, don't vote for the racists]."

Rolling Stone elaborated: "The Maná-covered Tigres del Norte ballad appears in Cama Incendiada, Maná's Latin Grammy-winning 2015 record for Best Pop/Rock Album. 'I want to remind the gringo that I didn't cross the border, the border crossed me,' goes the Spanish-language song against a menacing polka beat. 'America was born free, but the man divided it / They drew the line so I could cross it, and then call me an invader.'"

The Public Broadcasting Service isn’t really a representative of the Public, as everyone should know. It’s the defender of liberal elite opinion, no matter what the polls say. This week, the polls are stacking up against President Obama on his ISIS policy and his Syrian-refugee policy. But the PBS NewsHour stands with Obama and in horror at the current Republican Party.

Both liberal Mark Shields and fake-conservative David Brooks agreed Friday night that today’s GOP presidential candidate are horrendous, especially compared to how George W. Bush now looks like Abe Lincoln now on Islam.

Washington Post Style section columnist Lonnae O’Neal sounded almost intentionally clueless about Charlie Sheen’s admission he’s HIV-positive. “Bipolar disorder, my husband guessed. Yes, or perhaps schizophrenia, I said.”

But he showed up on NBC and announced it’s an STD, and O’Neal is stunned. “My reaction was swift and twofold. First: What!? HIV hadn't even crossed my mind.”

If Donald Trump were demanding comedians stop making fun of him – even demanding videos be removed from the Internet and asking for personal phone numbers to intimidate the comedians to cease and desist – would that be a news story? Odds are very high. But the Judicial Watch blog says Hillary Clinton’s people have demanded the comedy club the Laugh Factory take down a brief video of Hillary jokes and asked for phone numbers of the comedians. Will the media breathe a word?

The fact-checking of presidential debates by NPR remains uneven. At the last Republican debate, NPR assigned three reporters to “correct” four GOP claims. On Sunday night, NPR assigned only Danielle Kurtzleben to assess one claim, by Hillary Clinton, and she asserted it was pretty much okay.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press fact check found Mrs. Clinton made a claim about gun deaths that was "highly exaggerated" and “appears to be unsupported on all counts.” NPR never located that one.

In the latest iteration of “Caitlyn” Jenner discrimination, the Los Angeles Times reports Jenner asked for tickets to the Democratic debate in Des Moines on Saturday night, but was denied by the president of CBS News himself.

“Caitlyn Jenner, who as Bruce Jenner was a Drake Relays champion in 1976, was in Des Moines visiting the university campus with her reality show producers,” the Times reports “Although a Republican, she asked for a ticket to the debate.”

The November 16 issue of Time carried a book excerpt from former Newsweek editor Jon Meacham’s new book lauding former president George H.W. Bush – especially in contrast to "divisive" and unreasonable right-wingers like Newt Gingrich.

The headline was “The fractious GOP tormenting Jeb Bush took shape during the presidency of his father.” Uh, “tormenting”? Can’t there just be a debate? Or would Time suggest Bernie Sanders is “tormenting” Hillary Clinton from the left right now?

The prayer-haters aren't just writing from Canada. At the leftist blog the Daily Kos, the diarist known as "1lan" wrote about "When 'prayer' is the problem." You see, religion -- all religion -- should be held responsible when radical Muslims commit terrorism. He can't stand the social media being stuffed with calls for and mentions of prayer for Paris: "Aren't people like you the source of the problem?"
