NFL Discovers Character Matters

The 2010 NFL draft showed that it's not enough to be a star football player anymore. Character counts now too. Tim Tebow, and the Denver Bronco's drafting him as first-round pick, was the big story out of the NFL draft.

MSNBC Airs Ad Casting McConnell As Criminal

Isn't the MSM supposedly opposed to the coarsening of the political dialogue?  We've all heard the hand-wringing about the mean ways those awful Tea Partiers and their ilk have depicted Pres.

ABC: 'Mostly Peaceful' Immigration Protests vs. 'Very Ugly' Tea Party

On Saturday's Good Morning America, reporter Mike Von Fremd downplayed the violence of protesters against Arizona's new immigration law. He spun, "Riot police were called in to try and control demonstrators protesting outside the capital.
