Bozell & Graham Column: Howard Stern’s Pitch to Hillary
Sex-crazed radio shock jock Howard Stern has an impossible new fantasy that he can’t keep to himself: He wants an in-depth interview with Hillary Clinton. Stern, who left broadcast radio for satellite radio so he could be as raunchy as possible, to make his millions dwelling on the lowest common denominator for the demographic Men 18-34, has a less-than-zero chance of scoring a Hillary interview…

Blogger: Trump and Ryan Represent Different Types of Evil
There’s a famous line attributed to Henry Kissinger about the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s: “It's a pity they can't both lose.” Left-wing Washington Monthly blogger David Atkins adapted Kissinger’s quip for his Tuesday post about whether “vicious, ignorant megalomaniac” Donald Trump is “more contemptible” than “steely-eyed devotee of Ayn Rand” Paul Ryan.

AP: Al Gore Would Likely Have Won in 2000 If 'Undervotes' Counted
History is apparently subject to revision without notice and without basis at the Associated Press.

ABC, NBC Tout Trump Plane Flub, Ignore Hillary Skewing FBI Statement
To ABC and NBC, a Donald Trump misstatement is worth reporting multiple times, but a falsehood by Hillary Clinton isn’t worth a second of coverage.

Howard Fineman Derides ‘Dangerous,’ ‘Insane Traitor’ Trump
Howard Fineman is a fan of nuance when it comes to some politicians, but not others.

CBS to Hillary’s VP: Trash Trump; NBC to Trump’s VP: Trash Trump

Following the recent revelations from the Wall Street Journal, that the US payed Iran a large sum of money at the same time as they released American hostages, has led many to believe to US payed a ransom for their release.

AP's Opening Makes Awful Manufacturing Report Seem Positive
The press's reporting on the Obama era's awful economy has been nothing short of abysmal. Looking at the bigger picture on July 25, MRC Business's Julia Seymour named "6 key indicators of (a) weak economy" the press has glossed over or ignored since the recession ended seven years ago.

MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews was in rare from on Thursday night as he both factually tried to link the 1964 and 2016 presidential elections and appeared astonished that there could be an “intervention” (as has been reported for Donald Trump) for something other than “a dope problem or a booze problem.
