On Thursday's CNN Newsroom, during a discussion of GOP presidential candidate Bobby Jindal's official announcement speech, CNN political reporter Sara Murray provocatively asserted that some of Jindal's pitch was aimed at GOP "core" members who want immigrants to "act like every other white person in America."

Jabbing Jindal: The Media’s Worst Attacks on the Louisiana Governor
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal’s expected jump into the 2016 GOP presidential nomination race is bound to be met by skepticism, if not an outright dismissal, by the liberal media if their reaction to his 2009 State of the Union response and his advocacy of fiscally and conservative views is any guide. Some in the media have even stooped to make an issue of his Indian-American heritage.

Nets Omit How Democratic Gov. in S.C. Raised Confederate Flag in 1962
In their coverage on Monday night of the calls by South Carolina officials to remove the Confederate flag from the State Capitol’s grounds, the major broadcast networks failed to note the full context of the flag’s history in the Palmetto State and how it was a Democratic Governor who first hoisted it above the Capitol dome in 1962.

Limbaugh Nails It Predicting Social Media Disrupting Pro Sports
Remember that great scene from the 1987 movie "Broadcast News" when nebbish TV reporter Aaron Altman (Albert Brooks) was at home watching breaking news of a military flareup involving Libya while he phoned in tips for coverage to producer Jane Craig (Holly Hunter), who conveyed them word for word to neophyte anchor Tom Grunick (William Hurt), leading Altman to utter the best line in the movie…
New Yorker Editor Blurs Dylann Roof With Hateful Tweets at Obama
David Remnick, the former Washington Post correspondent who now runs The New Yorker, is one of the most unctuous Obama boosters still going in the liberal media. The Charleston shooting, for Remnick, was another occasion to attach mass shooter Dylann Roof to people who hurled “epithets” at Obama on Twitter.
Hillary Smears Trump Remarks As a 'Trigger' for Unstable Mass Shooters
In an interview in Nevada, Hillary Clinton oddly smeared Donald Trump with the mass shooting in Charleston, South Carolina. In an interview with Nevada journalist Jon Ralston, she implied Dylann Roof may have been “triggered” by remarks like Trump’s statements on Mexico sending the worst Mexicans to America.

MSNBC Guest Slimes: SC Shooting 'Deeply Ingrained' in U.S. History
MSNBC anchor Alex Wagner brought on two guests, Thursday, to broaden the tragic shooting in South Carolina to include a uniquely American culture.

Nets Covered Candidate Obama's 2008 Europe Trip 13X More Than Jeb’s
Back in 2008, the three broadcast evening newscasts showered then-Democratic candidate Barack Obama with good press during his trip to Europe that July, giving it a total of 92 minutes over an eight-day period (July 20 to July 27, 2008).

Boosting Bush: Liberal Media Pushes Jeb to Whack Conservatives
Jeb Bush’s entry into the 2016 GOP primary race hands the liberal media an establishment candidate that they enjoy using as a tool to whack conservatives. Bush’s stances on immigration, Common Core and other issues have drawn praise from the likes of Chris Matthews who cooed: “He wants to run on his own terms. He’s not going to become a wacko bird. He’s not going to join the clown car...he…
Preelection FBI Study Team Admits Media Distorted It — 6 Months Later
In late September 2014, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released "A Study of Active Shooter Incidents in the United States, 2000-2013." To say the least, the report's issuance, timed six weeks before the midterm elections, and its topic ("a specific type of shooting situation law enforcement and the public may face") were curious. Given the press's inclination to sensationalize and…
ABC's Good Morning America on Thursday ignored a new report indicating that Hillary Clinton's favors for donors to her family's foundation go back to her days as a U.S. Senator. CBS This Morning allowed 42 seconds on the Clinton Foundation scandal in general, but didn't specifically mention the new allegations. "Former President Bill Clinton is defending his family's charity and rejecting…
MSNBC's Alex Wagner devoted a full segment on her June 10 Now program to kvetching with Planned Parenthood chief Cecile Richards about how great an injustice it was that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals refused to strike down a Texas abortion-clinic regulation bill which had resulted in the shuttering of clinics which fell below code.
