Matthews: Cruz Is ‘Baghdad Bob’ Showing ‘Narcissism’ Facing Boehner
Fresh off accusing Ted Cruz of being a political bigamist, MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews stated Thursday night that Cruz has put on a “Baghdad Bob performance this week” for failing to concede the Republican presidential nomination to Donald Trump while also displaying “political narcissism” in responding to former Speaker John Boehner’s Lucifer analogy.
WashPost to Pastor: How Would You Treat A Demonically-Possessed Cruz?
The Washington Post's Philip Bump followed the Huffington Post's example on Thursday in semi-seriously pursuing whether Ted Cruz is, in fact, "Lucifer in the flesh," as former House Speaker John Boehner recently put it. But instead of turning to a Satanist, the journalist consulted with a pastor/exorcist, even though he admitted that "of course there was no truth" to the Republican's jab at the…

NBC Scolds Cruz: D.C.'s 'Most Hated Man' ‘Needs Help’ From GOP
Thursday night’s NBC Nightly News broadcast tried to shame Ted Cruz for earning the wrath of former House speaker John Boehner. During a speech at Stanford University yesterday, Boehner told students that he would vote for Cruz “over his dead body” and “that miserable son of a bitch” was “Lucifer in the flesh.” That crass characterization didn’t earn Boehner any harsh words from NBC but it did…

CNN's Camerota Hounds Fiorina Over Outsourcing, 'Stunt' Role
CNN's Alisyn Camerota tossed mostly hardballs during her interview of Carly Fiorina on Thursday's New Day, especially on the issue of outsourcing.

The anchor followed…

Nets Blast Cruz/Fiorina Ticket: ‘Hail Mary Pass’ is 'Bound to Fail'
On Thursday, all three network morning shows took out the long knives and savaged Ted Cruz for naming Carly Fiorina as his running mate.

Noah Gushes: ‘Cute’ Clinton ‘Crushes’ ‘Douchebag' Trump’s ‘Sexism’
2012’s “War on Women” line of attack by the Democrats and the media appears to be back in full-swing, even before the party has elected its nominee.

Instead of talking about more important breaking news, the networks, cable news, and late-night talk shows…

How About Bill? Hayes Suggests Hastert Abuse Continued Beyond HS
As far-left MSNBC hosts go--an admittedly low bar--I'll admit to having found Chris Hayes a relatively fair and decent proponent of his misguided policies. But he did two things tonight that made me lose respect for him. First, he literally laughed in the face of Rick Tyler and called him "preposterous," when Cruz advocate Tyler called Donald Trump a "northeastern liberal progressive." This…
Slate Writer: Blue-Collar Whites Too Racist For Modern Democrats
Last week, a long Vox essay by Emmett Rensin asserted that “contempt” for supposedly “stupid” blue-collar whites -- in response to the exodus of those voters from the Democratic party -- has become pervasive among liberals.

AP Story on Anti-Trump Violence Explains Why So Few Trust the Media
An April 17 Associated Press story reported that "Just 6 percent of people say they have a lot of confidence in the media." AP writers Carole Feldman and Emily Swanson complained that "perceptions of inaccuracy and bias, fueled in part by Americans' skepticism about what they read on social media."
