On Saturday, the Obama White House responded to a petition with over 320,000 signatures begging the president for an interview with leftist HBO host Bill Maher. "Plenty of us around here watch Real Time because we admire Bill’s passion for spreading the science on climate change, asking tough questions about money in politics, and trying to burst 'the bubble' where some of our politicians — and…

CNN and New Yorker pundit Jeffrey Toobin considers Antonin Scalia “a perfect model for everything that President Obama should avoid in a successor.” The late SCOTUS justice, asserted Toobin in the New Yorker, “lived within the sealed bubble of contemporary conservative thought” and “devoted his professional life to making the United States a less fair, less tolerant, and less admirable democracy…

CNN host and Washington Post columnist Fareed Zakaria lived up to his reputation as someone who’s always willing to trash conservatives and praise liberals at the top of his Sunday morning CNN program by blasting the GOP’s “unwillingness to produce serious proposals” verus the “responsible” Democrats who “buttress their policy with real research.”

Appearing on the Powerhouse Panel for the Sunday edition of ABC’s This Week, News One Now anchor Roland Martin chided those in the Republican Party that have animosity toward Donald Trump because “they invited evil in and now evil is taking over” that began by standing in firm opposition to President Barack Obama and having supposedly accepted Trump’s “whole birther deal.”

On today's Meet the Press, Chuck Todd helped perpetuate the myth that Planned Parenthood provides mammograms. Interviewing Donald Trump, Todd said "Democrats will say the money they give to Planned Parenthood does not go to abortions. That the money they give to Planned Parenthood only goes to other women's health issues including mammograms and things like that." Let's make this absolutely…

The Washington Examiner's Philip Klein is reporting that "Turnout in Nevada's Democratic caucuses dropped by about one third on Saturday as compared to 2008, raising questions about a lack of enthusiasm among the party's voters." There have been precious few other acknowledgments of this in the establishment press. Based on the Democratic Party's less than transparent presentation of the…

Some reporters really want to grade Hillary Clinton on the kindest of curves. The Unstoppable Juggernaut of 2015 won a caucus in Nevada by five points? Chris Cillizza of The Washington Post oozed “Hillary Clinton deserves a massive amount of credit for winning Nevada.” Massive!

Liberal Alan Colmes, apparently miffed at people who have criticized President Barack Obama for not attending the funeral of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, asserted earlier today that GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz would not be there. Colmes got it wrong. Cruz was there, and it was known for quite some time that he would be there. Colmes, since the words "I'm sorry" are apparently…

With Donald Trump winning on Saturday night in South Carolina, the liberal pundits of MSNBC commenced their latest efforts to tie Trump’s views and questioning President Barack Obama’s religion to the rest of the conservative movement as Andrea Mitchell whined that the collective GOP “is looking for is anyone who will absolutely be crude and rude and take on Barack Obama.”

Commenting on the Nevada Democratic caucuses during Saturday’s World News Tonight, ABC chief anchor and former Clinton administration official George Stephanopoulos gushed that her win over Bernie Sanders placed her “back on a solid path to the nomination” prior to the socialist Senator’s rise up through the primary states thus far.

In the immediate aftermath of Hillary Clinton’s win over Bernie Sanders in Saturday’s Nevada Democratic Caucuses, numerous members of the liberal media rushed to proclaim the day as “the start of a long run of victories” for Clinton that will cause Bernie Sanders to “go back to the drawing board” to keep his “rebellion” moving.

Mary Poppins actor and 1960s television show host Dick Van Dyke joined Hardball host Chris Matthews just after the doors opened Saturday afternoon for the Nevada Democratic caucuses and before serenading Matthews with a tune from the famous 1964 film, he touted his support for “New Deal Democrat” Bernie Sanders.

From a flawed premise, it’s easy to reach a silly conclusion. TNR’s Jeet Heer proved that in a Thursday piece in which he argued that “racism [is now] integral to right-wing ideology” and that therefore Donald Trump is authentically conservative -- a “natural evolutionary product” of long-term trends in movement conservatism. “If Republican voters were anywhere near as diverse as the Democrats…

West Virginia became the nation's 26th state with a "right-to-work" law a bit over a week ago. At the same time, it also repealed "prevailing wage" requirements for public construction projects. The idea that the formerly Democrat-dominated Mountain State would pass either item was unthinkable as little as a decade ago. That was before the Obama administration began its war on coal-powereed…
