His writing partner John Heilemann agreed and added: “If you think about Hillary Clinton’s story over her life, there’s a lot of material there to…

Md. Governor Does Illegal Immigrants Another Favor, WashPost Buries on
In yet another instance of the Washington Post shielding the Maryland Democratic political establishment, including the party's nominee for governor, editors buried on page B4 of the Saturday, August 30 edition a stunning story about outgoing Gov.

Whoops! MSNBC's Diaz-Balart Blanks on Rick Perry's Name
Of all the names that it would be embarrassing for an MSNBC network host to blank on, Rick Perry's would have to be at the top of the list. How countless many times has the Lean Forward network had fun at Perry's expense over his "whoops" moment during a 2012 presidential debate?
But that unfortunate fate befell Jose Diaz-Balart today, hosting his own new MSNBC show. The topic was the way…

Yet Again WashPost Shields Md. Democratic Gubernatorial Nominee by Bur
The Washington Post is almost certain to endorse liberal Democrat Anthony Brown for Maryland governor. So it's really no surprise that the paper's news reporters and editors have taken an incredibly light touch when it comes to the lieutenant governor's political liabilities. Chief among them is the disastrous rollout of the state's ObamaCare exchange, which, as I've previously noted, the paper…
PBS to Broadcast Documentary With 'Deeply Humanizing' Portrayals of La
