Press, Reacting to Dismal Consumer Spending News: Better Days Ahead
For the past month, the conventional wisdom about the U.S. economy has been that consumer spending and "(not really) robust" job growth will continue to prop up the economy, even as weaknesses in manufacturing, trade and other areas continue to present problems.

Si se le oye contar el cuento a Jorge Ramos, parecería que desde que inició su campaña por la presidencia en junio del 2015 Donald Trump no ha hecho otra cosa que condenar constantemente en general a los inmigrantes mexicanos que entran ilegalmente a Estados Unidos como “criminales, violadores y traficantes de drogas”.

AP, USA Today Fail to Report Size of Sanders' Saturday Wins
When was the last time a badly trailing presidential candidate in either major party won relatively late-in-the-game contests by lopsided victory margins of greater than 70-30, as Bernie Sanders did in Washington today, and greater than 80-20, as Sanders did in Alaska? I'm virtually certain that the answer to that question, regardless of what happens in Hawaii's Democratic primary much later…
PBS's David Brooks: 'I'd Forgotten How Ugly Ted Cruz Could Be'
The latest edition of PBS NewsHour's regular "Shields and Brooks" segment not only featured both analysts slamming GOP presidential candidate and Texas Senator Ted Cruz from the left over terrorism, but the liberal Shields actually admonished President Barack Obama for his reaction to the Brussels terrorist attacks while faux-conservative Brooks wholeheartedly defended Obama's behavior in Cuba.…
Vox Writer: GOPers Dislike Racist Trump, But Back Bigot Cruz
According to Dylan Matthews, Donald Trump attracts a highly diverse group of foes. Some of them (mostly Democrats and independents) find racism appalling, but others (notably some prominent Republicans) are fine with it as long as it’s packaged in a certain way.
In a Wednesday article, Matthews remarked that even though GOPers such as Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney have sharply criticized Trump, they’…

CBS Hits Panic Button, Rails Against Religious Freedom Bills in GA, NC
In almost identical fashion to their hysteria concerning the defeat of transgender bathroom bill in Houston from November, Thursday’s CBS Evening News painted quite the doomsday scenario for Georgia and North Carolina over their respective religious freedom bills as the newscast argued they could lead to massive boycotts and the loss of billions of dollars in business.
Pundit Contrasts Obama’s ‘Reasoned’ Approach With GOP’s ‘Meltdown’
In early 2008, Barack Obama annoyed many liberals when he said that President Reagan (but not President Clinton) had “changed the trajectory of America.” New York magazine’s Chait no doubt will irritate many conservatives by suggesting Obama has done the same over the past seven-plus years. In a piece for the March 21 issue, Chait commented, “Obama hasn’t so much moved from the center to the left…
