AP Report Claims GOP Governors Have 'Awkward Task' Explaining Their Su
Democrats are at it again, claiming that Republicans, particularly House Republicans, are sabotaging the economy, while ignoring the quite effective job President Barack Obama has done to ruin the economy both on his own (regulatory and anti-fossil fuel hostility, wasteful green "investments," etc.) and with the help of Congressional Democrats when they controlled both Houses of Congress (…
Howard Kurtz Warns CNN: Liberal Media Double Standard Apparent 'to Man
Media critic Howard Kurtz warned CNN on Friday that "to many people" it looks like the media has a massive double standard in its campaign coverage of Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.

Lamar Smith Column: National Media's Bias Erodes Public Confidence
The national liberal media’s bias has eroded the public’s confidence in the news they get.

AP Coverage of 'Lie-bor' Scandal Fails to Note That Geithner Ran the N

Playing Into Obama's Populist Pose, NYTimes Obsesses Over Romney's Vac
Sunday's front-page "political memo" from New York Times reporter Richard Stevenson played into the Obama campaign's hands by obsessing over Romney's supposedly ostentatious displays of wealth, in contrast to Barack Obama's down-home populism: "On Tricky Terrain of Class, Contrasting Paths."

NYT: Free Publicity for Lefty Protest of GOP 'Ultrarich;' Obama's Bigg
On Monday, New York Times reporters Michael Barbaro and Sarah Wheaton made much of a left-wing protest of Mitt Romney fundraising in the well-heeled Hamptons, "Romney Mines the Hamptons for Campaign Cash." The text box: "Protesters gather outside events in sprawling homes."

In a report currently time-stamped early Saturday morning, Emily Wilkins at the Columbus Dispatch claimed in her opening sentence covering Ohio's second We The People Convention in Columbus ("Fears fuel kinship at tea party convention") that "Tea party members are alone and scared — and to them, that’s a good thing."

NBC's Gregory: 5-4 Against ObamaCare = 'Nightmare'; 5-4 for ObamaCare
Meet the Press host David Gregory displayed a stunning double standard throughout NBC's Thursday morning coverage of the Supreme Court ruling on ObamaCare.

AP Report on WH Bus Tour Plans Reads Like a Campaign Press Release
It seems that there will be little reason for the Obama campaign to bother issuing press releases as long as Julie Pace of the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, is around to breathlessly relay the information for them as some kind of exclusive, insider report.
If there's any difference between campaign hype and what Pace wrote in a theoretically objective news piece, it must…
