MSNBC's Trymaine Lee Laments Missouri's 'Rapid Rightward Shift'
On Saturday, Trymaine Lee at MSNBC.com, who fancies himself as an "expert" on "race, poverty, and guns," was aghast at the current "current social and political mess" in Missouri.

CNN's Don Lemon: An 'Automatic' Weapon Is What I Say It Is
Don Lemon at CNN isn't interested in being told what an "automatic" rifle is. He's decided what it is, and the truth doesn't matter. Even after recognizing after the fact that the person correcting him was right, he has no remorse for his demonstrated ignorance.
