Associated Press Slams Law-Abiding Chicago Gun Owners, Says They'll In
The Associated Press was right to leave the name of the author out of the byline in their June 28 piece about concealed carry in Chicago. Apparently, this particular staff writer thinks mass slaughter will ensue because law-abiding citizens will be able to carry handguns.

Mike Allen's 'Politico Playbook'—'Presented' By Gabby Giffords' Gun
News organizations gotta pay the bills. Nothing's more normal than a newspaper, magazine or website—NewsBusters included—selling advertising, including ads by political or issue-advocacy groups.

Maher Calls Texas Democrat's Filibuster ‘Heroic’ - Called it ‘Qu
It’s really been amazing this past week watching liberal media members that for years have been complaining about Republican filibusters almost universally celebrate Texas state Senator Wendy Davis’s (D) filibuster of an abortion bill that clearly would have passed if she hadn’t.
Count Bill Maher amongst the hypocrites, for having just two months ago called the filibuster a “quiet coup” that…
Another Bizarre Scarborough Blooper About Zimmerman Trial: Joe Doesn't

Mika Moved By Manchin's Ad Responding To NRA
To say that Mika Brzezinski was "moved" by Joe Manchin's ad, responding to one by the NRA criticizing the Dem senator from West Virginia for supporting new gun-control measures, is a decided understatement.
Have a look at the ad, which Manchin debuted on Morning Joe today, then have a go at describing Mika's emotional reaction. View the video after the jump.
Martin Bashir Politicizes Chicago Shootings While Ignoring True Cause
During his Monday afternoon show, MSNBC host Martin Bashir initiated a segment by reporting on the tragic shootings that took place over Father’s Day weekend in Chicago.

Slate Says Lack Of Emotionalism Sunk Gun Control Bill
As the six-month half-anniversary of Newtown was observed, some families of the victims are renewing their push for more gun control measures and liberal scribes in the media are on board, hoping to help the cause by lambasting gun rights advocates in print.

'Glock Block' in Oregon Neighborhood 10 Miles From Portland Gets Natio
Odds are that the ultraliberal, Occupy movement-supporting crowd in Portland, Oregon, which includes its mayor in late 2011, who told the Los Angeles Times that "I support a lot of what the movement stands for, as a political leader" -- are already trying to figure out how to stop what they surely see as a dangerous idea which has sprung up about 10 miles to the south: fed-up citizens arming…
MSNBC's Craig Melvin Slams Pro-life Congresswoman Over Abortion Bill
Craig Melvin typified MSNBC’s stance on abortion Tuesday morning. Filling in for Thomas Roberts as the anchor of MSNBC Live, Melvin conducted a rabid attack-dog interview with Rep.

Minutes later, Melvin brought on hard-left…
