Diehm and Hall posted a piece today complaining that more states require you to wait before having an abortion than before buying a gun. Using…

WashPost Still Upset on Page One That Newtown Wasn't 'Transformative M
Sunday's Washington Post seemed to arrive about two months late with a dominating front-page story on mourning Newtown parents Mark and Jackie Barden. Much of the Eli Saslow story was a heart-breaking account about the aftermath of their son Daniel's death in the grade-school rampage.

New CNN Host 'Uncomfortable' With U.S. Gun Culture, Thinks Bloomberg's
Meet your new late-night CNN host George Stroumboulopoulos, who feels the Toronto Mayor's alleged use of a gay slur was worse than if he had a crack addiction, and thinks New York City Mayor Bloomberg is a "right-winger" whose soda ban revealed that his "heart's in the right place" and whose support for "marriage equality" was "fantastic."

Apparently being a liberal is cool nowadays, at least in Chuck Todd's view.
On Monday NBC's chief White House correspondent and host of MSNBC's The Daily Rundown eulogized longtime Democratic New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg as a groundbreaker who advanced liberal ideas like gun control long before it was "cool" to be for them.
