CBS Uncovers New VA Scandal: Dept. Ignored Veterans' Benefits Claims
Wyatt Andrews revealed the details of a new scandal at the Department of Veterans Affairs on Wednesday's CBS This Morning. Andrews zeroed in on how the veterans' benefits office in Oakland, California simply ignored "more than 13,000 informal claims filed between 1996 and 2009 – all of which were stashed in a file cabinet." The correspondent spotlighted whistleblowers who claimed that "V.A.…

Saturday Night Humor: Cavuto Admits That It's All Fox News's Fault
Thursday on his Your World show, host Neil Cavuto went after the Obama administration's near obsession with the coverage it gets on Fox News.
While Team Obama can count on the Big Three triumvirate of ABC, CBS and NBC to toe the line, promoting its points while generally avoiding damning information, Fox has generally remained fair and balanced, an approach which has clearly gotten under their…

CBS, ABC Notice New ObamaCare 'Glitch;' NBC Omits
Julianna Goldman spotlighted the latest ObamaCare glitch on Friday's CBS Evening News. The same evening, ABC's World News Tonight aired a ten-second news brief on the "outrage over another glitch to the ObamaCare website – nearly 800,000 people received inaccurate forms from the site."

Lupica: How Can Obama Make 'Noble' Obamacare a 'Triumph?'
New York Daily News columnist Mike Lupica ought to stick to sports. When he wanders into politics he says silly stuff, as on today's Morning Joe.
With HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell being interviewed about Obamacare, Lupica unctuously wondered out loud: "how did something that was this noble an idea become something over time that the other party uses against this president constantly? And is…
NPR Star Diane Rehm Moonlighting As 'Right to Die' Fundraiser
Last July, we reported that NPR talk-show host Diane Rehm helped her husband John commit suicide by choosing not to eat or drink, then agitated for “right to die” laws in an NBC News story, where she suggested we euthanize “little animals,” so why not our family members?
Rehm’s crusade made the front page of Sunday’s Washington Post, under the headline “Rehm’s topic: Death with self-…
NY Times: Walker, Who Became Gov in 2011, Caused Layoffs in 2010
What an ironic title New York Times op-ed columnist and former editorial page editor Gail Collins used — "Scott Walker Needs an Eraser" — in her February 13 opinion piece blasting Wisconsin's Republican governor.
In her nitpicky, selective mind, Walker must already have an eraser, one that's so powerful that it could reach back to the year before he became Badger State chief executive and…
Amanda Marcotte: ACA Lawsuit Proves ‘Wingnut Wing’ Runs GOP
In her Talking Points Memo column, Marcotte writes that King v. Burwell itself is ridiculous but par for the course: “Exploiting the obsessions and fantasies of rightwing cranks…has [been] the standard operating procedure of conservative leadership for decades now. But that the Supreme Court is elevating this kind of talk radio madness to the highest court in the land takes this to another level…
AP, NY Times Finally Focus on Oregon Gov. Kitzhaber Corruption Story
In a sign that the walls are truly beginning to close in around him, the Associated Press's national site and the New York Times, both of which have largely ignored the growing ethical scandals surrounding Oregon Democratic Governor John Kitzhaber and his fiancee Cylvia Hayes for months, have gotten busy during the past 24 hours.
The very belated national attention cannot possibly be helpful to…
Staples Pushes Back on Obama Smear, Networks Ignore
In an interview with BuzzFeed on Tuesday, President Obama attacked office supply chain Staples over accusations that the company was cutting back on worker hours to avoid the ObamaCare health insurance coverage mandate for their employees: "...when I hear large corporations that make billions of dollars in profits trying to blame our interest in providing health insurance as an excuse for cutting…
NY Times's Correction on Vaccines Fixes Misattribution of Walker Quote
Radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh believes that because the center-right media and blogosphere pushed back against the vaccine vendetta campaign against Republicans and conservatives, the establishment press is sharply backing away from trying to capitalize on it, especially because both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have been shown to have played to the anti-vaxxer crowd during the 2008…

CNN's Cuomo to Carson: GOP is 'Always Pushing Back Against Science'
CNN's Chris Cuomo forwarded the latest liberal attack on conservatives/Republicans on Wednesday's New Day as he interviewed potential GOP presidential candidate, Dr. Ben Carson. Cuomo hounded the neurosurgeon on the ongoing measles outbreak, and asserted that "this has been politicized now. You see a couple of your potential opponents coming out – and it seems as though the Republican Party has a…
CBS Interviews Surgeon General, Ignores Controversial Left-Wing Views
Touting Dr. Vivek Murthy "making history" as the "first surgeon general of Indian descent" and "one of the youngest in history," CBS This Morning co-host Charlie Rose welcomed the nation's new top doctor to the show Wednesday morning for "his first television interview." Rose never explained that the reason for the delayed Senate confirmation was Murthy's own partisan background and…

The Daily Show Revisited: Slammed 'Left-Leaning Idiocy' on Vaccines
Yes but that was so last June, before liberals grasped that concern about vaccinations could help fill the gaping void left by the war-on-women meme that had run its course and no longer drove their voters to the polls.
Thanks to dubious remarks about vaccines by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, two likely GOP candidates for president, left wingers are hopeful…
Lefty Blogger: ‘The Anti-Vaccination Left Should…STFU’
The Esquire pundit admits that Democrats are vulnerable because of the “very active, and loud, liberal claque opposed to compulsory vaccination,” and notes that both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama “wobbled on the issue a bit while campaigning six years ago.”
