ABC Makes Absurd Argument Against Ebola Travel Ban
It's clear that the liberal media will latch on to any argument, even the most patently nonsensical, to oppose a travel ban on people from Ebola-affected countries.

AP Ignores Own Story on Border Closures Halting Ebola in U.S. Coverage
In an all too typical unskeptical report, Jim Kuhnhenn at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, allowed President Barack Obama to claim, in Kuhnhenn's words, that "health and security experts continue to tell him that the screening measures already in place for travelers are more effective" than "restricting travel to the U.S. from the three Ebola-stricken West African nations."…

Limbaugh: CDC's Frieden Admits Borders Too Porous for Ebola Flight Ban

'Conservative' Abby Huntsman Eagerly Opposes Ebola Travel Ban
The web page for MSNBC's The Cycle has the chutzpah to describe co-host Abby Huntsman as a "conservative." Whatever happened to truth in advertising?
On today's episode, Huntsman again demonstrated why the conservative tag doesn't fit. As a guest offered up a laughably lame analogy in arguing against a travel ban on people from Ebola-affected countries, Huntsman was quick to weigh in with an…

Stein's Argument Against Travel Ban: Helps America But Hurts W. Africa
The last time we looked, Barack Obama was President of the United States, not of some other country. So if a ban on travel into the United States by people from Ebola-ravaged countries in West Africa would help America, isn't it President Obama's obligation to impose it, even if it might hurt those African countries?
On today's Morning Joe, HuffPo's Sam Stein twice acknowledged that the ban…

Ebola: Schultz Blames Profit Motive for Texas Hospital Shortcomings
Here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area where I live, the Ebola outbreak is very much a local issue. Playing tennis with some buddies this morning, I remarked during a break: "can you imagine what a disaster this Ebola thing must be for Texas Presbyterian? Who's going to want to go there? The whole hospital could go out of business!"
Pretty obvious, no? It would be akin to the financial disaster…
