False Reuters Headline at Yahoo News: 'President Obama Visits the Bord
I'm sure that many will pass off what Reuters and Yahoo News have just been caught doing as some kind of an innocent mistake, and perhaps it was. But isn't odd how often those "mistakes" so often end up giving President Obama and the left more credit than they deserve?
Yesterday, a Reuters story at Yahoo News was headlined "President Obama Visits the Border." That's a pretty remarkable…
Words Do Matter: CNN’s Bolduan Berates Rick Perry on Immigration Wit

DUers and Kossacks Enjoy Photos of Obama Laughing During Border Crises
Sheesh! Talk about being blind to really bad optics.

Where is Hollywood Telethon for Illegal Immigrant Children, Limbaugh A
A perceptive question that no one else has thought to ask, at least not to my knowledge. Rush Limbaugh followed that by explaining why such a high-visibility fundraiser for tens of thousands of "unaccompanied alien children" converging on the border won't be held.
Given the scale of the crisis, you'd think that the civic-minded denizens of Hollywood would be in high gear to do something,…
MSNBC Logic from Chris Hayes: More Border Security Could ‘Make the C
In his defense of President Obama last night, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes made the bizarre case that too much security is the real problem at the border.

Mother Jones, Washington Monthly Bloggers Blast GOP’s Anti-Immigrant
Washington Monthly blogger Ed Kilgore has found some people he thinks conservatives hate even more than they hate President Obama: the thousands of Central American children trying to enter the U.S. at its border with Mexico.

Press Virtually Ignores Cuellar's Hits at Obama's 'Bizarre' Actions, W
At the Politico Wednesday afternoon, Jonathan Topaz covered Texas Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar's sharp criticism of President Barack Obama's failure to visit the nation's southern border, or for that matter any of the detention centers set up for "Unaccompanied Alien Children" (the Department of Homeland Security's term).

Jeff Denham (R-Calif.) and continued the liberal media’s line of blaming House Republicans for the immigration crisis by not taking up the Senate bill passed last year.

Discussing the growing immigration crisis on the July 9 edition of At This Hour with Berman and Michaela, CNN commentator Sally Kohn and host Michaela Pereira both jumped to defend President Obama from attacks from both Republicans and Democrats on his response to the flood of children arriving at the southern border.

Farrow And Ball Team Up To Shout Down Republican Strategist
On his Wednesday program, Ronan Farrow called on MSNBC’s favorite failed congressional candidate Krystal Ball to aid him in decrying both the “corrupt system of Congress” today and the “U.S. policies in the '90s” that have lead to the immigration crisis on the border.

Even Andrea Mitchell Rips Obama Over Immigration Crisis
In an interview with White House adviser Cecilia Munoz on her Wednesday 12 p.m. ET hour show, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell actually tore into the President's poor handling of the immigration crisis and his refusal to visit the border: "...the reality is that the White House has been slow to react.

Even MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski Can't Understand Why Obama Won't Visit th
Has Barack Obama lost Mika Brzezinski? Wednesday morning on Morning Joe, the MSNBC co-host wondered why the President is still refusing to visit the border while in Texas.
