Lefty Pundits Explore Why the Media Have It In For Hillary
Complaints from liberal pundits about media bias against Hillary Clinton have snowballed during the past few days.

Looking at the history of NBC’s Today co-host Matt Lauer leading into Wednesday night’s MSNBC/NBC Commander in Chief Forum, one would conclude that he’d be anything but netural compared to some of his colleagues for impartial questioning both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, but he brought the heat early on in Clinton’s portion about her e-mail scandal that left Clinton on the defensive.

Maddow: US Bombed Laos For More Than a Decade for No Apparent Reason
When it comes to liberals, what they omit from their narratives can be just as misleading as what they include.
Case in point: Rachel Maddow reporting on MSNBC last night about President Obama's visits to the nations of Laos and China. As the destination of a presidential visit, China makes sense but why Laos, you may wonder.

Kaine Falsely Claims Clinton Foundation Now Not Accepting Foreign $$
Since most of the truth about the Clinton Foundation hurts the candidacy of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, her campaign appears to have adopted the strategy of having Tim Kaine, her hapless running mate, lie about its activities and decisions to local reporters, while hoping that nobody outside the local viewing area gets wise to the tactic.

Apple Accused (Again) of Protecting Hillary from Satirical Games
It looks like Apple hasn’t learned their lesson from its last go around with political satire games. Last month, I wrote about an app called “Capitol HillAwry” in which the objective is to collect as much money through e-mail donations as possible while fetching a respectable approval rating in the polls.
