NYT's Tale of Two Senators: 'Sloganeering' Paul, Surging Sanders
Two U.S. Senators -- one Republican, the other a socialist who votes with the Democrats -- are outside candidates for president. Both were profiled in Monday's New York Times, but with quite different results.

Schieffer: Lack of Collegiality a Greater Danger Than Terrorism
Friday morning, Kyle Drennen at NewsBusters covered retiring Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer's appearance on CBS This Morning.

The Hill: 'Washington Is Ready to Spend'; Doesn't Mention How Much
Facts are such inconvenient things. Especially financial facts and figures.
On Tuesday, Rebecca Shabad at the Hill composed a 34-paragraph report entitled "Washington is ready to spend." Really? When have Congress or the White House not been ready to spend? Oh, I get it.

NPR Bewails Texas's 'Unqualified No' to Medicaid Expansion
Friday's Morning Edition on NPR did its best to try to promote the liberal cause of expanding Medicaid in Texas. Wade Goodwyn lined up six soundbites from pro-expansion talking heads, versus only two from former Texas Governor Rick Perry, an opponent.
