Maher Again Bites Hand That Feeds Him, Rips 'Political Correctness Naz
Left-wing court jester Bill Maher has shown a delightful willingness to insult other liberals, such as when he went after them as apologists for Joe Stalin, MSNBC's obsession with Bridgegate, and Michelle Obama sounding awkwardly similar to GOP congressman Paul Ryan.
Last night the pattern continued, though this time Maher made sure to malign conservatives even more, lest anyone get the…

AP Absurdity: New DHS Head's Moves Following Scandalous Behavior Have
From time to time, leftist media members have regaled us about how the Obama administration somehow remains totally or nearly scandal-free (two of many examples are here and here).

The journalistic gymnastics involved were on vivid display Friday…

Barely News: Illinois Gov. Quinn Pulls Tweets Comparing Black Republic
A search at the Associated Press's national site on the last name of Illinois Governor Patrick Quinn and "Jews" at 7:30 this evening returned nothing.
That's pretty amazing, considering that Quinn's campaign enthusiastically retweeted its support for an outrageous April 17 column by Neil Steinberg at the Chicago Sun-Times. For all practical purposes, Steinberg equated African-Americans who…
Thom Hartmann: Disasters Are the 'Ultimate' Job Creators
Silly you, all this time thinking that disasters are a bad thing. Thom Hartmann knows so much better.
Hartmann, who touts himself as "The King of Progressive Talk" and is listed 10th on Talker Magazine's ranking of the top 100 radio hosts in America, made a claim on his show this week that neatly encapsulates what passes for economic wisdom among liberals. (Audio after the jump)
Press Tries to Discredit Conservatives With Cliven Bundy, Ignores Larg
The press and the left are trying to pretend that Cliven Bundy, the Republican Party, and conservatism are all one and the same, despite no evidence of that being the case, because of intemperate things Mr. Bundy has said.

Norah O'Donnell pursued Texas Governor Rick Perry on Thursday's CBS This Morning over the controversial land dispute between Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and the federal government.

MSNBC’s Hayes, Guest Fawn Over Sen. Warren, Suggest Presidential Run
There’s a slow but steady drumbeat of support building up in the media for an Elizabeth Warren presidential run, and MSNBC is playing a huge part in it.

Liz Warren is Shocked! Shocked! at 'Obscene' Profits From Student Loan
Still trying to decide which was funnier last night on "The Daily Show" -- big-government devotee Elizabeth Warren fulminating against government greed or her conspicuous lie of omission about why government is generating "obscene" profits from the toil of college kids.
Senator Warren, making the rounds to pitch yet another preachy tome, was at her indignant, high-dudgeon finest and found a…

One minute the liberal media will tell you that Hillary Clinton is a tough-as-nails politician and stateswoman who is eminently qualified for the White House and in the next the same folks are in high dudgeon about how the former secretary of state is the target of mean ol' "sexist" and "ageist" Republicans.
Witness msnbc.com's Aliyah Frumin riding valiantly to the rescue of the poor…
