Shameless Jezebel Mourns Darren Wilson's 'Unlucky Kid'
Leave it to the lefty gossip site Jezebel to use an innocent baby as a means to entice its audience into reading more “bad news” about the Michael Brown verdict: Darren Wilson’s going to be a father. Actually, the news of the baby was barely mentioned in the post.
Jezebel’s Hillary Crosley blogged about the recent interview Officer Darren Wilson gave to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday –…
Bozell & Graham Column: Ferguson, the 'Local Crime Story'
Last year, Philadelphia abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell stood trial in Philadelphia for the deaths of one woman and seven babies who had their throats slit, but national reporters didn’t want to cover it.

Ed Schultz: If Only Ferguson Cop Stayed in His Cruiser
If this isn't the most contorted apologia for the thuggery that led Michael Brown to his death, it's pretty damn close.

NBC Legal Analyst Falsely Tweets: Wilson Called Michael Brown an 'It'

Even though It's only been a few days since the grand jury in Ferguson, Mo., decided not to charge police officer Darren Wilson with any crimes connected to his shooting of black 18-year-old Michael Brown on August 9, racism has become a hot topic for columnists and commentators.

WashPost on Ferguson: A Racist Town and Landmark, Just Like Selma
As proof the national media is trying to turn Ferguson into Selma – with no appreciation of a difference in racism between Alabama in the 1960s and St. Louis in 2014 – see Krissah Thompson’s Thanksgiving Day dissertation in The Washington Post. A headline was “To many, ‘Ferguson’ is shorthand for police mistreatment of blacks.”
Tapper: Alderman Thinks Yelling 'Burn That B--ch Down' Spurred Riots
Erin Burnett’s bizarre suggestion that yelling “Burn that bitch down” might not be a call to violence was challenged even inside CNN on Tuesday.

Ed Show: Wilson 'Crafted Answers'; Tea Party Wants Him for Congress
During his MSNBC show on Wednesday night, Ed Schultz and guest Mike Papantonio devoted five minutes to promoting, among other things, their beliefs that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson “crafted his answers” to the grand jury and in his interview with ABC News “to match the law” and that Fox News, the tea party, and conservatives will soon want their “made-for-TV folk hero” in Wilson to run…
NBC's Savannah Guthrie Softly Nudges Brown's Mother on Ferguson Riots
On Wednesday's Today, NBC co-host Savannah Guthrie confronted Michael Brown's mother, Leslie McSpadden, as gently as you possibly could about her husband encouraging the latest round of Ferguson rioting.

The CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley used the conclusion of its Tuesday night broadcast to lament and highlight the instances in which President Barack Obama has commented on the issue of race and how the events in Ferguson, Missouri have “tested once more” the President who has “willingly shouldered the burden of a nation fractured along racial lines” despite his “unrealistic expectations of…
Limbaugh: Obama's Remarks on Ferguson Designed to 'Feed the Rage'
Seldom-heard praise for President Obama from Rush Limbaugh today -- wrapped within withering analysis of Obama's disingenuous remarks last night after a grand jury decided against indicting Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of Michael Brown in August.
Yet again, Obama fails to live up to his billing as a unifying figure, Limbaugh pointed out. Instead, he's just…
