Left's Unreported Belief: High Job-Killing Minimum Wages Are Okay
Perhaps this is why the press has been reluctant to cite economists who are predicting that sharp increases in state minimum wages like the $15-per-hour minimums just passed in California and New York will reduce employment: They're with many of their lefty brethren who don't care whether jobs are lost. So they must believe that no one else should care either.

ABC Continues Obsessively Bashing ‘Religious Freedom’ Bill
Like CBS and NBC did in their morning shows, and all three networks did in the evening news the night before, Wednesday’s World News Tonight on ABC obsessively harped on Mississippi’s “controversial” “religious freedom law,” complete with scare quotes.

More Details on Those 'Low-Level' Recipients of Obama's Commutations
On Sunday, I noted how USA Today, the Associated Press, and the establishment press in general have swallowed the Obama administration's line that the 61 convicted and incarcerated criminals whose sentences the President commuted last Thursday were "low-level inmates" guilty of "low-level drug offenses." A spreadsheet working only from the information the White House provided demonstrates that…

CNN's Banfield Aghast Mississippi Law Protects Traditional Sex Views
On Wednesday's Legal View, CNN's Ashleigh Banfield deplored part of Mississippi's new religious liberty law.

She asked legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, "Does that mean that cake-…

Time Touts Pro-LGBT Corporation Lobbying....Skips Over Time Warner
Near the front of Time magazine in the April 11 edition is a “good news” story by Katy Steinmetz titled “Why more companies are coming out of the political closet.” A caption to a faux graph with a rainbow headed to the top noted “Since mobilizing against an Indiana law last year, businesses have increasingly defended LGBT rights.”
One of the most notable pro-gay corporations is none other than…
MSNBC’s ‘Breaking News’: Protester Says Cruz Is ‘Right-Wing Bigot’
MSNBC journalists on Wednesday breathlessly broke in with the liberal network’s idea of “breaking news.” Reporting on a heckler yelling at Ted Cruz in New York, a network graphic alerted, “Breaking News: Protester: Cruz Is ‘Right-Wing Bigot.’” That’s breaking news?

DNC Chair Dodges Clinton FBI Question In Bartiromo Interview on FBN
If Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, told the media that he wasn’t sure if the leading presidential candidate for the Republican Party would be willing to speak with the Federal Bureau of Investigation if the agency sought an interview of huim regarding a pending criminal investigation, the media would howl in protest. So why aren't they when the DNC chairwoman…

"Out of patience," Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton has decided to "disqualify" and "defeat" challenger Bernie Sanders by going after his record on guns, CNN reported last night.

Major Networks, Papers Skip Obama Censorship of Hollande Terror Talk
On April 1, MRCTV Editor-in-Chief Craig Bannister and his team found a fascinating case of Obama House censorship of French president Francois Hollande’s mention of “Islamist terrorism.” The White House posted a video of a bilateral meeting on Thursday of Obama and Hollande at the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, but the audio dropped out precisely when Hollande's speech became…
