MSNBC: If Ben Carson Was a Dem, 'Weepy' Reports Would Be Made on Him

You know it's bad when MSNBC admits liberal media bias. On Wednesday's Morning Joe, Willie Geist explained how different Ben Carson would be treated, were he a Democrat: "He's got an incredible personal story, too, that not enough people know about.

Colbert: Lots of Trump, Nothing on Clinton, Avoids Liberal Lecturing

Stephen Colbert largely kept his liberal politics in check on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS, at least in the Tuesday night debut, not producing the highly political program conservatives feared would emerge after Colbert rid himself of the conservative buffoon act he offered on Comedy Central. Overall, a much sillier and artificial program than David Letterman’s old show.
