Ron Fournier: Hillary Might Pay Big Price 'Criminally'

If she were anyone but a Clinton, would Hillary's campaign not be kaput?

Bozell & Graham Column: Censoring The Real Planned Parenthood

After six devastating hidden-camera interviews, the best Planned Parenthood and its top-dollar crisis managers can muster in their defense is to protest that they were “heavily edited.” Of course they were. All video is edited. It's why they call it "produced." Without offering evidence of exculpatory evidence withheld, the charge is as meaningless as Planned Parenthood is evil. But have you…

HuffPost: Planned Parenthood Videos Make Abortion 'Ghoulish Spectacle'

Meg Mott of the Huffington Post decided to lament the fact that these videos have transformed the discourse of abortion from a debate about women’s rights into a “ghoulish spectacle.” Then she bizarrely blames capitalist "neoliberalism" for abortions.

Larry Wilmore Mocks Hillary Clinton’s 'Secretive' Image

Hillary Clinton is certainly having a bad week.  Her fellow Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders closing the gap between them, she’s getting called out for her email scandal in certain media circles, and had a confrontational run-in with Black Lives Matter activists.
