WashPost Can't Find One Angry Driver In a Protester-Caused Traffic Jam
The Washington Post claims to be a newspaper that can find and report the conflict in today’s public square. But the Post and cub reporter T. Rees Shapiro couldn’t find one angry person who was delayed for half an hour by a human chain of protesters across Interstate 395 in Washington, DC.
Shapiro could only find people who thought it laudable, reasonable, or even a learning experience:

Yawn: ABC, NBC Ignore Latest ObamaCare Stumble
ObamaCare has yet another problem, but one wouldn't know it from the networks. ABC and NBC on Monday ignored a new Washington Post report finding that small businesses are not embracing the President's health care law. CBS This Morning covered the story, but only for a scant 15 seconds.

The Media Messes Up the Lede
As we’ve often discussed, the Tech World Media is just as hopelessly Leftist and lost as the broader Jurassic Press. They so often get it so very wrong - often because their absurd political perspective warps their alleged “reporting.”
Saturday gave us two additional exquisite examples - one each in Politico (henceforth Pathetico) and The Hill.

Scarborough Rips Media 'Cowards' Spewing 'BS' About Ferguson
As Seton Motley, the former MRCer now head of Less Government said in bringing Joe Scarborough's comments to our attention: "credit when it's due." Because the Morning Joe host had the guts today to speak truth to MSM power, including people at his own network, over the liberal media's cowardly, misleading coverage of Ferguson.
Scarborough tied the media's misinformation to the decision of five…

NPR Still Pushing the 'Red Scare' -- With Actual Communists
The leftist phrase “Red scare” is meant to imply a political paranoia that caused people to be falsely charged with communist espionage. But even today, leftist media outlets like National Public Radio use “Red scare” even as they admit the people involved were communists trying to aid the Soviet Union.
On Saturday’s Weekend Edition, NPR anchor Scott Simon proved again that they never tire of…

CNN 'Breaks' Months-Old News About Brown Family's 'Expert'
The establishment press's performance in Ferguson has certainly been disgraceful, especially its role in turning one local death into a national obsession.
One element of that buildup involves Shawn Parcells, one of two men hired by the family of Michael Brown, the 18 year-old man who was killed in an altercation with Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in early August, to look into his death…

Obama Mocks Chuck Todd Book: 'He's Just Sad'
It was Small Business Saturday yesterday – and to show appreciation to small businesses (the same businesses he’s helped to quell growth or put out of business thanks to his “Affordable Care Act”), Obama took his daughters, Malia and Sasha, shopping at the liberal Politics & Prose book store in Washington, DC (owned by two former Washington Post reporters).

Melinda Gates Lies to Time: Our Foundation Doesn't Fund Abortion
Melinda Gates is the ideal philanthropist in the eyes of the liberals at Time magazine – after all, she and her husband Bill Gates became Time’s Persons of the Year...about the same time they gave Time money for a health summit. Anyhow, Melinda was recently honored with the “Ten Questions” interview with Belinda Luscombe in Time’s December 1 and 8 issue.
They promoted “The philanthropist on the…

HuffPost, Leftists Bully GOP Staffer For Post On Her Facebook Page
This past Thanksgiving weekend, with all the stories going on in the country today, one seems to have topped the list: an unknown GOP staffer decided to voice her opinion about the Obama daughters after they were pictured during the White House turkey pardon ceremony…on her Facebook page.

Ed Schultz Guest Fobs Off Bogus Quote From Condi Rice on Slavery
As to be expected, Ed Schultz didn't catch it. Then again, perhaps he did and let it go anyway.
On his last podcast before Thanksgiving, Schultz was talking with Marcia Fudge, Democrat congresswoman from Ohio, about violent protests in Ferguson, Mo., after a grand jury decided against indicting police officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown last August.

MTP: Rich Lowry's Inconvenient Ferguson Truths Cause Panelist Outrage
National Review editor caused quite an uproar on Meet The Press for the "heresy" of citing the evidence presented to the Ferguson case grand jury which backed up the account of officer Darren Wilson. Among liberal circles, such evidence is rarely if ever cited because the truths it reveals are quite inconvenient to the narrative they have presented and continue to stick with.

Media Adore ‘1 in 3 Campaign,’ Censor Women Who Regret Abortion
The media are all for giving voice to the voiceless, as long as the message fits their agenda. Case in point: journalists recently rushed to publicize the positive – but only the positive – stories of women who chose to abort their unborn babies.
