Another Liberal-Created Failure

A liberal-created failure that goes entirely ignored is the left's harmful agenda for society's most vulnerable people -- the mentally ill.

Todd: In the ‘90s, We Couldn’t Cover Bin Laden; Too Busy With Lewinsky

Cover Osama bin Laden in the ‘90s? Journalists were too busy with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. That was the casual, lazy way in which Chuck Todd on Monday explained lack of journalistic alarm about the terrorist.
