Reporter Hypes 'When Trump Made a Pass at Me, and Why It Matters'
In the wake of Donald Trump suggesting Bill Clinton is a rapist, Yahoo is running an article by its chief national correspondent Lisa Belkin titled “When Trump made a pass at me. And why it matters.”

Wash Post Fail: 90% of Native Americans Not Offended By Redskins
Several years ago, The Washington Post decided it didn’t like the Redskins for the name of D.C.’s NFL franchise.
