While discussing Barack Obama’s comments about Donald Trump, Andrea Mitchell on Wednesday lamented the “painful” and “insulting” attacks the President has endured.

Hooray for Hillary! She battled a coughing fit for almost three minutes and she emerged victorious!  That was pretty much the tone of how New York Magazine writer Rembert Browne handled the long coughing fit in an article about her speech yesterday in Harlem that comes off a paean chock full of adoration for Hillary Clinton. His ode to Hillary got so syrupy it is surprising she did not swallow…

On Tuesday's CNN Tonight, Entertainment Tonight's Nischelle Turner and liberal commentator Marc Lamont Hill defended rapper Kanye West's "I made that bitch famous" shot at Taylor Swift on his latest album.

ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today on Wednesday avoided the uncomfortable fact that Barack Obama has totally flip-flopped on whether ideology should be considered for a Supreme Court nominee.

In January of 1992, CBS and the 60 Minutes team awarded Bill and Hillary Clinton and interview for airing right after the Super Bowl broadcast, a gift of remarkable national visibility for a presidential candidate. Hillary was not only the co-star, but a crucial stage manager for that interview. Steve Kroft's questions about adultery were persistent, but incredibly vague. Six years later, when…

Salon took a break from its usual anti-conservative drift to acknowledge a tribute by late night comedian Stephen Colbert to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who passed away on Saturday. “He was universally acknowledged to be an intellectual giant who left his mark not only on the court, but on how to interpret the Constitution,” Colbert said. 

50 Shades of Gray star Dakota Johnson is booked to do a sequel, 50 Shades Darker despite the toll she said the first movie took on her love life.
