A Tale of Two Abortion Gaffes: Networks Hype Trump’s, Censor Clinton’s

The networks have their favorites when it comes to abortion gaffes. During their morning and evening news shows, the three broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) haven’t spent one second on Hillary Clinton’s abortion comments in which she declared Sunday that an “unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights.” In comparison, when Donald Trump called for “punishment” for women who undergo…

Morning Joe's Lame Hillary Interview: No Email, No Transcripts

Did Huma vet the questions in advance . . . or maybe write them? Talk about your weak, servile interview. This was pitiful. Given the chance to interview Hillary Clinton on today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski failed to ask a single tough question. Nothing about the email scandal. Nothing about the transcripts of her big-dollar speeches to Wall Street. Nothing about having…

Trump's Strengths Are His Achilles' Heel

Six months ago, I warned that Donald Trump's strengths could also be the weaknesses that would destroy his campaign. I think we're beginning to see that play out now. Trump has repeatedly said he is a counterpuncher -- that he won't initiate attacks against his rivals but if they were to hit him first he would hit back much harder.

Hillary Loses Again; AP Plays Race Card to Explain Away Sanders' Win

At Politico tonight, the headline is: "Sanders crushes Clinton in Wisconsin." Given Mrs. Clinton's frontrunner status and the fact that, as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel noted on Saturday (HT Ann Althouse), "Wisconsin has a nearly unbroken modern-day record of voting for party front-runners in its presidential primary," that's an accurate characterization of Sanders' 12-point lead over Mrs.…

Less than a year ago, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos admitted to Politico that he had made $75,000 in undisclosed contributions to the charitable foundation-slash-campaign operation of his former employers Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Nets Bash Mississippi's ‘So-Called’ Religious Liberty Bill

Tuesday night, CBS and NBC went full-on attack mode against Mississippi’s newly passed religious freedom bill, HB 1523. The law, designed to protect religious business owners, like wedding vendors, from violating their beliefs about marriage, came under attack from liberal groups like the Human Rights Campaign and ACLU.
