NYT's Yee Makes Excuses for Hate-Crime Hoaxers Charged With Assault
Well, at least they covered it. That’s the best that can be said about the New York Times story by Vivian Yee on the front of Wednesday’s Metro section about a racial hate-crime hoax at the University of Albany.

NBC News: Republicans Opposed Naming Post Office After Maya Angelou
According to an article posted on the NBC News website by Luke Russert, nine GOP members of the U.S. House of Representatives created a controversy by voting against naming a post office in Winston-Salem, N.C., after “award-winning poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou.”

Halperin: All Agree Great for SCOTUS to 'Look More Like America'
I'm guessing most NewsBusters readers could care less about "diversity" when it comes to choosing Justices of the Supreme Court. That they'd be thrilled if all nine justices looked, for example, like Clarence Thomas--so long as all shared his philosophy of judicial restraint and original intent.

TV News Gives Trump Three Times More Airtime Than Cruz or Rubio
Once again in February, ABC, CBS and NBC devoted a majority of their Republican primary coverage to Donald Trump, who received three times more attention than his top competitors, Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

Asian Lobby Hammers Chris Rock for Stereotyped Accountant Oscars Joke
Given all the hoopla the Oscars went through when it came to #OscarsSoWhite and airing their grievances – even boycotting the awards show – because of the lack of diversity and stereotypes portrayed on the big screen, they seemed to have overlooked the ummm…big picture (no pun intended) on Sunday night when comedian and Oscars host Chris Rock did the same exact thing he and others have accused…

That's because they claimed that in February, "consumers - giddy from Super Bowl ads - returned to showrooms after a snowy January…
Shock: Lawrence O’Donnell Defends Paul Ryan Against Trump’s Threat
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan doesn’t get defended much on liberal MSNBC. But host Lawrence O’Donnell did just that during live Super Tuesday coverage.

WashPost Stumbles, IDs Pro-Lifers as 'Abortion Rights' Activists

The last two midterm elections have yielded big Republican congressional gains, yet most conservatives who cheered those developments now jeer at Donald Trump. That’s inconsistent thinking on their part, suggests Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Marshall.
