Dean: GOP Has Had ‘Strong Authoritarian Bent' 'for a Very Long Time'

Joining host Chris Hayes on Wednesday’s pre-Thanksgiving edition of MSNBC’s All In, MSNBC political analyst and former Democratic Vermont Governor Howard Dean tried to trash the Republican Party as nothing but “an authoritarian party” “for a very long time” due to their policy positions on voter I.D. and abortion to name a few.

NY Times Once Thought 'Toxic' Wilson Was 'Worthy of Full Confidence'

The New York Times has now editorialized that Woodrow Wilson had a "toxic legacy" as an "unapologetic racist" that the Left on the Princeton campus was right to repudiate. James Taranto at The Wall Street Journal had a little fun with the same newspaper's endorsement in 1912, calling Toxic Woodrow "a man of high equipment for the office, worthy of the full confidence of the people.” a man of…

AP Headline, Opening Graf Disagree in Tagging Awful Consumer Spending

Economic news on Wednesday's pre-Thanksgiving "Getaway Day" was largely dismal. The government's report on October's personal income and outlays headed up the disappointing news. While incomes increased nicely — at a rate which needs to be repeated about two dozen more times before it can be seen as genuinely impressive — spending only rose by 0.1 percent, while prior months were revised…

ESPN Writer Laments Pro Sports 'Pandering' Tributes to Cops, Vets

Sports and politics are an uneasy mix, but ESPN's "The Truth" columnist Howard Bryant sees no conflict from his end-zone perch at the back of ESPN's biweekly magazine. His column for the December 7 edition tackled a mini-scandal about the Pentagon paying for patriotic displays at professional ball games: "Are You Ready for Some Patriotism?" Bryant went beyond genuine concerns over the sub-rosa…

That 'Big Bully' Texas Is Making Women Drive Longer for Abortions

USA Today Supreme Court correspondent Richard Wolf reported another one of those sob-story pieces about how women seeking abortions will have to drive more than an hour to have their babies “terminated.” The headline was “In Texas, Going the Distance for an Abortion.” The star of the article was “Veronica” in San Antonio, but she “didn’t want her last name used because of the personal nature of…

NBC Touts New Transgender 'Anti-Hate Video' Starring Caitlyn Jenner

Comcast is now using the “public service announcement” to push its leftist LGBT agenda. NBC Universal made an ad starring “Caitlyn” Jenner and fellow transgender activist Chandi Moore to mark the “Transgender Day of Remembrance" to remember those who died due to "anti-transgender hatred and prejudice." Jenner concluded with action items: “Listen to trans people’s stories. Hire a trans person in…

NY Post: Colbert Show 'Has Become Propaganda for Democrats'

Since Stephen Colbert took the reins from David Letterman at The Late Show on CBS, he’s been proving to be serving comedy and commentary for the blue half of America. Kyle Smith of the New York Post penned a piece titled “Colbert’s Late Show has become propaganda for Democrats.” Smith blamed the host for his interviews: “The pattern is familiar: When a Democrat is the guest, Colbert is Barbara…

Pundit: In 2016, GOP Establishment Would Prefer Hillary to Cruz, Trump

If frontrunner Donald Trump or currently surging Ted Cruz gets the 2016 Republican presidential nod, it may have a strange sort of bipartisan effect, according to Tomasky, who in a Wednesday column asserted that GOP bigwigs “despise” both Cruz and Trump to the extent that they’d “actually prefer” presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to win the general election. “No one’s ever going to…

Gullible Media Spread Texas Tall Tale of 'Self-Induced Abortions'

On November 13th, the Supreme Court announced that it would weigh the constitutionality of Texas’ HB2 law, which mandates increased safety regulations for abortion clinics, and, according to its challengers, places an “undue burden” on women’s reproductive health. A mere five days later, several media publications including Yahoo.com, Slate, The Guardian, The Washington Post, and Reuters covered…

CAIR, Packaged: NY Times Cries 'Islamophobia' With Gullible Coverage

It took two weeks after the mass slaughter by radical Islamists in Paris, but the New York Times finally finds itself comfortable with raising the false spectre of American "Islamophobia," with an enormous assist from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the so-called civil-rights organization many consider a Muslim pressure group, and whose ties to Hamas have been documented in…

Sports Writer: Kornheiser Should Have Been Suspended for GOP/ISIS Link

Promoting his latest book Wednesday night on Newsmax TV, longtime sports writer and Washington Post columnist John Feinstein surprisingly went off the liberal reservation and told host Steve Malzberg that ESPN Radio 980 personality and Pardon the Interruption co-host Tony Kornheiser “should probably have gotten” suspended for comparing conservative Republicans to ISIS back.

Mitchell: Senate’s Dislike of Cruz Should Have Made 2016 ‘Non-Starter'

Closing out the Wednesday edition of Andrea Mitchell Reports on MSNBC, Andrea Mitchell remarked how the presidential candidacy of Republican Senator Ted Cruz (Tex) would have been sunk and declared “a non-starter” under so-called normal circumstances due to so many of Cruz’s Senate colleagues having a disdain for him.

Shock: NPR Airs Positive Story About Catholic Saint, Forgiveness

John Burnett's Sunday report on NPR's Weekend Edition about a nationwide tour centered around a Catholic saint certainly stands outs, as the liberal radio network has a long record of hostility to Christianity in general and, specifically, Catholicism. Burnett spotlighted how the remains of "Saint Maria Goretti, patron saint of purity and mercy, drew tens of thousands of the faithful" across the…

HuffPost Offers Free Advertising Disguised as 'News' and Advice

It certainly looks like Planned Parenthood is trying their hardest to distance themselves from being seen as a selfish money-making bloody abortion mill to one that has a woman's interests at heart –  mainly through breast examinations -- and are relying on such media outlets to relay this "message" in a way that can only be described as free advertising. How can an article count as free…
