AP Only Tells Readers That 'Several' Obamacare Co-ops Are 'Hurting'

The press's reluctance to relay Obamacare-related bad news has been obvious for years. Nowhere is this more consistently the case than at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press. Over half of the state non-profit co-ops set up under Obamacare with $2 billion-plus in taxayer funding are failing. The AP has generally treated those failures as local stories, even though they relate to…

French Movie Depicting Paris Terror Attack Pushed to Next Year

Sometimes art comes too close to imitating life. The movie Made in France was set to be released last weekend, but the plot was suddenly too disturbing. It's being pushed to 2016. It’s about a Muslim journalist who uses his background to permeate a mosque in the Paris suburbs and eventually hooks up with would-be terrorists planning to “sow chaos in the heart of Paris.”

Even Salon Says 'the Left Has an Islam Problem'

The unthinkable has happened: Salon has called out the Left, saying "The Left has an Islam problem." Sean Illing actually took leftists to task for refusing to discuss Islam in a more critical light. “For liberals in particular, it’s a kind of heresy to suggest that Islam, at this particular moment in history, has a problem. This is unfortunate, and it has to end.”

NYT's Krugman: Bullying, Cowardly GOP All About Panic Over Paris

Why do right-wingers "panic "over the terrorist attacks in Paris, the Ebola epidemic, and Obama-care? Because they're bullies and cowards, Paul Krugman explained in his Friday column, "The Farce Awakens." While the news pages of the New York Times have been relatively sober in the aftermath of the attacks by radical Islamists in Paris, Krugman has been his same old nastily sarcastic self, to the…

Kurt Schrader over his vote in favor of additional scrutiny for Syrian refugees applying to enter the U.S. Costello spotlighted how "some on Twitter have not been kind — calling you a traitor to Oregon and...xenophobic," and how "some say the intent of this bill is to really create so many checks that it will be impossible for any…

WashPost Columnist Acts Stunned Charlie Sheen Has HIV, Scolds Society

Washington Post Style section columnist Lonnae O’Neal sounded almost intentionally clueless about Charlie Sheen’s admission he’s HIV-positive. “Bipolar disorder, my husband guessed. Yes, or perhaps schizophrenia, I said.” But he showed up on NBC and announced it’s an STD, and O’Neal is stunned. “My reaction was swift and twofold. First: What!? HIV hadn't even crossed my mind.”

Sally Kohn: Christian Fundamentalists, ISIS, Perpetually Hostile

On Friday, Sally Kohn took to The Daily Beast to argue that we should all be heartened by the fact that  “The Religious Fundamentalists Are Losing.” In making her case, Kohn compared Christian ‘hardliners’ – you social conservative ones who are pro-life and pro-traditional marriage – with DAESH, or ISIS as many in the West know it.

MSM Spreads False Claim Trump Wants Special Badges for Muslims

By now you have probably seen a plethora of stories in the Mainstream Media that Donald Trump wants special ID badges for Muslims. One little problem here. Trump never actually said this. One "tell" that this story is false is that there is no video of Trump saying this. The best the MSM can come up with is one with Trump answering questions about border security. The word "badges" never crossed…

The Charge of the Green Brigade: Guardian Hypes Celeb Climate Poetry

The Guardian’s latest installment of climate activism makes it seem more like a sad literary digest rather than a sad news outlet. And it brought in celebrities like actor James Franco to help. In March 2015, The Guardian first launched its anti-fossil fuel campaign called “Keep it in the Ground.” The campaign, which began with a petition to pressure the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation into…
