CNN Host Costello Defends PP, Cupp Calls Her Out as 'Liberal'

On Wednesday's CNN Newsroom, anchor Carol Costello defended federal funding for Planned Parenthood in a segment which included conservative CNN commentator S.E. Cupp and liberal CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill supposedly for balance, but was so slanted to the left that Cupp quipped that "I love doing your show because I know I'll get to debate two liberals."

The Hollywood Force Awakens to Fund Obama and the Democrats

President Obama may criticize and rail against those nasty one percenters, but he certainly loves them when he’s looking to raise money. The Hollywood Reporter relayed that on October 1, a Q&A session will be held at the Los Angeles home of Hollywood producer/director J.J. Abrams and wife Katie McGrath to benefit the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.  The cost to enjoy the presence…

ABC, NBC Cover for Hillary on McCarthy; 'Unlikely Political Lifeline'

On Wednesday night, the CBS Evening News punted on the latest batch of Hillary Clinton’s State Department e-mails released hours earlier while their competitors at ABC and NBC did cover them, but only through the veil of defending Clinton against Speaker of the House candidate Kevin McCarthy’s comments on the Benghazi Committee that NBC’s Andrea Mitchell touted as “an unlikely political lifeline…

Sen. Boxer Tells MSNBC Cecile Richards 'Puts Her Life on the Line'

Ultraliberal Senator Barbara Boxer appeared on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell show on Tuesday,  doing her darndest to try and create another fictional case of “the war against women” by defending Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards and her almost-$600,000 salary and taking pot-shots at presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina.   Mitchell gently asked Boxer “Do you think that that is an…

Blogger: Meeting Kim Davis ‘Dumbest Thing’ Francis Has Ever Done

Esquire’s Charles Pierce is a graduate of a Jesuit university (Marquette). It’s among the many reasons he’s been a big fan of Pope Francis, the first-ever Jesuit pontiff, and it’s probably one factor in his vehement disappointment that Francis met with, and apparently encouraged, gay-marriage objector Kim Davis last week in Washington. Pierce referred to the pope’s behavior regarding the “…

Public Radio Show Pushes Replacing Confederate Flag With Simpler Image

Rogue Veteran Wreaks Havoc on ‘Blindspot’

Viewers of the second episode of NBC’s Blindspot, “A Stray Howl,” were treated to the same disdain for America’s military that permeated the new drama’s pilot. Fresh off blaming America for a plot to kill civilians by blowing up the Statue of Liberty, Blindspot then set its sights on veterans, specifically those who may be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Rogue veterans…

Richards: 'I've Never Heard of' Child Surviving Abortion Attempt

In three previous posts yesterday and today, I have noted obvious distortions and untruths in Cecile Richards' testimony this week before a House committee. I didn't mean to save the best (really the worst) for a fourth post, but I came across an jaw-dropping item at LifeNews.com this afternoon. It covers an assertion Richards made during the House hearing that is either one of the biggest lies…

Heilemann: McCarthy Comments on Benghazi Hearings 'Disaster' for GOP

How damaging to Republicans are Speaker-presumptive Kevin McCarthy's comments in which he tied the drop in Hillary's poll numbers to the Benghazi hearings? Very damaging, according to the With All Due Respect duo on today's show. John Heilemann called them a "disaster" for congressional Republicans and GOP presidential candidates alike.  Mark Halperin called them a "huge, huge problem" for the…

CNN Frets: Defunding 'Lawful' PP 'Takes Away Woman's Right to Choose'

On Wednesday's New Day on CNN, co-anchor Alisyn Camerota repeatedly fretted over the possibility that cutting off federal funding of Planned Parenthood would make it difficult for women to get abortions. In one segment, she asserted that, in doing so, "obviously it does take away a woman's right to choose." In a later segment, she suggested that defunding Planned Parenthood would lead women to…

Ezra Klein Prematurely Declares Yet Another Peak Trump

How many times have we heard that Donald Trump has peaked since he declared his candidacy for president in June? A half dozen times? More? And each time Peak Trump was announced by pundits, it was inevitably followed by yet another surge in the polls. This is probably why in recent weeks, media prognosticators seem to have shied from declaring Peak Trump since it is always followed by you-know-…

Washington Post: Fiorina Anti-Abortion Champion; Won't Drop Vid Dodge

Just when you think the liberal media is about to give a fair nod to a conservative, they follow it up with any “negative” ammunition they can find. But let’s face it, complimenting a conservative is a very small space on their wheel of tolerance According to the Washington Post, Fiorina has been dubbed the champion of anti-abortion movement. Unfortunately, the well-deserved praise is offered…

CNN's Cuomo Badgers Pro-Lifer Who Made Planned Parenthood Videos

On Wednesday's New Day, CNN's Chris Cuomo acted more like a pro-Planned Parenthood prosecutor than a journalist in his ten-minute-plus interview of David Daleiden. Cuomo repeatedly badgered Daleiden – who managed the undercover project that uncovered the abortion giant's sale of aborted babies' organs and tissues – over the summary videos of the footage his organization shot. He also touted how "…

Forensic Firm Rebuts PP Defenders, Says CMP Videos are 'Authentic'

Tuesday afternoon, Alan Fram laughably headlined his coverage of Planned Parenthood head Cecile Richards' appearance before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee at the Associated Press as follows: "FACING CONGRESS, PLANNED PARENTHOOD CHIEF REBUTS VIDEOS." She did no such thing. Most notably, Fram quoted Richards making the following statement to the committee: "The outrageous…
